Subject: libata: fix length validation of ATAPI-relayed SCSI commands

From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>

commit 058f58e235cbe03e923b30ea7c49995a46a8725f upstream.

syzkaller reported a crash in ata_bmdma_fill_sg() when writing to /dev/sg1. The immediate cause was that the ATA command's scatterlist was not DMA-mapped, which causes 'pi - 1' to underflow, resulting in a write to 'qc->ap->bmdma_prd[0xffffffff]'.

Strangely though, the flag ATA_QCFLAG_DMAMAP was set in qc->flags. The root cause is that when __ata_scsi_queuecmd() is preparing to relay a SCSI command to an ATAPI device, it doesn't correctly validate the CDB length before copying it into the 16-byte buffer 'cdb' in 'struct ata_queued_cmd'. Namely, it validates the fixed CDB length expected based on the SCSI opcode but not the actual CDB length, which can be larger due to the use of the SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl. Since 'flags' is the next member in ata_queued_cmd, a buffer overflow corrupts it.

Fix it by requiring that the actual CDB length be <= 16 (ATAPI_CDB_LEN).

[Really it seems the length should be required to be <= dev->cdb_len, but the current behavior seems to have been intentionally introduced by commit 607126c2a21c ("libata-scsi: be tolerant of 12-byte ATAPI commands in 16-byte CDBs") to work around a userspace bug in mplayer. Probably the workaround is no longer needed (mplayer was fixed in 2007), but continuing to allow lengths to up 16 appears harmless for now.]

Here's a reproducer that works in QEMU when /dev/sg1 refers to the CD-ROM drive that qemu-system-x86_64 creates by default:

    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <sys/ioctl.h>
    #include <unistd.h>

    #define SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN 0x2283

    int main()
    {
	    char buf[53] = { [36] = 0x7e, [52] = 0x02 };
	    int fd = open("/dev/sg1", O_RDWR);
	    ioctl(fd, SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN, &(int){ 17 });
	    write(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
    }

The crash was:
