Routine
MEDIUM 6.7MITIGATEMITIGATEMITIGATE
CVE-2023-28577 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.7) affecting fastconnect 6800 firmware, fastconnect 6900 firmware, fastconnect 7800 firmware. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
In the function call related to CAM_REQ_MGR_RELEASE_BUF there is no check if the buffer is being used. So when a function called cam_mem_get_cpu_buf to get the kernel va to use, another thread can call CAM_REQ_MGR_RELEASE_BUF to unmap the kernel va which cause UAF of the kernel address.
