Title
scsi: mpi3mr: Use number of bits to manage bitmap sizes
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: mpi3mr: Use number of bits to manage bitmap sizes To allocate bitmaps, the mpi3mr driver calculates sizes of bitmaps using byte as unit. However, bitmap helper functions assume that bitmaps are allocated using unsigned long as unit. This gap causes memory access beyond the bitmap sizes and results in "BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds". The BUG was observed at firmware download to eHBA-9600. Call trace indicated that the out-of-bounds access happened in find_first_zero_bit() called from mpi3mr_send_event_ack() for miroc->evtack_cmds_bitmap. To fix the BUG, do not use bytes to manage bitmap sizes. Instead, use number of bits, and call bitmap helper functions which take number of bits as arguments. For memory allocation, call bitmap_zalloc() instead of kzalloc() and krealloc(). For memory free, call bitmap_free() instead of kfree(). For zero clear, call bitmap_clear() instead of memset(). Remove three fields for bitmap byte sizes in struct scmd_priv which are no longer required. Replace the field dev_handle_bitmap_sz with dev_handle_bitmap_bits to keep number of bits of removepend_bitmap across resize.

However, bitmap helper functions assume that bitmaps are\nallocated using unsigned long as unit. This gap causes memory access beyond\nthe bitmap sizes and results in \"BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds\".  The BUG\nwas observed at firmware download to eHBA-9600. Call trace indicated that\nthe out-of-bounds access happened in find_first_zero_bit() called from\nmpi3mr_send_event_ack() for miroc-\u003eevtack_cmds_bitmap.\n\nTo fix the BUG, do not use bytes to manage bitmap sizes. Instead, use\nnumber of bits, and call bitmap helper functions which take number of bits\nas arguments. For memory allocation, call bitmap_zalloc() instead of\nkzalloc() and krealloc(). For memory free, call bitmap_free() instead of\nkfree(). For zero clear, call bitmap_clear() instead of memset().\n\nRemove three fields for bitmap byte sizes in struct scmd_priv which are no\nlonger required. Replace the field dev_handle_bitmap_sz with\ndev_handle_bitmap_bits to keep number of bits of removepend_bitmap across\nresize."

However, bitmap helper functions assume that bitmaps are\nallocated using unsigned long as unit. This gap causes memory access beyond\nthe bitmap sizes and results in \"BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds\".  The BUG\nwas observed at firmware download to eHBA-9600. Call trace indicated that\nthe out-of-bounds access happened in find_first_zero_bit() called from\nmpi3mr_send_event_ack() for miroc-\u003eevtack_cmds_bitmap.\n\nTo fix the BUG, do not use bytes to manage bitmap sizes. Instead, use\nnumber of bits, and call bitmap helper functions which take number of bits\nas arguments. For memory allocation, call bitmap_zalloc() instead of\nkzalloc() and krealloc(). For memory free, call bitmap_free() instead of\nkfree(). For zero clear, call bitmap_clear() instead of memset().\n\nRemove three fields for bitmap byte sizes in struct scmd_priv which are no\nlonger required. Replace the field dev_handle_bitmap_sz with\ndev_handle_bitmap_bits to keep number of bits of removepend_bitmap across\nresize."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
