In the reverse direction\n(xpt_locallen < xpt_remotelen) the slot is oversized and the\nunwritten tail leaks prior ring-buffer contents to trace consumers.\n\nThe write-past-end case is reachable on NFS/UDP. svc_xprt_set_remote()\nis only called from svc_tcp_accept() (net/sunrpc/svcsock.c) and from\nthe RDMA connect path; svc_create_socket() for UDP calls only\nsvc_xprt_set_local(), so xpt_remotelen stays 0 for the xprt's\nlifetime. Every fh_verify trace for an NFSv2/v3-over-UDP request\nthen copies 16 or 28 bytes from xpt_local into a zero-byte slot.\n\nThe other NFSD tracepoints that record the server address\n(NFSD_TRACE_PROC_CALL_FIELDS, NFSD_TRACE_PROC_RES_FIELDS,\nSVC_RQST_ENDPOINT_FIELDS) already size the server slot by\nxpt_locallen; nfsd_fh_verify and nfsd_fh_verify_err were the only\nexceptions.\n\nFix by sizing the server slot with xpt_locallen so the declared slot\nmatches the copy length.

a remote packet reaches svc_udp_recvfrom, svc_process, nfsd_proc_getattr/nfsd3_proc_getattr, then fh_verify.\nAC:L - With the nfsd_fh_verify events enabled (a realistic nfsd tracing/perf deployment), every UDP fh_verify deterministically memcpy's 16 or 28 bytes of xpt_local into a 0-byte slot; no race, layout guess, or attacker-uncontrollable condition is required.\nPR:N - AUTH_NULL and AUTH_SYS verify no credentials, and GETATTR uses NFSD_MAY_NOP so a dummy filehandle still hits fh_verify (and nfsd_fh_verify_err on lookup failure); a UDP source-IP spoof or wildcard export satisfies the IP map without an authenticated principal.\nUI:N - The attacker sends crafted NFS/UDP RPCs unilaterally; no administrator or victim-client action is required at exploitation time, and tracing already being enabled is the scored configuration rather than user interaction.\nS:U - The overflow corrupts the host kernel's ftrace/perf ring buffer inside the NFS server's own kernel security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - When the reserved sockaddr slot is larger than xpt_locallen, leftover prior ring-buffer contents including kernel pointers from other events leak to trace consumers; the UDP out-of-bounds write can also corrupt adjacent event headers so later parses treat neighbouring kernel memory as payload.\nI:H - On NFS/UDP, xpt_remotelen stays 0 so __assign_sockaddr copies 16 or 28 bytes of xpt_local past the reserved dynamic array into subsequent ring-buffer bytes and potentially the next sub-buffer page header, which is an out-of-bounds kernel write.\nA:H - Corrupting ring-buffer event headers or the next sub-buffer page metadata can oops or panic the tracer or hang consumers, and a remote peer can repeat the UDP request to force the overflow until the kernel faults." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/nfsd/trace.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "051382885552e12541cc0ebf82092be374a9ed2a", "lessThan": "1c6a4d6c20fd42552ffc2c3dfaed2139c9477ee5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "051382885552e12541cc0ebf82092be374a9ed2a", "lessThan": "95d064f9828a20ccca5ae90a17be3e2076f25272", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "051382885552e12541cc0ebf82092be374a9ed2a", "lessThan": "7ff8d6363cffff45654ea85e319f7c0c54226012", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "051382885552e12541cc0ebf82092be374a9ed2a", "lessThan": "719a10e3f5f868c3c4ac3cf3648c5775d12034bd", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "051382885552e12541cc0ebf82092be374a9ed2a", "lessThan": "71d068490098b1d23c63b2345e40675d3a1ca763", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "dcbebc86850324fbe0a993ce352f0539cd98038a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "62980365d6e894234b29f44fb2bfad4f7f8bb824", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5.15.154", "lessThan": "5.16", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/nfsd/trace.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.0", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.109", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.50", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "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": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.160" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.109" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.50" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.4" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15.154" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15.154" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1c6a4d6c20fd42552ffc2c3dfaed2139c9477ee5" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/95d064f9828a20ccca5ae90a17be3e2076f25272" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ff8d6363cffff45654ea85e319f7c0c54226012" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/719a10e3f5f868c3c4ac3cf3648c5775d12034bd" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/71d068490098b1d23c63b2345e40675d3a1ca763" } ], "title": "nfsd: size fh_verify server sockaddr slot by xpt_locallen", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
