Descriptions

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

net/mlx5e: Wrap the tx reporter dump callback to extract the sq

Function mlx5e_tx_reporter_dump_sq() casts its void * argument to struct
mlx5e_txqsq *, but in TX-timeout-recovery flow the argument is actually
of type struct mlx5e_tx_timeout_ctx *.

To fix this bug add a wrapper for mlx5e_tx_reporter_dump_sq() which
extracts the sq from struct mlx5e_tx_timeout_ctx and set it as the
TX-timeout-recovery flow dump callback.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net/mlx5e: envuelve la devolución de llamada del volcado de tx reporter para extraer el sq. La función mlx5e_tx_reporter_dump_sq() lanza su argumento void * a la estructura mlx5e_txqsq *, pero en el flujo TX-timeout-recovery el argumento en realidad es de tipo struct mlx5e_tx_timeout_ctx *. mlx5_core 0000: 08: 00.1 enp8s0f1: tx timeout detectado mlx5_core 0000: 08: 00.1 enp8s0f1: tx timeout en cola: 1, sq: 0x11ec, cq: 0x146d, sq consecuencia: 0x0 sq prod: 0x1, usecs desde el último trans: 21565000 : la página de protección de pila fue visitada en 0000000093f1a2de (la pila es 00000000b66ea0dc..000000004d932dae) Desbordamiento de pila del kernel (fallo de página): 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI CPU: 5 PID: 95 Comm: kworker/u20:1 Contaminado: GW OE 5.13. 0_mlnx #1 Nombre del hardware: PC estándar QEMU (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 01/04/2014 Cola de trabajo: mlx5e mlx5e_tx_timeout_work [mlx5_core] RIP: 0010:mlx5e_tx_reporter_ volcado_sq +0xd3/0x180 [mlx5_core] Seguimiento de llamadas: mlx5e_tx_reporter_dump+0x43/0x1c0 [mlx5_core] devlink_health_do_dump.part.91+0x71/0xd0 devlink_health_report+0x157/0x1b0 mlx5e_reporter_tx_timeout+0xb9/0xf0 [ml x5_core] ? mlx5e_tx_reporter_err_cqe_recover+0x1d0/0x1d0 [mlx5_core] ? mlx5e_health_queue_dump+0xd0/0xd0 [mlx5_core] ? update_load_avg+0x19b/0x550? set_next_entity+0x72/0x80? pick_next_task_fair+0x227/0x340?
