Affected: Linux

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

ethtool: Avoid overflowing userspace buffer on stats query

The ethtool -S command operates across three ioctl calls: ETHTOOL_GSSET_INFO for the size, ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS for the names, and ETHTOOL_GSTATS for the values.

If the number of stats changes between these calls (e.g., due to device reconfiguration), userspace's buffer allocation will be incorrect, potentially leading to buffer overflow.

Drivers are generally expected to maintain stable stat counts, but some drivers (e.g., mlx5, bnx2x, bna, ksz884x) use dynamic counters, making this scenario possible.

Some drivers try to handle this internally: - bnad_get_ethtool_stats() returns early in case stats.n_stats is not equal to the driver's stats count. - micrel/ksz884x also makes sure not to write anything beyond stats.n_stats and overflow the buffer.

However, both use stats.n_stats which is already assigned with the value returned from get_sset_count(), hence won't solve the issue described here.

Change ethtool_get_strings(), ethtool_get_stats(), ethtool_get_phy_stats() to not return anything in case of a mismatch between userspace's size and get_sset_size(), to prevent buffer overflow. The returned n_stats value will be equal to zero, to reflect that nothing has been returned.

This could result in one of two cases when using upstream ethtool, depending on when the size change is detected: 1. When detected in ethtool_get_strings(): # ethtool…

Qualys discovered that several vulnerabilities existed in the AppArmor Linux kernel Security Module (LSM). An unprivileged local attacker could use these issues to load, replace, and remove arbitrary AppArmor profiles causing denial of service, exposure of sensitive information (kernel memory), local privilege escalation, or possibly escape a container. (LP: #2143853)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - PowerPC architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - ACPI drivers; - ATM drivers; - Drivers core; - Network block device driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Character device driver; - TPM device driver; - Data acquisition framework and drivers; - Counter interface drivers; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Intel Stratix 10 firmware drivers; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - IIO subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - Input Device (Tablet) drivers; - ISDN/mISDN subsystem; - Macintosh device drivers; - Media drivers; - MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) drivers; - MTD block device drivers; - Network drivers; - Mellanox network drivers; - Texas Instruments network drivers; - Ethernet team driver; - MediaTek network drivers; - NVME drivers; - PA-RISC drivers; - PCI subsyste…
