Subject: [PATCH] scsi: ibmvfc: fix OOB access in ibmvfc_discover_targets_done()
Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 12:01:50 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260314170151.548614-1-LivelyCarpet87@gmail.com> (raw)

A malicious or compromised VIO server can return a num_written value in
the discover targets MAD response that exceeds max_targets. This value
is stored directly in vhost->num_targets without validation, and is then
used as the loop bound in ibmvfc_alloc_targets() to index into disc_buf[],
which is only allocated for max_targets entries. Indices at or beyond
max_targets access kernel memory outside the DMA-coherent allocation.
The out-of-bounds data is subsequently embedded in Implicit Logout and
PLOGI MADs that are sent back to the VIO server, leaking kernel memory.

Fix by clamping num_written to max_targets before storing it.
