Subject: [PATCH v2] RDMA/rxe: validate inline sge_offset in finish_packet() before indexing inline_data[]
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 00:24:33 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001152433.3259573-1-ays511.kr@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930182216.2510953-1-ays511.kr@gmail.com>
For a user QP, rxe_post_send() takes the qp->is_user branch and
never runs init_send_wqe(), so
dma.length/resid/num_sge/cur_sge/sge_offset all come straight from
the mmap'd SQ ring. In the inline send path finish_packet() uses
sge_offset directly as an index:
u8 *tmp = &wqe->dma.inline_data[wqe->dma.sge_offset];
memcpy(payload_addr(pkt), tmp, payload);
inline_data is a flex array whose capacity is qp->sq.max_inline, but
sge_offset is a u32 from user space, so the source pointer is
displaced arbitrarily past the WQE and the memcpy reads out of
bounds.
commit 126c757e4cd4 ("RDMA/rxe: Validate num_sge/cur_sge before indexing wqe->dma.sge[]")
added num_sge/cur_sge checks on the send path but not sge_offset, the
third attacker-controlled index in the same struct.
Read sge_offset once with READ_ONCE() and bound it (and the payload
that follows it) by qp->sq.max_inline before indexing, so the value
that is validated is the value that is used.
Fixes: 8700e3e7c485 ("Soft RoCE driver")

Notes (not part of the commit):
Reproduced on 7.3-rc4 as uid 1000: "BUG: unable to handle page fault ...
memcpy+0xc/0x30" from rxe_requester, 4/4. Present unchanged in mainline
551c722f4080 (2026-09-29) and rdma for-next. Compile-tested (KASAN+RDMA_RXE),
not runtime-tested. Found through manual review; per security-bugs.rst this is
public and a reproducer can be shared on request.
v2: the WQE lives in the mmap'd ring, so read dma.sge_offset once with
READ_ONCE() into a local and validate/index that local, closing the TOCTOU
noted in automated review (v1 re-read the field after the bounds check).
