What to Know

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/siw: bound Read Response placement to the RREAD length

In drivers/infiniband/sw/siw/siw_qp_rx.c, siw_proc_rresp() places each

inbound Read Response DDP segment at sge->laddr + wqe->processed and then

accumulates wqe->processed, but it never checks the running total against

the sink buffer length on continuation segments. siw_check_sge() resolves

and validates the sink memory only on the first fragment (the if (!*mem)

branch), and siw_rresp_check_ntoh() compares the cumulative length against

wqe->bytes only on the final segment (the !frx->more_ddp_segs guard).

A connected siw peer that answers an outstanding RREAD with Read Response

segments that keep the DDP Last flag clear, carrying more total payload

than the RREAD requested, drives wqe->processed past the validated sink

buffer; the next siw_rx_data() call writes out of bounds at

sge->laddr + wqe->processed. siw runs iWARP over ordinary routable TCP,

so the peer is the remote end of an established RDMA connection and needs

no local privilege.

Bound every segment before placement, exactly as siw_proc_send() and

siw_proc_write() already do for their tagged and untagged paths, and

terminate the connection with a base-or-bounds DDP error when the

Read Response would overrun the sink buffer.

This is the second receive-path length fix for this file. A separate

change rejects an MPA FPDU length that underflows the per-fragment

remainder in the header decode; that guard does not cover this case,

because here each individual segment length is self-consistent and only

the accumulated placement offset overruns the buffer. (NVD)
