Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-09 09:33 – Updated: 2025-11-12 21:31

Details

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

mlxbf-bootctl: use sysfs_emit_at() in secure_boot_fuse_state_show()

A warning is seen when running the latest kernel on a BlueField SOC: [251.512704] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [251.512711] invalid sysfs_emit: buf:0000000003aa32ae [251.512720] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 705264 at fs/sysfs/file.c:767 sysfs_emit+0xac/0xc8

The warning is triggered because the mlxbf-bootctl driver invokes "sysfs_emit()" with a buffer pointer that is not aligned to the start of the page. The driver should instead use "sysfs_emit_at()" to support non-zero offsets into the destination buffer.

Severity

5.5 (Medium)

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.
