[ Upstream commit 0781168e23a2fc8dceb989f11fc5b39b3ccacc35 ] In yam_ioctl(), the concrete ioctl command is firstly copied from the user-space buffer 'ifr->ifr_data' to 'ioctl_cmd' and checked through the following switch statement. If the command is not as expected, an error code EINVAL is returned. In the following execution the buffer 'ifr->ifr_data' is copied again in the cases of the switch statement to specific data structures according to what kind of ioctl command is requested. However, after the second copy, no re-check is enforced on the newly-copied command. Given that the buffer 'ifr->ifr_data' is in the user space, a malicious user can race to change the command between the two copies. This way, the attacker can inject inconsistent data and cause undefined behavior. This patch adds a re-check in each case of the switch statement if there is a second copy in that case, to re-check whether the command obtained in the second copy is the same as the one in the first copy. If not, an error code EINVAL will be returned. Signed-off-by: Wenwen Wang <wang6495@umn.edu> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
