Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] Fix unwanted memory overwrites
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2025 09:56:18 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251010135623.1723-1-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
<rtm@csail.mit.edu> reported some memory overwrites that can be
triggered by NFS client input. I was able to observe overwrites
by enabling KASAN and running his reproducer [1].
NFSD caches COMPOUNDs containing only a single SEQUENCE operation
whether the client requests it to or not, in order to work around a
quirk in the NFSv4.1 protocol. However, the predicate that
identifies solo SEQUENCE operations was incorrect.
Changes since v2:
* Never cache a COMPOUND if SEQUENCE fails
* Enable caching of solo SEQUENCE operations again
* Reserve enough slot replay cache space to cache solo SEQUENCE
Changes since v1:
* Reordered patches
* Disable caching of solo SEQUENCE operations
* Additional clean up
Chuck Lever (5):
NFSD: Skip close replay processing if XDR encoding fails
NFSD: Fix the "is this a solo SEQUENCE" predicate
nfsd: Never cache a COMPOUND when the SEQUENCE operation fails
NFSD: Increase minimum size of slot replay cache
NFSD: Move nfsd4_cache_this()
