Subject: CVE Request: OFED 1.5.2 /proc/net/sdpstats reading local denial of service/crash
Hi,
One of our customers reported an issue in the "ib_sdp" module in the
ofa_kernel package of the Open Fabrics OFED Infiband driverstack, version
1.5.2 (and potentially older, I did not check in detail, at least 1.4.2
does not have it).
Module is drivers/infiniband/ulp/sdp/ib_sdp.ko
/proc/net/sdpstats is user readable (S_IRUGO | S_IWUGO), so it can be
triggered by users on machines with infiniband stack.
While there is report of stack corruption and overflow on process (cat
/proc/net/sdpstats) exit ("Thread overran stack, or stack corrupted"),
I can't see where it actually comes from but perhaps the per_cpu vs
single variable printing does something to the stack and not just reads
over arrays.
ofed 1.5.3.2 has a different stat printing algorith according to our developer,
so it no longer is affected.
Patch below. Please assign a CVE.
Ciao, Marcus

Subject: [PATCH] Correct /proc/net/sdpstats variables
A couple of variables are treated as arrays while printing
/proc/net/sdpstats, while they are actually single variables.
This leads to stack/memory corruption and a kernel crash.
Correct dealing of these variables in sdpstats_seq_show()
