eCryptfs: Regression in unencrypted filename symlinks

The addition of filename encryption caused a regression in unencrypted
filename symlink support.  ecryptfs_copy_filename() is used when dealing
with unencrypted filenames and it reported that the new, copied filename
was a character longer than it should have been.

This caused the return value of readlink() to count the NULL byte of the
symlink target.  Most applications don't care about the extra NULL byte,
but a version control system (bzr) helped in discovering the bug.

David Howells [Fri, 6 Feb 2009 11:45:46 +0000 (11:45 +0000)]
CRED: Fix SUID exec regression

The patch:

commit a6f76f23d297f70e2a6b3ec607f7aeeea9e37e8d
CRED: Make execve() take advantage of copy-on-write credentials

moved the place in which the 'safeness' of a SUID/SGID exec was performed to
before de_thread() was called.  This means that LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE is now
calculated incorrectly.  This flag is set if any of the usage counts for
fs_struct, files_struct and sighand_struct are greater than 1 at the time the
determination is made.  All of which are true for threads created by the
pthread library.

However, since we wish to make the security calculation before irrevocably
damaging the process so that we can return it an error code in the case where
we decide we want to reject the exec request on this basis, we have to make the
determination before calling de_thread().

So, instead, we count up the number of threads (CLONE_THREAD) that are sharing
our fs_struct (CLONE_FS), files_struct (CLONE_FILES) and sighand_structs
(CLONE_SIGHAND/CLONE_THREAD) with us.  These will be killed by de_thread() and
so can be discounted by check_unsafe_exec().

We do have to be careful because CLONE_THREAD does not imply FS or FILES.

We _assume_ that there will be no extra references to these structs held by the
threads we're going to kill.

This can be tested with the attached pair of programs.  Build the two programs
using the Makefile supplied, and run ./test1 as a non-root user.  If
successful, you should see something like:

15 years agovfs: Don't call attach_nobh_buffers() with an empty list
Dave Kleikamp [Fri, 6 Feb 2009 20:59:26 +0000 (14:59 -0600)]
vfs: Don't call attach_nobh_buffers() with an empty list

This is a modification of a patch by Bill Pemberton <wfp5p@virginia.edu>

nobh_write_end() could call attach_nobh_buffers() with head == NULL.
This would result in a trap when attach_nobh_buffers() attempted to
access bh->b_this_page.

This can be illustrated by running the writev01 testcase from LTP on jfs.

This error was introduced by commit 5b41e74a "vfs: fix data leak in
nobh_write_end()".  That patch did not take into account that if
PageMappedToDisk() is true upon entry to nobh_write_begin(), then no
buffers will be allocated for the page.  In that case, we won't have to
worry about a failed write leaving unitialized data in the page.

Of course, head != NULL implies !page_has_buffers(page), so no need to
test both.

md: Ensure an md array never has too many devices.

Each different metadata format supported by md supports a
different maximum number of devices.
We really should be enforcing this maximum in the kernel, but
we aren't quite doing that properly.

We currently only enforce it at the 'hot_add' point, which is an
older interface which is not used by current userspace.

We need to also enforce it at 'add_new_disk' time for active arrays
and at 'do_md_run' time when starting a new array.

So move the test from 'hot_add' into 'bind_rdev_to_array' which is
called from both 'hot_add' and 'add_new_disk, and add a new
test in 'analyse_sbs' which is called from 'do_md_run'.

md: Fix a bug in linear.c causing which_dev() to return the wrong device.

ab5bd5cbc8d4b868378d062eed3d4240930fbb86 introduced the following
bug in linear software raid for large arrays on 32 bit machines:

which_dev() computes the device holding a given sector by shifting
down the sector number to a 32 bit range, dividing by the array
spacing and looking up the resulting index in the hash table of
the array.

Because the computed index might be slightly too small, a loop at
the end of which_dev() increases the index until the given sector
actually falls into the range of the device associated with that index.

The changes of the above mentioned commit caused this loop to check
whether the _index_ rather than the sector number is small enough,
effectively bypassing the loop and thus possibly returning the wrong
device.

As reported by Simon Kirby, this leads to errors such as

linear_make_request: Sector 2340486136 out of bounds on dev sdi: 156301312 sectors, offset 2109870464

Fix this bug by introducing a local variable for the index so that
the variable containing the passed sector is left unchanged.

pskb_may_pull().  As pskb_may_pull() can potentially alter the SKB
buffer.

This was exposted by running multicast traffic through the NIU driver,
as it won't prepull the protocol headers into the linear area on
receive.

15 years agoseq_file: fix big-enough lseek() + read()
Alexey Dobriyan [Thu, 5 Feb 2009 21:30:05 +0000 (00:30 +0300)]
seq_file: fix big-enough lseek() + read()

lseek() further than length of the file will leave stale ->index
(second-to-last during iteration). Next seq_read() will not notice
that ->f_pos is big enough to return 0, but will print last item
as if ->f_pos is pointing to it.

Introduced in commit cb510b8172602a66467f3551b4be1911f5a7c8c2
aka "seq_file: more atomicity in traverse()".
