A remote initiator that sets the RETH length to 0 therefore reaches\natomic_write_reply() with a zero-byte logical payload, and the responder\nreads sizeof(u64) bytes from past the logical end of the packet into\nskb->head tailroom, then writes those 8 bytes into the attacker's MR via\nrxe_mr_do_atomic_write(). That is a remote disclosure of 4 bytes of kernel\ntailroom per probe (the other 4 bytes are the packet's own trailing ICRC).\n\nIBA oA19-28 defines ATOMIC_WRITE as exactly 8 bytes. Anything else is\nprotocol-invalid. Hoist a strict length check into check_rkey() so the\nresponder never reaches the unchecked dereference, and keep the existing\nWRITE-family length logic for the normal RDMA WRITE path.\n\nReproduced on mainline with an unmodified rxe driver: a sustained\nzero-length ATOMIC_WRITE probe repeatedly leaks adjacent skb head-buffer\nbytes into the attacker's MR, including recognisable kernel strings and\npartial kernel-direct-map pointer words.  With this patch applied the\nresponder rejects the PDU and the MR stays all-zero."}],"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","baseScore":7.5,"baseSeverity":"HIGH"}}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.c"],"versions":[{"version":"034e285f8b99062a0cf29112e1232154a6a44aa5","lessThan":"539cabb7b2d8ba70f55bba91db55faef11c2a6d7","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"034e285f8b99062a0cf29112e1232154a6a44aa5","lessThan":"d415fce3fcde6d7aeea6c25362a395b905811452","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"034e285f8b99062a0cf29112e1232154a6a44aa5","lessThan":"105bf79a23b85cf3a761d18a4f3e10ce88526bc1","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"034e285f8b99062a0cf29112e1232154a6a44aa5","lessThan":"7ec1ed4747f5f99f8b797bb438c5efd36079fad5","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"034e285f8b99062a0cf29112e1232154a6a44aa5","lessThan":"1114c87aa6f195cf07da55a27b2122ae26557b26","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.2","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.2","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.140","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.88","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.30","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0.7","lessThanOrEqual":"7.0.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.140"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.88"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.30"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.2","versionEndExcluding":"7.0.7"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.2","versionEndExcluding":"7.1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/539cabb7b2d8ba70f55bba91db55faef11c2a6d7"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d415fce3fcde6d7aeea6c25362a395b905811452"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/105bf79a23b85cf3a761d18a4f3e10ce88526bc1"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ec1ed4747f5f99f8b797bb438c5efd36079fad5"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1114c87aa6f195cf07da55a27b2122ae26557b26"}],"title":"RDMA/rxe: Reject non-8-byte ATOMIC_WRITE payloads","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
