Subject: [PATCH net 1/5] rxrpc: rxrpc_verify_data ensure rx_dec_buffer alloc
Date: Tue,  9 Jun 2026 15:09:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609140911.838677-2-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609140911.838677-1-dhowells@redhat.com>

From: Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@auristor.com>

rxrpc_recvmsg_data() calls rxrpc_verify_data() whenever the
rxrpc_call.rx_dec_buffer is unallocated and assumes that upon
successful return that rx_dec_buffer must be allocated.
However, rxrpc_verify_data() does not request an allocation if
the rxrpc_skb_priv.len is zero.

In addition, failure to allocate rx_dec_buffer will result in a
call to skb_copy_bits() with a NULL destination which can
trigger a NULL pointer dereference.

To prevent these issues rxrpc_verify_data() is modified to
always attempt to allocate the rxrpc_call.rx_dec_buffer if it
is NULL.

This issue was identified with assistance of a private
sashiko instance.
