[PATCH] net: sunrpc: fix slab-out-of-bounds read in cache_seq_start_rcu
From: Alessandro Zanni
Date: Tue Apr 28 2026 - 10:13:35 EST
Syzbot reported slab-out-of-bounds read in cache_seq_start_rcu().
The issue happens in function __cache_seq_start() when is invoked
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() and the hash value is greater than the
hash_size.
This fix verifies that the hash index is within the hash_size value
before dereferencing the hash table: if the hash index is out of
bounds return NULL, otherwise access the value.
Fixes: ae74136b4bb6 ("SUNRPC: Allow cache lookups to use RCU protection rather than the r/w spinlock")
