Details

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

ring-buffer: Fix overflow in __rb_map_vma

An overflow occurred when performing the following calculation:

nr_pages = ((nr_subbufs + 1) << subbuf_order) - pgoff;

Add a check before the calculation to avoid this problem.

syzbot reported this as a slab-out-of-bounds in __rb_map_vma:

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.
