[PATCH net v4 3/3] net/smc: bound the send length to the send buffer in smc_tx_sendmsg()

[Bryam Vargas via B4 Relay]

From: Bryam Vargas <hexlabsecurity@xxxxxxxxx>

On the SMC-D DMB-merge (nocopy) path, smc_cdc_msg_recv_action()
advances conn->sndbuf_space from the peer's wire-controlled consumer
cursor via smc_curs_diff(), which can return more than sndbuf_desc->len;
a forged cursor drives sndbuf_space past the send buffer, and over many
CDC messages overflows the signed counter negative. smc_tx_sendmsg()
reads it as the write space and does a wrap-around copy whose second
chunk is not re-bounded to sndbuf_desc->len, spilling the local
sender's outbound data past the send buffer at a peer-controlled
length: a heap out-of-bounds write. The nearby len > sndbuf_desc->len
test only feeds SMC_STAT_RMB_TX_SIZE_SMALL on the user length; it does
not bound the copy.

Bound the write space to sndbuf_desc->len at the consumer, treating a
negative (sign-overflowed) value as out of range too, so the copy can
never exceed the ring. This enforces the documented
0 <= sndbuf_space <= sndbuf_desc->len invariant where it is race-free
against the CDC tasklet; conforming peers are unaffected.
