Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-09-17 17:17 - Updated: 2026-09-18 18:17

Severity

7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: misc: sgi-gru: remove interrupt-context page-table walks The GRU TLB miss handler walks a process's page tables without holding page-table locks or a reference to the mapped page. It also uses a kernel page-table accessor on user page tables and supports only PMD-level large mappings on x86-64. Remove the direct walker. Send interrupt faults directly to user polling mode so the existing call-OS fallback retries them in process context. Remove the mmap-lock failure statistic that can no longer be incremented.

              "value": "AV:L - The attacker supplies the faulting VA by writing a virtual-mode GRU vload/vstore/bcopy into the mmap\u0027d GSEG on /dev/gru. gru_fault loads the context; the miss is handled by gru_intr (default GRU_OPT_MISS_FMM_INTR) or ioctl GRU_USER_CALL_OS (gru_handle_user_call_os), both of which called atomic_pte_lookup on that missvaddr.\nAC:L - gru_create_new_context defaults to GRU_OPT_MISS_FMM_INTR, so a mapped-mode GRU instruction reliably hits gru_intr, which mmap_read_trylocks gts-\u003ets_mm and runs atomic_pte_lookup. A 1GB hugetlb VMA is mis-walked with no race because pud_leaf is never checked; a second thread of the same process can also madvise/unmap during the unlocked walk.\nPR:L - gru_fops has no .open method and gru_file_mmap/gru_file_unlocked_ioctl do not call capable(). An unprivileged process that can open miscdevice \"gru\" (/dev/gru) can mmap the GSEG, ioctl GRU_CREATE_CONTEXT, and issue GRU instructions that reach atomic_pte_lookup; only gru_unload_all_contexts requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN.\nUI:N - The attacker alone opens /dev/gru, maps the GSEG, calls GRU_CREATE_CONTEXT, and issues the GRU instruction or GRU_USER_CALL_OS ioctl; no other user needs to act.\nS:U - atomic_pte_lookup feeds a GPA to tfh_write_restart on the host GRU chiplet. A bad PFN lets GRU DMA into host kernel or other-process memory, which is privilege escalation in the same kernel authority, not a guest-to-host or IOMMU-domain crossing.\nC:H - atomic_pte_lookup never tests pud_leaf, so pud_pgtable() on a 1GB hugetlb leaf treats attacker-controlled hugepage bytes as PMD/PTE entries. pte_pfn of that crafted entry is installed by tfh_write_restart, and gru_vload/bcopy then reads that physical page into the attacker-mapped GSEG. The walk also never pins the page, so a stale PFN can be read after reuse.\nI:H - gru_vstore, gru_bcopy, and AMO opcodes write through the GRU TLB entry programmed by tfh_write_restart. A PFN taken from the pud_leaf miswalk of attacker-controlled 1GB hugepage contents, or from an unpinned PTE reused after free, is therefore an arbitrary physical write.\nA:H - pte_offset_kernel() on a pud_leaf 1GB mapping (or on a PMD that is not a table) computes __va of a non-page-table PFN and dereferences it in gru_intr/atomic_pte_lookup, oopsing the kernel. GRU DMA through a stale unpinned PFN can also panic."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
