Subject: [PATCH v2] cxl/hdm: Fix out of bounds read of the decoder target list
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 14:10:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812061017.56916-1-kanie@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

init_hdm_decoder() reads the HDM Decoder Target List register of a switch
or host bridge decoder into an 8 byte on-stack image and copies
cxld->interleave_ways bytes of it into cxld->target_map, with nothing
bounding the count against the 8 target port IDs the register can hold.
cxl_port_setup_targets(), which programs the same field from the region
side, refuses the configuration up front with 'iw > 8 || iw > nr_targets';
the enumeration path has no equivalent gate.

Values above 8 are legal hardware encodings, not corruption.
interleave_ways comes from the 4-bit Interleave Ways field of the decoder
control register through eiw_to_ways(), which returns 16 for eiw 4 and 12
for eiw 10, and the driver accepts whatever firmware left programmed there
before it enumerated the decoder.

The copy loop therefore reads up to 8 bytes past the union, and the stack
residue is stored into target_map as target port IDs. Those IDs are matched
against the port's dports by find_dport() when the decoder's targets are
populated, so a byte that happens to match an unrelated dport's port_id
installs that dport into cxlsd->target[].

Reject the decoder, which is how the eiw_to_ways() and eig_to_granularity()
failures in the same function are already handled. A decoder whose target
list register cannot describe its own interleave is not a configuration a
region can be attached to.

This was patch 5/8 of the "cxl: Assorted fixes" series [1]. Per review
feedback that series is not being reworked as a whole; the fixes are resent
individually instead. Patches 1, 2 and 7 of the series are dropped, as those
issues are already fixed in cxl/next.

v1->v2:
- rebase onto cxl/next
- rewrite the commit message to describe the behaviour rather than narrate
  the code change (Alison Schofield)
