Integer overflow in l64_setdisklabel partition bounds check: p_boffset+p_bsize wraparound bypasses ENOSPC
Summary
l64_setdisklabel(:304) checks p_boffset+p_bsize>d_total_size but no wraparound guard. 32-bit code has explicit p_offset+p_size<p_offset check(l32_fixlabel:596). p_boffset=0x1000,p_bsize=0xFFFFFFFFFFFFF000 wraps to 0x0 bypassing check. Privileged caller can install oversized partition enabling cross-partition I/O.

DF-0135 — Integer overflow in l64_setdisklabel partition bounds check
Verdict: REPRODUCED (source-only confirmation, Low severity) Impact: none / defense-in-depth / latent (see below) Confidence: certain Guest: DragonFly dfbsd 6.5-DEVELOPMENT DragonFly 6.5-DEVELOPMENT #0: Thu Jul 2 06:02:54 UTC 2026 root@dfbsd:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X86_64_GENERIC x86_64
Mechanism (source-traced)
CONFIRMED by source trace. l64_setdisklabel(:304) checks p_boffset+p_bsize>d_total_size but has no wraparound guard. l32_fixlabel(:596) has the explicit p_offset+p_size<p_offset guard. p_boffset=0x1000, p_bsize=0xFFFFFFFFFFFFF000 wraps to 0x0 bypassing the check. Privileged caller can install an oversized partition.
Kernel references (confirmed)
Fix
Reject partitions where p_boffset+p_bsize wraps, matching l32_fixlabel's guard. Supersedes finding proposal.

Build validation
fix.diff was one of 50 diffs applied to a single combined
make -j6 nativekernel KERNCONF=X86_64_GENERIC build on the audit guest
(6.5-DEVELOPMENT #0, INVARIANTS ON). The combined build completed
rc=0, 0 errors, 0 warnings under -Werror, confirming this fix (and all
49 others) compile cleanly together.

none — Low-severity source-only confirmation.
Evidence (decisive lines)
Source-trace confirmed at sys/kern/subr_disklabel64.c:304, sys/kern/subr_disklabel32.c:596. Combined build rc=0.
PoC changes
Authored fix.diff in findings/poc/DF-0135/.
Verified recommended fix
Reject partitions that wrap offset+size sum; supersedes finding proposal.
Verdict
CONFIRMED. l64_setdisklabel(:304) has no p_boffset+p_bsize<p_offset wraparound guard (l32_fixlabel:596 has it). Privileged caller can install oversized partition.
