svcrdma: Fix pcl_for_each_segment for empty chunks
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: svcrdma: Fix pcl_for_each_segment for empty chunks When a parsed chunk list contains a chunk whose ch_segcount is zero, pcl_for_each_segment computes its inclusive upper bound as &chunk->ch_segments[ch_segcount - 1]. ch_segcount is u32, so the subtraction wraps to 0xFFFFFFFF and the bound lands far past the ch_segments flex array. The loop body then walks unrelated memory at sizeof(struct svc_rdma_segment) stride until it faults. A zero-segcount chunk is reachable from the wire: xdr_check_write_chunk() only rejects segcount values greater than rc_maxpages, and pcl_alloc_write() links a freshly allocated chunk onto rc_write_pcl/rc_reply_pcl before its segment-fill loop runs, so a Write or Reply chunk advertising zero segments leaves ch_segcount == 0 on the list. When the transport has negotiated Send-With-Invalidate, svc_rdma_get_inv_rkey() iterates all four PCLs with pcl_for_each_segment and dereferences segment->rs_handle on each iteration, turning the underflow into an out-of-bounds read and a general protection fault. xdr_check_write_list / xdr_check_reply_chunk pcl_alloc_write() chunk = pcl_alloc_chunk(...) /* ch_segcount = 0 */ list_add_tail(&chunk->ch_list, &pcl->cl_chunks) /* fill loop iterates zero times for wire segcount 0 */ svc_rdma_get_inv_rkey() pcl_for_each_chunk(rc_write_pcl) pcl_for_each_segment(segment, chunk) pos <= &ch_segments[0u - 1u] /* 0xFFFFFFFF */ segment->rs_handle /* OOB read -> GPF
