Subject: af_key: fix buffer overread in parse_exthdrs()
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4e765b4972af7b07adcb1feb16e7a525ce1f6b28 upstream.
If a message sent to a PF_KEY socket ended with an incomplete extension
header (fewer than 4 bytes remaining), then parse_exthdrs() read past
the end of the message, into uninitialized memory. Fix it by returning
-EINVAL in this case.
Reproducer:
#include <linux/pfkeyv2.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
int sock = socket(PF_KEY, SOCK_RAW, PF_KEY_V2);
char buf[17] = { 0 };
struct sadb_msg *msg = (void *)buf;
msg->sadb_msg_version = PF_KEY_V2;
msg->sadb_msg_type = SADB_DELETE;
msg->sadb_msg_len = 2;
write(sock, buf, 17);
}
