[PATCH net v2] net: stmmac: fix integer underflow in chain mode
Posted by Tyllis Xu 2 hours ago
The jumbo_frm() chain-mode implementation unconditionally computes

    len = nopaged_len - bmax;

where nopaged_len = skb_headlen(skb) (linear bytes only) and bmax is
BUF_SIZE_8KiB or BUF_SIZE_2KiB.  However, the caller stmmac_xmit()
decides to invoke jumbo_frm() based on skb->len (total length including
page fragments):

    is_jumbo = stmmac_is_jumbo_frm(priv, skb->len, enh_desc);

When a packet has a small linear portion (nopaged_len <= bmax) but a
large total length due to page fragments (skb->len > bmax), the
subtraction wraps as an unsigned integer, producing a huge len value
(~0xFFFFxxxx).  This causes the while (len != 0) loop to execute
hundreds of thousands of iterations, passing skb->data + bmax * i
pointers far beyond the skb buffer to dma_map_single().  On IOMMU-less
SoCs (the typical deployment for stmmac), this maps arbitrary kernel
memory to the DMA engine, constituting a kernel memory disclosure and
potential memory corruption from hardware.

Fix this by introducing a buf_len local variable clamped to
min(nopaged_len, bmax).  Computing len = nopaged_len - buf_len is then
always safe: it is zero when the linear portion fits within a single
descriptor, causing the while (len != 0) loop to be skipped naturally,
and the fragment loop in stmmac_xmit() handles page fragments afterward.

v2: Instead of restructuring into an if/else block (v1), introduce a
    buf_len local variable clamped to min(nopaged_len, bmax) so the
    subtraction and the existing while loop remain structurally intact.
    Suggested by Russell King.
