[PATCH] io_uring: fix out-of-bounds bvec access in io_vec_fill_kern_bvec
From: Ömer Mete Kaya
Date: Thu Oct 01 2026 - 10:51:24 EST
for_each_mp_bvec() dereferences src_bvec[bi_idx] in the loop condition
before the body is entered, with no guard against bi_idx reaching
imu->nr_bvecs. iov_kern_bvec_size() stops iterating when i reaches
imu->nr_bvecs even if bi_size is still non-zero, so the fill loop can
walk past the end of the bvec array and overrun res_bvec[].
Open-code the loop with an explicit bi_idx < imu->nr_bvecs check before
the dereference, matching the termination condition in
iov_kern_bvec_size().
Fixes: 1045afae4b88 ("io_uring: support vectored kernel fixed buffer")
