David Disseldorp 0165403da5 scsi: target: Fix hexadecimal CHAP_I handling
[ Upstream commit 7e161211f1 ]

A mutual CHAP handshake requires target processing of an initiator-sent
CHAP_I identifier. The RFC 3720 specification states:

  11.1.4.  Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)
  ...
  CHAP_A=<A> CHAP_I=<I> CHAP_C=<C>
  ...
  Where N, (A,A1,A2), I, C, and R are (correspondingly) the Name,
  Algorithm, Identifier, Challenge, and Response as defined in
  [RFC1994], N is a text string, A,A1,A2, and I are numbers

CHAP_I parsing currently calls extract_param(), which returns the
@identifier string (stripped of any 0b/0B or 0x/0X prefix) and a @type
which indicates DECIMAL, HEX, or BASE64 encoding (based on any stripped
prefix).

Any HEX encoded CHAP_I string is further processed via:

  ret = kstrtoul(&identifier[2], 0, &id);

This is incorrect for two reasons:

 * The @identifier string has already been stripped of the 0x/0X prefix,
   so skipping the first two bytes omits part of the number.

 * The kstrtoul() call specifies a base of 0, which will see
   &identifier[2] parsed as a decimal, unless a '0x' or (octal) '0' is
   erroneously present at that offset.

Fix this by passing the (zero-offset) identifier string to kstrtoul()
along with a base=16 parameter. Also add an explicit error handler for
BASE64 encoding.

Hex-encoded CHAP_I handling can be testing using the libiscsi EncodedI
test linked below.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
