CVE-2022-48827

7.5 · HIGH
Published Jul 16, 2024 linux CWE-125 EPSS 0.62% (47th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2022-48827 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on July 16, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

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

NFSD: Fix the behavior of READ near OFFSET_MAX

Dan Aloni reports:

> Due to commit 8cfb9015280d ("NFS: Always provide aligned buffers to

> the RPC read layers") on the client, a read of 0xfff is aligned up

> to server rsize of 0x1000.

>

> As a result, in a test where the server has a file of size

> 0x7fffffffffffffff, and the client tries to read from the offset

> 0x7ffffffffffff000, the read causes loff_t overflow in the server

> and it returns an NFS code of EINVAL to the client. The client as

> a result indefinitely retries the request.

The Linux NFS client does not handle NFS?ERR_INVAL, even though all

NFS specifications permit servers to return that status code for a

READ.

Instead of NFS?ERR_INVAL, have out-of-range READ requests succeed

and return a short result. Set the EOF flag in the result to prevent

the client from retrying the READ request. This behavior appears to

be consistent with Solaris NFS servers.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
