-Subject: [PATCH] nbd/server: CVE-2017-15119 Reject options larger than 32M
-
-The NBD spec gives us permission to abruptly disconnect on clients
-that send outrageously large option requests, rather than having
-to spend the time reading to the end of the option. No real
-option request requires that much data anyways; and meanwhile, we
-already have the practice of abruptly dropping the connection on
-any client that sends NBD_CMD_WRITE with a payload larger than 32M.
-
-For comparison, nbdkit drops the connection on any request with
-more than 4096 bytes; however, that limit is probably too low
-(as the NBD spec states an export name can theoretically be up
-to 4096 bytes, which means a valid NBD_OPT_INFO could be even
-longer) - even if qemu doesn't permit exports longer than 256
-bytes.
-
-It could be argued that a malicious client trying to get us to
-read nearly 4G of data on a bad request is a form of denial of
-service. In particular, if the server requires TLS, but a client
-that does not know the TLS credentials sends any option (other
-than NBD_OPT_STARTTLS or NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME) with a stated
-payload of nearly 4G, then the server was keeping the connection
-alive trying to read all the payload, tying up resources that it
-would rather be spending on a client that can get past the TLS
-handshake. Hence, this warranted a CVE.
-
-Present since at least 2.5 when handling known options, and made
-worse in 2.6 when fixing support for NBD_FLAG_C_FIXED_NEWSTYLE
-to handle unknown options.
