During message queue read, the address is being read twice
from the shared memory. The first read is validated against
the size of the packet, however the second read is not
being validated. Therefore, it's possible for firmware to
modify the value to a bigger invalid value which can lead
to OOB read access issue while reading the packet.
Added fix to reupdate the size of the packet which was
read for the first time.

This is confusing - where is the read

Your previous code

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250104-venus-security-fixes-v1-1-9d0dd4594cb4@xxxxxxxxxxx/

memcpy(pkt, (u32 *)(queue->qmem.kva + (rd_idx << 2)), sizeof(u32));

V1 then would have been:

if (new_rd_idx < qsize) {
    memcpy(pkt, rd_ptr, dwords << 2);
} else {
    size_t len;

    new_rd_idx -= qsize;
    len = (dwords - new_rd_idx) << 2;
    memcpy(pkt, rd_ptr, len);
    memcpy(pkt + len, queue->qmem.kva, new_rd_idx << 2);
}

+ memcpy(pkt, (u32 *)(queue->qmem.kva + (rd_idx << 2)), sizeof(u32));

V2 proposed:

if (new_rd_idx < qsize) {
    memcpy(pkt, rd_ptr, dwords << 2);
} else {
    size_t len;

    new_rd_idx -= qsize;
    len = (dwords - new_rd_idx) << 2;
    memcpy(pkt, rd_ptr, len);
    memcpy(pkt + len, queue->qmem.kva, new_rd_idx << 2);
}

+ *(u32 *)pkt = dwords << 2;

My comment wasn't about use of memcpy() it was about why we are doing this.

For example if new_rd_idx < qsize is true then we literally do

a) memcpy(pkt, rd_ptr, dwords << 2);
b) *(u32 *)pkt = dwords << 2;

and the question is why ? That is an unambiguous cast of pkt to the value of dwords << 2;

What is the scope of how the data can change from a to b ?

And why is the data considered potentially invalid @ the memcpy() but valid subsequent the cast ?

Assuming rd_ptr contains the length of dwords << 2 to begin with in the first 4 bytes - why is it necessary to make _really_ _really_ sure by restuffing the data ?

For example if *(u32 *)rd_ptr != dwords << 2 - why shouldn't we just throw the whole frame away as containing junk data ?
