token: harden compressed-token decoding against integer overflow
The receiver's three compressed-token decoders --
recv_deflated_token (zlib), recv_zstd_token, and
recv_compressed_token (lz4) -- accumulated rx_token (a 32-bit
signed counter) without overflow checking. A malicious sender
could craft a compressed-token stream that walked rx_token past
INT32_MAX, with careful manipulation leaking process memory
contents to the wire (environment variables, passwords, heap
pointers, library pointers -- significantly weakening ASLR
and facilitating further exploitation).
Cap rx_token at MAX_TOKEN_INDEX = 0x7ffffffe. Fold the
bookkeeping into recv_compressed_token_num() and
recv_compressed_token_run() shared by all three decoders. Reject
negative or out-of-range token values explicitly. Also cap the
simple_recv_token literal-block length at the source: any
wire-supplied length > CHUNK_SIZE is ill-formed (the matching
simple_send_token never writes a chunk larger than CHUNK_SIZE),
so reject before looping on attacker-controlled bytes.
Reach: an authenticated daemon connection with compression
enabled (the default for protocols >= 30 when both peers
advertise it). Disabling compression on the daemon
("refuse options = compress" in rsyncd.conf) is the available
workaround.
