Title
vduse: check that offset is within bounds in get_config()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vduse: check that offset is within bounds in get_config()
This condition checks "len" but it does not check "offset" and that
could result in an out of bounds read if "offset > dev->config_size".
The problem is that since both variables are unsigned the
"dev->config_size - offset" subtraction would result in a very high
unsigned value.
I think these checks might not be necessary because "len" and "offset"
are supposed to already have been validated using the
vhost_vdpa_config_validate() function. But I do not know the code
perfectly, and I like to be safe.

no race or other condition beyond attacker control is required.\\nPR:L - Exploitation requires access to vhost-vdpa/VDUSE device nodes that are commonly granted to non-root virtualization users (e.g., qemu/kvm group), not capabilities that are only available to real root in the init user namespace.\\nUI:N - No victim interaction is needed; the attacker triggers the OOB read directly via ioctl or by attaching/probing the malicious VDUSE device.\\nS:U - Impact is confined to the host kernel and the calling process (kernel memory disclosure or oops); this does not cross a VM/IOMMU/sandbox security authority boundary by itself.\\nC:H - The underflow allows an unbounded out-of-bounds read from kernel memory past the config buffer, and on the vhost-vdpa path that data is copied to userspace via copy_to_user, enabling arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\\nI:N - The bug is a pure out-of-bounds read (memcpy from config+offset into a destination buffer) with no write primitive or integrity modification of kernel state.\\nA:H - A sufficiently large or far OOB read can access unmapped memory and cause a kernel oops/panic, resulting in a full denial of service.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"c8a6153b6c59d95c0e091f053f6f180952ade91e\", \"lessThan\": \"ebbbc5fea3f648175df1aa3f127c78eb0252cc2a\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"c8a6153b6c59d95c0e091f053f6f180952ade91e\", \"lessThan\": \"dc1db0060c02d119fd4196924eff2d1129e9a442\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/vdpa/vdpa_user/vduse_dev.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"5.15\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"5.15\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"5.15.11\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.15.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"5.16\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/vdpa/vdpa_user/vduse_dev.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ebbbc5fea3f648175df1aa3f127c78eb0252cc2a\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dc1db0060c02d119fd4196924eff2d1129e9a442\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\nvduse: check that offset is within bounds in get_config()\\n\\nThis condition checks \\\"len\\\" but it does not check \\\"offset\\\" and that\\ncould result in an out of bounds read if \\\"offset \u003e dev-\u003econfig_size\\\".\\nThe problem is that since both variables are unsigned the\\n\\\"dev-\u003econfig_size - offset\\\" subtraction would result in a very high\\nunsigned value.\\n\\nI think these checks might not be necessary because \\\"len\\\" and \\\"offset\\\"\\nare supposed to already have been validated using the\\nvhost_vdpa_config_validate() function.

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.
