CVE-2023-54325 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2023-54325: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: qat - fix out-of-bounds read When preparing an AER-CTR request, the driver copies the key provided by the user into a data structure that is accessible by the firmware. If the target device is QAT GEN4, the key size is rounded up by 16 since a rounded up size is expected by the device. If the key size is rounded up before the copy, the size used for copying the key might be bigger than the size of the region containing the key, causing an out-of-bounds read. Fix by doing the copy first and then update the keylen. This is to fix the following warning reported by KASAN: [ 138.150574] BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in qat_alg_skcipher_init_com.isra.0+0x197/0x250 [intel_qat] [ 138.150641] Read of size 32 at addr ffffffff88c402c0 by task cryptomgr_test/2340 [ 138.150651] CPU: 15 PID: 2340 Comm: cryptomgr_test Not tainted 6.2.0-rc1+ #45 [ 138.150659] Hardware name: Intel Corporation ArcherCity/ArcherCity, BIOS EGSDCRB1.86B.0087.D13.2208261706 08/26/2022 [ 138.150663] Call Trace: [ 138.150668] <TASK> [ 138.150922] kasan_check_range+0x13a/0x1c0 [ 138.150931] memcpy+0x1f/0x60 [ 138.150940] qat_alg_skcipher_init_com.isra.0+0x197/0x250 [intel_qat] [ 138.151006] qat_alg_skcipher_init_sessions+0xc1/0x240 [intel_qat] [ 138.151073] crypto_skcipher_setkey+0x82/0x160 [ 138.151085] ? prepare_keybuf+0xa2/0xd0 [ 138.151095] test_skcipher_vec_cfg+0x2b8/0x800

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2023-54325

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2023-54325 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-2023-54325

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2023-54325.

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-2023-54325, 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.
