Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y] smb: smbdirect: fix buffer length underflow in RDMA
transfers
[ Upstream commit 7193241a49c958782ba4b8df06da3734d1e317d2 ]
When a remote buffer descriptor is larger than the remaining local
buffer, smbdirect_connection_rdma_xmit() clamps its length and sets
buf_len to zero. The common accounting code then subtracts the clamped
length from buf_len, causing it to underflow. If another descriptor
follows, the loop processes it with a wrapped remaining length and
includes memory beyond the local buffer in the RDMA transfer.
A client can trigger an out-of-bounds kernel write with an SMB WRITE
request, or an out-of-bounds kernel read with an SMB READ request, by
supplying multiple RDMA buffer descriptors with an oversized descriptor
before the last one.
Remove the premature assignment to buf_len. Subtracting the clamped length
already consumes the remaining buffer, so the next iteration stops and
only descriptors within the local buffer are used to build work requests.
Fixes: e628bf939aaf ("ksmbd: reduce descriptor size if remaining bytes is less than request size")
