From 72d0ba1fa85d5a45703743b625bcf06d63005185 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Richter Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2012 14:12:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] firewire: cdev: fix user memory corruption (i386 userland on amd64 kernel) commit 790198f74c9d1b46b6a89504361b1a844670d050 upstream. Fix two bugs of the /dev/fw* character device concerning the FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO ioctl with nonzero fw_cdev_get_info.bus_reset. (Practically all /dev/fw* clients issue this ioctl right after opening the device.) Both bugs are caused by sizeof(struct fw_cdev_event_bus_reset) being 36 without natural alignment and 40 with natural alignment. 1) Memory corruption, affecting i386 userland on amd64 kernel: Userland reserves a 36 bytes large buffer, kernel writes 40 bytes. This has been first found and reported against libraw1394 if compiled with gcc 4.7 which happens to order libraw1394's stack such that the bug became visible as data corruption. 2) Information leak, affecting all kernel architectures except i386: 4 bytes of random kernel stack data were leaked to userspace. Hence limit the respective copy_to_user() to the 32-bit aligned size of struct fw_cdev_event_bus_reset.
