[PATCH 0/2] board: xilinx: Fix board name overflow and allow board ft_board_setup()

[PATCH 0/2] board: xilinx: Fix board name overflow and allow board ft_board_setup()

[Sriram Sriram]

Two independent fixes to the xilinx vendor common board file, both found
while bringing a downstream Versal NET board up to date with mainline.

Patch 1 fixes a heap buffer overflow in board_name_decode(). The name is
built with strcat() into a 50 byte allocation, and the length check that
is supposed to catch the overflow only runs after the writes. Each EEPROM
descriptor can contribute up to 29 characters, so a base board plus a
carrier card already overruns the buffer with EEPROM-supplied data.

Patch 2 marks ft_board_setup() __weak so that a board using the xilinx
vendor common library can supply its own device tree fixups, the same way
the file already allows board_name_decode(), board_detection(),
soc_detection() and board_rng_seed() to be overridden. Today such a board
fails to link with "multiple definition of ft_board_setup".

Both patches were build tested on xilinx_zynqmp_kria_defconfig, which
enables CONFIG_DTB_RESELECT and CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP and so compiles
both of the changed functions.

[PATCH 1/2] board: xilinx: Use strlcat() in board_name_decode()

[Sriram Sriram]

From: Drew Kluemke <ankluemk@microsoft.com>

board_name_decode() assembles the board name into a calloc'd buffer of
MAX_NAME_LENGTH (50) bytes using strcat(). It appends CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
and then, for every detected EEPROM descriptor, "-", desc->name (up to
16 characters), "-rev" and desc->revision (up to 8 characters).

The length check runs only after the loop, so it cannot prevent the
overflow it documents. Each descriptor contributes up to 29 characters,
so a base board plus a carrier card already exceeds the buffer, and the
data being concatenated comes from the EEPROM.

Use strlcat() bounded to MAX_NAME_LENGTH so the writes are truncated
rather than overflowing the allocation. Truncation leaves a string of
MAX_NAME_LENGTH - 1 characters, so relax the check accordingly;
as written it could never fire once strlcat() is used.

RE: [PATCH 1/2] board: xilinx: Use strlcat() in board_name_decode()

[Maarten Brock]

Hello Sriram and Drew,

It seems to me that the limit of 50 for MAX_NAME_LENGTH is pretty arbitrary.
If you expect it to easily overflow, why not make that larger as well?

Kind regards,
Maarten Brock

do you have a case where your board, carrier cards will require more then 50 
chars? This has been designed for Kria SOM where you have name in board eeprom 
and carrier card eeprom and it is never over 50 chars.

I actually got a path (c&p below) for the same issue some days ago internally 
and also reviewed it already. But unfortunately it wasn't sent out yet.
The difference is that it is checking len at the end of every loop to get out of 
it earlier.

Thanks,
Michal

      board: xilinx: Fix heap buffer overflow in board_name_decode()

      board_name_decode() builds the board name by repeatedly appending
      to a fixed MAX_NAME_LENGTH (50-byte) buffer with strcat(), and only
      checks for overflow once, after the entire loop over all detected
      nvmemX EEPROM devices has completed. If enough devices are present
      and their name/revision fields are long enough, strcat() can write
      past the end of the buffer before the overflow check is reached,
      resulting in heap memory corruption.

      Fix this by using strlcat() instead, which bounds every write to
      the destination buffer size and prevents overrunning the allocation.
      Use its return value to detect truncation during board name
      construction instead of relying on a single length check after all
      EEPROM devices have been processed.

reselection")

No, I do not. I was just following the logic in the patch comments.

To me this indicates it is very easy to overflow the buffer.

I have not followed where the result of board_name_decode() goes
and whether 50 is a logical bound there. But since it is locally defined
without any comments it seems an arbitrary choice.

And if both these assumptions are true (expect overflow and arbitrary bound)
then it is probably a good idea to use a larger bound.

I would prefer the patch from Pranav Tilak which doesn't need an extra strlen() call.

It is used for DTB reselection to described current board setup.
If you look at arch/arm/dts/zynqmp-binman-*
the maximum amount of chars used is 37. There is still 13 chars left.

Code is prepared for covering board, carrier cards but also extension cards like 
FMCs by simply pointing via nvmem alias to whatever EEPROM in the system. I am 
not saying we would need more space but as of today I am not aware about any 
usecase which requires more. In any case if something hit that limit panic is 
thrown and we can extend it but extending it just in case make little sense to me.

[PATCH 2/2] board: xilinx: Make ft_board_setup() weak

[Sriram Sriram]

board/xilinx/common/board.c is linked into every board that uses the
xilinx vendor common library, so the strong ft_board_setup() defined
here prevents an individual board from applying its own device tree
fixups: adding ft_board_setup() to the board file fails to link with
"multiple definition of ft_board_setup".

Mark it __weak, which is the mechanism this file already uses for its
other board hooks - board_name_decode(), board_detection(),
soc_detection() and board_rng_seed(). No other weak definition of
ft_board_setup() exists in the tree, so boards without an override keep
linking this implementation and symbol resolution stays unambiguous.
