Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4.2: fix LAYOUTSTATS send buffer exhaustion
encode_layoutstats_maxsz budgets XDR_QUADLEN(PNFS_LAYOUTSTATS_MAXSIZE),
i.e. 256 bytes, for the layoutupdate4 body written by the layout driver.
The flexfiles record can exceed that.
ff_layout_encode_ff_layoutupdate() emits, per data server, a netaddr4,
an nfs_fh4, two ff_io_latency4, an nfstime4 and a bool. A data server
whose filehandle is NFS_MAXFHSIZE bytes long already accounts for 132 of
those bytes, and the two ff_io_latency4 at 64 bytes each, the nfstime4
and the bool add a further 144, so the body passes 256 bytes before the
netaddr4 is encoded at all. encode_layoutstats() additionally writes
the deviceid4 and the layoutupdate4 lou_type word, neither of which the
macro accounts for.
The filehandle and the address are both chosen by the server, through
LAYOUTGET and GETDEVICEINFO, so it can drive the encoder past the
end of the send buffer. xdr_reserve_space() returns NULL once that
happens, and the two ff_layout_encode_io_latency() calls run with
dss_info->mirror->lock held, so a NULL return there leaves the lock
permanently held.
Raise PNFS_LAYOUTSTATS_MAXSIZE to 384 so that the record fits inside the
reservation.
