Series socket: Check lengths before advancing pointer in CMSG_NXTHDR | expand

Commit Message

Arjun Shankar May 16, 2022, 9:03 p.m. UTC
The inline and library functions that the CMSG_NXTHDR macro may expand
to increment the pointer to the header before checking the stride of
the increment against available space.  Since C only allows incrementing
pointers to one past the end of an array, the increment must be done
after a length check.  This commit fixes that and includes a regression
test for CMSG_FIRSTHDR and CMSG_NXTHDR.

The Linux, Hurd, and generic headers are all changed.

Tested on Linux on armv7hl, i686, x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, and s390x.

OK.

There's an implicit assumption that __cmsg is between mhdr->msg_control 
and the end of that buffer.  Is that assumption valid or should you be 
explicitly checking that?  Also if you don't trust __cmsg->cmsg_len then 
technically CMSG_ALIGN (__cmsg->cmsg_len) + sizeof (struct cmsghdr) 
could still overflow, couldn't it?

ISTM that to be fully bulletproof you'd need this check to:

1. Confirm that __cmsg is within bounds of __mhdr->msg_control buffer 
and *then* use it in pointer arithmetic

2. Limit arithmetic to all buf __cmsg->cmsg_len if it cannot be trusted. 
  That is, something like:

__mhdr->msg_control + __mhdr->msg_controllen - __cmsg - sizeof (struct 
cmsghdr) - alignment_requirement(__cmsg->cmsg_len) < __cmsg->cmsg_len

with appropriate protection for overflows in the LHS.

Also maybe test some rogue cmsg_len values, e.g. that could cause the 
expression to wrap?
