resp_report_zones() only rejects a REPORT ZONES(16) CDB when the
requested allocation length (cmd[10..13], SBC/ZBC "ALLOCATION LENGTH")
is exactly zero:
alloc_len = get_unaligned_be32(cmd + 10);
if (alloc_len == 0)
return 0; /* not an error */
...
rep_max_zones = (alloc_len - 64) >> ilog2(RZONES_DESC_HD);
arr = kzalloc(alloc_len, GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN);
...
desc = arr + 64;
For any nonzero alloc_len in the range 1..63, `alloc_len - 64`
underflows (alloc_len and rep_max_zones are unsigned), turning
rep_max_zones into a huge value (~2^25 for typical small alloc_len).
Meanwhile arr is allocated with the raw, unvalidated alloc_len, so it
can be smaller than the 64-byte report header. desc is then set to
arr + 64, which already points past the end of the (too small)
allocation, and the per-zone descriptor loop:
if (nrz < rep_max_zones) {
desc[0] = zsp->z_type;
...
put_unaligned_be64((u64)zsp->z_wp, desc + 24);
desc += 64;
}
keeps writing 64-byte zone descriptors starting at that out-of-bounds
pointer and marching forward, because the inflated rep_max_zones no
longer bounds anything. A local CAP_SYS_RAWIO attacker who loads
scsi_debug in zoned mode (zbc=host-managed) and sends a REPORT ZONES
CDB with e.g. alloc_len=32 via SG_IO triggers a heap
slab-out-of-bounds write, confirmed under KASAN
("slab-out-of-bounds in resp_report_zones", writes landing at
arr+64, arr+128, ... i.e. exactly the desc[0]/desc[1]/
put_unaligned_be64(desc+8/16/24) sequence, stepping by 64 bytes per
iteration).
Every other REPORT-style/allocation-length-consuming handler in this
file floors alloc_len against its own header/descriptor size before
using it, e.g.:
resp_report_tgtpgs(): if (alloc_len < 4 || alloc_len > 0xffff) ...
resp_readcap16(): if (alloc_len < 24) return 0;
resp_get_stream_status(): if (alloc_len < 8) { ... }
resp_report_luns(): if (alloc_len < 4) { ... }
resp_report_zones() is missing the equivalent floor. Since the report
header itself is RZONES_DESC_HD (64) bytes, alloc_len must be at
least that before rep_max_zones is computed and before desc is walked
past the header. Add that check, rejecting an under-sized allocation
length the same way resp_get_stream_status() rejects an under-sized
one for the identical cmd[10..13] field (SDEB_IN_CDB, field offset
10) via mk_sense_invalid_fld() + check_condition_result. alloc_len==0
keeps its existing "not an error, nothing to report" fast path.
This bounds both the underflowing subtraction and the kzalloc() size
against the 64-byte header the function unconditionally writes,
without touching the per-zone descriptor loop itself.
Verified on a v6.19 KASAN build: issuing REPORT ZONES(16) via SG_IO
with alloc_len=32 against a scsi_debug zbc=host-managed device hits
the slab-out-of-bounds write in resp_report_zones() before this
patch, and the same command no longer triggers a KASAN report once
the floor check above is applied.

resp_report_zones() reads the REPORT ZONES(16) ALLOCATION LENGTH field
(cmd[10..13]) into the unsigned alloc_len and, apart from the
alloc_len == 0 fast path, uses it without flooring it against the
64-byte report header:
rep_max_zones = (alloc_len - 64) >> ilog2(RZONES_DESC_HD);
arr = kzalloc(alloc_len, GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN);
...
desc = arr + 64;
For any alloc_len in the range 1..63, alloc_len - 64 wraps around
(alloc_len and rep_max_zones are unsigned), so rep_max_zones becomes a
huge value instead of zero. At the same time arr is allocated with the
raw alloc_len, which is smaller than the 64-byte header the function
always builds, and desc is set to arr + 64, already past the end of the
allocation. The report header stores (put_unaligned_be32 at arr+0,
put_unaligned_be64 at arr+8 and arr+16) can then run past a sub-24-byte
buffer, and the per-zone descriptor loop, no longer bounded by the
inflated rep_max_zones, writes 64-byte descriptors from desc onward,
producing a slab out-of-bounds write.
Fix it the way ZBC and SPC require: allocation length truncation is not
an error, and a small alloc_len is a legitimate probe a host uses to
read the zone list length before allocating a full buffer. Clamp
rep_max_zones to zero when alloc_len is below the header size so no
descriptor is emitted, and size the allocation to at least the header
so the unconditional 64-byte header build cannot overflow. The existing
copy-out already truncates the result with
fill_from_dev_buffer(scp, arr, min_t(u32, alloc_len, rep_len)), so the
host still receives exactly the alloc_len bytes it asked for. There is
no functional change for alloc_len >= 64.
This supersedes the previous approach of rejecting a sub-header
allocation length with a check condition, which would have broken those
legitimate small-alloc_len probes.
Verified on a v6.19 KASAN build: with scsi_debug loaded as
zbc=host-managed, issuing REPORT ZONES(16) via SG_IO with alloc_len=32
triggers a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds write in resp_report_zones()
before this change, and the same command produces no report once the
clamp and allocation floor are applied. Reproduction requires
CAP_SYS_RAWIO to submit the raw CDB.

Please expend this using an actual if:
if (alloc_len < RZONES_DESC_HD)
rep_max_zones = 0;
else
rep_max_zones =
(alloc_len - RZONES_DESC_HD) >> ilog2(RZONES_DESC_HD);

Yes, but this only partly address the issue. E.g. if the command has an
allocation length of 64+32, rep_max_zones will incorrectly be 0, leaving the 32B
after the header unfilled. Sure, that is a "useless" case since no one wants a
partial zone descriptor. But the SCSI specs allow this, so let's do it correctly.
I have a patch in my local queue that I was about to send to fix this, but you

With that, the buffer arr is always big enough to generate a correct report with
no overflows, but at the end, we only transfer alloc_len, which may be less than
arr_len.

resp_report_zones() derives the number of zone descriptors that fit in
the reply buffer from the command allocation length:
rep_max_zones = (alloc_len - 64) >> ilog2(RZONES_DESC_HD);
arr = kzalloc(alloc_len, GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN);
alloc_len is taken directly from the CDB and is fully controlled by the
initiator. When alloc_len is smaller than the 64-byte report header
(RZONES_DESC_HD), the subtraction underflows and rep_max_zones becomes a
huge value. The buffer is then allocated with only alloc_len bytes, which
is smaller than the 64-byte header the code unconditionally writes, and
the descriptor loop is bounded by the bogus rep_max_zones. Both the header
store and the following zone descriptors are then written past the end of
the undersized allocation, corrupting adjacent slab memory.
Fix it by sizing the buffer to a whole number of 64-byte blocks that
cover the requested allocation length:
rep_max_zones =
(ALIGN((u64)alloc_len, RZONES_DESC_HD) - RZONES_DESC_HD)
>> ilog2(RZONES_DESC_HD);
arr_len = (u64)RZONES_DESC_HD * (rep_max_zones + 1);
arr = kzalloc(arr_len, GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN);
RZONES_DESC_HD is a power of two, so ALIGN() rounds alloc_len up to the
next multiple of 64 and rep_max_zones can no longer underflow: for any
alloc_len of 1 to 64 it is 0, so only the header is built. arr_len is
always RZONES_DESC_HD * (rep_max_zones + 1), which is exactly large enough
for the header plus every descriptor the loop may write, so the report is
always assembled within bounds, including a possibly partial trailing
zone descriptor. The existing copy-out still transfers only what the host
asked for:
fill_from_dev_buffer(scp, arr, min_t(u32, alloc_len, rep_len));
so an allocation length that ends in the middle of a zone descriptor
returns the correctly truncated partial descriptor, as permitted by the
SCSI/ZBC specifications, while never reading past arr_len.
The aligned length and the buffer size are computed in 64-bit (alloc_len
is cast to u64 before ALIGN and the size product uses a u64 block size) so
a crafted allocation length near U32_MAX cannot wrap them to a small value;
such a request simply fails the large allocation and returns a check
condition instead of overflowing the buffer.
This was found by static analysis. A KASAN slab-out-of-bounds runtime
reproduction of the original underflow is being re-run against the ALIGN
based fix and will be reported separately.

v3: adopt Damien Le Moal's ALIGN-based buffer sizing (Suggested-by) so a
partial trailing zone descriptor is filled and returned per the SCSI/ZBC
specs; v2 emitted only the report header for allocation lengths of 65..127
bytes. The buffer is sized to a whole number of 64-byte blocks covering
alloc_len; the existing min(alloc_len, rep_len) copy-out still truncates the
transfer to the requested length.
Computed in 64-bit to avoid a u32 wrap of the aligned length/size for
allocation lengths near U32_MAX (which would otherwise reintroduce the
overflow).

Thanks Damien, that makes sense. v3 adopts your ALIGN-based sizing, so a
partial trailing zone descriptor is now built and returned correctly
(Suggested-by: you).
While verifying it I noticed one corner in that snippet: ALIGN(alloc_len, 64)
and the 64 * (rep_max_zones + 1) size product are both evaluated in 32-bit.
alloc_len is the full 32-bit CDB allocation length, so a value just below
U32_MAX (e.g. 0xFFFFFFF0) wraps the aligned length and the size back down to a
tiny/zero value: kzalloc() then returns a ZERO_SIZE_PTR / tiny buffer while
rep_max_zones is huge, which reintroduces the same out-of-bounds write. v3
does the ALIGN and the size computation in 64-bit (cast alloc_len to u64, u64
block size), so that case just fails the large allocation and returns a check
condition instead.
Verified under KASAN: alloc_len=96 now returns the header plus a 32-byte
partial descriptor, and alloc_len=0xFFFFFFF0 returns INSUFF_RES with no KASAN
report.
Flagging it in case the copy of this pattern in your queued patch has the same
corner.
Thanks again for the review,
Ibrahim
