Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix heap-buffer-overflow in sample group match
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2026 10:44:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260315084404.94506-1-shperetz@nvidia.com> (raw)
The cached group match callback compares serialized actions
using memcmp with the size of the new actions buffer.
When the new actions serialize to a larger buffer than an existing
cached entry, memcmp reads past the cached entry's heap allocation,
causing a heap-buffer-overflow detected by AddressSanitizer.
Add a size comparison before the memcmp so that entries with
different serialized sizes are rejected as non-matching immediately,
avoiding the out-of-bounds read.
Fixes: d986f04d6529 ("net/mlx5: add functions for non-template flow sample")
