Severity ?
7.3 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: OPP: add index check to assert to avoid buffer overflow in _read_freq() Pass the freq index to the assert function to make sure we do not read a freq out of the opp->rates[] table when called from the indexed variants: dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact_indexed() or dev_pm_opp_find_freq_ceil/floor_indexed(). Add a secondary parameter to the assert function, unused for assert_single_clk() then add assert_clk_index() which will check for the clock index when called from the _indexed() find functions.

No network, adjacent-network, or removable-device input reaches `_read_freq()`.\nAC:L - On an affected platform the missing bound check is on a straight-line path with no race, no timing window, and no memory-layout precondition \u2014 every OPP lookup through the `_indexed()` variants deterministically reads `opp-\u003erates[index]` past the array. Repeating the read is as simple as generating I/O or GPU load to force a DVFS transition.\nPR:L - An ordinary unprivileged process can drive devfreq/UFS clock-scaling transitions simply by generating storage or GPU load, which sends the governor through `devfreq_recommended_opp()` and `ufshcd_opp_set_rate()` into the unchecked lookup \u2014 no capability, user namespace, or sysfs write privilege is needed to reach the code.\nUI:N - The overread happens autonomously in probe context and in governor-driven DVFS work, with no victim required to open a device node, mount a filesystem, or take any other action.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds access stays within the kernel\u0027s own slab allocations and the affected device\u0027s power-management state, under the same security authority. No hypervisor, IOMMU, container, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The out-of-bounds word read from beyond `opp-\u003erates[]` is not merely compared \u2014 `_opp_table_find_key()` assigns it back through `*key`, so adjacent kernel heap contents (potentially slab metadata or pointers) escape into a caller-visible frequency value that is reported through devfreq/UFS frequency interfaces and tracepoints, and the read is freely repeatable as a heap-content oracle.\nI:L - The garbage key corrupts the ceil/floor/exact comparison, causing selection of the wrong operating point, so an out-of-spec clock rate and voltage are programmed into hardware and bogus `min_freq`/`max_freq` values are stored in the UFS clock descriptors. This is unintended but bounded modification of system state, not an attacker-directed arbitrary write.\nA:H - The slab out-of-bounds read is fatal on the KASAN/`panic_on_warn` configurations common in Android, automotive, and hardened embedded builds, and even on production builds a garbage frequency makes `ufshcd_parse_clock_min_max_freq()` fail probe or leaves the UFS controller and GPU clocked at an invalid rate, producing I/O timeouts, hangs, or a device left without working storage."
