CVE-2023-52866 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2023-52866: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: uclogic: Fix user-memory-access bug in uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks() When CONFIG_HID_UCLOGIC=y and CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y, launch kernel and then the below user-memory-access bug occurs. In hid_test_uclogic_params_cleanup_event_hooks(),it call uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks() with the first arg=NULL, so when it calls uclogic_params_ugee_v2_has_battery(), the hid_get_drvdata() will access hdev->dev with hdev=NULL, which will cause below user-memory-access. So add a fake_device with quirks member and call hid_set_drvdata() to assign hdev->dev->driver_data which avoids the null-ptr-def bug for drvdata->quirks in uclogic_params_ugee_v2_has_battery(). After applying this patch, the below user-memory-access bug never occurs. general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000329: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN KASAN: probably user-memory-access in range [0x0000000000001948-0x000000000000194f] CPU: 5 PID: 2189 Comm: kunit_try_catch Tainted: G B W N 6.6.0-rc2+ #30 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.15.0-1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks+0x87/0x600 Code: f3 f3 65 48 8b 14 25 28 00 00 00 48 89 54 24 60 31 d2 48 89 fa c7 44 24 30 00 00 00 00 48 c7 44 24 28 02 f8 02 01 48 c1 ea 03 <80> 3c 02 00 0f 85 2c 04 00 00 48 8b 9d 48 19 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 RSP: 0000:ffff88810679fc88 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: 0000000000000004 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000329 RSI: ffff88810679fd88 RDI: 0000000000001948 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffffed1020f639f0 R10: ffff888107b1cf87 R11: 0000000000000400 R12: 1ffff11020cf3f92 R13: ffff88810679fd88 R14: ffff888100b97b08 R15: ffff8881030bb080 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff888119e80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000005286001 CR4: 0000000000770ee0 DR0: ffffffff8fdd6cf4 DR1: ffffffff8fdd6cf5 DR2: ffffffff8fdd6cf6 DR3: ffffffff8fdd6cf7 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000600 PKRU: 55555554 Call Trace: <TASK> ? die_addr+0x3d/0xa0 ? exc_general_protection+0x144/0x220 ? asm_exc_general_protection+0x22/0x30 ? uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks+0x87/0x600 ? sched_clock_cpu+0x69/0x550 ? uclogic_parse_ugee_v2_desc_gen_params+0x70/0x70 ? load_balance+0x2950/0x2950 ? rcu_trc_cmpxchg_need_qs+0x67/0xa0 hid_test_uclogic_params_cleanup_event_hooks+0x9e/0x1a0 ? uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks+0x600/0x600 ? __switch_to+0x5cf/0xe60 ? migrate_enable+0x260/0x260 ? __kthread_parkme+0x83/0x150 ? kunit_try_run_case_cleanup+0xe0/0xe0 kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x4a/0x90 ? kunit_try_catch_throw+0x80/0x80 kthread+0x2b5/0x380 ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20 ret_from_fork+0x2d/0x70 ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20 ret_from_fork_asm+0x11/0x20 </TASK> Modules linked in: Dumping ftrace buffer: (ftrace buffer empty) ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- RIP: 0010:uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks+0x87/0x600 Code: f3 f3 65 48 8b 14 25 28 00 00 00 48 89 54 24 60 31 d2 48 89 fa c7 44 24 30 00 00 00 00 48 c7 44 24 28 02 f8 02 01 48 c1 ea 03 <80> 3c 02 00 0f 85 2c 04 00 00 48 8b 9d 48 19 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 RSP: 0000:ffff88810679fc88 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: 0000000000000004 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000329 RSI: ffff88810679fd88 RDI: 0000000000001948 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffffed1020f639f0 R10: ffff888107b1cf87 R11: 0000000000000400 R12: 1ffff11020cf3f92 R13: ffff88810679fd88 R14: ffff888100b97b08 R15: ffff8881030bb080 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff888119e80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000005286001 CR4: 0000000000770ee0 DR0: ffffffff8fdd6cf4 DR1: ---truncated---

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2023-52866

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2023-52866 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2023-52866

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2023-52866.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2023-52866, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
