Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/microcode/AMD: Fix out-of-bounds on systems with CPU-less NUMA nodes Currently, load_microcode_amd() iterates over all NUMA nodes, retrieves their CPU masks and unconditionally accesses per-CPU data for the first CPU of each mask. According to Documentation/admin-guide/mm/numaperf.rst: "Some memory may share the same node as a CPU, and others are provided as memory only nodes." Therefore, some node CPU masks may be empty and wouldn't have a "first CPU". On a machine with far memory (and therefore CPU-less NUMA nodes): - cpumask_of_node(nid) is 0 - cpumask_first(0) is CONFIG_NR_CPUS - cpu_data(CONFIG_NR_CPUS) accesses the cpu_info per-CPU array at an index that is 1 out of bounds This does not have any security implications since flashing microcode is a privileged operation but I believe this has reliability implications by potentially corrupting memory while flashing a microcode update. When booting with CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS=y on an AMD machine that flashes a microcode update. I get the following splat: UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/amd.c:X:Y index 512 is out of range for type 'unsigned long[512]' [...] Call Trace: dump_stack __ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds load_microcode_amd request_microcode_amd reload_store kernfs_fop_write_iter vfs_write ksys_write do_syscall_64 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe Change the loop to go over only NUMA nodes which have CPUs before determining whether the first CPU on the respective node needs microcode update.

Actualmente, load_microcode_amd() itera sobre todos los nodos NUMA, recupera sus m\u00e1scaras de CPU y accede incondicionalmente a los datos por CPU para la primera CPU de cada m\u00e1scara. Seg\u00fan Documentation/admin-guide/mm/numaperf.rst: \"Algunas memorias pueden compartir el mismo nodo que una CPU, mientras que otras se proporcionan como nodos de solo memoria\".

En una m\u00e1quina con memoria extensa (y, por lo tanto, nodos NUMA sin CPU): - cpumask_of_node(nid) es 0 - cpumask_first(0) es CONFIG_NR_CPUS - cpu_data(CONFIG_NR_CPUS) accede a la matriz por CPU cpu_info en un \u00edndice que es 1 fuera de los l\u00edmites.
