Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: core: Fill in DMA padding bytes in scsi_alloc_sgtables() During fuzz testing, the following issue was discovered: BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in __dma_map_sg_attrs+0x217/0x310 __dma_map_sg_attrs+0x217/0x310 dma_map_sg_attrs+0x4a/0x70 ata_qc_issue+0x9f8/0x1420 __ata_scsi_queuecmd+0x1657/0x1740 ata_scsi_queuecmd+0x79a/0x920 scsi_queue_rq+0x4472/0x4f40 blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list+0x1cca/0x3ee0 __blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests+0x458/0x630 blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests+0x15b/0x340 __blk_mq_run_hw_queue+0xe5/0x250 __blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue+0x138/0x780 blk_mq_run_hw_queue+0x4bb/0x7e0 blk_mq_sched_insert_request+0x2a7/0x4c0 blk_execute_rq+0x497/0x8a0 sg_io+0xbe0/0xe20 scsi_ioctl+0x2b36/0x3c60 sr_block_ioctl+0x319/0x440 blkdev_ioctl+0x80f/0xd70 __se_sys_ioctl+0x219/0x420 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x93/0xe0 x64_sys_call+0x1d6c/0x3ad0 do_syscall_64+0x4c/0xa0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0xd8 Uninit was created at: __alloc_pages+0x5c0/0xc80 alloc_pages+0xe0e/0x1050 blk_rq_map_user_iov+0x2b77/0x6100 blk_rq_map_user_io+0x2fa/0x4d0 sg_io+0xad6/0xe20 scsi_ioctl+0x2b36/0x3c60 sr_block_ioctl+0x319/0x440 blkdev_ioctl+0x80f/0xd70 __se_sys_ioctl+0x219/0x420 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x93/0xe0 x64_sys_call+0x1d6c/0x3ad0 do_syscall_64+0x4c/0xa0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0xd8 Bytes 14-15 of 16 are uninitialized Memory access of size 16 starts at ffff88800cbdb000 When processing the last unaligned element of the scatterlist, it is supplemented with missing bytes in the amount of pad_len. These bytes remain uninitialized, which leads to a problem. Extend last_sg->length by pad_len first, then use sg_zero_buffer() to zero those pad_len bytes. sg_zero_buffer() uses sg_miter internally, which correctly handles sg entries spanning multiple pages and padding that crosses a page boundary.
