Subject: [ 31/40] Fix: compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() misuse in aio, readv, writev, and security keys
Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2013 15:43:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130312223214.785524949@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130312223211.492954675@linuxfoundation.org>
3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
commit 8aec0f5d4137532de14e6554fd5dd201ff3a3c49 upstream.
Looking at mm/process_vm_access.c:process_vm_rw() and comparing it to
compat_process_vm_rw() shows that the compatibility code requires an
explicit "access_ok()" check before calling
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(). The same difference seems to appear when
we compare fs/read_write.c:do_readv_writev() to
fs/compat.c:compat_do_readv_writev().
This subtle difference between the compat and non-compat requirements
should probably be debated, as it seems to be error-prone. In fact,
there are two others sites that use this function in the Linux kernel,
and they both seem to get it wrong:
Now shifting our attention to fs/aio.c, we see that aio_setup_iocb()
also ends up calling compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() through
aio_setup_vectored_rw(). Unfortunately, the access_ok() check appears to
be missing. Same situation for
security/keys/compat.c:compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov().
I propose that we add the access_ok() check directly into
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(), so callers don't have to worry about it,
and it therefore makes the compat call code similar to its non-compat
counterpart. Place the access_ok() check in the same location where
copy_from_user() can trigger a -EFAULT error in the non-compat code, so
the ABI behaviors are alike on both compat and non-compat.
While we are here, fix compat_do_readv_writev() so it checks for
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() negative return values.
And also, fix a memory leak in compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov() error
handling.
