Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] cxl/features: Bounds-check the fwctl feature commands
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 18:40:59 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626104102.53892-1-icheng@nvidia.com> (raw)
The CXL fwctl feature handlers take buffer sizes from userspace, which is
out_len, and from the device without fully checking them. This series
adds the missing bounds checks.
Patch 1: reject a Get Feature whose count is larger than the output
buffer.
Patch 2: reject a Set Feature whose output buffer is too small for the
reply header. A zero out_len makes kvzalloc() return
ZERO_SIZE_PTR, and the header write then corrupts memory.
Patch 3: clamp the Get Feature read loop to the room left in the output
buffer, so a device that returns more than requested cannot
write past it.
A related gap is fixed separately by Zhenhao Wan's patch [1].
Changes since v2:
- Expand the single Get Feature fix into a series that also covers
the Set Feature output buffer and the Get Feature read loop.
