Subject: [PATCH] rds: fix out-of-bounds conn_path access via handshake NPATHS
Date: Fri,  9 Oct 2026 00:38:43 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008163843.957325-1-bsdhenrymartin@gmail.com> (raw)

Connections on the IB transport (t_mp_capable unset) own exactly one
rds_conn_path slot, but the peer can still claim eight lanes through
the NPATHS extension header of a handshake packet, and every
subsequent fan-out path then treats all eight entries as real: the
mp-start helper iterates conn->c_path[0..7], dereferencing cp->cp_conn,
taking cp->cp_lock and queueing delayed work on cp->cp_wq at 504-byte
strides into whatever comes after the single allocated slot (KASAN:
"Read of size 8 in rds_conn_path_connect_if_down").

The negotiated lane count is now clamped to the same value the
transport was allocated with (trans->t_mp_capable ?
RDS_MPATH_WORKERS : 1), so a peer can never ask us to walk lanes that
do not exist.

This vulnerability was discovered by Tencent CodeBuddy Security.
