The current NETLINK_ISCSI netlink parsing loop checks every nlmsg to make
sure the length is bigger than sizeof(struct iscsi_uevent) and then calls
iscsi_if_recv_msg().
nlh = nlmsg_hdr(skb);
if (nlh->nlmsg_len < sizeof(*nlh) + sizeof(*ev) ||
skb->len < nlh->nlmsg_len) {
break;
}
...
err = iscsi_if_recv_msg(skb, nlh, &group);
Hence, in iscsi_if_recv_msg() the nlmsg_data can be safely converted to
iscsi_uevent as the length is already checked.
However, in other cases the length of nlattr payload is not checked before
the payload is converted to other data structures. One example is
iscsi_set_path() which converts the payload to type iscsi_path without any
checks:
params = (struct iscsi_path *)((char *)ev + sizeof(*ev));
Whereas iscsi_if_transport_conn() correctly checks the pdu_len:
pdu_len = nlh->nlmsg_len - sizeof(*nlh) - sizeof(*ev);
if ((ev->u.send_pdu.hdr_size > pdu_len) ..
err = -EINVAL;
To sum up, some code paths called in iscsi_if_recv_msg() do not check the
length of the data (see below picture) and directly convert the data to
another data structure. This could result in an out-of-bound reads and heap
dirty data leakage.

Fix the issue by adding the length check before accessing it. To clean up
the code, an additional parameter named rlen is added. The rlen is
calculated at the beginning of iscsi_if_recv_msg() which avoids duplicated
calculation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
