Phase 8 — fix-validation for DF-1870
================================================================

Running kernel (unpatched baseline #0):
  DragonFly 6.5-DEVELOPMENT #0: Thu Jul  2 06:02:54 UTC 2026

Bug status on this kernel: CONFIRMED at source level
  - File: sys/dev/disk/iscsi/initiator/iscsi_subr.c
  - Vulnerable function: iscsi_r2t() lines 60-138
  - Missing bounds check: ddtl (attacker wire value) is never compared
    against edtl (size of csio->data_ptr); the while(bleft>0) loop
    at line 94 walks bp past the allocation and ships kernel heap
    bytes to the malicious iSCSI target via isc_qout().

+ harness with apply_fix=1 (mimics patched kernel):
  [REJECTED by bounds check] bo=0 ddtl=1048576 edtl=512
  VERDICT: bounds check rejects the over-long R2T;
           0 bytes leaked past buffer.

----------------------------------------------------------------
VERDICT: fix_status = fixed
----------------------------------------------------------------
The bounds check 'if (bo > edtl || ddtl > edtl - bo) break;' inserted
at iscsi_subr.c line 88-91 rejects every over-long R2T before the
loop runs.  In the harness, OOB bytes leaked drop from 1,048,064
(ddtl=1MiB vs edtlen=512) to 0.  The patched module compiles cleanly
and the new xdebug("bad R2T: ...") string is present in the binary.

Note: this is a loadable module (not in GENERIC), so live end-to-end
trigger requires an admin-set-up iSCSI session against a malicious
target.  Python is not available on this guest, so a full evil-target
trigger was not feasible in-lab; the harness + module-build validation
covers the source/logic/binary levels per the procedure.
