Subject: [PATCH net] net-sysfs: reject a one-entry RPS flow table
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 23:55:22 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021155522.67521-1-phx0fer@gmail.com> (raw)

store_rps_dev_flow_table_cnt() accepts rps_flow_cnt == 1.  For count == 1
the round-up loop leaves mask == 0, which is stored as log == 0 in the
tag (tag_ptr |= ilog2(mask) + 1).  get_rps_cpu() then calls
rfs_slot() -> hash_32(hash, rps_tag_to_log(tag_ptr)) with log == 0:

  include/linux/hash.h:68
	return __hash_32(val) >> (32 - bits);   /* bits == 0 -> shift by 32 */

The shift by 32 is undefined and yields the full 32-bit hash, which is
used to index the one-entry rps_dev_flow[] table unchecked:

  UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in ./include/linux/hash.h:68:24
  shift exponent 32 is too large for 32-bit type 'unsigned int'
   __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds+0x11c/0x208
   get_rps_cpu+0x12fc/0x1344
   netif_rx_internal+0x1e0/0x4d4

rps_dev_flow[] is then read (rflow->cpu) and written (last_qtail) out of
bounds on the packet path.  Require at least two entries.

Tested base
-----------
Detected on Linux 7.3-rc4 (commit 93f51579e7df), arm64 QEMU guest.
Re-checked against mainline f47d223627f8 (v7.3-341): the affected code
is unchanged between the two, so the bug is still present there.
Checked against linux-next next-20261021 (commit 9a482184d910): the
affected code is unchanged there as well, so the bug is still present in
linux-next too.

Reproducer status
-----------------
A reproducer was written and executed on an arm64 QEMU guest (KASAN + UBSAN);
UBSAN fired at the claimed sink.  The reproducer source is not posted here per
Documentation/process/security-bugs.rst; it is available on request.

Triggering conditions
---------------------
CAP_NET_ADMIN to write rps_flow_cnt.

Notes
-----
Built and checkpatch-clean: this patch was applied on top of 7.3-rc4
(commit 93f51579e7df) and a full arm64 kernel (defconfig) was built with
it -- no new warnings or errors.  scripts/checkpatch.pl reports 0 errors,
0 warnings.
