Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: pm80xx: Fix array-index-out-of-of-bounds on rmmod
Since commit f7b705c238d1 ("scsi: pm80xx: Set phy_attached to zero when
device is gone") UBSAN reports:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_sas.c:786:17
index 28 is out of range for type 'pm8001_phy [16]'
on rmmod when using an expander.
For a direct attached device, attached_phy contains the local phy id.
For a device behind an expander, attached_phy contains the remote phy
id, not the local phy id.
I.e. while pm8001_ha will have pm8001_ha->chip->n_phy local phys, for a
device behind an expander, attached_phy can be much larger than
pm8001_ha->chip->n_phy (depending on the amount of phys of the
expander).
E.g. on my system pm8001_ha has 8 phys with phy ids 0-7. One of the
ports has an expander connected. The expander has 31 phys with phy ids
0-30.
The pm8001_ha->phy array only contains the phys of the HBA. It does not
contain the phys of the expander. Thus, it is wrong to use attached_phy
to index the pm8001_ha->phy array for a device behind an expander.
Thus, we can only clear phy_attached for devices that are directly
attached.
