Metrics

Metric Score Severity CVSS Vector Source
V3.1 7.8 HIGH CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Base: Exploitabilty Metrics

The Exploitability metrics reflect the characteristics of the thing that is vulnerable, which we refer to formally as the vulnerable component.

Attack Vector

This metric reflects the context by which vulnerability exploitation is possible.

Local

The vulnerable component is not bound to the network stack and the attacker’s path is via read/write/execute capabilities.

Attack Complexity

This metric describes the conditions beyond the attacker’s control that must exist in order to exploit the vulnerability.

Low

Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success when attacking the vulnerable component.

Privileges Required

This metric describes the level of privileges an attacker must possess before successfully exploiting the vulnerability.

Low

The attacker requires privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.

User Interaction

This metric captures the requirement for a human user, other than the attacker, to participate in the successful compromise of the vulnerable component.

None

The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any user.

Base: Scope Metrics

The Scope metric captures whether a vulnerability in one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.

Scope

Formally, a security authority is a mechanism (e.g., an application, an operating system, firmware, a sandbox environment) that defines and enforces access control in terms of how certain subjects/actors (e.g., human users, processes) can access certain restricted objects/resources (e.g., files, CPU, memory) in a controlled manner. All the subjects and objects under the jurisdiction of a single security authority are considered to be under one security scope. If a vulnerability in a vulnerable component can affect a component which is in a different security scope than the vulnerable component, a Scope change occurs. Intuitively, whenever the impact of a vulnerability breaches a security/trust boundary and impacts components outside the security scope in which vulnerable component resides, a Scope change occurs.

Unchanged

An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.

Base: Impact Metrics

The Impact metrics capture the effects of a successfully exploited vulnerability on the component that suffers the worst outcome that is most directly and predictably associated with the attack. Analysts should constrain impacts to a reasonable, final outcome which they are confident an attacker is able to achieve.

Confidentiality Impact

This metric measures the impact to the confidentiality of the information resources managed by a software component due to a successfully exploited vulnerability.

High

There is a total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact. For example, an attacker steals the administrator's password, or private encryption keys of a web server.

Integrity Impact

This metric measures the impact to integrity of a successfully exploited vulnerability. Integrity refers to the trustworthiness and veracity of information.

High

There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

Availability Impact

This metric measures the impact to the availability of the impacted component resulting from a successfully exploited vulnerability.

High

There is a total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Temporal Metrics

The Temporal metrics measure the current state of exploit techniques or code availability, the existence of any patches or workarounds, or the confidence in the description of a vulnerability.

Environmental Metrics

These metrics enable the analyst to customize the CVSS score depending on the importance of the affected IT asset to a user’s organization, measured in terms of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

The following bug report solely looks at the situation on the upstream master branch; while from a cursory look, at least the wahoo kernel also looks affected, I have only properly tested this on upstream master. There is a race condition between the direct reclaim path (enters binder through the binder_shrinker) and the munmap() syscall (enters binder through the ->close handler of binder_vm_ops). Coming from the munmap() syscall: binder_vma_close()->binder_alloc_vma_close()->binder_alloc_set_vma() sets alloc->vma to NULL without taking any extra locks; binder_vma_close() is called from remove_vma()<-remove_vma_list()<-__do_munmap()<-__vm_munmap()<-sys_munmap() with only the mmap_sem held for writing. Coming through the direct reclaim path: binder_alloc_free_page() doesn't hold the mmap_sem on entry. It contains the following code (comments added by me): enum lru_status binder_alloc_free_page(struct list_head *item, struct list_lru_one *lru, spinlock_t *lock, void *cb_arg) { [...] alloc = page->alloc; if (!mutex_trylock(&alloc->mutex)) goto err_get_alloc_mutex_failed; if (!page->page_ptr) goto err_page_already_freed; index = page - alloc->pages; page_addr = (uintptr_t)alloc->buffer + index * PAGE_SIZE; // unprotected pointer read! `vma` can immediately be freed vma = binder_alloc_get_vma(alloc); if (vma) { if (!mmget_not_zero(alloc->vma_vm_mm)) goto err_mmget; mm = alloc->vma_vm_mm; if (!down_write_trylock(&mm->mmap_sem)) goto err_down_write_mmap_sem_failed; // mmap_sem is held at this point, but the vma pointer was read // before and can be dangling } list_lru_isolate(lru, item); spin_unlock(lock); if (vma) { trace_binder_unmap_user_start(alloc, index); // dangling vma pointer passed to zap_page_range zap_page_range(vma, page_addr + alloc->user_buffer_offset, PAGE_SIZE); trace_binder_unmap_user_end(alloc, index); up_write(&mm->mmap_sem); mmput(mm); } Repro instructions: Unpack the attached binder_race_freevma.tar. Apply the patch 0001-binder-VMA-unprotected-read-helper.patch to an upstream git master tree to widen the race window. Make sure that KASAN is enabled in your kernel config. Build and boot into the built kernel. Run "echo 16383 > /sys/module/binder/parameters/debug_mask" for more dmesg debug output. Compile the PoC with ./compile.sh and, as root, run ./poc to trigger the bug. The output of the PoC should look like this: ====================== # ./poc ### PING 0000: 00 . 00 . 00 . 00 .
