[PATCH v2] RDMA/rxe: Validate inline data range in user WQEs
From: Jiale Yao
Date: Sat Sep 26 2026 - 03:08:19 EST
For a user QP, the send queue is an mmap'd ring which userspace writes
directly. rxe_post_send() only schedules the send task for such a QP,
so userspace can also change WQE fields while rxe_requester() processes
the WQE.
Commit 126c757e4cd46f866ddc283143b58eb4d9bf52cd ("RDMA/rxe:
Validate num_sge/cur_sge before indexing wqe->dma.sge[]") added bounds
checks for two members of the userspace-controlled dma structure, but
left sge_offset unchecked. For an inline WQE, finish_packet() uses that
value directly as an index into inline_data[] and copies dma.resid bytes
from the resulting pointer into the packet payload.
A local user with access to uverbs can therefore put an out-of-range
sge_offset in the mmap'd SQ ring. This can disclose kernel memory in the
outgoing packet or cause a vmalloc out-of-bounds access.
Since sge_offset comes from shared memory, validating it in
rxe_requester() and then reading it again in finish_packet() leaves a
TOCTOU window. Copy it into a local variable in finish_packet(), validate
that local value, and use the same value for the copy and update. Check
the offset first and use subtraction for the length check to avoid an
integer overflow.
I reproduced this on Linux 7.3-rc4 with an RC user QP, IB_SEND_INLINE,
a 64-byte residual length, and sge_offset set to 0x100000. KASAN
reported:

V1 -> V2: Copy sge_offset from the shared WQE into a local variable in
finish_packet(), validate that local value, and reuse it for the memcpy
and update. This closes the TOCTOU race reported by Sashiko.
