Title
scsi: target: iscsi: Fix CRC overread and double-free in iscsit_handle_text_cmd()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: target: iscsi: Fix CRC overread and double-free in iscsit_handle_text_cmd() Two latent bugs in the Text-phase handler, both present since the original LIO integration in commit e48354ce078c ("iscsi-target: Add iSCSI fabric support for target v4.1"): 1) DataDigest CRC buffer overread (4 bytes past text_in). text_in is kzalloc()'d at ALIGN(payload_length, 4). rx_size is then incremented by ISCSI_CRC_LEN to make room for the received DataDigest in the iovec, but the same (now-bumped) rx_size is passed as the buffer length to iscsit_crc_buf(): if (conn->conn_ops->DataDigest) { ... rx_size += ISCSI_CRC_LEN; } ... if (conn->conn_ops->DataDigest) { data_crc = iscsit_crc_buf(text_in, rx_size, 0, NULL); iscsit_crc_buf() walks rx_size bytes of text_in with crc32c(), so when DataDigest is negotiated it reads 4 bytes past the end of the text_in allocation. KASAN reproduces this directly on the unpatched mainline tree as slab-out-of-bounds in crc32c() called from the Text PDU path. The OOB bytes feed crc32c() and are then compared against the initiator-supplied checksum, so the value does not flow back to the attacker, but the kernel does read past the buffer on every Text PDU with DataDigest=CRC32C. Fix by passing the actual padded payload length (ALIGN(payload_length, 4)) that was used for the kzalloc(). 2) Stale cmd->text_in_ptr re-free (double-free) on ERL>0 bad DataDigest drop. On DataDigest mismatch with ErrorRecoveryLevel > 0 the handler silently drops the PDU and lets the initiator plug the CmdSN gap: kfree(text_in); return 0; cmd->text_in_ptr still points at the freed buffer. The next Text Request on the same ITT re-enters iscsit_setup_text_cmd(), which unconditionally does kfree(cmd->text_in_ptr); cmd->text_in_ptr = NULL; freeing the same pointer a second time. Session teardown via iscsit_release_cmd() has the same shape and hits the same double-free if the connection is dropped before a second Text Request arrives. On an unmodified mainline tree the bug-1 CRC overread fires first on the initial valid Text Request and perturbs the subsequent state, so #4 was isolated by building a kernel with only the bug-1 hunk of this patch applied plus temporary printk() observability around the three relevant kfree() sites. The observability prints are not part of this patch. On that build, a three-PDU Text Request sequence after login produces two back-to-back splats: BUG: KASAN: double-free in iscsit_setup_text_cmd+0x?? BUG: KASAN: double-free in iscsit_release_cmd+0x?? showing the same pointer freed in the ERL>0 drop path and again in iscsit_setup_text_cmd() (next Text Request on the same ITT) and once more in iscsit_release_cmd() (session teardown). On distro kernels with CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED=y (default) the double-free becomes a remote kernel BUG(); on non-hardened kernels it corrupts the slab freelist. Fix by clearing cmd->text_in_ptr after the kfree() in the ERL>0 drop path. With both hunks applied #4 is directly observable on the stock tree without observability printks; fixing bug-1 alone would mask #4 less, not more, so the hunks are submitted together. Both fixes are one-liners. The Text PDU state machine is unchanged and the wire protocol is unaffected.

KASAN reproduces this directly on the unpatched\\n   mainline tree as slab-out-of-bounds in crc32c() called from the Text\\n   PDU path.  The OOB bytes feed crc32c() and are then compared against\\n   the initiator-supplied checksum, so the value does not flow back to\\n   the attacker, but the kernel does read past the buffer on every Text\\n   PDU with DataDigest=CRC32C.\\n\\n   Fix by passing the actual padded payload length\\n   (ALIGN(payload_length, 4)) that was used for the kzalloc().\\n\\n2) Stale cmd-\u003etext_in_ptr re-free (double-free) on ERL\u003e0 bad DataDigest\\n   drop.\\n\\n   On DataDigest mismatch with ErrorRecoveryLevel \u003e 0 the handler\\n   silently drops the PDU and lets the initiator plug the CmdSN gap:\\n\\n               kfree(text_in);\\n               return 0;\\n\\n   cmd-\u003etext_in_ptr still points at the freed buffer.  The next Text\\n   Request on the same ITT re-enters iscsit_setup_text_cmd(), which\\n   unconditionally does\\n\\n       kfree(cmd-\u003etext_in_ptr);\\n       cmd-\u003etext_in_ptr = NULL;\\n\\n   freeing the same pointer a second time.  Session teardown via\\n   iscsit_release_cmd() has the same shape and hits the same double-free\\n   if the connection is dropped before a second Text Request arrives.\\n\\n   On an unmodified mainline tree the bug-1 CRC overread fires first on\\n   the initial valid Text Request and perturbs the subsequent state, so\\n   #4 was isolated by building a kernel with only the bug-1 hunk of this\\n   patch applied plus temporary printk() observability around the three\\n   relevant kfree() sites.  The observability prints are not part of\\n   this patch.  On that build, a three-PDU Text Request sequence after\\n   login produces two back-to-back splats:\\n\\n       BUG: KASAN: double-free in iscsit_setup_text_cmd+0x??\\n       BUG: KASAN: double-free in iscsit_release_cmd+0x??\\n\\n   showing the same pointer freed in the ERL\u003e0 drop path and again in\\n   iscsit_setup_text_cmd() (next Text Request on the same ITT) and once\\n   more in iscsit_release_cmd() (session teardown).  On distro kernels\\n   with CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED=y (default) the double-free\\n   becomes a remote kernel BUG(); on non-hardened kernels it corrupts\\n   the slab freelist.\\n\\n   Fix by clearing cmd-\u003etext_in_ptr after the kfree() in the ERL\u003e0 drop\\n   path.  With both hunks applied #4 is directly observable on the stock\\n   tree without observability printks; fixing bug-1 alone would mask #4\\n   less, not more, so the hunks are submitted together.\\n\\nBoth fixes are one-liners.
