    HID: uhid: forbid UHID_CREATE under KERNEL_DS or elevated privileges · 8c01db76
    Eric Biggers authored
    When a UHID_CREATE command is written to the uhid char device, a
    copy_from_user() is done from a user pointer embedded in the command.
    When the address limit is KERNEL_DS, e.g. as is the case during
    sys_sendfile(), this can read from kernel memory.  Alternatively,
    information can be leaked from a setuid binary that is tricked to write
    to the file descriptor.  Therefore, forbid UHID_CREATE in these cases.
    
    No other commands in uhid_char_write() are affected by this bug and
    UHID_CREATE is marked as "obsolete", so apply the restriction to
    UHID_CREATE only rather than to uhid_char_write() entirely.
    
    Thanks to Dmitry Vyukov for adding uhid definitions to syzkaller and to
    Jann Horn for commit 9da3f2b7 ("x86/fault: BUG() when uaccess
    helpers fault on kernel addresses"), allowing this bug to be found.
