In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: cap decoded POSIX ACL count to bound sort cost
nfsd4_decode_posixacl() reads a u32 entry count off the wire and passes
it straight to posix_acl_alloc() and sort_pacl_range(). The latter is
an O(n^2) bubble sort, so a client-chosen count drives unbounded CPU in
the server's compound processing path.
nfsd4_decode_posixacl()
xdr_stream_decode_u32(&count) /* uncapped u32 */
posix_acl_alloc(count, GFP_KERNEL)
sort_pacl_range(acl, 0, count - 1) / O(n^2) bubble sort */
The encoder side in the same file already rejects ACLs whose a_count
exceeds NFS_ACL_MAX_ENTRIES, but the decoder introduced in commit
5fc51dfc2eb1 ("NFSD: Add support for XDR decoding POSIX draft ACLs")
omitted the symmetric check.
Fix by rejecting a wire count greater than NFS_ACL_MAX_ENTRIES with
nfserr_inval, before any allocation, so the sort is bounded by
NFS_ACL_MAX_ENTRIES^2 comparisons.
While we're in here, also fix the nfserr_resource return if
posix_acl_alloc() fails. That's not a legal error code for v4.1+. Change
it to return nfserr_jukebox as that's more appropriate for memory
allocation failures.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Network File System Daemon (nfsd). The nfsd4_decode_posixacl() function, responsible for decoding POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs), does not properly cap the entry count received from a client. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted ACL with an excessively large entry count, leading to unbounded CPU usage during an O(n^2) sorting operation. This can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected server.
