[PATCH 3.10 009/104] x86, x32: Correct invalid use of user timespec in the kernel

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

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

From: PaX Team <pageexec@freemail.hu>

commit 2def2ef2ae5f3990aabdbe8a755911902707d268 upstream.

The x32 case for the recvmsg() timout handling is broken:

  asmlinkage long compat_sys_recvmmsg(int fd, struct compat_mmsghdr __user *mmsg,
                                      unsigned int vlen, unsigned int flags,
                                      struct compat_timespec __user *timeout)
  {
          int datagrams;
          struct timespec ktspec;

          if (flags & MSG_CMSG_COMPAT)
                  return -EINVAL;

          if (COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME)
                  return __sys_recvmmsg(fd, (struct mmsghdr __user *)mmsg, vlen,
                                        flags | MSG_CMSG_COMPAT,
                                        (struct timespec *) timeout);
          ...

The timeout pointer parameter is provided by userland (hence the __user
annotation) but for x32 syscalls it's simply cast to a kernel pointer
and is passed to __sys_recvmmsg which will eventually directly
dereference it for both reading and writing.  Other callers to
__sys_recvmmsg properly copy from userland to the kernel first.

The bug was introduced by commit ee4fa23c4bfc ("compat: Use
COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/compat.c") and should affect all kernels
since 3.4 (and perhaps vendor kernels if they backported x32 support
along with this code).

Note that CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI gets enabled at build time and only if
CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled and ld can build x32 executables.

Other uses of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME seem fine.

This addresses CVE-2014-0038.
