In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/9p: fix uninit-value in p9_client_rpc() Syzbot with the help of KMSAN reported the following error: BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in trace_9p_client_res include/trace/events/9p.h:146 [inline] BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in p9_client_rpc+0x1314/0x1340 net/9p/client.c:754 trace_9p_client_res include/trace/events/9p.h:146 [inline] p9_client_rpc+0x1314/0x1340 net/9p/client.c:754 p9_client_create+0x1551/0x1ff0 net/9p/client.c:1031 v9fs_session_init+0x1b9/0x28e0 fs/9p/v9fs.c:410 v9fs_mount+0xe2/0x12b0 fs/9p/vfs_super.c:122 legacy_get_tree+0x114/0x290 fs/fs_context.c:662 vfs_get_tree+0xa7/0x570 fs/super.c:1797 do_new_mount+0x71f/0x15e0 fs/namespace.c:3352 path_mount+0x742/0x1f20 fs/namespace.c:3679 do_mount fs/namespace.c:3692 [inline] __do_sys_mount fs/namespace.c:3898 [inline] __se_sys_mount+0x725/0x810 fs/namespace.c:3875 __x64_sys_mount+0xe4/0x150 fs/namespace.c:3875 do_syscall_64+0xd5/0x1f0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6d/0x75 Uninit was created at: __alloc_pages+0x9d6/0xe70 mm/page_alloc.c:4598 __alloc_pages_node include/linux/gfp.h:238 [inline] alloc_pages_node include/linux/gfp.h:261 [inline] alloc_slab_page mm/slub.c:2175 [inline] allocate_slab mm/slub.c:2338 [inline] new_slab+0x2de/0x1400 mm/slub.c:2391 ___slab_alloc+0x1184/0x33d0 mm/slub.c:3525 __slab_alloc mm/slub.c:3610 [inline] __slab_alloc_node mm/slub.c:3663 [inline] slab_alloc_node mm/slub.c:3835 [inline] kmem_cache_alloc+0x6d3/0xbe0 mm/slub.c:3852 p9_tag_alloc net/9p/client.c:278 [inline] p9_client_prepare_req+0x20a/0x1770 net/9p/client.c:641 p9_client_rpc+0x27e/0x1340 net/9p/client.c:688 p9_client_create+0x1551/0x1ff0 net/9p/client.c:1031 v9fs_session_init+0x1b9/0x28e0 fs/9p/v9fs.c:410 v9fs_mount+0xe2/0x12b0 fs/9p/vfs_super.c:122 legacy_get_tree+0x114/0x290 fs/fs_context.c:662 vfs_get_tree+0xa7/0x570 fs/super.c:1797 do_new_mount+0x71f/0x15e0 fs/namespace.c:3352 path_mount+0x742/0x1f20 fs/namespace.c:3679 do_mount fs/namespace.c:3692 [inline] __do_sys_mount fs/namespace.c:3898 [inline] __se_sys_mount+0x725/0x810 fs/namespace.c:3875 __x64_sys_mount+0xe4/0x150 fs/namespace.c:3875 do_syscall_64+0xd5/0x1f0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6d/0x75 If p9_check_errors() fails early in p9_client_rpc(), req->rc.tag will not be properly initialized. However, trace_9p_client_res() ends up trying to print it out anyway before p9_client_rpc() finishes. Fix this issue by assigning default values to p9_fcall fields such as 'tag' and (just in case KMSAN unearths something new) 'id' during the tag allocation stage.

CWE-ID Weakness Name Source
CWE-665 Improper Initialization

Metrics

Metrics Score Severity CVSS Vector Source
V3.1 5.5 MEDIUM CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/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.

None

There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.

Integrity Impact

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

None

There is no loss of integrity within 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.
