      pipe: Fix buffer offset after partially failed read · ce9588a0
      Ben Hutchings authored
      Quoting the RHEL advisory:
      
      > It was found that the fix for CVE-2015-1805 incorrectly kept buffer
      > offset and buffer length in sync on a failed atomic read, potentially
      > resulting in a pipe buffer state corruption. A local, unprivileged user
      > could use this flaw to crash the system or leak kernel memory to user
      > space. (CVE-2016-0774, Moderate)
      
      The same flawed fix was applied to stable branches from 2.6.32.y to
      3.14.y inclusive, and I was able to reproduce the issue on 3.2.y.
      We need to give pipe_iov_copy_to_user() a separate offset variable
      and only update the buffer offset if it succeeds.
