CVE-2022-50062: net: bgmac: Fix a BUG triggered by wrong bytes_compl

MediumCVSS 5.5 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.44% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 1b7680c6c1f6de9904f1d9b05c952f0c64a03350, ab2b55bb25db289ba0b68e3d58494476bdb1041d, ac6d4482f29ab992b605c1b4bd1347f1f679f4e4.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 7.5, NVD 5.5.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 1b7680c6c1f6de9904f1d9b05c952f0c64a03350, ab2b55bb25db289ba0b68e3d58494476bdb1041d, ac6d4482f29ab992b605c1b4bd1347f1f679f4e4 or later.

If there is an RX interrupt between setting ring->end and netdev_sent_queue() we can hit the BUG_ON as bgmac_dma_tx_free() can miscalculate the queue size while called from bgmac_poll(). The machine which triggered the BUG runs a v4.14 RT kernel - but the issue seems present in mainline too.
