Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.15 032/110] drm/amdgpu: Add basic validation for RAS header
Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2025 19:23:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250601232435.3507697-32-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250601232435.3507697-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Lijo Lazar <lijo.lazar@amd.com>
[ Upstream commit 5df0d6addb7e9b6f71f7162d1253762a5be9138e ]
If RAS header read from EEPROM is corrupted, it could result in trying
to allocate huge memory for reading the records. Add some validation to
header fields.

Based on my analysis, here is my assessment: **YES** This commit should
be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ##
Security Vulnerability Analysis **Critical Memory Allocation
Vulnerability:** The commit fixes a serious security vulnerability where
corrupted RAS (Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability) EEPROM
header data could cause huge memory allocations. In
`/home/sasha/linux/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ras.c:3011`, the
code performs: ```c bps = kcalloc(control->ras_num_recs, sizeof(*bps),
GFP_KERNEL); ``` **Before the fix:** If `control->ras_num_recs` contains
a corrupted large value (e.g., 0xFFFFFFFF), this would attempt to
allocate `0xFFFFFFFF 0001-Fix-Clippy-warnings.patch 0002-Enhance-
inference-prompt-to-utilize-CVEKERNELDIR-whe.patch 0003-Update-to-

bytes` = ~96GB of memory, likely causing: 1. System memory exhaustion 2.
Denial of service 3. Potential system crash/instability ## Code Changes
Analysis **1. Version Validation Enhancement:** The fix replaces a
simple `if/else` with a robust `switch` statement: ```c // Before: Only
checked for version >= V2_1 if (hdr->version >= RAS_TABLE_VER_V2_1) { //
After: Explicit validation of known versions switch (hdr->version) {
case RAS_TABLE_VER_V2_1: case RAS_TABLE_VER_V3: // Future-proofing //
V2.1+ handling break; case RAS_TABLE_VER_V1: // V1 handling break;
default: dev_err(adev->dev, "RAS header invalid, unsupported version:
%u", hdr->version); return -EINVAL; } ``` **2. Record Count Bounds
Checking:** Critical addition of bounds validation: ```c if
(control->ras_num_recs > control->ras_max_record_count) {
dev_err(adev->dev, "RAS header invalid, records in header: %u max
allowed :%u", control->ras_num_recs, control->ras_max_record_count);
return -EINVAL; } ``` This prevents the memory allocation attack by
ensuring `ras_num_recs` cannot exceed reasonable bounds. ## Stable Tree
Criteria Assessment ✅ **Fixes important security bug:** Prevents DoS via
memory exhaustion ✅ **Small and contained:** Only adds validation logic,
no functional changes ✅ **Clear side effects:** None - only adds error
checking ✅ **No architectural changes:** Pure validation enhancement ✅
**Touches critical subsystem:** Graphics driver reliability/security ✅
**Minimal regression risk:** Only adds stricter validation ## Comparison
with Historical Patterns Looking at the provided similar commits (all
marked "NO"), they were architectural refactoring changes that: - Split
functions (`ras_eeprom_init into init and check functions`) - Added new
infrastructure (`Hook EEPROM table to RAS`) - Wrapped function calls
(`RAS xfer to read/write`) - Added entirely new features (`Add RAS
EEPROM table`) In contrast, this commit is a **security hardening fix**
that adds essential input validation to prevent memory exhaustion
attacks. ## Impact Assessment **Risk if NOT backported:** - Systems with
AMD GPUs vulnerable to DoS attacks via corrupted EEPROM data - Potential
for system instability when corrupted data triggers massive allocations
- Security exposure in enterprise/server environments using AMD GPUs
**Risk if backported:** - Minimal: Only adds validation, existing
correct data will continue to work - Possible rejection of previously
accepted (but actually corrupted) EEPROM data - this is desired behavior
This fix addresses a clear security vulnerability with minimal code
changes and should definitely be backported to stable trees to protect
users from memory exhaustion attacks via corrupted RAS EEPROM headers.
