CVE-2023-54060: iommufd: Set end correctly when doing batch carry

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)

  • 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: 0.18% (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 176f36a376c417b58d19f79edfce20db9317eaa2, b7c822fa6b7701b17e139f1c562fc24135880ed4.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 176f36a376c417b58d19f79edfce20db9317eaa2, b7c822fa6b7701b17e139f1c562fc24135880ed4 or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommufd: Set end correctly when doing batch carry Even though the test suite covers this it somehow became obscured that this wasn't working. The test iommufd_ioas.mock_domain.access_domain_destory would blow up rarely. end should be set to 1 because this just pushed an item, the carry, to the pfns list. Sometimes the test would blow up with: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU: 5 PID: 584 Comm: iommufd Not tainted 6.5.0-rc1-dirty #1236 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:batch_unpin+0xa2/0x100 [iommufd] Code: 17 48 81 fe ff ff 07 00 77 70 48 8b 15 b7 be 97 e2 48 85 d2 74 14 48 8b 14 fa 48 85 d2 74 0b 40 0f b6 f6 48 c1 e6 04 48 01 f2 <48> 8b 3a 48 c1 e0 06 89 ca 48 89 de 48 83 e7 f0 48 01 c7 e8 96 dc RSP: 0018:ffffc90001677a58 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 00007f7e2646f000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000000000000001 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 00000000fefc4c8d RDI: 0000000000fefc4c RBP: ffffc90001677a80 R08: 0000000000000048 R09: 0000000000000200 R10: 0000000000030b98 R11: ffffffff81f3bb40 R12: 0000000000000001 R13: ffff888101f75800 R14: ffffc90001677ad0 R15: 00000000000001fe FS: 00007f9323679740(0000) GS:ffff8881ba540000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000105ede003 CR4: 00000000003706a0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: <TASK> ? show_regs+0x5c/0x70 ? __die+0x1f/0x60 ? page_fault_oops+0x15d/0x440 ? lock_release+0xbc/0x240 ? exc_page_fault+0x4a4/0x970 ? asm_exc_page_fault+0x27/0x30 ? batch_unpin+0xa2/0x100 [iommufd] ? batch_unpin+0xba/0x100 [iommufd] __iopt_area_unfill_domain+0x198/0x430 [iommufd] ? __mutex_lock+0x8c/0xb80 ? __mutex_lock+0x6aa/0xb80 ? xa_erase+0x28/0x30 ? iopt_table_remove_domain+0x162/0x320 [iommufd] ? lock_release+0xbc/0x240 iopt_area_unfill_domain+0xd/0x10 [iommufd] iopt_table_remove_domain+0x195/0x320 [iommufd] iommufd_hw_pagetable_destroy+0xb3/0x110 [iommufd] iommufd_object_destroy_user+0x8e/0xf0 [iommufd] iommufd_device_detach+0xc5/0x140 [iommufd] iommufd_selftest_destroy+0x1f/0x70 [iommufd] iommufd_object_destroy_user+0x8e/0xf0 [iommufd] iommufd_destroy+0x3a/0x50 [iommufd] iommufd_fops_ioctl+0xfb/0x170 [iommufd] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x40d/0x9a0 do_syscall_64+0x3c/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

No history yet (it accumulates with the daily EPSS job).

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.

No commit or PR link among the references.

Credits

All researchers

Finders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
