Title
libnvdimm/labels: Prevent integer overflow in __nd_label_validate()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: libnvdimm/labels: Prevent integer overflow in __nd_label_validate() The on-media namespace index field nslot is a u32 read from the DIMM label storage area. __nd_label_validate() bounds it against the config area size, but sizeof_namespace_label() returns unsigned, so the product nslot * label_size is evaluated in 32-bit and wraps modulo 2^32 before the comparison. A crafted nslot passes the bound and is then used as the loop trip count in nd_label_data_init(), whose memset() walks off the end of the config_size buffer: an out-of-bounds write. The field is not trusted -- it comes from the medium, or from userspace via ND_CMD_SET_CONFIG_DATA. Evaluate the product in 64-bit so the bound check is exact; conforming labels are unaffected. The check was safe when introduced by commit 4a826c83db4e ("libnvdimm: namespace indices: read and validate"): it multiplied by sizeof(struct nd_namespace_label), a size_t, so on a 64-bit build the product did not wrap. Commit 564e871aa66f ("libnvdimm, label: add v1.2 nvdimm label definitions") narrowed it to 32 bits when the label size became a runtime value read via sizeof_namespace_label().

A crafted nslot passes the bound and is then used as the\nloop trip count in nd_label_data_init(), whose memset() walks off the end\nof the config_size buffer: an out-of-bounds write.\n\nThe field is not trusted -- it comes from the medium, or from userspace\nvia ND_CMD_SET_CONFIG_DATA.  Evaluate the product in 64-bit so the bound\ncheck is exact; conforming labels are unaffected.\n\nThe check was safe when introduced by commit 4a826c83db4e (\"libnvdimm:\nnamespace indices: read and validate\"): it multiplied by sizeof(struct\nnd_namespace_label), a size_t, so on a 64-bit build the product did not\nwrap.  Commit 564e871aa66f (\"libnvdimm, label: add v1.2 nvdimm label\ndefinitions\") narrowed it to 32 bits when the label size became a runtime\nvalue read via sizeof_namespace_label()."

A crafted nslot passes the bound and is then used as the\nloop trip count in nd_label_data_init(), whose memset() walks off the end\nof the config_size buffer: an out-of-bounds write.\n\nThe field is not trusted -- it comes from the medium, or from userspace\nvia ND_CMD_SET_CONFIG_DATA.  Evaluate the product in 64-bit so the bound\ncheck is exact; conforming labels are unaffected.\n\nThe check was safe when introduced by commit 4a826c83db4e (\"libnvdimm:\nnamespace indices: read and validate\"): it multiplied by sizeof(struct\nnd_namespace_label), a size_t, so on a 64-bit build the product did not\nwrap.  Commit 564e871aa66f (\"libnvdimm, label: add v1.2 nvdimm label\ndefinitions\") narrowed it to 32 bits when the label size became a runtime\nvalue read via sizeof_namespace_label()."

No race or uninfluenceable layout is required.\nPR:L - nd_open(), __nd_ioctl(), and nd_cmd_clear_to_send() perform no capable() check; SET_CONFIG_DATA is gated only by O_RDWR on /dev/nmem* (typically 0660 disk via udev). Any local account, disk-group user, or container granted that node can plant the malicious index that probe later consumes.\nUI:N - The attacker plants the crafted index from their own process and the OOB write runs in nd_label_data_init() on the ordinary dimm probe/bind path they drive with ndctl write-labels/enable; no separate victim action such as mounting a filesystem is required.\nS:U - The kvzalloc out-of-bounds write corrupts kernel heap inside the same kernel security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - The memset() loop is an unbounded heap out-of-bounds write whose distance is set by the attacker-chosen nslot (128/256-byte stores marching far past the config buffer). Corruption of adjacent heap objects can be turned into an arbitrary-read primitive, not a leak bounded to a few bytes.\nI:H - Each free-slot iteration does memset(ndd-\u003edata+offset, 0, label_size) with offset advancing past config_size, which is a kernel heap out-of-bounds write that can corrupt adjacent objects and hijack control flow.\nA:H - The same walk writes tens of megabytes past the kvzalloc buffer and will oops or panic on unmapped pages or corrupted kernel state; any such kernel crash is High availability impact."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
