Subject: Re: [PATCH v6 2/2] s390/zcrypt: Improve EP11 CPRB length and overflow checks
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 08:45:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260727084532.6AF0A1F000E9@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260727083200.151976-3-freude@linux.ibm.com>
> The xcrb_msg_to_type6_ep11cprb_msgx() function lacks proper input
> validation, creating security vulnerabilities:
> 1. Missing minimum size validation: The ep11_cprb structure and
> subsequent payload fields (pld_tag, pld_lenfmt) are copied from
> userspace without verifying sufficient buffer length.
> 2. Arithmetic overflow in length calculations: CEIL4 alignment could
> overflow, bypassing size checks and enabling buffer overflows.
> 3. There was a gap between the message size copied from user space and
> the message buffer sent down to the card. The msg buffer size is
> rounded up to 4 byte boundary.
>
> Fix by using size_t for length calculations, adding U32_MAX boundary
> checks after alignment, and validating minimum request size and
> minimum reply size before copying from userspace. Also pad the gap
> between user space copied message and message buffer sent down to the
> card by zeros.
