Subject: [PATCH RESEND v2 42/51] powerpc/pseries: bound the lengths in the ofdt property parser
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 20:26:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104-work-procfs-bugfixes-v2-42-021c84d852e0@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104-work-procfs-bugfixes-v2-0-021c84d852e0@kernel.org>

The commands for /proc/powerpc/ofdt that carry properties, "add_node",
"add_property" and "update_property", can make the parser read past the
buffer they were copied into:

(1) do_update_property() computes the end of the buffer after
    parse_node() moved buf past the phandle. So the end is off by the
    length of the phandle string, which can be padded with zeroes, and
    parse_next_property() accepts a value that reaches that far past
    the command. new_property() then copies those bytes into the
    property, which everyone can read in /proc/device-tree.

(2) parse_next_property() parses the length with simple_strtoul() into
    an int and only rejects -1. A length above INT_MAX turns negative,
    tmp += *length moves backwards and passes the check against the
    end, so *tmp is read up to 2G in front of the buffer.

(3) Updating "slb-size" or "ibm,slb-size" reads an int from the value
    whatever its length.

Compute the end before parsing the phandle, reject lengths that don't
fit into an int or into what is left of the buffer, and only take the
slb size from a value that holds one. The file is root-only and
refused under lockdown but the parser still shouldn't read past its
input.
