CVE-2022-49065 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

SUNRPC: Fix the svc_deferred_event trace class

Fix a NULL deref crash that occurs when an svc_rqst is deferred while the sunrpc tracing subsystem is enabled. svc_revisit() sets dr->xprt to NULL so it can’t be relied upon in the tracepoint to provide the remote’s address.

Unfortunately we can’t revert the \svc_deferred_class\ hunk in commit ece200ddd54b (\sunrpc: Save remote presentation address in svc_xprt for trace events) because there is now a specific check of event format specifiers for unsafe dereferences. The warning that check emits is:

event svc_defer_recv has unsafe dereference of argument 1

A %pISpc\ format specifier with a \struct sockaddr \ is indeed flagged by this check.

Instead take the brute-force approach used by the svcrdma_qp_error tracepoint. Convert the dr::addr field into a presentation address in the TP_fast_assign() arm of the trace event and store that as a string. This fix can be backported to -stable kernels.

In the meantime commit c6ced22997ad ( racing: Update print fmt check to handle new __get_sockaddr() macro) is now in v5.18 so this wonky fix can be replaced with __sockaddr() and friends properly during the v5.19 merge window.
