| Subject: macsec: avoid heap overflow in skb_to_sgvec
 | |
| 
 | |
| While this may appear as a humdrum one line change, it's actually quite
 | |
| important. An sk_buff stores data in three places:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. A linear chunk of allocated memory in skb->data. This is the easiest
 | |
|    one to work with, but it precludes using scatterdata since the memory
 | |
|    must be linear.
 | |
| 2. The array skb_shinfo(skb)->frags, which is of maximum length
 | |
|    MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This is nice for scattergather, since these fragments
 | |
|    can point to different pages.
 | |
| 3. skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list, which is a pointer to another sk_buff,
 | |
|    which in turn can have data in either (1) or (2).
 | |
| 
 | |
| The first two are rather easy to deal with, since they're of a fixed
 | |
| maximum length, while the third one is not, since there can be
 | |
| potentially limitless chains of fragments. Fortunately dealing with
 | |
| frag_list is opt-in for drivers, so drivers don't actually have to deal
 | |
| with this mess. For whatever reason, macsec decided it wanted pain, and
 | |
| so it explicitly specified NETIF_F_FRAGLIST.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Because dealing with (1), (2), and (3) is insane, most users of sk_buff
 | |
| doing any sort of crypto or paging operation calls a convenient function
 | |
| called skb_to_sgvec (which happens to be recursive if (3) is in use!).
 | |
| This takes a sk_buff as input, and writes into its output pointer an
 | |
| array of scattergather list items. Sometimes people like to declare a
 | |
| fixed size scattergather list on the stack; othertimes people like to
 | |
| allocate a fixed size scattergather list on the heap. However, if you're
 | |
| doing it in a fixed-size fashion, you really shouldn't be using
 | |
| NETIF_F_FRAGLIST too (unless you're also ensuring the sk_buff and its
 | |
| frag_list children arent't shared and then you check the number of
 | |
| fragments in total required.)
 | |
| 
 | |
| Macsec specifically does this:
 | |
| 
 | |
|         size += sizeof(struct scatterlist) * (MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1);
 | |
|         tmp = kmalloc(size, GFP_ATOMIC);
 | |
|         *sg = (struct scatterlist *)(tmp + sg_offset);
 | |
| 	...
 | |
|         sg_init_table(sg, MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1);
 | |
|         skb_to_sgvec(skb, sg, 0, skb->len);
 | |
| 
 | |
| Specifying MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 is the right answer usually, but not if you're
 | |
| using NETIF_F_FRAGLIST, in which case the call to skb_to_sgvec will
 | |
| overflow the heap, and disaster ensues.
