Subject: [PATCH v2 27/31] gpu: nova-core: gsp: validate RPC element framing on receive
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 18:54:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260822015448.238214-28-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260822015448.238214-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com>

The r000 firmware gives RPC and GMC queue elements the same MCTP and
NVDM transport headers, and the driver advances the read pointer by the
element length those headers declare.

The RPC receive path checked only the MCTP magic, and only after it had
already sliced the payload using a length from the same unchecked
header. Nothing bounded the element length that advances the read
pointer, so a corrupt one moved the pointer to an arbitrary slot.

Run the RPC path through the same framing validation the GMC path uses,
before any length field is read.
