Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

x86/Kconfig: make CFI_AUTO_DEFAULT depend on !RUST or Rust >= 1.88

Calling core::fmt::write() from rust code while FineIBT is enabled results in a kernel panic:

This happens because core::fmt::write() calls core::fmt::rt::Argument::fmt(), which currently has CFI disabled:

library/core/src/fmt/rt.rs: 171 // FIXME: Transmuting formatter in new and indirectly branching to/calling 172 // it here is an explicit CFI violation. 173 #[allow(inline_no_sanitize)] 174 #[no_sanitize(cfi, kcfi)] 175 #[inline] 176 pub(super) unsafe fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result {

This causes a Control Protection exception, because FineIBT has sealed off the original function's endbr64.

This makes rust currently incompatible with FineIBT. Add a Kconfig dependency that prevents FineIBT from getting turned on by default if rust is enabled.

[ Rust 1.88.0 (scheduled for 2025-06-26) should have this fixed [1], and thus we relaxed the condition with Rust >= 1.88.

When objtool lands checking for this with e.g. [2], the plan is to ideally run that in upstream Rust's CI to prevent regressions early [3], since we do not control core's source code.

Alice tested the Rust PR backported to an older compiler.

Peter would like that Rust provides a stable core which can be pulled into the kernel: "Relying on that much out of tree code is 'unfortunate'".

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.
