Both hit the same nfsd thread's reused gss_svc_data.clcred; the tightness failure is deterministic with no race.\nPR:N - svcauth_gss_decode_credbody() is the RPC_AUTH_GSS credential decoder inside svcauth_gss_accept(), reached before gss_svc_searchbyctx(), gss_verify_mic(), or nfsd export/client checks.

No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - On tightness failure, xdr_stream_decode_opaque_inline() writes gc_ctx.data into the UDP in-place skb (svc_udp_recvfrom) while gc_ctx.len stays the prior handle length. svc_udp_release_ctxt() consume_skb() then frees that skb; gss_svc_searchbyctx()\u2192dup_to_netobj() kmemdups handle->len bytes from the dangling pointer, a UAF read of reclaimed kernel memory.\nI:H - The leftover clcred.gc_ctx is a use-after-free of skb-backed memory with an attacker-chosen stale length planted by the prior GSS handle. Spraying the consumed skb lets length-driven consumers of that netobj treat attacker bytes as kernel objects, so integrity impact is High as for other kernel UAFs.\nA:H - Walking gc_ctx.data after consume_skb() oopses the nfsd thread when the skb is reused or unmapped, and the attacker can repeat tightness-fail Calls to kill service threads or panic the host where panic_on_oops is set."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["net/sunrpc/auth_gss/svcauth_gss.c"], "versions": [{"version": "b0bc53470d1af01f62a0fe2d405cf56477804863", "lessThan": "56b29d62017c7dd1718d060dd5b3a2ce61095d0c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b0bc53470d1af01f62a0fe2d405cf56477804863", "lessThan": "0e18641708eaa8bc3c1ff338cd844aeadbd52bac", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b0bc53470d1af01f62a0fe2d405cf56477804863", "lessThan": "e0778464049b0238f2915a40007a4154f86cf351", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b0bc53470d1af01f62a0fe2d405cf56477804863", "lessThan": "0fa8a8acae57e6373962741d5b06d13f44aba6a9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b0bc53470d1af01f62a0fe2d405cf56477804863", "lessThan": "11539e8fcce0b0af062ae5fecf7b3676c2f7aeed", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["net/sunrpc/auth_gss/svcauth_gss.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.3", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.3", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.157", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.109", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.50", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.3", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.157"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.3", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.109"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.3", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.50"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.3", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.3", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/56b29d62017c7dd1718d060dd5b3a2ce61095d0c"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0e18641708eaa8bc3c1ff338cd844aeadbd52bac"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e0778464049b0238f2915a40007a4154f86cf351"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0fa8a8acae57e6373962741d5b06d13f44aba6a9"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/11539e8fcce0b0af062ae5fecf7b3676c2f7aeed"}], "title": "SUNRPC: Zero rpc_gss_wire_cred at svcauth_gss_decode_credbody() entry", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
