Severity ?
8.4 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mailbox: mchp-ipc-sbi: fix out-of-bounds access in mchp_ipc_get_cluster_aggr_irq() The cluster_cfg array is dynamically allocated to hold per-CPU configuration structures, with its size based on the number of online CPUs. Previously, this array was indexed using hartid, which may be non-contiguous or exceed the bounds of the array, leading to out-of-bounds access. Switch to using cpuid as the index, as it is guaranteed to be within the valid range provided by for_each_online_cpu().

A plausible attacker would need local control of the affected platform/IPC peer or firmware configuration to trigger the bad hart/IRQ condition.\nAC:L - The bug is a direct non-contiguous hart ID versus CPU index mismatch with no race or timing requirement. Such hart mappings are plausible for this Microchip RISC-V platform, so triggering does not depend on conditions outside the attacker\u0027s control once the affected path is reachable.\nPR:N - The vulnerable probe and IRQ handler perform no Linux credential, capability, or authentication checks. An attacker able to drive the local IPC peer/firmware-triggered path does not need privileges inside the vulnerable Linux instance.\nUI:N - No victim action is required after the affected platform path is reachable. Probe-time setup or an IPC interrupt can hit the vulnerable access automatically.\nS:U - The corruption occurs in the Linux kernel driver and impacts the same kernel security authority. There is no VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-authority boundary shown.\nC:H - The out-of-bounds index can read adjacent kernel memory/pointer fields and feed invalid buffer addresses into the SBI status path. Conservatively, this kernel OOB access can expose sensitive memory.\nI:H - The vulnerable probe path writes `irq`, `buf_base`, and `buf_base_addr` through an out-of-bounds `cluster_cfg[hartid]` index. This is kernel heap memory corruption and can plausibly be leveraged for control-flow or data integrity compromise.\nA:H - The same out-of-bounds access can corrupt kernel memory or dereference/copy through invalid pointers in interrupt context. A kernel oops, panic, or boot-time failure is a high availability impact."
