Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-16 12:30 – Updated: 2026-09-16 15:31

Details

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

LoongArch: Fix acpi_package_ids[] array overflow

With LoongArch virt machine, a typical setting is one core per socket, there will max 256 sockets (packages) on one VM. With PPTT acpi table, array acpi_package_ids[] will be overflowed.

Here change the array size of acpi_package_ids[] with the max value of MAX_PACKAGES and KVM_MAX_VCPUS.

Severity

8.4 (High)

A hypervisor-generated virt-machine table or supply-chain/evil-maid firmware with more than 16 unique packages triggers the write without any account or user-namespace privilege.\nUI:N - The out-of-bounds write runs as part of ordinary kernel_init_freeable() SMP setup before userspace starts; no victim mount, file open, or other interactive action is required.\nS:U - The write corrupts kernel BSS and related globals inside the same kernel that parsed PPTT. This is not a KVM guest-to-host escape, sandbox breakout, or IOMMU/DMA authority crossing.\nC:H - Firmware-controlled 32-bit topology IDs are written past acpi_package_ids[] into adjacent kernel BSS, and the later canonicalization loop also reads past the array. Per memory-corruption guidance that is High confidentiality, not a bounded few-byte leak.\nI:H - This is a direct out-of-bounds write of firmware-controlled ints past a 16-entry static array (up to hundreds of stores on large VMs). Out-of-bounds writes score High because they can smash adjacent BSS, including function pointers, and enable control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Smashing kernel BSS during SMP bring-up can oops, panic, or prevent boot. Canonicalized package IDs \u003e= MAX_PACKAGES also index loongson3_cpufreq\u0027s cpufreq_mutex[MAX_PACKAGES] out of bounds, causing further crashes."
