This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSD: Protect against send buffer overflow in NFSv2 READ to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: nfsd-protect-against-send-buffer-overflow-in-nfsv2-r.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2c5dc7c14fac1506fa8ae9ce8eb3626fc6df0b12 Author: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 1 15:10:18 2022 -0400 NFSD: Protect against send buffer overflow in NFSv2 READ [ Upstream commit 401bc1f90874280a80b93f23be33a0e7e2d1f912 ] Since before the git era, NFSD has conserved the number of pages held by each nfsd thread by combining the RPC receive and send buffers into a single array of pages. This works because there are no cases where an operation needs a large RPC Call message and a large RPC Reply at the same time. Once an RPC Call has been received, svc_process() updates svc_rqst::rq_res to describe the part of rq_pages that can be used for constructing the Reply. This means that the send buffer (rq_res) shrinks when the received RPC record containing the RPC Call is large. A client can force this shrinkage on TCP by sending a correctly- formed RPC Call header contained in an RPC record that is excessively large. The full maximum payload size cannot be constructed in that case.
