Subject: [PATCH 0/2] scsi: lpfc: bound EDC descriptor TLV walk
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 22:29:30 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710022932.3741311-1-michael.bommarito@gmail.com> (raw)
An adjacent Fibre Channel fabric peer or device can crash an LPFC host
with a malformed EDC ELS frame. lpfc_els_rcv_edc() trusts the EDC
descriptor-list length from the received frame without checking that it
fits in the actual ELS payload, so a short frame with an oversized
descriptor-list length walks the TLV list past the receive buffer and
trips a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read in the ELS receive path.
Patch 1 passes the received payload length into lpfc_els_rcv_edc(),
rejects truncated EDC headers and descriptor lists larger than the
payload, and avoids logging a third payload word unless it is present.
Patch 2 adds same-translation-unit KUnit/KASAN coverage: a benign EDC
frame that must still parse and the malformed frame that must now be
rejected.
Reproduced with the KUnit/KASAN test on f5459048c38a: stock trips
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in lpfc_els_rcv_edc after the benign
control passes; patched rejects the frame and both cases pass.
