[PATCH 1/2] ocfs2: bound namelen in dlm_migrate_request_handler

From: Bryam Vargas via B4 Relay

Date: Mon Jun 29 2026 - 01:02:13 EST


From: Bryam Vargas <hexlabsecurity@xxxxxxxxx>

A node receiving a DLM_MIGRATE_REQUEST message trusts the peer-supplied
name length (migrate->namelen) without bounding it. dlm_init_mle() then
copies that many bytes into the fixed DLM_LOCKID_NAME_MAX-byte mname[]
array of an o2dlm_mle slab object, so a malformed message from a cluster
peer overflows the slab object by up to ~215 bytes: a heap out-of-bounds
write of attacker-controlled data, reachable by any node in the domain.

Reject an oversized name, the way dlm_master_request_handler() and the
other o2dlm receive handlers already do; the migration handler omits the
check entirely. Conforming messages are unaffected.
