Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rxrpc: Fix missing validation of ticket length in non-XDR key preparsing In rxrpc_preparse(), there are two paths for parsing key payloads: the XDR path (for large payloads) and the non-XDR path (for payloads <= 28 bytes). While the XDR path (rxrpc_preparse_xdr_rxkad()) correctly validates the ticket length against AFSTOKEN_RK_TIX_MAX, the non-XDR path fails to do so. This allows an unprivileged user to provide a very large ticket length. When this key is later read via rxrpc_read(), the total token size (toksize) calculation results in a value that exceeds AFSTOKEN_LENGTH_MAX, triggering a WARN_ON(). [ 2001.302904] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 2108 at net/rxrpc/key.c:778 rxrpc_read+0x109/0x5c0 [rxrpc] Fix this by adding a check in the non-XDR parsing path of rxrpc_preparse() to ensure the ticket length does not exceed AFSTOKEN_RK_TIX_MAX, bringing it into parity with the XDR parsing logic.

While the XDR path (rxrpc_preparse_xdr_rxkad()) correctly\nvalidates the ticket length against AFSTOKEN_RK_TIX_MAX, the non-XDR\npath fails to do so.\n\nThis allows an unprivileged user to provide a very large ticket length.\nWhen this key is later read via rxrpc_read(), the total\ntoken size (toksize) calculation results in a value that exceeds\nAFSTOKEN_LENGTH_MAX, triggering a WARN_ON().\n\n[ 2001.302904] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 2108 at net/rxrpc/key.c:778 rxrpc_read+0x109/0x5c0 [rxrpc]\n\nFix this by adding a check in the non-XDR parsing path of rxrpc_preparse()\nto ensure the ticket length does not exceed AFSTOKEN_RK_TIX_MAX,\nbringing it into parity with the XDR parsing logic."
