Vulnerability Title
nvme-multipath: fix flex array size in struct nvme_ns_head
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-multipath: fix flex array size in struct nvme_ns_head struct nvme_ns_head contains a flexible array member, current_path[], which is indexed using the NUMA node ID: head->current_path[numa_node_id()] The structure is currently allocated as: size = sizeof(struct nvme_ns_head) + (num_possible_nodes() * sizeof(struct nvme_ns *)); head = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); This allocation assumes that NUMA node IDs are sequential and densely packed from 0 .. num_possible_nodes() - 1. While this assumption holds on many systems, it is not always true on some architectures such as powerpc. On some powerpc systems, NUMA node IDs can be sparse. For example: NUMA: NUMA node(s): 6 NUMA node0 CPU(s): 80-159 NUMA node8 CPU(s): 0-79 NUMA node252 CPU(s): NUMA node253 CPU(s): NUMA node254 CPU(s): NUMA node255 CPU(s): That is, the possible/online NUMA node IDs are: 0, 8, 252, 253, 254, 255 In this case: num_possible_nodes() = 6 So memory is allocated for only 6 entries in current_path[]. However, the array is later indexed using the actual NUMA node ID. As a result, accesses such as: head->current_path[8] or head->current_path[252] goes out of bounds, leading to the following KASAN splat: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in nvme_mpath_revalidate_paths+0x22c/0x290 [nvme_core] Write of size 8 at addr c00020003bda35b8 by task kworker/u641:2/1997 CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 1997 Comm: kworker/u641:2 Not tainted 7.1.0-rc5-dirty #14 PREEMPT(lazy) Hardware name: 8335-GTH POWER9 0x4e1202 opal:skiboot-v6.5.3-35-g1851b2a06 PowerNV Workqueue: async async_run_entry_fn Call Trace: [c000200037fa7510] [c0000000021c23d4] dump_stack_lvl+0x88/0xdc (unreliable) [c000200037fa7540] [c0000000009fda90] print_report+0x22c/0x67c [c000200037fa7630] [c0000000009fd508] kasan_report+0x108/0x220 [c000200037fa7740] [c0000000009fff48] __asan_store8+0xe8/0x120 [c000200037fa7760] [c008000018e76474] nvme_mpath_revalidate_paths+0x22c/0x290 [nvme_core] [c000200037fa7800] [c008000018e6556c] nvme_update_ns_info+0x4a4/0x5e0 [nvme_core] [c000200037fa7a50] [c008000018e66270] nvme_alloc_ns+0x6d8/0x1a70 [nvme_core] [c000200037fa7c20] [c008000018e679fc] nvme_scan_ns+0x3f4/0x630 [nvme_core] [c000200037fa7d10] [c00000000031f22c] async_run_entry_fn+0x9c/0x3a0 [c000200037fa7db0] [c0000000002fa544] process_one_work+0x414/0xa10 [c000200037fa7ec0] [c0000000002fbf00] worker_thread+0x320/0x640 [c000200037fa7f80] [c00000000030d0f8] kthread+0x278/0x290 [c000200037fa7fe0] [c00000000000ded8] start_kernel_thread+0x14/0x18 Allocated by task 1997 on cpu 1 at 35.928317s: The buggy address belongs to the object at c00020003bda3000 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-rnd-15-2k of size 2048 The buggy address is located 16 bytes to the right of allocated 1448-byte region [c00020003bda3000, c00020003bda35a8) The buggy address belongs to the physical page: Memory state around the buggy address: c00020003bda3480: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 c00020003bda3500: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 >c00020003bda3580: 00 00 00 00 00 fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc ^ c00020003bda3600: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc c00020003bda3680: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc ================================================================== Fix this by allocating the flexible array using nr_node_ids instead of num_possible_nodes(). Since nr_node_ids represents the maximum possible NUMA node IDs, indexing current_path[] using numa_node_id() becomes safe even on systems with sparse node IDs.
