CXL_HEADERLOG_SIZE was defined as SZ_512,\neight times the actual on-device size.\n\nheader_log_copy() reads CXL_HEADERLOG_SIZE_U32 (128) dwords from the\nRAS capability iomap, overrunning the 88-byte mapping by 448 bytes.\nThe cxl_aer_uncorrectable_error trace event memcpy()s CXL_HEADERLOG_SIZE\n(512) bytes from its source.  For the CPER caller the source is\nstruct cxl_ras_capability_regs::header_log[16] (64 bytes) embedded in a\nstack-local cxl_cper_prot_err_work_data, so the memcpy reads 448 bytes\nof kernel stack into the trace event ring buffer where userspace can\nread it via tracefs.\n\nSet CXL_HEADERLOG_SIZE to 64 and derive CXL_HEADERLOG_SIZE_U32 from it,\nbringing all iomap readers into agreement on 16 dwords.  Userspace tools\nsuch as rasdaemon have grown a dependency on the buggy 512-byte (128 u32)\nheader_log layout in the cxl_aer_uncorrectable_error trace event.  Add\nCXL_HEADERLOG_TRACE_SIZE_U32 = 128 and use it for the trace event\n__array and its memcpy to preserve that ABI.  Both callers now pass a\nzero-filled u32[CXL_HEADERLOG_TRACE_SIZE_U32] staging buffer with only\nthe first CXL_HEADERLOG_SIZE_U32 (16) entries populated from hardware;\nthe remaining 112 u32s are zero-padded, keeping the 512-byte trace ring\nbuffer layout intact.\n\n[ dj: Replaced 64 with SZ_64 per RichardC ]"

Disclosure requires reading tracefs; there is no network, adjacent-radio, or direct physical-bus syscall entry to the vulnerable memcpy/readl sites.\nAC:L - With CAP_SYS_ADMIN, ACPI/CXL EINJ via debugfs einj_inject deterministically injects uncorrectable CXL protocol errors that traverse cxl_cper_handle_prot_err/cxl_handle_ras. Without root, a tracing-group member on CXL servers running rasdaemon can reliably capture the leak whenever organic uncorrectable RAS events occur.\nPR:L - Exploitation requires reading cxl_aer_uncorrectable_error data from tracefs (TRACE_MODE_READ 0440), routinely granted to tracing-group/rasdaemon service accounts on CXL/RAS deployments. Triggering on demand uses debugfs EINJ (root) or natural hardware errors; no init-namespace-only capability beyond tracefs DAC is needed for the stack leak.\nUI:N - Once CXL tracepoints are enabled (as rasdaemon does automatically), uncorrectable RAS/CPER processing copies the overlong header_log during kernel error handling. No victim mount, login, or interactive action is required beyond the attacker (or environment) having tracefs access when an error fires.\nS:U - The flaw leaks kernel stack/MMIO data into the trace ring buffer within the host kernel. Impact stays in the same OS security authority (local privilege/information gain) and does not cross guest/host, IOMMU, or container hardware trust boundaries.\nC:H - TP_fast_assign memcpy() copies 512 bytes from a 64-byte ras_cap.header_log on the stack, leaking 448 bytes of kernel stack into tracefs. header_log_copy() also readl()s 128 dwords from an 88-byte RAS iomap, an out-of-bounds read of adjacent MMIO/device memory.\nI:N - Both failure modes are out-of-bounds reads only (stack and MMIO). The trace event stores leaked bytes in the ring buffer but does not corrupt attacker-controlled memory or provide a direct arbitrary-write primitive.\nA:H - header_log_copy() performs 448 bytes of MMIO reads past the devm_ioremap() RAS window (0x58 bytes), which can provoke CPU/MMU faults or platform errors on out-of-range readl(). Uncorrectable-error handling itself can disable CXL.mem devices and force resets, impacting availability."
