Subject: patch "drivers: char: mem: Check for address space wraparound with mmap()" added to char-misc-linus
Date: Thu, 18 May 2017 16:54:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <14951192967149@kroah.com> (raw)
This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
drivers: char: mem: Check for address space wraparound with mmap()
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: drivers: char: mem: Check for address space wraparound with mmap()
/dev/mem currently allows mmap() mappings that wrap around the end of
the physical address space, which should probably be illegal. It
circumvents the existing STRICT_DEVMEM permission check because the loop
immediately terminates (as the start address is already higher than the
end address). On the x86_64 architecture it will then cause a panic
(from the BUG(start >= end) in arch/x86/mm/pat.c:reserve_memtype()).
This patch adds an explicit check to make sure offset + size will not
wrap around in the physical address type.
