Subject: [ 1/7] b43: stop format string leaking into error msgs
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:10:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130618160911.904679984@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130618160911.721012782@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

commit e0e29b683d6784ef59bbc914eac85a04b650e63c upstream.

The module parameter "fwpostfix" is userspace controllable, unfiltered,
and is used to define the firmware filename. b43_do_request_fw() populates
ctx->errors[] on error, containing the firmware filename. b43err()
parses its arguments as a format string. For systems with b43 hardware,
this could lead to a uid-0 to ring-0 escalation.

CVE-2013-2852
