Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: scsi_debug: Fix out-of-bound read in resp_readcap16()

The following warning was observed running syzkaller:

This issue can be reproduced with the following syzkaller log:

r0 = openat(0xffffffffffffff9c, &(0x7f0000000040)=‘./file0\x00’, 0x26e1, 0x0)
r1 = syz_open_procfs(0xffffffffffffffff, &(0x7f0000000000)=‘fd/3\x00’)
open_by_handle_at(r1, &(0x7f00000003c0)=ANY=[@ANYRESHEX], 0x602000)
r2 = syz_open_dev\(sg(&(0x7f0000000000), 0x0, 0x40782) write\)binfmt_aout(r2, &(0x7f0000000340)=ANY=[@ANYBLOB=“00000000deff000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000047f007af9e107a41ec395f1bded7be24277a1501ff6196a83366f4e6362bc0ff2b247f68a972989b094b2da4fb3607fcf611a22dd04310d28c75039d”], 0x126)

In resp_readcap16() we get “int alloc_len” value -1104926854, and then pass
the huge arr_len to fill_from_dev_buffer(), but arr is only 32 bytes. This
leads to OOB in sg_copy_buffer().

To solve this issue, define alloc_len as u32.
