"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nRDMA/mlx5: Fix integer overflow of user QP buffer size\n\nset_user_buf_size() computes the QP buffer size by left-shifting the\nuser-supplied rq.wqe_cnt and rq.wqe_shift values as signed integers.\nA sufficiently large rq.wqe_cnt causes signed integer overflow, which\nis undefined behavior, and yields a small or negative buf_size, causing\nib_umem_get() to map a buffer smaller than the hardware will actually\nwrite into.\n\nReplace the shifts and addition with check_shl_overflow() and\ncheck_add_overflow(), rejecting invalid user inputs.\n\nMoreover, guard the identical shift computing qp->sq.offset in\n_create_user_qp() before set_user_buf_size() is reached."

"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The overflowing inputs are mlx5_ib_create_qp.rq_wqe_count and rq_wqe_shift in driver udata, copied by ib_copy_from_udata() in mlx5_ib_create_qp() from a local write/ioctl on /dev/infiniband/uverbsN (IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_CREATE_QP / UVERBS_METHOD_QP_CREATE). A remote RoCE/InfiniBand peer does not supply those fields.\nAC:L - The attacker sets rq_wqe_count and rq_wqe_shift directly. set_rq_size() copies them into qp->rq without bounding wqe_cnt against log_max_qp_sz (only ib_uverbs_ex_create_qp.max_recv_wr is capped), so a small max_recv_wr plus a huge rq_wqe_count reliably overflows the signed wqe_cnt<<wqe_shift in set_user_buf_size() and the sq.offset shift in _create_user_qp().\nPR:L - ib_uverbs_open() and ib_uverbs_alloc_pd() have no capability check, and uverbs_devnode() creates /dev/infiniband/uverbs* as 0666. IB_QPT_RC CREATE_QP does not call rdma_uattrs_has_raw_cap() (that gate is only IB_QPT_RAW_PACKET), so an unprivileged local user with uverbs access can reach the overflow.\nUI:N - The attacker opens uverbs, allocates a PD and CQ, and issues CREATE_QP with crafted mlx5_ib_create_qp.rq_wqe_count/rq_wqe_shift. No other user must mount a device, open a file, or confirm the operation.\nS:U - The mismatch is between ib_umem_get_attr_or_va() pinning and the same process's mlx5 CREATE_QP WQ programming. Resulting DMA or kernel corruption stays in the host kernel that serves that uverbs file; it is not a guest-to-host or IOMMU cross-VM escape.\nC:H - A wrapped wqe_cnt<<wqe_shift produces a small ubuffer.buf_size, so ib_umem_get_attr_or_va() and mlx5_ib_populate_pas() register fewer pages than create_user_qp() programs via log_rq_size/log_rq_stride. The NIC then DMA-reads past the pinned QP buffer, disclosing kernel or other-process memory.\nI:H - The same undersized PAS versus programmed RQ size lets hardware DMA-write beyond the umem into adjacent physical pages, and a wrapped qp->sq.offset misplaces the send queue in the combined buffer. That is an out-of-bounds write usable for corruption and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Hardware accessing an RQ larger than the pinned umem, or firmware CREATE_QP with a truncated PAS list, causes IOMMU faults, device errors, or a kernel oops/panic; a negative overflowed buf_size passed to ib_umem_get_attr_or_va() as size_t can also fault during QP setup."
