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

svcrdma: Fix offset arithmetic in read_chunk_range

svc_rdma_read_chunk_range() walks a Read chunk's segment list to

build a sub-range starting at byte offset and spanning length bytes

for a Position-Zero or Call chunk. Two arithmetic defects in the

per-segment loop produce wrong DMA lengths and a u32 underflow:

pcl_for_each_segment(segment, chunk) {

if (offset > segment->rs_length) {

offset -= segment->rs_length;

continue;

}

dummy.rs_handle = segment->rs_handle;

dummy.rs_length = min_t(u32, length,

segment->rs_length) - offset;

dummy.rs_offset = segment->rs_offset + offset;

First, the skip predicate uses '>' instead of '>='. When offset

equals the segment's full rs_length, the segment is fully consumed

and should be skipped, but the loop falls through into the body.

The resulting dummy.rs_length is min_t(u32, length, rs_length) -

rs_length, which underflows to a near-UINT_MAX u32 when length is

smaller than rs_length, or is zero otherwise.

Second, the length formula subtracts offset from the min_t() result

rather than from segment->rs_length before the cap. For offset > 0

the segment's residual is rs_length - offset, not rs_length, so the

cap must be applied to the residual. With the current bracketing,

whenever length is smaller than rs_length - offset the per-segment

length becomes length - offset instead of length, silently dropping

offset bytes from the rebuilt chunk. Combined with the boundary

case above it also enables the u32 underflow path, which propagates

a huge nr_bvec into svc_rdma_build_read_segment() and a multi-MiB

kmalloc_array_node() in svc_rdma_get_rw_ctxt().

Additionally, svc_rdma_read_call_chunk() can invoke this function

with length == 0 when the last Read chunk ends exactly at the end

of the Call chunk. With the corrected >= predicate, every segment

is skipped and the function returns the initial -EINVAL, rejecting

a valid request. Return success immediately when length is zero.

Also break out of the loop once length is fully consumed to avoid

passing zero-length segments to svc_rdma_build_read_segment().

Fix by using '>=' so a fully-consumed segment is skipped, by

moving '- offset' inside min_t() so the cap is applied to the

segment's residual length, by returning success for zero-length

requests, and by stopping iteration when the requested range has

been consumed. (NVD)
