Subject: [PATCH v2 4/8] NFSD: Reject an oversized principal hash from nfsdcld
Date: Tue, 01 Sep 2026 16:19:44 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901-alemi-v2-4-e163f94a3a6e@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901-alemi-v2-0-e163f94a3a6e@kernel.org>

__cld_pipe_inprogress_downcall() takes the principal hash length
from the daemon's GraceStart downcall without checking it against
the cc_princhash payload it describes, which holds at most
SHA256_DIGEST_SIZE bytes. The length is stored verbatim in the
reclaim record, and nfsd4_cld_check_v2() later hands it to memcmp()
against a digest array of SHA256_DIGEST_SIZE bytes on the stack. A
length up to U8_MAX reads past the end of that array, and the stray
bytes can only make the comparison fail, denying the client its
reclaim. The pipe is mode 0600 in rpc_pipefs, so the trigger is a
broken or hostile nfsdcld rather than an unprivileged task.

Reject a length larger than the wire field, as the existing check
on the client name length does.

Fixes: 6ee95d1c8991 ("nfsd: add support for upcall version 2")
