Subject: possible integer underflow in __sctp_auth_cid()
Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2012 15:17:48 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120630121748.GD22767@elgon.mountain> (raw)
In 555d3d5d "SCTP: Fix chunk acceptance when no authenticated chunks
were listed.", we added a check for if (param->param_hdr.length == 0).
Shouldn't that check be a check for if
(param->param_hdr.length < sizeos(sizeof(sctp_paramhdr_t)))? Otherwise,
when we do the substraction on the next line we would unintentionally
end up with a high positive number.
I had a similar question about sctp_auth_ep_add_chunkid():
net/sctp/auth.c
770 /* Check if we can add this chunk to the array */
771 param_len = ntohs(p->param_hdr.length);
772 nchunks = param_len - sizeof(sctp_paramhdr_t);
773 if (nchunks == SCTP_NUM_CHUNK_TYPES)
774 return -EINVAL;
775
776 p->chunks[nchunks] = chunk_id;
If param_len is less than sizeof(sctp_paramhdr_t) we could write past
the end of the array. There are a couple other places with this same
subtraction as well.
regards,
dan carpenter
