# UNDF: UNDF-2026-000000144 # linux: CWE-407 deeper scan — net/core, kernel/ CLEAN ## Subsystems scanned | Subsystem | Files | Verdict | |-----------|-------|---------| | `net/core/dev.c` | for_each_netdev, adjacency lists | CLEAN | | `net/core/fib_rules.c` | rule_find, rule_exists, list_for_each_entry | CLEAN | | `net/core/sock.c` | proto_register, assign_proto_idx | CLEAN | | `kernel/groups.c` | groups_search, supplementary GIDs | CLEAN | | `kernel/user_namespace.c` | mappings_overlap, uid/gid extents | BOUNDED | | `kernel/sched/topology.c` | find_pd, for_each_cpu perf domains | CLEAN | | `kernel/sched/core.c` | for_each_cpu + smt_mask, cpumask_andnot | CLEAN | | `kernel/workqueue.c` | for_each_pwq, for_each_pool | CLEAN | | `kernel/notifier.c` | raw_notifier_call_chain | CLEAN | ## Notes ### net/core/dev.c — `__dev_alloc_name` Outer `for_each_netdev` with inner `netdev_for_each_altname` scans a bitmap of used slots — sets a bit per slot using `bitmap_zalloc(max_netdevices)`. Not a membership test inside a growing list; the bitmap is reset fresh each call. CLEAN. ### net/core/fib_rules.c — `rule_find`, `rule_exists` Both do a single sequential pass over `ops->rules_list`. The three sequential passes in `fib_nl_newrule` (ctarget scan, pref-order scan, unresolved-rules update) are not nested — each is O(R) standalone. CLEAN. ### kernel/user_namespace.c — `mappings_overlap` Called in outer loop over lines in the UID/GID map file; inner loop checks overlap against already-accepted extents. **Technically O(E²)** but bounded by `UID_GID_MAP_MAX_EXTENTS = 340`. Peak: 340² = 115,600 comparisons on one `write()` call. Not network-facing; attacker must have a user namespace. Below threshold for a new defect ticket; noted here for completeness. ### kernel/sched/topology.c — `find_pd` `find_pd()` walks a short linked list of `perf_domain` objects (O(P), where P = number of distinct CPU performance domains — typically 1–4 on real hardware) inside `for_each_cpu(i, cpu_map)`. Worst case O(C×P) but P is structurally bounded by hardware topology, not attacker-controlled. CLEAN. ### net/ipv4/, fs/, mm/ — NOT IN SPARSE CLONE The sparse clone does not include `net/ipv4/`, `fs/`, or `mm/`. Those subsystems require a fresh clone or broader sparse-checkout configuration. ## Conclusion No new CWE-407 defects found in the scanned kernel subsystems beyond linux-0001..0008. The sparse clone limits further scanning of `net/ipv4/`, `fs/`, and `mm/`.
