Subject: [PATCH v4] scsi: scsi_debug: fix REPORT ZONES alloc_len underflow OOB write
Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2026 20:37:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260712183739.83915-1-security@auditcode.ai> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710055755.53830-1-security@auditcode.ai>
resp_report_zones() sizes the reply buffer from the CDB allocation
length. The v3 fix rounds alloc_len up with ALIGN() before deriving the
descriptor count:
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);
For alloc_len in 0xFFFFFFC1..0xFFFFFFFF, ALIGN() rounds up to
0x100000000, so arr_len is 4 GB. On 32-bit, kzalloc()'s size_t is
32-bit and truncates 0x100000000 to 0; kzalloc(0) returns
ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which passes the !arr check, and desc = arr + 64 is then
dereferenced in the loop -> out-of-bounds write / panic.
Clamp rep_max_zones to devip->nr_zones. The loop already stops at
sdebug_capacity (after nr_zones zones), so a report can never hold more
than nr_zones descriptors; the clamp does not change the report, it
only bounds arr_len to (nr_zones + 1) * RZONES_DESC_HD, a real device
property that can never reach 0x100000000.

v4: clamp rep_max_zones to the device zone count (devip->nr_zones) so arr_len
cannot reach 0x100000000 and be truncated by kzalloc()'s 32-bit size_t on
32-bit platforms (which returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR and bypasses the NULL check),
as reported by sashiko-bot / Bart Van Assche on v3. This restores a bound
that pre-dated the loop refactor: the original REPORT ZONES code already
capped rep_max_zones at the device zone count. The clamp is additive and does
not change any report (the loop already stops at sdebug_capacity), so it only
bounds the allocation. Dropped Damien's v3 Reviewed-by since v4 adds a
functional line he has not reviewed; his ALIGN sizing is otherwise unchanged.
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/20260710055755.53830-1-security@auditcode.ai/
