A hostile or buggy target\nreporting an rsp_info_len larger than par_sense_len makes the unsigned\nsubtraction underflow to a huge value and advances sense_data out of\nbounds.\n\nThe underflowed par_sense_len then defeats the cap in\nqla2x00_handle_sense():\n\n\tif (sense_len > par_sense_len)\n\t\tsense_len = par_sense_len;\n\tmemcpy(cp->sense_buffer, sense_data, sense_len);\n\nso the memcpy reads up to SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE bytes from the\nout-of-bounds sense_data pointer, leaking adjacent response-ring/heap\nmemory into the command's sense buffer.\n\nClamp rsp_info_len to par_sense_len before the subtraction so\npar_sense_len can never underflow and sense_data stays within the IOCB\ndata area.

Fibre Channel or FCoE target's FCP_RSP; QLogic CNAs speak FCoE and SAN fabrics are stretched across sites via FCIP/inter-fabric routing, so a malicious or compromised target delivers the crafted rsp_data_len over the storage network with no local access.\nAC:L - A hostile target fully controls FCP_RSP (SS_RESPONSE_INFO_LEN_VALID, rsp_data_len, sense_len, CHECK CONDITION, rsp_info[3]==0) and can return them on ordinary initiator I/O such as INQUIRY during fabric scan; no race, rare config, or victim state beyond a FWI2-capable HBA is required.\nPR:N - Completions are handled in the HBA interrupt/response-queue path (qla24xx_process_response_queue to qla2x00_status_entry) with no Linux credential or capability check; the attacker only needs to act as an FC/FCoE target on the fabric.\nUI:N - Once the target is visible on the fabric, the SCSI midlayer automatically issues commands (scan, path checks, mounted-filesystem I/O) whose STATUS_TYPE completions take the vulnerable path; no user mount, open, or other interactive step is required at exploit time.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read and any resulting oops stay inside the host kernel that owns the qla2xxx driver and do not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other separate security authority.\nC:H - Attacker-controlled 32-bit rsp_info_len advances sense_data out of the 28-byte IOCB data area and underflows par_sense_len so qla2x00_handle_sense() copies up to SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE (96) bytes of adjacent response-ring or kernel memory into the command sense buffer, which userspace can read via SCSI completion, SG_IO, and BSG.\nI:N - The memcpy destination is the in-bounds SCSI sense buffer already capped at SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE; this is a source over-read only, with no out-of-bounds write, use-after-free, or control-flow hijack primitive.\nA:H - Adding a 32-bit attacker-chosen rsp_info_len to sense_data yields a wild kernel pointer; memcpy from an unmapped address in the interrupt-context response-queue path oopses or panics the host, and the target can repeat this on every command." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
