Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/rxe: bound the ODP page index against the umem in rxe_check_pagefault()
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 02:51:45 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930175145.2491352-1-ays511.kr@gmail.com> (raw)
An ODP MR's page array map.pfn_list[] is sized from the umem's
start, but rxe_check_pagefault() indexes it with an iova taken
relative to that start, while the access was range-checked against
the MR's iova (ibmr.iova). reg_mr only requires start and hca_va to
share a page offset, so a user can register with hca_va =
start + N*PAGE, and the index skew (hca_va - start) >> PAGE_SHIFT
then lands out of bounds of pfn_list[], which is read with no bound
check. An unprivileged local user reaches this with a single RDMA
operation on a self-connected rxe QP: observed as a KASAN
slab-out-of-bounds read and, when the out-of-bounds qword looks like
a writable HMM pfn, a write into an attacker-influenced page.
Reject an index that leaves the umem and force the fault path, which
fails the out-of-range access via the umem range check in
ib_umem_odp_map_dma_and_lock(). The downstream pfn_list[] users
(__rxe_odp_mr_copy() and the atomic helpers) run only after a
successful map, so this check protects them as well.

Notes (not part of the commit):
Reproduced on a KASAN x86-64 build of 7.3-rc4 as uid 1000; the data-only write
primitive was used to reach uid 0 on a fully hardened build.
drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/ is unchanged between 7.3-rc4 (93f51579e7df) and
mainline 551c722f4080 (2026-09-29) and rdma for-next, so both are affected.
Compile-tested (KASAN+RDMA_RXE), not runtime-tested. Found through AI-assisted
review; per Documentation/process/security-bugs.rst this is public and a
reproducer can be shared on request. A maintainer may prefer to also index
relative to ibmr.iova (as the non-ODP rxe_mr_iova_to_index() does) so
legitimately skewed MRs keep working; this patch takes the minimal, safe route.
