Subject: [PATCH] scsi: fcoe: reject FIP descriptors with zero fip_dlen in CVL walker
Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 10:11:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260518141150.2755252-2-michael.bommarito@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260518141150.2755252-1-michael.bommarito@gmail.com>

drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe_ctlr.c::fcoe_ctlr_recv_clr_vlink() advanced
the descriptor cursor by an attacker-supplied fip_dlen without
ever requiring dlen >= sizeof(struct fip_desc) in the default
branch.  The named descriptor cases (FIP_DT_MAC, FIP_DT_NAME,
FIP_DT_VN_ID) checked their per-type minimum lengths, but a
FIP_DT_NON_CRITICAL descriptor (fip_dtype >= 128, which the
standard requires receivers to silently ignore) skipped that
check entirely.

An unauthenticated L2 peer on the FCoE control VLAN could hang
fcoe_ctlr_recv_work on an fcoe, qedf, or bnx2fc initiator
indefinitely by emitting one FIP CVL frame whose single
descriptor had fip_dtype == FIP_DT_NON_CRITICAL and fip_dlen
== 0: the cursor advanced zero bytes per iteration and the
loop condition rlen >= sizeof(*desc) stayed true forever,
blocking every subsequent FIP frame on that controller.

Tighten the outer dlen guard to also reject dlen <
sizeof(struct fip_desc), so a malformed descriptor whose
length cannot even cover the descriptor header is rejected
before the switch.  This is the same lower-bound the named
cases already apply and is the minimum scope that closes the
loop.
