Title
ACPI: sysfs: validate return type of _STR method
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: sysfs: validate return type of _STR method
Only buffer objects are valid return values of _STR.
If something else is returned description_show() will access invalid
memory.

There is no network or physical-access requirement for the reading attacker.\nAC:L - On an affected platform a single read(2) of the sysfs file deterministically hits the type-confused dereference \u2014 no race, no memory-layout grooming, and no ASLR bypass is needed, and the read can be repeated at will since str_obj is cached at boot.\nPR:L - The description attribute is created via DEVICE_ATTR_RO (mode 0444) under a world-traversable /sys/bus/acpi/devices/ tree, so any unprivileged local user can read it; no capability, user namespace, or root access is required.\nUI:N - Exploitation consists solely of the attacker opening and reading a sysfs file; no victim action, mount, or configuration change is involved.\nS:U - The invalid access and its consequences are entirely within the kernel\u0027s own security authority \u2014 there is no hypervisor, IOMMU, or other security-boundary crossing.\nC:H - The type confusion feeds a firmware-supplied pointer and length into utf16s_to_utf8s(), whose output is copied straight to userspace \u2014 yielding an out-of-bounds heap read past the ACPI object (STRING case), disclosure of raw kernel pointers from the elements array (PACKAGE case), or a fully controlled arbitrary-address read (PROCESSOR/pblk_address on 64-bit, INTEGER on 32-bit), up to 4095 bytes per read and repeatable.\nI:L - No write primitive exists \u2014 the output is correctly bounded to the sysfs page \u2014 but the confusion makes the kernel dereference a firmware-controlled address that is semantically an I/O address, so reads landing on direct-mapped MMIO can alter device state through read-side-effect registers, a limited and non-targeted modification.\nA:H - The confused pointer is a NULL/low address in the POWER case and an arbitrary or out-of-bounds address in the others, so an unprivileged read reliably produces a kernel oops \u2014 a full panic on the panic_on_oops configurations common in embedded, automotive, and production deployments."
