Summary The NPU device’s kernel driver implements a set of ioctl handlers one of which uses unsanitized user data as an offset to retrieve a kernel structure. Fields of the structure are written with user provided values. A malicious actor can use this vulnerability to overwrite kernel memory with controlled data. The mmap handler is exposed through the /dev/davinci0 character device. Due to the applied selinux policy, access to this device is restricted to the hiaiserver system process. Because of these limitations a practical attack would need to target the hiaiserver first. The /dev/davinci0 device exposes a series of ioctl handlers, one of which is devdrv_ioctl_load_stream_buff.
