[PATCH] dlm: fix RCOM_LOOKUP length underflow
From: Aohan Mei

receive_rcom_lookup() derives the resource name length from the
peer-supplied 16-bit h_length header field:
int len = le16_to_cpu(rc_in->rc_header.h_length) -
sizeof(struct dlm_rcom);
The 3.1 receive path only bounds h_length to the range
[sizeof(struct dlm_header), DLM_MAX_SOCKET_BUFSIZE] in
dlm_validate_incoming_buffer(), and the RCOM case in
dlm_midcomms_receive_buffer_3_1() performs no further length check
despite its "length already checked" comment. A peer can therefore
send an RCOM_LOOKUP message whose h_length is smaller than
sizeof(struct dlm_rcom) (48). The subtraction is evaluated in size_t
arithmetic and wraps, and the result is assigned to an int as a
negative value.
Both consumers of that length only guard the upper bound
(len > DLM_RESNAME_MAXLEN), which a negative len passes as a signed
comparison:
- with rc_id == 0xffffffff, len reaches dlm_dump_rsb_name() ->
dlm_search_rsb_tree(), where memcpy() converts it to a huge size_t
and overflows the on-stack 64-byte key buffer;
- otherwise len reaches dlm_master_lookup() -> _dlm_master_lookup(),
where jhash() converts it to a huge u32 and reads out of bounds.
Drop the message when the computed name length falls outside
[0, DLM_RESNAME_MAXLEN], which is exactly the range valid lookups
use.
