The previous implementation used `skip == 0` to\nmean \"this is a pointer fixup\", but 0 is also the correct skip length\nfor an empty FDA. If the FDA is at the end of the buffer, then this\nresults in an attempt to write 8-bytes out of bounds. This is caught and\nresults in an EINVAL error being returned to userspace.\n\nThe pattern of using `skip == 0` as a special value originates from the\nC-implementation of Binder. As part of fixing this bug, this pattern is\nreplaced with a Rust enum.\n\nI considered the alternate option of not pushing a fixup when the length\nis zero, but I think it's cleaner to just get rid of the zero-is-special\nstuff.\n\nThe root cause of this bug was diagnosed by Gemini CLI on first try. I\nused the following prompt:\n\n> There appears to be a bug in @drivers/android/binder/thread.rs where\n> the Fixups oob bug is triggered with 316 304 316 324. This implies\n> that we somehow ended up with a fixup where buffer A has a pointer to\n> buffer B, but the pointer is located at an index in buffer A that is\n> out of bounds. Please investigate the code to find the bug. You may\n> compare with @drivers/android/binder.c that implements this correctly." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/android/binder/thread.rs" ], "versions": [ { "version": "eafedbc7c050c44744fbdf80bdf3315e860b7513", "lessThan": "598fe3ff32e43918ed8a062f55432b3d23e6340c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "eafedbc7c050c44744fbdf80bdf3315e860b7513", "lessThan": "8f589c9c3be539d6c2b393c82940c3783831082f", "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/android/binder/thread.rs" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.18", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.18", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.10", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19", "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": "6.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.10" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/598fe3ff32e43918ed8a062f55432b3d23e6340c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8f589c9c3be539d6c2b393c82940c3783831082f" } ], "title": "rust_binder: correctly handle FDA objects of length zero", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
