Subject: [PATCH v3] scsi: target: iscsi: reject invalid size Extended CDB AHS
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 21:07:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415040728.187680-1-carlos.bilbao@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <yq1cy02tgum.fsf@ca-mkp.ca.oracle.com>
From: Carlos Bilbao <carlos.bilbao@kernel.org>
If ecdb_ahdr->ahslength is zero, two bugs follow:
kmalloc(be16_to_cpu(ecdb_ahdr->ahslength) + 15, ...)
allocates 15 bytes, but the immediately following memcpy writes
ISCSI_CDB_SIZE (16) bytes into it, a one-byte heap overflow. Also:
memcpy(cdb + ISCSI_CDB_SIZE, ecdb_ahdr->ecdb,
be16_to_cpu(ecdb_ahdr->ahslength) - 1);
(u16)0 - 1 promotes to (int)-1 which converts to SIZE_MAX as size_t,
causing a massive out-of-bounds write.
Reject ahslength == 0 with ISCSI_REASON_PROTOCOL_ERROR before the kmalloc.
Also reject ahslength values that exceed the actual AHS buffer advertised.
Fixes: 8f1f7d297bce ("scsi: target: iscsi: Add support for extended CDB AHS")
Signed-off-by: Carlos Bilbao (Lambda) <carlos.bilbao@kernel.org>
Reviewed-by: Dmitry Bogdanov <d.bogdanov@yadro.com>
Changes in v3:
- Move ahslength and cdb_length declarations to function scope following
the reverse christmas tree ordering of existing locals.
Changes in v2:
- Add bounds check: ahslength must not exceed (hdr->hlength * 4) - 3.
- Replace opaque ahslength + 15 with explicit cdb_length variable.
