Subject: [PATCH v2 5/9] nfsd: widen nfsd_genl_rqstp address fields to sockaddr_storage
Date: Tue, 02 Jun 2026 12:23:17 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260602-nfsd-testing-v2-5-e4ea62e3cd5c@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260602-nfsd-testing-v2-0-e4ea62e3cd5c@kernel.org>
struct nfsd_genl_rqstp declares rq_daddr and rq_saddr as plain
"struct sockaddr" (16 bytes). When an IPv6 NFS client is connected,
nfsd_genl_rpc_status_compose_msg() casts these fields to
"struct sockaddr_in6 *" (28 bytes) and reads sin6_addr at offset 8..24,
which extends 8 bytes past the end of the 16-byte sockaddr field into
the adjacent rq_flags member. The 16-byte nla_put_in6_addr then ships 8
bytes of truncated IPv6 address followed by 8 bytes of rq_flags to
userspace via the NFSD_A_RPC_STATUS_SADDR6/DADDR6 netlink attributes.
This is reachable by any unprivileged process in the network namespace
because NFSD_CMD_RPC_STATUS_GET uses GENL_CMD_CAP_DUMP without
GENL_ADMIN_PERM.
Fix by widening rq_daddr and rq_saddr to struct sockaddr_storage so the
IPv6 casts operate within bounds, copying sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
bytes in the memcpy calls so the full address is captured, and
zero-initializing the genl_rqstp stack variable to prevent leaking
uninitialized tail bytes through netlink.
Fixes: bd9d6a3efa97 ("NFSD: add rpc_status netlink support")
