Subject: [PATCH 2/4] SUNRPC: harden gss_unwrap_resp_priv length checks
Date: Sat, 23 May 2026 21:02:11 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260524010213.557424-3-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260524010213.557424-1-cel@kernel.org>

From: Chris Mason <clm@meta.com>

gss_unwrap_resp_priv() validates the RPCSEC_GSS opaque length with

    offset = (u8 *)(p) - (u8 *)head->iov_base;
    if (offset + opaque_len > rcv_buf->len)
            goto unwrap_failed;
    maj_stat = gss_unwrap(ctx->gc_gss_ctx, offset,
                          offset + opaque_len, rcv_buf);

Both operands are u32 and the sum is computed in u32. A reply with
opaque_len near 0xffffffff makes offset + opaque_len wrap to a small
value that is below rcv_buf->len, so the bound check passes and
gss_unwrap() is called with end < begin. The check also lacks a
lower bound, so any opaque_len in [0, GSS_KRB5_TOK_HDR_LEN) is
accepted and forwarded to gss_krb5_unwrap_v2(), whose pre-decrypt
header reads at ptr+4 and ptr+6 then run past the token.

A krb5p NFS server returning a crafted RPCSEC_GSS reply can drive
the client into out-of-bounds reads in gss_krb5_unwrap_v2() and the
rotate_left() loop that follows.

Fix by replacing the single combined check with three guards that
are safe in u32 arithmetic and that enforce the RFC 4121 minimum
outer token length:

    if (offset > rcv_buf->len)
            goto unwrap_failed;
    if (opaque_len > rcv_buf->len - offset)
            goto unwrap_failed;
    if (opaque_len < GSS_KRB5_TOK_HDR_LEN)
            goto unwrap_failed;

The first guard makes the subtraction in the second guard
unconditionally safe; offset is derived from a successful
xdr_inline_decode() in the head kvec, so in practice it already
satisfies the bound. The floor mirrors the server-side check added
in commit 7507012eeb98 ("SUNRPC: svcauth_gss: enforce krb5 token
minimum length").
