New subject: [ovs-dev] [PATCH] openvswitch: fix OOB access in reserve_sfa_size()

15 Apr 2022

Given a sufficiently large number of actions, while copying and
reserving memory for a new action of a new flow, if next_offset is
greater than MAX_ACTIONS_BUFSIZE, the function reserve_sfa_size() does
not return -EMSGSIZE as expected, but it allocates MAX_ACTIONS_BUFSIZE
bytes increasing actions_len by req_size. This can then lead to an OOB
write access, especially when further actions need to be copied.
Fix it by rearranging the flow action size check.
