In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: pfr_update: fix stack buffer overflow in query_capability()
query_capability() copies four ACPI buffer objects returned by the
firmware _DSM into fixed-size u8[16] fields in struct
pfru_update_cap_info using memcpy with the firmware-supplied length:
memcpy(&cap_hdr->code_type,
elements[CAP_CODE_TYPE_IDX].buffer.pointer,
elements[CAP_CODE_TYPE_IDX].buffer.length);
The same pattern repeats for drv_type, platform_id, and oem_id.
If the firmware returns buffer.length > 16 for any of these fields,
memcpy writes past the destination array.
struct pfru_update_cap_info is stack-allocated in pfru_ioctl().
Confirmed with KASAN on 7.2-rc6: three stack-out-of-bounds reports
are generated when a DSM returns 64-byte buffers, with writes reaching
44 bytes past the end of cap_hdr's [64, 156) frame window into
adjacent stack redzones.
Introduce a helper pointer to out_obj->package.elements and use it
to validate each buffer length against its destination field size
before copying, returning -EINVAL if the firmware supplies an
oversized buffer.
SSVC (CISA's decision table, applied by EchelonGraph)Track at low or medium mission impact; Track* at high (mission-essential systems).
A fix is available. Apply it within your standard update timelines.
Exploitation none (no CISA value, KEV listing or exploit code on record) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). EchelonGraph holds no SSVC assessment of this CVE from CISA: none of these inputs is from Vulnrichment. EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse". CISA's decision table
BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
