When we get statistics by ethtool during changing the number of NIC
channels greater, the utility may crash due to memory corruption.
The NIC drivers callback get_sset_count() could return a calculated
length depends on current number of channels (e.g. i40e, igb).
The ethtool allocates a user buffer with the first ioctl returned
length and invokes the second ioctl to get data. The kernel copies
data to the user buffer but without checking its length. If the length
returned by the second get_sset_count() is greater than the length
allocated by the user, it will lead to an out-of-bounds copy.
Fix it by restricting the copy length not exceed the buffer length
specified by userspace.

The drivers shouldn't be changing that value. If the drivers are doing
this they should be fixed to provide a fixed length in terms of their
strings.

Changing the copy size would not fix this. The problem is the driver
will be overwriting with the size that it thinks it should be using.
Reducing the value that is provided for the memory allocations will
cause the driver to corrupt memory.

This is the wrong spot to be doing this. You need to use test_len for
your allocation as that is what the driver will be writing to. You
should look at adjusting after the allocation call and before you do
the copy

Same here. We should be using the returned value for the allocations

Same here. We should be using n_stats, not stats.n_stats and adjust
before you do the final copy.

Again. I am not sure what value is being added. If n_stats is 0 then I
am pretty sure this will do nothing anyway.

Is there an explicit declaration for the rule?
I searched the ethernet drivers, found that many drivers that support
multiple queues return calculated length by number of queues rather than
fixed value. So pushing all these drivers to follow the rule is hard
to me.

I noticed that, in fact I did use the returned length to allocate
kernel memory, and only use adjusted length to copy to user.

Yes, we already checked the data ptr is not NULL, so we don't need checking test.len.

Not really no, n_stats is returned value, and stats.n_stats is adjusted value,
if the adjusted stats.n_stats is 0, we avoid memory allocation and setting data ptr
to NULL, copy_to_user() with NULL ptr maybe cause warn log.

This is also something i checked when quickly looking at the patch. It
does look correct.
Also, RTNL should be held during the time both calls are made into the
driver. So nothing from userspace should be able to get in the middle
of these calls to change the number of queues.

Yes, exactly. So the kernel should be safe from buffer overruns.
Userspace will not get more than it asked for. It might get less, and
it could be different to the previous calls. But i'm not aware of
anything which says anything about the consistency between different
invocations of ethtool -S.

Ah, okay I hadn't noticed that part. Although that leads me to the
question of if any of the drivers might be modifying the length values
stored in the structures. We may want to add a new stack variable to
track what the clamped value is for these rather than just leaving the
value stored in the structure.

One other thought on this. Would we ever expect the length value to
change? For many of these I wonder if we shouldn't just return an
error in the case that there isn't enough space to store the test
results.
It might make sense to look at adding a return of ENOSPC or EFBIG when
we encounter a size difference where our output is too big for the
provided userspace buffer. At least with that we are not losing data.

I see now. So data is NULL if stats.n_stats is 0.

The problem is the userspace allocation ends up requiring we make two
calls into the stack. So it takes the lock once to get the count,
performs the allocation, and then calls into ethtool again taking the
lock and by then the value may have changed.
Within each call it is held the entire time, but the userspace has to
make two calls. So in between the two the number of rings could
potentially change.
What this change is essentially doing is clamping the copied data to
the lesser of the current value versus the value when the userspace
was allocated. However I am wondering now if we shouldn't just update
the size value and return that as some sort of error for the userspace
to potentially reallocate and repeat until it has the right size.

I'm not sure we should be putting any effort into the IOCTL
interface. It is deprecated. We should fix overrun problems, but i
would not change the API. Netlink handles this atomically, and that is
the interface tools should be using, not this IOCTL.

If that is the case maybe it would just make more sense to just return
an error if we are at risk of overrunning the userspace allocated
buffer.

In that case, I can modify to return an error, however, I think the
ENOSPC or EFBIG mentioned in a previous email may not be suitable,
maybe like others length/size checking return EINVAL.
Another thing I wondered is that should I update the current length
back to user if user buffer is not enough, assuming we update the new
length with error returned, the userspace can use it to reallocate
buffer if he wants to, which can avoid re-call previous ioctl to get
the new length.

This entire thread presupposes that user provides the length of
the buffer. I don't see that in the code. Take ethtool_get_stats()
as an example, you assume that stats.n_stats is set correctly,
but it's not enforced today. Some app somewhere may pass in zeroed
out stats and work just fine.

Yes.
I checked the others ioctl (e.g. ethtool_get_eeprom(), ethtool_get_features()),
and searched the git log of ethtool utility, so I think that is an implicit
rule and the check is missed in kernel where the patch involves.
Without this rule, we cannot guarantee the safety of copy to user.
Should we keep to be compatible with that incorrect userspace usage?

If such incorrect user space exists we do, if it doesn't we don't.
Problem is that we don't know what exists out there.
Maybe we can add a pr_err_once() complaining about bad usage for now
and see if anyone reports back that they are hitting it?

How about this:
Case 1:
If the user len/n_stats is not zero, we will treat it as correct usage
(although we cannot distinguish between the real correct usage and
uninitialized usage). Return -EINVAL if current length exceed the one
user specified.
Case 2:
If it is zero, we will treat it as incorrect usage, we can add a
pr_err_once() for it and keep to be compatible with it for a period of time.
At a suitable time in the future, this part can be removed by maintainers.

This assumes user will zero-initialize the value rather than do
something like:
buf = malloc(1 << 16); // 64k should always be enough
ioctl(s, ETHTOOL_GSTATS, buf)
for (i = 0; i < buf.n_stats; i++)
/* use stats */

Sorry for late.
Now I'm not sure what can I do next besides reporting the issue.

Well as I said before. The issue points to a driver problem more than
anything else.
Normally the solution is to make it so that the counts don't
fluctuate. That mostly consists of providing strings equal to the
maximum count, and then 0 populating the data for any fields that
don't exist in the case of ethtool -S.
So for example in the case of igb which you had pointed out you could
take a look at ixgbe for inspiration on how to fix it since the two
drivers should be similar and one has the issue and one does not.

Not sure if your research is accurate, NFP does not change the number
of stats. The number depends on the device and the FW loaded, but those
are constant during a lifetime of a netdevice.

Yeah, the value doesn't need to be a constant, it just need to be constant.
So for example in the ixgbe driver I believe we were using the upper
limits on the Tx and Rx queues which last I recall are stored in the
netdev itself.

Sorry, my research is rough indeed.

Thanks to point that, the examples NFP and ixgbe do help me.

The commit f8ba7db85035 ("ice: Report stats for allocated queues via ethtool stats")
also helps a lot.
