[PATCH v6 4/5] scsi: mvumi: reject handshake sizes that overflow the list allocations

From: Yehyeong Lee

Date: Wed Oct 14 2026 - 12:56:30 EST


mvumi_hs_process_page() takes max_io, the two command entry sizes and the
list depth from the firmware handshake page. The entry sizes are u8 fields
used as shift counts, and 1 is an int, so a count of 29 or more makes the
<< 2 applied to the shift overflow an int; a count of 32 or more is
undefined outright. max_io is a u16, and the sizes derived from the shifts
are multiplied by it in mvumi_init_data() to size three unsigned int
allocations, so a large entry size wraps the product and the loops that
follow then walk and write past the short allocation. The list depth is
used as a shift count too, but only when the firmware sets
HS_CAPABILITY_NEW_PAGE_IO_DEPTH_DEF; a count of 32 or more is undefined
there as well. Nothing bounds the entry sizes from below either, and an
entry has to hold what the driver puts in it: a command frame and at least
one scatter-gather element going in, a response frame and sense data coming
back. An entry size of 32 bytes or less makes mvumi_internal_cmd_sgl()
write its element past an inbound entry, since it writes one whatever
host->sg_tablesize says, and makes mvumi_complete_cmd() read sense data
past an outbound one; it also makes the max_sg subtraction in
mvumi_io_attach() wrap, which hands mvumi_build_frame() and
mvumi_send_command() a table size no entry can hold. The depth also sets
how many entries the inbound and outbound rings hold, and the per-command
slot index wraps on that count while the rings are allocated for max_io
entries, so a depth yielding more entries than max_io -- or none -- walks
the index past them. max_devices_support sizes the target_map bitmap in
the same allocation, and it is a u16 while mvumi_build_frame() packs the
target id into the low byte of device_id and the LUN into the high byte, so
a target of 256 or more aliases another device's LUN; it is also what makes
the unsigned char loop counter in mvumi_flush_cache() wrap before it
reaches the bound, which never ends that loop. A host reset runs the
handshake again, but mvumi_init_data() returns early once MVUMI_FW_ALLOC is
set, so the buffers keep the sizes they were allocated with while the newly
reported values drive the indexing: mvumi_flush_cache() then reads
target_map past its end and mvumi_sdev_configure() sets a bit past it. The
handshake is retried as well, because mvumi_handshake_event() discards the
error, so a page that was already rejected can be presented again.

Reject an entry size above 29, which keeps 1U << n and the shift that
follows it inside an unsigned int, and reject one too small to hold those
frames. Reject a device count the frame layout cannot address, which also
keeps mvumi_flush_cache() terminating. Then compute the worst-case
allocation size in u64 at the top of mvumi_init_data() and reject it if it
does not fit an unsigned int. That total bounds all three allocations: the
inbound list total, the outbound data pool and the tag arrays, whose sizes
are the same products plus smaller terms. Reject a list depth of 32 or
more on the shifted path so the shift stays defined, and reject a resulting
entry count that is zero or above max_io so the slot index cannot walk past
the rings. The shifts also use 1U now so that a legal count cannot
overflow an int. Take the page's values into locals and run every check on
those, with READ_ONCE() for the three shift counts so the value that is
checked is the value that is shifted; a second fetch of the entry size
could turn a count of 29 into one of 31, and a second fetch of the list
depth could turn 31 into 32, which is the undefined shift the check exists
to stop. Once MVUMI_FW_ALLOC is set the buffers already exist, so only
check that no reported size, max_devices_support included, is larger than
the one its buffer was allocated for, and leave the size fields alone: they
already hold the sizes those buffers have. Only the first handshake, whose
values size the allocations, assigns them.

No realistic controller is rejected: one reporting 4096 commands with 64
KiB entries and a depth of 12 needs 512 MiB and passes unchanged. The
device count is the one new bound that could turn a controller away, and a
controller reporting more than 255 devices is already one this driver
cannot address.
