[PATCH net v2] net: fec: reject oversized fragments before bounce-buffer memcpy
Posted by Aldo Ariel Panzardo 17 hours ago
fec_enet_txq_submit_frag_skb() and fec_enet_txq_submit_skb() copy
transmit data into a per-ring bounce buffer when the source address is
misaligned or the FEC_QUIRK_SWAP_FRAME quirk is active. The bounce
buffers are allocated as kmalloc(FEC_ENET_TX_FRSIZE) where
FEC_ENET_TX_FRSIZE is 2048 bytes.

However, skb_frag_size() can return up to PAGE_SIZE (4096 on most
architectures) for scatter-gather fragments, and skb_headlen() can
exceed 2048 for certain GSO packets. When this happens the memcpy
overflows the bounce buffer by up to 2048 bytes, corrupting adjacent
heap objects.

Add a length check before each bounce-buffer copy. If the data exceeds
the bounce buffer capacity, fall through to the error path rather than
performing the out-of-bounds write.

ndev->max_mtu = fep->max_buf_size - VLAN_ETH_HLEN - ETH_FCS_LEN;

What value is this? Is it greater than, or smaller than FEC_ENET_TX_FRSIZE?
