Subject: [PATCH net] sctp: bound the auth_chunks copy length in SCTP_LOCAL_AUTH_CHUNKS
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 17:01:47 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730090149.24040-1-juny24602@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Jun Yang <junvyyang@tencent.com>
sctp_getsockopt_local_auth_chunks() copies ntohs(length) -
sizeof(paramhdr) bytes out of ch->chunks without bounding the count.
For an association ch is the fixed-size asoc->c.auth_chunks[] array
(sizeof(struct sctp_paramhdr) + SCTP_AUTH_MAX_CHUNKS bytes), whose length
field is restored from the received state cookie by sctp_unpack_cookie()
and is not validated against the array size. A cookie carrying an
oversized length makes copy_to_user() read past the array (out-of-bounds
read).
Bound the chunk count to SCTP_AUTH_MAX_CHUNKS before the copy. That is
the most valid chunk bytes either source can hold, so legitimate output
is unchanged, and it also covers a stored length smaller than the
parameter header, which would otherwise underflow.
Fixes: 65b07e5d0d09 ("[SCTP]: API updates to suport SCTP-AUTH extensions.")
