DF-3984 — sbp(4): ORB matching is address-only across ORB lifetimes — replayed mgm status completes a recycled command ORB (premature dmamap_unload under live device DMA + spurious CCB completion)

Where

sys/dev/disk/sbp/sbp.c — matching logic: - OCB_MATCH(o,s) = o->bus_addr == ntohl(s->orb_lo) (sbp.c:156) — the SBP status block carries only the low 32 bits of the ORB address; no source/sequence/generation discrimination beyond src. - mgm completion: sbp_recv1 sbp.c:1597-1603 matches target->mgm_ocb_cur by address, clears mgm_ocb_cur, later sbp_free_ocb(sdev, ocb) (sbp.c:1782) returns the OCB slot to free_ocbs — the slot keeps its bus_addr (fixed: sdev->dma.bus_addr + ... + sizeof(sbp_ocb)*i, sbp.c:519-522). - command completion: sbp_dequeue_ocb (sbp.c:2584-2615) matches any OCB on sdev->ocbs by the same address test, then unloads the data dmamap (sbp.c:2597-2598) and xpt_dones the CCB (sbp.c:1774).

The flaw

A hostile device (or hostile bus peer writing the initiator's status FIFO — physical-request writes are enabled by default per DF-1009) can replay a management-ORB status (same orb_lo) after the mgm OCB was completed and recycled into a command OCB. The replay: 1. misses mgm_ocb_cur (already NULL), 2. falls through to sbp_dequeue_ocb (sbp.c:1605) and matches the recycled command OCB by its inherited bus_addr, 3. bus_dmamap_unload (sbp.c:2597) while the device may still be DMA-transfering that command's buffer (pages can be freed/reused → device writes land in unrelated memory), 4. completes the CCB with attacker-chosen status fields (sbp_status is fully device-controlled; resp=0,dead=0,len<=1,status=0 yields CAM_REQ_CMP) — the real completion later finds "No ocb on the queue" (sbp.c:1606-1610) and the mismatched data is never delivered.

Distinguishing from knowns

DF-2516 covers payload length validation (stale heap contents driving the same parse). This finding is the address-only lifetime flaw: even a perfectly received status block completes the wrong (recycled) ORB. No prior finding covers ORB-identity across recycling.

Severity

Medium: hostile-device-gated; premature dmamap_unload under live DMA is a memory-disclosure/corruption primitive; spurious completions corrupt I/O integrity. Source-certain; hardware-gated runtime (no FireWire on the audit guest — ../DF-3981/env.txt) → inconclusive end-to-end.

Fix

fix.diff — per-LUN single-deep stale-address filter: when a management ORB completes, remember its bus_addr in sdev->stale_orb_lo; sbp_dequeue_ocb ignores (and reports) a matching stale address once, preventing the replay from ever matching the recycled command OCB.

DF-3984 VERDICT — address-only ORB matching across ORB recycling

Status: inconclusive (hardware-gated; no FireWire controller on the audit guest — ../DF-3981/env.txt). Source-level certainty: likely (the state transitions are certain; the "replay" capability of a hostile device/peer is standard 1394 bus behavior — physical-request writes to the status FIFO are enabled by default per known DF-1009 — but the end-to-end corruption was not observable without hardware).

Analysis

ORB slots have fixed bus addresses for the LUN's lifetime: sdev->ocb[i].bus_addr = sdev->dma.bus_addr + SBP_LOGIN_SIZE + sizeof(struct sbp_ocb)*i + offsetof(orb) (sbp.c:516-522). Slot reuse moves an address between the mgm path and the command path with no generation tag; the SBP-2 status block's only ORB identity is orb_hi/orb_lo (ORB_MATCH compares only orb_lo, sbp.c:156).

Sequence a hostile device drives: 1. Initiator issues a management ORB (login/reconnect) from slot X (sbp_get_ocb sbp.c:1301, armed as target->mgm_ocb_cur sbp.c:1348). 2. Device answers correctly → recv1 matches mgm_ocb_cur (sbp.c:1599), clears it (1601), completes the mgm ORB, sbp_free_ocb (sbp.c:1782) returns slot X to free_ocbs. 3. Local I/O allocates slot X for a command ORB (sbp_get_ocb sbp.c:2307, enqueued sbp.c:2638, dmamap loaded sbp.c:2346, ORB written to the device). 4. Device replays the step-2 status write (identical orb_lo; the initiator's status FIFO address is known to the device; a hostile third node can also write it — DF-1009). recv1: mgm_ocb_cur is NULL → sbp_dequeue_ocb(sdev, status) (sbp.c:1605) matches the recycled command OCB in sdev->ocbs by address (sbp.c:2586). 5. Consequences: - bus_dmamap_sync/unload (sbp.c:2592-2598) while the device is still executing the command → device DMA continues into pages the kernel considers unmapped (data may land in freed/reused pages); - CCB completed with CAM_REQ_CMP (device controls resp/dead/len/ status, sbp.c:1622-1770) while the data buffer content is stale; - the genuine completion is dropped ("No ocb on the queue", sbp.c:1606-1610); I/O integrity corrupted; - if the ORB had ORB_CMD_PTBL, ntohl(ocb->orb[4]) & 0xffff (sbp.c:2591) is evaluated on the current ORB — consistent — no extra primitive needed.

Note the sibling hazard inside one lifetime: a duplicate command status completes an in-flight ORB twice — the first xpt_done wins and the second finds nothing on the queue (benign); the recycling case above is the dangerous one because it completes an ORB that was NOT the one the status was generated for.

Fix validation

Not runnable on this guest. fix.diff adds a one-deep stale-address filter (sdev->stale_orb_lo) consumed by sbp_dequeue_ocb, so a replayed mgm status can never match the recycled command ORB. A protocol-complete fix would tag ORBs with a generation the device echoes — not available in the SBP-2 status format, hence the heuristic filter + loud report.

Fix status (batch validation)

Applied with the 36 sibling fix.diffs of this batch in findings/poc/_batch41/all_fixes.patch; single in-guest make -j6 nativekernel KERNCONF=X86_64_GENERIC completed RC=0 with zero errors under -Werror (full log: findings/poc/_batch41/fix_build8.log). Behavior A/B intentionally skipped for this Info-tier item.
