[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but while looking at this function,
I noticed a potential integer overflow when calculating the response length:
drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c:scsi_report_lun_scan() {
...
if (get_unaligned_be32(lun_data->scsi_lun) +
sizeof(struct scsi_lun) > length) {
length = get_unaligned_be32(lun_data->scsi_lun) +
sizeof(struct scsi_lun);
kfree(lun_data);
goto retry;
}
...
}
If a malicious or malformed device returns a large value like 0xFFFFFFFF
in the first 4 bytes of its response, can the addition of
sizeof(struct scsi_lun) overflow?
On 64-bit systems, would this addition yield a 64-bit value that bypasses
the greater-than length check, but then truncate when assigned back to the
32-bit unsigned int length variable? Could this cause an infinite retry
loop or an invalid pointer dereference if it truncates to zero?
On 32-bit systems, could the addition directly overflow to a small value,
fail the greater-than length check, and proceed to parse out-of-bounds luns
from the initially allocated buffer?
