In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: Bound PR-OUT TransportID parsing to the received buffer
core_scsi3_decode_spec_i_port() and core_scsi3_emulate_register_and_move()
hand the raw PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT parameter buffer to
target_parse_pr_out_transport_id() without telling it how many bytes are
valid. For an iSCSI TransportID (FORMAT CODE 01b),
iscsi_parse_pr_out_transport_id() locates the ",i,0x" ISID separator with
an unbounded strstr() (and on the error path prints the name with a further
unbounded "%s"). An initiator can submit a TransportID whose iSCSI name
contains neither a ",i,0x" substring nor a NUL terminator, filling the
parameter list to its end, so the scan runs off the end of the buffer.
When the parameter list spans more than one page the buffer is a multi-page
vmap (transport_kmap_data_sg()), so the over-read walks into the trailing
vmalloc guard page and oopses (KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in strstr). It
is reachable by any fabric that delivers a PR OUT to a device exported
through an iSCSI TPG, including a guest via vhost-scsi.
Pass the number of received bytes down to the parser and validate the iSCSI
TransportID's own self-described length (ADDITIONAL LENGTH + 4) once, up
front: reject it if it is below the spc4r17 minimum or larger than the
received buffer, then bound the separator search, the ISID walk and the
name copy by that length. This is the length check the callers already
perform after the parse (core_scsi3_decode_spec_i_port() compares tid_len
against tpdl, core_scsi3_emulate_register_and_move() validates it against
data_length), moved ahead of the scan. Also drop the unbounded "%s" of the
unterminated name.
Add per-format explicit name-length checks before copying into i_str,
rather than silently truncating with min_t: for FORMAT CODE 00b reject if
the descriptor body (tid_len - 4 bytes) cannot fit in
i_str[TRANSPORT_IQN_LEN]; for FORMAT CODE 01b reject if the name portion
(from &buf[4] up to the separator) cannot fit. Both checks make the bounds
intent explicit at each format branch.
While here, also reject a FORMAT CODE 01b TransportID whose ",i,0x"
separator sits at the very end of the descriptor: that leaves an empty ISID
and points the returned port nexus pointer at buf + tid_len, one past the
descriptor, which the registration code (__core_scsi3_locate_pr_reg(),
__core_scsi3_alloc_registration()) then dereferences as the ISID string --
the same over-read of the parameter buffer for a malformed descriptor.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SCSI target subsystem. An attacker, by submitting a specially crafted iSCSI TransportID during a PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT operation, could cause an out-of-bounds read. This vulnerability, which occurs due to unbounded parsing of the TransportID, can lead to a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). This can be exploited by a remote attacker or a guest in a virtualized environment.
Отчет
An out-of-bounds read in the SCSI target PR OUT TransportID parser can occur because the iSCSI TransportID parser processes attacker-controlled descriptor data without knowing the number of bytes actually received. For FORMAT CODE 01b, iscsi_parse_pr_out_transport_id() previously used an unbounded strstr() to locate the ",i,0x" separator between the iSCSI initiator name and ISID. A malformed TransportID containing neither the expected separator nor a NUL terminator can therefore cause the search to continue beyond the end of the PR OUT parameter buffer. Additional unbounded string handling on error and insufficient validation of the descriptor's self-reported length can extend the same out-of-bounds access condition.
When the PR OUT parameter list spans multiple pages, transport_kmap_data_sg() can map the buffer as a multi-page vmap. An unbounded scan beyond the supplied data may then reach the trailing vmalloc guard page, resulting in a kernel page fault and oops. The demonstrated impact is therefore a kernel crash and denial of service.
The affected parser is reachable through fabrics that can deliver a crafted PR OUT request to a device exported through an iSCSI target portal group (TPG). The same target-core path can also be exposed across virtualization boundaries, including guest-to-host configurations using vhost-scsi. Consequently, exploitation does not necessarily require local code execution or privileges on the affected host. For a network-exposed iSCSI target, a remote initiator capable of reaching the exported storage can potentially supply the malformed TransportID directly. In practice, exposure is commonly restricted to storage, virtualization, or otherwise trusted internal networks, which substantially limits the attack surface compared with a generally exposed network service.
The directly demonstrated security impact is availability loss (A:H) through a host kernel crash. No attacker-visible information disclosure, controlled out-of-bounds write, privilege escalation, or arbitrary code execution has been demonstrated. However, because the vulnerable code performs unbounded parsing of attacker-controlled data and subsequently operates on pointers derived from that parsing, additional memory-safety impact cannot be completely excluded and can be considered in a paranoid assessment or manual review.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent module iscsi_target_mod from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
