CVE-2026-43205

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.8)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dpaa2-switch: validate num_ifs to prevent out-of-bounds write

The driver obtains sw_attr.num_ifs from firmware via dpsw_get_attributes() but never validates it against DPSW_MAX_IF (64). This value controls iteration in dpaa2_switch_fdb_get_flood_cfg(), which writes port indices into the fixed-size cfg->if_id[DPSW_MAX_IF] array. When firmware reports num_ifs >= 64, the loop can write past the array bounds.

Add a bound check for num_ifs in dpaa2_switch_init().

dpaa2_switch_fdb_get_flood_cfg() appends the control interface (port num_ifs) after all matched ports. When num_ifs == DPSW_MAX_IF and all ports match the flood filter, the loop fills all 64 slots and the control interface write overflows by one entry.

The check uses >= because num_ifs == DPSW_MAX_IF is also functionally broken.

build_if_id_bitmap() silently drops any ID >= 64:

ExplotaciónT1068 Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation85 %
Impacto principalT1059 Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution75 %

Acceso local (AV:L) sin interacción del usuario permite escalada de privilegios mediante escritura fuera de límites. La falta de validación de num_ifs causa desbordamiento de búfer que facilita ejecución de código con permisos elevados.
