Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tls: fix off-by-one in sg_chain entry count for wrapped sk_msg ring
When an sk_msg scatterlist ring wraps (sg.end < sg.start),
tls_push_record() chains the tail portion of the ring to the head
using sg_chain(). An extra entry in the sg array is reserved for
this:
struct sk_msg_sg {
[...]
/* The extra two elements:
* 1) used for chaining the front and sections when the list becomes
* partitioned (e.g. end < start). The crypto APIs require the
* chaining;
* 2) to chain tailer SG entries after the message.
*/
struct scatterlist data[MAX_MSG_FRAGS + 2];
The current code uses MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 as the ring size:
sg_chain(&msg_pl->sg.data[msg_pl->sg.start],
MAX_SKB_FRAGS - msg_pl->sg.start + 1,
msg_pl->sg.data);
This places the chain pointer at
sg_chain(data[start], (MAX_SKB_FRAGS - msg_start + 1) .. =
&data[start] + (MAX_SKB_FRAGS - msg_start + 1) - 1 =
data[start + (MAX_SKB_FRAGS - start + 1) - 1] =
data[MAX_SKB_FRAGS]
instead of the true last entry. This is likely due to a "race" of
the commit under Fixes landing close to
commit 031097d9e079 ("bpf: sk_msg, zap ingress queue on psock down")
Convert to ARRAY_SIZE and drop the data[start] / - start (as suggested
by Sabrina).
