Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2023-53254 (Linux). CVSS 7.8 → 7.1 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cacheinfo: Fix shared_cpu_map to handle shared caches at different levels
The cacheinfo sets up the shared_cpu_map by checking whether the caches
with the same index are shared between CPUs. However, this will trigger
slab-out-of-bounds access if the CPUs do not have the same cache hierarchy.
Another problem is the mismatched shared_cpu_map when the shared cache does
not have the same index between CPUs.
CPU0 I D L3
index 0 1 2 x
^ ^ ^ ^
index 0 1 2 3
CPU1 I D L2 L3
This patch checks each cache is shared with all caches on other CPUs.
