Subject: [ 01/26] b43: stop format string leaking into error msgs
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:14:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130618161231.466154808@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130618161231.154881788@linuxfoundation.org>
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
3.4-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
