Subject: [PATCH] rds: fix out-of-bounds conn_path walk in peer gen update
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 00:40:41 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008164041.961961-1-bsdhenrymartin@gmail.com> (raw)
A connection on the IB transport (t_mp_capable unset) is allocated
with exactly one rds_conn_path slot, yet the peer's genetic number
update routine is hardcoded to walk RDS_MPATH_WORKERS entries whenever
the peer announces a non-zero gen number that differs from the one we
cached. Everything past the first entry lands on whatever happens to
follow the single-slot array in the same slab slot group, and the loop
then reads and modifies struct fields there (lock acquired,
cp_next_tx_seq cleared, retransmit list inspected). A malicious peer
can therefore force consecutive out-of-bounds writes into neighbouring
kmalloc-512 objects (KASAN: "Write of size 4 in
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave").
The allocation and the walk now agree on the same expression
(trans->t_mp_capable ? RDS_MPATH_WORKERS : 1), so the loop can never
outlive the array regardless of what the peer reports.
This vulnerability was discovered by Tencent CodeBuddy Security.
