In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wwan: mhi_wwan_mbim: guard against a cyclic NDP chain
The NDP traversal in mhi_mbim_rx() only stops when wNextNdpIndex is
zero. Nothing requires the offsets to advance, so a modem that
points an NDP at itself, or at an earlier NDP, keeps the loop
spinning forever on one CPU.
Break out when the next NDP offset is not larger than the current
one.
Verified in a QEMU guest with a fault injector feeding the driver's
receive callback an NTB whose single NDP points at itself: the
unpatched driver spins in mhi_mbim_rx() with one CPU pinned at 100%
and the thread never returns. With this check the loop terminates
within one iteration.
Changes in v2: move the non-increasing check to the wNextNdpIndex
retrieval site, as suggested by Loic Poulain, instead of tracking
the previous offset in a separate variable.
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
