Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: clear XDR padding in GETXATTR replies
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 13:01:19 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915160119.3105745-1-qwe.aldo@gmail.com> (raw)
nfsd4_vbuf_to_stream() uses a raw memcpy() for the first fragment of an
attribute value. xdr_reserve_space() aligns the reservation but does not
initialize the extra bytes. If the complete value fits in that fragment,
the loop that clears padding for the final fragment is never entered.
A remote client reading an attribute whose length is not a multiple of
four can therefore receive one to three stale bytes from the response
page.
Encode the first fragment with xdr_encode_opaque_fixed(), matching the
final-fragment path and ensuring that any XDR padding is zeroed.
Fixes: 23e50fe3a5e6 ("nfsd: implement the xattr functions and en/decode logic")
