scsi: libiscsi: Fix stale-data leak into the SCSI sense buffer
iscsi_scsi_cmd_rsp() copies the sense data of a SCSI Response from the
target-supplied data segment. The segment carries a 2-byte sense length
followed by the sense bytes, so it must hold 2 + senselen bytes, but the
bounds check only requires datalen >= senselen:
senselen = get_unaligned_be16(data);
if (datalen < senselen)
goto invalid_datalen;
memcpy(sc->sense_buffer, data + 2,
min_t(uint16_t, senselen, SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE));
A target that returns a SCSI Response whose datalen equals senselen
(with senselen <= SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE) makes the memcpy() from data +
2 read up to two bytes past the received data. Those bytes are stale
conn->data contents and end up in the command's sense buffer, which is
returned to userspace.
Account for the 2-byte sense length prefix in the check.
