CVE: CVE-2024-56614
Published: 2024-12-27
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xsk: fix OOB map writes when deleting elements

Jordy says:

"
In the xsk_map_delete_elem function an unsigned integer
(map->max_entries) is compared with a user-controlled signed integer
(k). Due to implicit type conversion, a large unsigned value for
map->max_entries can bypass the intended bounds check:

	if (k >= map->max_entries)
		return -EINVAL;

This allows k to hold a negative value (between [PII_REDACTED] and -2),
which is then used as an array index in m->xsk_map[k], which results
in an out-of-bounds access.

	spin_lock_bh(&m->lock);
	map_entry = &m->xsk_map[k]; // Out-of-bounds map_entry
	old_xs = unrcu_pointer(xchg(map_entry, NULL));  // Oob write
	if (old_xs)
		xsk_map_sock_delete(old_xs, map_entry);
	spin_unlock_bh(&m->lock);

The xchg operation can then be used to cause an out-of-bounds write.
Moreover, the invalid map_entry passed to xsk_map_sock_delete can lead
to further memory corruption.
"

It indeed results in following splat:
