Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-09-11 20:19 - Updated: 2026-09-13 07:17

Severity

8.4 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI: APEI: GHES: fix ARM section length accounting after header In ghes_handle_arm_hw_error(), after skipping the cper_sec_proc_arm header with (err + 1), the remaining length was reduced by sizeof(err) (pointer size) instead of sizeof(*err) (structure size). That overestimates the bytes left for cper_arm_err_info records and can let the parser read past the CPER section when err_info_num is large enough relative to error_data_length. Use sizeof(*err) so the length accounting matches the pointer advance and the earlier sizeof(*err) size check.

The most severe case is a local ARM server or VM whose firmware delivers a crafted ARM section.\nAC:L - After skipping the cper_sec_proc_arm header, remaining length was reduced by sizeof(pointer) (8) instead of sizeof(*err) (40), over-counting by 32 bytes. A recoverable ARM section with err_info_num large relative to error_data_length then deterministically parses past the section; no race or attacker-uncontrollable layout is required.\nPR:N - ghes_do_proc() and ghes_handle_arm_hw_error() apply no capability or credential check; firmware-first RAS notifications are processed in IRQ, NMI, or kworker context without a host login. Compromised ACPI/SDEI firmware or a BMC-written GHES status block needs no Linux account, matching other firmware-sourced kernel CNA scores.\nUI:N - GHES consumes the CPER record automatically on the notification and irq_work path. No victim action such as mounting a filesystem, opening a device node, or confirming a prompt is required.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds parse and any memory_failure() side effects remain in the host kernel that handles GHES. This is not a KVM/Xen guest-to-host escape or an IOMMU/DMA boundary bypass.\nC:H - The inflated remaining length lets the parser read a cper_arm_err_info object past the CPER section. On the SEA/NMI path the estatus node is allocated to the exact CPER size, so this is a kernel gen_pool/heap out-of-bounds read of adjacent objects, including pointers.\nI:H - Out-of-bounds err_info fields are interpreted as a processor cache-error record; if type and validation_bits match, ghes_do_memory_failure() poisons err_info-\u003ephysical_fault_addr taken from adjacent memory. Firmware-controlled neighboring bytes thus yield a kernel integrity primitive via HWPoison of arbitrary PFNs.\nA:H - Reading past an exact-sized ghes_estatus_pool node can hit unmapped memory and oops, as the related ARM GHES parser already did on QEMU. memory_failure() of kernel pages or a large err_info_num walk in IRQ context can panic or hang, and notifications can be repeated."

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
