CVE-2024-56649
Enetc Kernel Denial of Service
Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: enetc: Do not configure preemptible TCs if SIs do not support Both ENETC PF and VF drivers share enetc_setup_tc_mqprio() to configure MQPRIO. And enetc_setup_tc_mqprio() calls enetc_change_preemptible_tcs() to configure preemptible TCs. However, only PF is able to configure preemptible TCs. Because only PF has related registers, while VF does not have these registers. So for VF, its hw->port pointer is NULL. Therefore, VF will access an invalid pointer when accessing a non-existent register, which will cause a crash issue. The simplified log is as follows. root@ls1028ardb:~# tc qdisc add dev eno0vf0 parent root handle 100: \ mqprio num_tc 4 map 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 queues 1@0 1@1 1@2 1@3 hw 1 [ 187.290775] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000000001f00 [ 187.424831] pc : enetc_mm_commit_preemptible_tcs+0x1c4/0x400 [ 187.430518] lr : enetc_mm_commit_preemptible_tcs+0x30c/0x400 [ 187.511140] Call trace: [ 187.513588] enetc_mm_commit_preemptible_tcs+0x1c4/0x400 [ 187.518918] enetc_setup_tc_mqprio+0x180/0x214 [ 187.523374] enetc_vf_setup_tc+0x1c/0x30 [ 187.527306] mqprio_enable_offload+0x144/0x178 [ 187.531766] mqprio_init+0x3ec/0x668 [ 187.535351] qdisc_create+0x15c/0x488 [ 187.539023] tc_modify_qdisc+0x398/0x73c [ 187.542958] rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x128/0x378 [ 187.547064] netlink_rcv_skb+0x60/0x130 [ 187.550910] rtnetlink_rcv+0x18/0x24 [ 187.554492] netlink_unicast+0x300/0x36c [ 187.558425] netlink_sendmsg+0x1a8/0x420 [ 187.606759] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- In addition, some PFs also do not support configuring preemptible TCs, such as eno1 and eno3 on LS1028A.
