CVE-2022-49321

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xprtrdma: treat all calls not a bcall when bc_serv is NULL

When a rdma server returns a fault format reply, nfs v3 client may treats it as a bcall when bc service is not exist.

The debug message at rpcrdma_bc_receive_call are,

[56579.837169] RPC: rpcrdma_bc_receive_call: callback XID 00000001, length=20 [56579.837174] RPC: rpcrdma_bc_receive_call: 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04

After that, rpcrdma_bc_receive_call will meets NULL pointer as,

[ 226.057890] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000c8 … [ 226.058704] RIP: 0010:_raw_spin_lock+0xc/0x20 … [ 226.059732] Call Trace: [ 226.059878] rpcrdma_bc_receive_call+0x138/0x327 [rpcrdma] [ 226.060011] __ib_process_cq+0x89/0x170 [ib_core] [ 226.060092] ib_cq_poll_work+0x26/0x80 [ib_core] [ 226.060257] process_one_work+0x1a7/0x360 [ 226.060367] ? create_worker+0x1a0/0x1a0 [ 226.060440] worker_thread+0x30/0x390 [ 226.060500] ? create_worker+0x1a0/0x1a0 [ 226.060574] kthread+0x116/0x130 [ 226.060661] ? kthread_flush_work_fn+0x10/0x10 [ 226.060724] ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40 …

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
