Subject: [PATCH net] bonding: fix out-of-bounds read of arp_ip_target
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 18:45:27 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023104528.232427-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
arp_ip_target is a module parameter array with BOND_MAX_ARP_TARGETS
entries. In the loop parsing it in bond_check_params(), arp_ip_count is
the number of accepted targets, while i is the index into
arp_ip_target. Invalid and duplicate entries are skipped without
bumping arp_ip_count, so bounding the loop with arp_ip_count lets i run
past the end of arp_ip_target, e.g. 16 targets with one duplicate:
BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in bond_check_params.constprop.0+0x1148/0x1440
Read of size 8 at addr ffffffff96e9ee00 by task swapper/0/1
Call Trace:

</TASK>
The buggy address belongs to the variable:
arp_ip_target+0x80/0xa0
Bound the loop with i instead. arp_ip_count never exceeds i, so it
stays within BOND_MAX_ARP_TARGETS too.
Fixes: 5a5c5fd48e3b ("bonding: arp_ip_count and arp_targets can be wrong")
