CVE-2024-41000: block/ioctl: prefer different overflow check

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • 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: 0.29% (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 3220c90f4dbdc6d20d0608b164d964434a810d66, 5.10.221, 5.15.162; azl3 kernel 6.6.35.1-5 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.47.1-1; azl3 kernel 6.6.47.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.47.1-1.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 3220c90f4dbdc6d20d0608b164d964434a810d66, 5.10.221, 5.15.162; azl3 kernel 6.6.35.1-5 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.47.1-1; azl3 kernel 6.6.47.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.47.1-1 or later.

[ 63.018142] ---[ end trace ]--- Historically, the signed integer overflow sanitizer did not work in the kernel due to its interaction with `-fwrapv` but this has since been changed [1] in the newest version of Clang; It was re-enabled in the kernel with Commit 557f8c582a9ba8ab ("ubsan: Reintroduce signed overflow sanitizer"). Let's rework this overflow checking logic to not actually perform an overflow during the check itself, thus avoiding the UBSAN splat. [1]: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/82432
