On SEV/TDX/CCA guests and SME hosts, force_dma_unencrypted() is true, so a wireless attacker reaches the type confusion without a wired/Internet service.\nAC:L - The peer fully controls association and ADDBA, so the GFP_ATOMIC dma_alloc_pages() call is deterministic with no race to win. Confidential-computing dma-direct (atomic decrypted pool, no IOMMU) is the scored deployment, not an uninfluenced memory layout or rare extra config.\nPR:N - ath11k peer/TID setup and the cdns3 gadget GFP_ATOMIC dma_alloc_noncoherent() path run in kernel interrupt/softirq context with no host account, capability, or user-namespace check. An unauthenticated WiFi peer (or USB gadget host) is sufficient.\nUI:N - Peer creation and Block Ack setup are 802.11 protocol operations. Once the interface is up as an AP/hotspot or an already-associated STA, exploitation needs no victim mount, open, or other interactive step.\nS:U - The allocator returns a CPU virtual address as a struct page *, corrupting page and DMA bookkeeping in the same kernel. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or host/guest confidential-computing boundary crossing.\nC:H - Callers treat the kernel VA as a struct page, so page_to_virt/page_address/page_to_pfn compute wrong addresses and dma_mmap_pages() can remap a bogus PFN into userspace. That type confusion is an arbitrary kernel-memory disclosure primitive.\nI:H - sg_set_page, page_address stores, dma_set_encrypted(), and dma_free_contiguous() then operate on the fake page pointer, writing, re-encrypting, or freeing the wrong memory. That is an arbitrary kernel write/free primitive usable for control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Interpreting a DMA pool virtual address as a struct page * causes invalid vmemmap/page-flag accesses and buddy frees, which oops or panic the kernel even when not fully turned into a stable read/write primitive."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["kernel/dma/direct.c"], "versions": [{"version": "5b138c534fda57c2ebc1e6de72578aa1d70788a6", "lessThan": "c3fdb94da43ff23287f85664174c45c45e881a3f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "5b138c534fda57c2ebc1e6de72578aa1d70788a6", "lessThan": "408ff2d5bf555bd3f4c84a2edb95c0690bf9edc8", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "5b138c534fda57c2ebc1e6de72578aa1d70788a6", "lessThan": "feeb2ef775081a6c188cdd10e7a45369a07ce531", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "5b138c534fda57c2ebc1e6de72578aa1d70788a6", "lessThan": "94a04ad732c9f8b9554270fc4038a06737de5c22", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["kernel/dma/direct.c"], "versions": [{"version": "5.10", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "5.10", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.110", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.51", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3-rc1", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.110"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.51"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.5"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3-rc1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c3fdb94da43ff23287f85664174c45c45e881a3f"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/408ff2d5bf555bd3f4c84a2edb95c0690bf9edc8"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/feeb2ef775081a6c188cdd10e7a45369a07ce531"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/94a04ad732c9f8b9554270fc4038a06737de5c22"}], "title": "dma-direct: return struct page from dma_direct_alloc_from_pool()", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
