If the ASN.1 decoder is asked to parse a sequence of objects, non-optional matches get skipped if there's no more data to be had rather than a data-overrun error being reported. This is due to the code segment that decides whether to skip optional matches (ie. matches that could get ignored because an element is marked OPTIONAL in the grammar) due to a lack of data also skips non-optional elements if the data pointer has reached the end of the buffer. This can be tested with the data decoder for the new RSA akcipher algorithm that takes three non-optional integers. Currently, it skips the last integer if there is insufficient data. Without the fix, #defining DEBUG in asn1_decoder.c will show something like: next_op: pc=0/13 dp=0/270 C=0 J=0 - match? 30 30 00 - TAG: 30 266 CONS next_op: pc=2/13 dp=4/270 C=1 J=0 - match? 02 02 00 - TAG: 02 257 - LEAF: 257 next_op: pc=5/13 dp=265/270 C=1 J=0 - match? 02 02 00 - TAG: 02 3 - LEAF: 3 next_op: pc=8/13 dp=270/270 C=1 J=0 next_op: pc=11/13 dp=270/270 C=1 J=0 - end cons t=4 dp=270 l=270/270 The next_op line for pc=8/13 should be followed by a match line. This is not exploitable for X.509 certificates by means of shortening the message and fixing up the ASN.1 CONS tags because: (1) The relevant records being built up are cleared before use. (2) If the message is shortened sufficiently to remove the public key, the ASN.1 parse of the RSA key will fail quickly due to a lack of data. (3) Extracted signature data is either turned into MPIs (which cope with a 0 length) or is simpler integers specifying algoritms and suchlike (which can validly be 0); and (4) The AKID and SKID extensions are optional and their removal is handled without risking passing a NULL to asymmetric_key_generate_id(). (5) If the certificate is truncated sufficiently to remove the subject, issuer or serialNumber then the ASN.1 decoder will fail with a 'Cons stack underflow' return. This is not exploitable for PKCS#7 messages by means of removal of elements from such a message from the tail end of a sequence: (1) Any shortened X.509 certs embedded in the PKCS#7 message are survivable as detailed above. (2) The message digest content isn't used if it shows a NULL pointer, similarly, the authattrs aren't used if that shows a NULL pointer. (3) A missing signature results in a NULL MPI - which the MPI routines deal with. (4) If data is NULL, it is expected that the message has detached content and that is handled appropriately. (5) If the serialNumber is excised, the unconditional action associated with it will pick up the containing SEQUENCE instead, so no NULL pointer will be seen here. If both the issuer and the serialNumber are excised, the ASN.1 decode will fail with an 'Unexpected tag' return. In either case, there's no way to get to asymmetric_key_generate_id() with a NULL pointer. (6) Other fields are decoded to simple integers. Shortening the message to omit an algorithm ID field will cause checks on this to fail early in the verification process. This can also be tested by snipping objects off of the end of the ASN.1 stream such that mandatory tags are removed - or even from the end of internal SEQUENCEs. If any mandatory tag is missing, the error EBADMSG *should* be produced. Without this patch ERANGE or ENOPKG might be produced or the parse may apparently succeed, perhaps with ENOKEY or EKEYREJECTED being produced later, depending on what gets snipped. Just snipping off the final BIT_STRING or OCTET_STRING from either sample should be a start since both are mandatory and neither will cause an EBADMSG without the patches Reported-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Tested-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Reviewed-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

In an ASN.1 description where there is a CHOICE construct that contains elements with IMPLICIT tags that refer to constructed types, actions to be taken on those elements should be conditional on the corresponding element actually being matched. Currently, however, such actions are performed unconditionally in the middle of processing the CHOICE. For example, look at elements 'b' and 'e' here: A ::= SEQUENCE { CHOICE { b [0] IMPLICIT B ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_b }), c [1] EXPLICIT C ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_c }), d [2] EXPLICIT B ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_d }), e [3] IMPLICIT C ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_e }), f [4] IMPLICIT INTEGER ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_f }) } } ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_A }) B ::= SET OF OBJECT IDENTIFIER ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_oid }) C ::= SET OF INTEGER ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_int }) They each have an action (do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_b and do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_e) that should only be processed if that element is matched. The problem is that there's no easy place to hang the action off in the subclause (type B for element 'b' and type C for element 'e') because subclause opcode sequences can be shared. To fix this, introduce a conditional action opcode(ASN1_OP_MAYBE_ACT) that the decoder only processes if the preceding match was successful. This can be seen in an excerpt from the output of the fixed ASN.1 compiler for the above ASN.1 description: [ 13] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP, // e [ 14] = _tagn(CONT, CONS, 3), [ 15] = _jump_target(45), // --> C [ 16] = ASN1_OP_MAYBE_ACT, [ 17] = _action(ACT_do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_e), In this, if the op at [13] is matched (ie. element 'e' above) then the action at [16] will be performed. However, if the op at [13] doesn't match or is skipped because it is conditional and some previous op matched, then the action at [16] will be ignored. Note that to make this work in the decoder, the ASN1_OP_RETURN op must set the flag to indicate that a match happened. This is necessary because the _jump_target() seen above introduces a subclause (in this case an object of type 'C') which is likely to alter the flag. Setting the flag here is okay because to process a subclause, a match must have happened and caused a jump. This cannot be tested with the code as it stands, but rather affects future code.

Fix the handling of CHOICE types in the ASN.1 compiler to make SEQUENCE and SET elements in a CHOICE be correctly rendered as skippable and conditional as appropriate. For example, in the following ASN.1: Foo ::= SEQUENCE { w1 INTEGER, w2 Bar, w3 OBJECT IDENTIFIER } Bar ::= CHOICE { x1 Seq1, x2 [0] IMPLICIT OCTET STRING, x3 Seq2, x4 SET OF INTEGER } Seq1 ::= SEQUENCE { y1 INTEGER, y2 INTEGER, y3 INTEGER } Seq2 ::= SEQUENCE { z1 BOOLEAN, z2 BOOLEAN, z3 BOOLEAN } the output in foo.c generated by: ./scripts/asn1_compiler foo.asn1 foo.c foo.h included: // Bar // Seq1 [ 4] = ASN1_OP_MATCH, [ 5] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SEQ), ... [ 13] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_OR_SKIP, // x2 [ 14] = _tagn(CONT, PRIM, 0), // Seq2 [ 15] = ASN1_OP_MATCH, [ 16] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SEQ), ... [ 24] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP, // x4 [ 25] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SET), ... [ 27] = ASN1_OP_COND_FAIL, as a result of the CHOICE - but this is wrong on lines 4 and 15 because both of these should be skippable (one and only one of the four can be picked) and the one on line 15 should also be conditional so that it is ignored if anything before it matches. After the patch, it looks like: // Bar // Seq1 [ 4] = ASN1_OP_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP, // x1 [ 5] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SEQ), ... [ 7] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_OR_SKIP, // x2 [ 8] = _tagn(CONT, PRIM, 0), // Seq2 [ 9] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP, // x3 [ 10] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SEQ), ... [ 12] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP, // x4 [ 13] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SET), ... [ 15] = ASN1_OP_COND_FAIL, where all four options are skippable and the second, third and fourth are all conditional, as is the backstop at the end. This hasn't been a problem so far because in the ASN.1 specs we have are either using primitives or are using SET OF and SEQUENCE OF which are handled correctly. Whilst we're at it, also make sure that element labels get included in comments in the output for elements that have complex types. This cannot be tested with the code as it stands, but rather affects future code. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Reviewed-By: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

Commit 6134d949 ("MIPS: asm: fpu: Allow 64-bit FPU on MIPS32 R6") added support for 64-bit FPU on a 32-bit MIPS R6 processor but it missed the 64-bit CPU case leading to FPU failures when requesting FR=1 mode (which is always the case for MIPS R6 userland) when running a 32-bit kernel on a 64-bit CPU.

The FPU rewrite removed the dynamic allocations of 'struct fpu'. But, this potentially wastes massive amounts of memory (2k per task on systems that do not have AVX-512 for instance). Instead of having a separate slab, this patch just appends the space that we need to the 'task_struct' which we dynamically allocate already. This saves from doing an extra slab allocation at fork(). The only real downside here is that we have to stick everything and the end of the task_struct. But, I think the BUILD_BUG_ON()s I stuck in there should keep that from being too fragile.

Currently, we set wrong gfp_mask to page_owner info in case of isolated freepage by compaction and split page. It causes incorrect mixed pageblock report that we can get from '/proc/pagetypeinfo'.

Without this patch, after kernel build workload is finished, number of mixed pageblock is 112 among roughly 210 movable pageblocks. But, with this fix, output shows that mixed pageblock is just 57.

When I tested my new patches, I found that page pointer which is used for setting page_owner information is changed. This is because page pointer is used to set new migratetype in loop. After this work, page pointer could be out of bound. If this wrong pointer is used for page_owner, access violation happens. Below is error message that I got.

fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can race with fsnotify_destroy_marks() so when fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() drops mark_mutex, a mark from the list iterated by fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can be freed and we dereference free memory in the loop there. Fix the problem by keeping mark_mutex held in fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked(). The reason why we drop that mutex is that we need to call a ->freeing_mark() callback which may acquire mark_mutex again. To avoid this and similar lock inversion issues, we move the call to ->freeing_mark() callback to the kthread destroying the mark.

/proc/*/cmdline code checks if it should look at ENVP area by checking last byte of ARGV area: rv = access_remote_vm(mm, arg_end - 1, &c, 1, 0); if (rv <= 0) goto out_free_page; If ARGV is somehow made empty (by doing execve(..., NULL, ...) or manually setting ->arg_start and ->arg_end to equal values), the decision will be based on byte which doesn't even belong to ARGV/ENVP. So, quickly check if ARGV area is empty and report 0 to match previous behaviour.

A hexdump with a buf not aligned to the groupsize causes non-naturally-aligned memory accesses. This was causing a kernel panic on the processor BlackFin BF527, when such an unaligned buffer was fed by the function ubifs_scanned_corruption in fs/ubifs/scan.c . To fix this, change accesses to the contents of the buffer so they go through get_unaligned(). This change should be harmless to unaligned- access-capable architectures, and any performance hit should be anyway dwarfed by the snprintf() processing time.

Commit 2ae416b1 ("mm: new mm hook framework") introduced an empty header file (mm-arch-hooks.h) for every architecture, even those which doesn't need to define mm hooks. As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use of a generic header file included via each per architecture asm/include/Kbuild file. The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has to defined the arch_remap MM hook.

Some modules call config_item_init_type_name() and config_group_init_type_name() with parameter "name" directly controlled by userspace. These two functions call config_item_set_name() with this name used as a format string, which can be used to leak information such as content of the stack to userspace. For example, make_netconsole_target() in netconsole module calls config_item_init_type_name() with the name of a newly-created directory. This means that the following commands give some unexpected output, with configfs mounted in /sys/kernel/config/ and on a system with a configured eth0 ethernet interface: # modprobe netconsole # mkdir /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx # echo eth0 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/dev_name # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/enabled # echo eth0 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/dev_name # dmesg |tail -n1 [ 142.697668] netconsole: target (target_ffffffffc0ae8080) is enabled, disable to update parameters The directory name is correct but %lx has been interpreted in the internal item name, displayed here in the error message used by store_dev_name() in drivers/net/netconsole.c. To fix this, update every caller of config_item_set_name to use "%s" when operating on untrusted input. This issue was found using -Wformat-security gcc flag, once a __printf attribute has been added to config_item_set_name().

Using __printf attributes helps to detect several format string issues at compile time (even though -Wformat-security is currently disabled in Makefile). For example it can detect when formatting a pointer as a number, like the issue fixed in commit a3fa71c4 ("wl18xx: show rx_frames_per_rates as an array as it really is"), or when the arguments do not match the format string, c.f. for example commit 5ce1aca8 ("reiserfs: fix __RASSERT format string"). To prevent similar bugs in the future, add a __printf attribute to every function prototype which needs one in include/linux/ and lib/. These functions were mostly found by using gcc's -Wsuggest-attribute=format flag.
