Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: idpf: bound interrupt-vector register fill to the allocated array idpf_get_reg_intr_vecs() fills the caller-allocated reg_vals[] array from the VIRTCHNL2_OP_ALLOC_VECTORS reply in adapter->req_vec_chunks, bounding its inner loop only by the per-chunk num_vectors. The array is sized separately: idpf_intr_reg_init() allocates kzalloc_objs(struct idpf_vec_regs, total_vecs) from caps.num_allocated_vectors and only checks the returned count after the fill. The sum of per-chunk num_vectors is never reconciled against total_vecs, so a reply with a small num_allocated_vectors but chunks summing higher writes past the end of reg_vals[]. Impact: a control plane (a PF or hypervisor device model) that returns a VIRTCHNL2_OP_ALLOC_VECTORS reply whose per-chunk num_vectors sum exceeds num_allocated_vectors writes struct idpf_vec_regs entries past the end of the reg_vals kmalloc allocation (KASAN slab-out-of-bounds write). Bound the fill loop to the array capacity passed in by the callers, mirroring the sibling idpf_vport_get_q_reg(). The existing num_regs < num_vecs check then rejects an undersized reply without the out-of-bounds write happening first.

cloud and server images auto-probe the Intel idpf PF/VF and open netdevs at boot, so the attacker need not wait for a user to mount, click, or manually configure the interface.\\nS:C - The attack crosses the SR-IOV/virtio control-plane boundary: a hypervisor or device firmware outside the guest/host kernel trust domain corrupts kernel heap memory inside the idpf driver security authority, matching other virtchnl isolation-breaker CVEs.\\nC:H - The flaw is a kmalloc slab out-of-bounds write of attacker-influenced struct idpf_vec_regs entries (dyn_ctl_reg, itrn_reg, itrn_index_spacing); such heap corruption can disclose adjacent slab objects and be groomed into an arbitrary kernel read primitive.\\nI:H - Each overfilled entry writes 12 bytes of control-plane-supplied register metadata past reg_vals[], giving a repeatable heap overflow primitive that can corrupt adjacent allocations and be leveraged for control-flow hijack or privilege escalation in the victim kernel.\\nA:H - Writing far beyond the reg_vals[] allocation corrupts slab metadata or adjacent kernel objects and can immediately oops/panic the host or guest kernel; hardware-reset recovery re-enters idpf_vc_core_init(), allowing repeated crash or re-exploitation attempts.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"d4d5587182664b0c4ab6d3556ce881cb975507c2\", \"lessThan\": \"a6447b6a9678e701ca4d32789f311067cf528c2d\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"d4d5587182664b0c4ab6d3556ce881cb975507c2\", \"lessThan\": \"e299b7d1334ebec4d43a7bb697d10c12df1aaed3\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"d4d5587182664b0c4ab6d3556ce881cb975507c2\", \"lessThan\": \"41bb8748124d0d8ee5d8e1eace9dfbc874bc9564\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"d4d5587182664b0c4ab6d3556ce881cb975507c2\", \"lessThan\": \"9f7007ee9858c99aa43101bc8352c672fee85644\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_dev.c\", \"drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_vf_dev.c\", \"drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_virtchnl.c\", \"drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_virtchnl.h\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"6.7\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"6.7\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.12.114\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.18.57\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.1.8\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.1.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.2\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_dev.c\", \"drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_vf_dev.c\", \"drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_virtchnl.c\", \"drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_virtchnl.h\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a6447b6a9678e701ca4d32789f311067cf528c2d\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e299b7d1334ebec4d43a7bb697d10c12df1aaed3\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/41bb8748124d0d8ee5d8e1eace9dfbc874bc9564\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9f7007ee9858c99aa43101bc8352c672fee85644\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\nidpf: bound interrupt-vector register fill to the allocated array\\n\\nidpf_get_reg_intr_vecs() fills the caller-allocated reg_vals[] array from\\nthe VIRTCHNL2_OP_ALLOC_VECTORS reply in adapter-\u003ereq_vec_chunks, bounding\\nits inner loop only by the per-chunk num_vectors.
