      compat_ioctl: don't call do_ioctl under set_fs(KERNEL_DS) · a7f61e89
      Jann Horn authored
      This replaces all code in fs/compat_ioctl.c that translated
      ioctl arguments into a in-kernel structure, then performed
      do_ioctl under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), with code that allocates
      data on the user stack and can call the VFS ioctl handler
      under USER_DS.
      
      This is done as a hardening measure because the caller
      does not know what kind of ioctl handler will be invoked,
      only that no corresponding compat_ioctl handler exists and
      what the ioctl command number is. The accidental
      invocation of an unlocked_ioctl handler that unexpectedly
      calls copy_to_user could be a severe security issue.

      compat_ioctl: don't look up the fd twice · b4341721
      Jann Horn authored
      In code in fs/compat_ioctl.c that translates ioctl arguments
      into a in-kernel structure, then performs sys_ioctl, possibly
      under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), this commit changes the sys_ioctl
      calls to do_ioctl calls. do_ioctl is a new function that does
      the same thing as sys_ioctl, but doesn't look up the fd again.
      
      This change is made to avoid (potential) security issues
      because of ioctl handlers that accept one of the ioctl
      commands I2C_FUNCS, VIDEO_GET_EVENT, MTIOCPOS, MTIOCGET,
      TIOCGSERIAL, TIOCSSERIAL, RTC_IRQP_READ, RTC_EPOCH_READ.
      This can happen for multiple reasons:
      
       - The ioctl command number could be reused.
       - The ioctl handler might not check the full ioctl
         command. This is e.g. true for drm_ioctl.
       - The ioctl handler is very special, e.g. cuse_file_ioctl
      
      The real issue is that set_fs(KERNEL_DS) is used here,
      but that's fixed in a separate commit
      "compat_ioctl: don't call do_ioctl under set_fs(KERNEL_DS)".
      
      This change mitigates potential security issues by
      preventing a race that permits invocation of
      unlocked_ioctl handlers under KERNEL_DS through compat
      code even if a corresponding compat_ioctl handler exists.
      
      So far, no way has been identified to use this to damage
      kernel memory without having CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the init ns
      (with the capability, doing reads/writes at arbitrary
      kernel addresses should be easy through CUSE's ioctl
      handler with FUSE_IOCTL_UNRESTRICTED set).

      Pull PCI bugfix from Bjorn Helgaas:
       "Here's another fix for v4.4.
      
        This fixes 32-bit config reads for the HiSilicon driver.  Obviously
        the driver is completely broken without this fix (apparently it
        actually was tested internally, but got broken somehow in the process
        of upstreaming it).
