kernel: RDMA/rtrs-srv: Bound RDMA-Write length to chunk size in rdma_write_sg
    </Bugzilla>
    <CWE>CWE-125</CWE>
    <Details xml:lang="en:us" source="Mitre">
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/rtrs-srv: Bound RDMA-Write length to chunk size in rdma_write_sg

When the server answers an RTRS READ, rdma_write_sg() builds the source
scatter/gather entry for the IB_WR_RDMA_WRITE that returns data to the
peer. Its length is taken directly from the wire descriptor:

  plist-&gt;length = le32_to_cpu(id-&gt;rd_msg-&gt;desc[0].len);

rd_msg points into the chunk buffer that the remote peer filled via
RDMA-WRITE-WITH-IMM (rtrs_srv_rdma_done() -&gt; process_io_req() -&gt;
process_read()), so desc[0].len is attacker-controlled and, before this
change, was only rejected when zero. The source address is the fixed
chunk start (dma_addr[msg_id]) and the source lkey is the PD-wide
local_dma_lkey, which is not tied to the chunk's MR mapping, so the verbs
layer does not constrain the transfer length to max_chunk_size. msg_id
and off are bounded against queue_depth and max_chunk_size in
rtrs_srv_rdma_done(), but desc[0].len is a separate field that was not
checked against the chunk size.

A peer that advertises desc[0].len larger than max_chunk_size can make
the posted RDMA write read past the chunk's mapped region. The resulting
behaviour depends on the IOMMU configuration: with no IOMMU or in
passthrough mode the read may extend into memory adjacent to the chunk
and be returned to the peer, which can disclose host memory; with a
translating IOMMU the out-of-range access is expected to fault and abort
the connection. In either case the transfer exceeds what the protocol
permits and is driven by a remote peer.

Reject a descriptor length above max_chunk_size, mirroring the existing
off &gt;= max_chunk_size bound in rtrs_srv_rdma_done(). Legitimate clients
do not exceed it: the client sets desc[0].len to its MR length, which is
capped at the negotiated max_io_size (max_chunk_size - MAX_HDR_SIZE).

    <Details xml:lang="en:us" source="Red Hat">
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) rtrs-srv module. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted RDMA-Write length during an RTRS READ operation that exceeds the intended buffer size. This out-of-bounds read can lead to information disclosure, allowing the attacker to read sensitive host memory. In some configurations, this could also result in a denial of service.
