Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rxrpc: fix RESPONSE authenticator parser OOB read rxgk_verify_authenticator() copies auth_len bytes into a temporary buffer and then passes p + auth_len as the parser limit to rxgk_do_verify_authenticator(). Since p is a __be32 *, that inflates the parser end pointer by a factor of four and lets malformed RESPONSE authenticators read past the kmalloc() buffer. Decoded from the original latest-net reproduction logs with scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in rxgk_verify_response() Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl() [lib/dump_stack.c:123] print_report() [mm/kasan/report.c:379 mm/kasan/report.c:482] kasan_report() [mm/kasan/report.c:597] rxgk_verify_response() [net/rxrpc/rxgk.c:1103 net/rxrpc/rxgk.c:1167 net/rxrpc/rxgk.c:1274] rxrpc_process_connection() [net/rxrpc/conn_event.c:266 net/rxrpc/conn_event.c:364 net/rxrpc/conn_event.c:386] process_one_work() [kernel/workqueue.c:3281] worker_thread() [kernel/workqueue.c:3353 kernel/workqueue.c:3440] kthread() [kernel/kthread.c:436] ret_from_fork() [arch/x86/kernel/process.c:164] Allocated by task 54: rxgk_verify_response() [include/linux/slab.h:954 net/rxrpc/rxgk.c:1155 net/rxrpc/rxgk.c:1274] rxrpc_process_connection() [net/rxrpc/conn_event.c:266 net/rxrpc/conn_event.c:364 net/rxrpc/conn_event.c:386] Convert the byte count to __be32 units before constructing the parser limit.
