Description

The openUBMC device-management process parses PLDM-over-MCTP and NCSI-over-MCTP responses from on-bus devices, and three response parsers in the shared transport libraries subtract a fixed header or reserved-field size from a device-supplied response length without a lower-bound check. An undersized response wraps the unsigned length difference to a very large value, and the parser then reads far past the response buffer. The affected code sits in the base (non-vendor) PLDM control class and the Huawei NCSI driver, so it is reachable for any PLDM endpoint or Huawei NIC on the internal management bus, unlike the vendor-specific wangxun parser tracked separately.

Executive Summary

The vulnerability involves the openUBMC device-management process parsing PLDM-over-MCTP and NCSI-over-MCTP responses. Three response parsers subtract a fixed header size from a device-supplied response length without checking if the result is negative. This can cause an undersized response to wrap to a very large value, leading to buffer overflow as the parser reads beyond the intended data.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability may allow an attacker on the internal management bus to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code on the affected system by sending maliciously crafted responses to the openUBMC device-management process.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the openUBMC device-management process and shared transport libraries to include lower-bound checks for response lengths. Ensure all PLDM and NCSI parsers validate device-supplied response sizes before processing.
