Subject: [PATCH] block: add allocation size check in blkdev_pr_read_keys()
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2025 07:05:10 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251212013510.3576091-1-kartikey406@gmail.com> (raw)
blkdev_pr_read_keys() takes num_keys from userspace and uses it to
calculate the allocation size for keys_info via struct_size(). While
there is a check for SIZE_MAX (integer overflow), there is no upper
bound validation on the allocation size itself.
A malicious or buggy userspace can pass a large num_keys value that
doesn't trigger overflow but still results in an excessive allocation
attempt, causing a warning in the page allocator when the order exceeds
MAX_PAGE_ORDER.
Fix this by checking that keys_info_len does not exceed KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE
before attempting the allocation.
Fixes: 22a1ffea5f80 ("block: add IOC_PR_READ_KEYS ioctl")
