Subject: [PATCH 0/2] thunderbolt: Validate router-provided port numbers
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 12:50:38 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909035040.2929285-1-4ncienth@gmail.com> (raw)
Two six-bit port numbers received from a router are used to index the
router's sw->ports array without first comparing them with
max_port_number. The array contains only max_port_number + 1 entries.
Patch 1 validates the port in a DP bandwidth notification before
tb_handle_dp_bandwidth_request() calls tb_port_is_dpin(). Patch 2
validates HOPS out_port at all three path-discovery sites and performs
the construction-pass check before allocating an input HopID.
I tested a private synthetic KUnit reproducer on current mainline
893e11787f78. It allocates ports 0 through 12 and supplies port 63. On
x86_64, struct tb_port is 200 bytes, so the requested allocation is
2,600 bytes and the selected object starts at offset 12,600.
The unmodified accesses produced:
- a four-byte KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read in
tb_port_is_dpin(), 3/3 boots;
- an eight-byte KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read of
out_port->remote, 3/3 boots.
With this series, both controls pass 3/3 with no KASAN report and the
complete Thunderbolt KUnit suite passes 47/47. drivers/thunderbolt/tb.o
and path.o also build with W=1 without warnings.
I have not performed hardware control-channel or HOPS injection. The DP
notification index is used before tunnel lookup or bandwidth-mode
validation. The HOPS sites are used to discover already enabled preboot
tunnels and during resume discovery; ordinary hotplug path construction
uses tb_path_alloc() instead.
The private reproducer is available to the maintainers on request and is
not included in this public series.
