commit 4683f42f upstream. In case the socket is already shutting down, bt_sock_recvmsg() returns with 0 without updating msg_namelen leading to net/socket.c leaking the local, uninitialized sockaddr_storage variable to userland -- 128 bytes of kernel stack memory. Fix this by moving the msg_namelen assignment in front of the shutdown test.

commit 792039c7 upstream. The L2CAP code fails to initialize the l2_bdaddr_type member of struct sockaddr_l2 and the padding byte added for alignment. It that for leaks two bytes kernel stack via the getsockname() syscall. Add an explicit memset(0) before filling the structure to avoid the info leak. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit e11e0455 ] If RFCOMM_DEFER_SETUP is set in the flags, rfcomm_sock_recvmsg() returns early with 0 without updating the possibly set msg_namelen member. This, in turn, leads to a 128 byte kernel stack leak in net/socket.c. Fix this by updating msg_namelen in this case. For all other cases it will be handled in bt_sock_stream_recvmsg(). Signed-off-by:

commit 0a9ab9bd upstream The length parameter should be sizeof(req->name) - 1 because there is no guarantee that string provided by userspace will contain the trailing '\0'. Can be easily reproduced by manually setting req->name to 128 non-zero bytes prior to ioctl(HIDPCONNADD) and checking the device name setup on input subsystem: $ cat /sys/devices/pnp0/00\:04/tty/ttyS0/hci0/hci0\:1/input8/name AAAAAA[...]AAAAAAAAf0:af:f0:af:f0:af ("f0:af:f0:af:f0:af" is the device bluetooth address, taken from "phys" field in struct hid_device due to overflow.)

commit bea1e22d upstream. Fix a crash in ipoib_mcast_join_task(). (with help from Or Gerlitz) Commit c8c2afe3 ("IPoIB: Use rtnl lock/unlock when changing device flags") added a call to rtnl_lock() in ipoib_mcast_join_task(), which is run from the ipoib_workqueue, and hence the workqueue can't be flushed from the context of ipoib_stop(). In the current code, ipoib_stop() (which doesn't flush the workqueue) calls ipoib_mcast_dev_flush(), which goes and deletes all the multicast entries. This takes place without any synchronization with a possible running instance of ipoib_mcast_join_task() for the same ipoib device, leading to a crash due to NULL pointer dereference. Fix this by making sure that the workqueue is flushed before ipoib_mcast_dev_flush() is called. To make that possible, we move the RTNL-lock wrapped code to ipoib_mcast_join_finish(). Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 93a3aa25 ] The D-Link DGE-530T rev C1 is a re-badged Realtek 8169 named DLG10028C, unlike the previous revisions which were skge based. It is probably the same as the discontinued DGE-528T (0x4300) other than the PCI ID. The PCI ID is 0x1186:0x4302. Adding it to r8169.c where 0x1186:0x4300 is already found makes the card be detected and work. This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38862Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 5d0feaff ] This was introduced in commit 6dccd16b "r8169: merge with version 6.001.00 of Realtek's r8169 driver". I did not find the version 6.001.00 online, but in 6.002.00 or any later r8169 from Realtek this hunk is no longer present. Also commit 05af2142 "r8169: fix Ethernet Hangup for RTL8110SC rev d" claims to have fixed this issue otherwise. The magic compare mask of 0xfffe000 is dubious as it masks parts of the Reserved part, and parts of the VLAN tag. But this does not make much sense as the VLAN tag parts are perfectly valid there. In matter of fact this seems to be triggered with any VLAN tagged packet as RxVlanTag bit is matched. I would suspect 0xfffe0000 was intended to test reserved part only. Finally, this hunk is evil as it can cause more packets to be handled than what was NAPI quota causing net/core/dev.c: net_rx_action(): WARN_ON_ONCE(work > weight) to trigger, and mess up the NAPI state causing device to hang. As result, any system using VLANs and having high receive traffic (so that NAPI poll budget limits rtl_rx) would result in device hang. Signed-off-by:

commit 0da9dfdd upstream. This fixes CVE-2013-1792. There is a race in install_user_keyrings() that can cause a NULL pointer dereference when called concurrently for the same user if the uid and uid-session keyrings are not yet created. It might be possible for an unprivileged user to trigger this by calling keyctl() from userspace in parallel immediately after logging in. Assume that we have two threads both executing lookup_user_key(), both looking for KEY_SPEC_USER_SESSION_KEYRING. THREAD A THREAD B =============================== =============================== ==>call install_user_keyrings(); if (!cred->user->session_keyring) ==>call install_user_keyrings() ... user->uid_keyring = uid_keyring; if (user->uid_keyring) return 0; <== key = cred->user->session_keyring [== NULL] user->session_keyring = session_keyring; atomic_inc(&key->usage); [oops] At the point thread A dereferences cred->user->session_keyring, thread B hasn't updated user->session_keyring yet, but thread A assumes it is populated because install_user_keyrings() returned ok. The race window is really small but can be exploited if, for example, thread B is interrupted or preempted after initializing uid_keyring, but before doing setting session_keyring. This couldn't be reproduced on a stock kernel. However, after placing systemtap probe on 'user->session_keyring = session_keyring;' that introduced some delay, the kernel could be crashed reliably. Fix this by checking both pointers before deciding whether to return. Alternatively, the test could be done away with entirely as it is checked inside the mutex - but since the mutex is global, that may not be the best way. Signed-off-by:

commit d6532207 upstream. This patch fixes the following kernel panic invoked by uninitialized fields in the chip initialization for the 1G bnx2 iSCSI offload. One of the bits in the chip initialization is being used by the latest firmware to control overflow packets. When this control bit gets enabled erroneously, it would ultimately result in a bad packet placement which would cause the bnx2 driver to dereference a NULL ptr in the placement handler. This can happen under certain stress I/O environment under the Linux iSCSI offload operation. This change only affects Broadcom's 5709 chipset.

USB surprise removal of sr is triggering an oops in scsi_dispatch_command(). What seems to be happening is that USB is hanging on to a queue reference until the last close of the upper device, so the crash is caused by surprise remove of a mounted CD followed by attempted unmount. The problem is that USB doesn't issue its final commands as part of the SCSI teardown path, but on last close when the block queue is long gone. The long term fix is probably to make sr do the teardown in the same way as sd (so remove all the lower bits on ejection, but keep the upper disk alive until last close of user space). However, the current oops can be simply fixed by not allowing any commands to be sent to a dead queue. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by:

commit 6d935928 upstream. Sometimes, warnings about ioctls to partition happen often enough that they form majority of the warnings in the kernel log and users complain. In some cases warnings are about ioctls such as SG_IO so it's not good to get rid of the warnings completely as they can ease debugging of userspace problems when ioctl is refused. Since I have seen warnings from lots of commands, including some proprietary userspace applications, I don't think disallowing the ioctls for processes with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will happen in the near future if ever. So lets just stop warning for processes with CAP_SYS_RAWIO for which ioctl is allowed.

commit ab1dd996 upstream. Calling RFbSetPower with uCH zero value will cause out of bound array reference. This causes 64 bit kernels to oops on boot. Note: Driver does not function on 64 bit kernels and should be blacklisted on them. Signed-off-by:

commit cc400e18 upstream. Some low-level comedi drivers (incorrectly) point `dev->read_subdev` or `dev->write_subdev` to a subdevice that does not support asynchronous commands. Comedi's poll(), read() and write() file operation handlers assume these subdevices do support asynchronous commands. In particular, they assume `s->async` is valid (where `s` points to the read or write subdevice), which it won't be if it has been set incorrectly. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference. Check `s->async` is non-NULL in `comedi_poll()`, `comedi_read()` and `comedi_write()` to avoid the bug. Signed-off-by:

commit 5d06e3df upstream. `parse_insn()` is dereferencing the user-space pointer `insn->data` directly when handling the `INSN_INTTRIG` comedi instruction. It shouldn't be using `insn->data` at all; it should be using the separate `data` pointer passed to the function. Fix it. Signed-off-by:

commit b655c2c4 upstream. `s626_enc_insn_config()` is incorrectly dereferencing `insn->data` which is a pointer to user memory. It should be dereferencing the separate `data` parameter that points to a copy of the data in kernel memory. Signed-off-by:

commit c8cad4c8 upstream. When `do_cmd_ioctl()` allocates memory for the kernel copy of a channel list, it frees any previously allocated channel list in `async->cmd.chanlist` and replaces it with the new one. However, if the device is ever removed (or "detached") the cleanup code in `cleanup_device()` in "drivers.c" does not free this memory so it is lost. A sensible place to free the kernel copy of the channel list is in `do_become_nonbusy()` as at that point the comedi asynchronous command associated with the channel list is no longer valid. Free the channel list in `do_become_nonbusy()` instead of `do_cmd_ioctl()` and clear the pointer to prevent it being freed more than once. Note that `cleanup_device()` could be called at an inappropriate time while the comedi device is open, but that's a separate bug not related to this this patch. Signed-off-by:

commit c0729eee upstream. Éric Piel reported a kernel oops in the "comedi_test" module. It was a NULL pointer dereference within `waveform_ai_interrupt()` (actually a timer function) that sometimes occurred when a running asynchronous command is cancelled (either by the `COMEDI_CANCEL` ioctl or by closing the device file). This seems to be a race between the caller of `waveform_ai_cancel()` which on return from that function goes and tears down the running command, and the timer function which uses the command. In particular, `async->cmd.chanlist` gets freed (and the pointer set to NULL) by `do_become_nonbusy()` in "comedi_fops.c" but a previously scheduled `waveform_ai_interrupt()` timer function will dereference that pointer regardless, leading to the oops. Fix it by replacing the `del_timer()` call in `waveform_ai_cancel()` with `del_timer_sync()`. Signed-off-by:

Commit 22056e2b upstream. Tuomas <tvainikk _at_ gmail _dot_ com> reported problems getting meaningful output from a Lab-PC+ in differential mode for AI cmds, but AI insn reads gave correct readings. He tracked it down to two problems, one of which is addressed by this patch. It seems that writing to the command3 register after writing to the command4 register in `labpc_ai_cmd()` messes up the differential reference bit setting in the command4 register. Set up the command4 register after the command3 register (as in `labpc_ai_rinsn()`) to avoid the problem. Thanks to Tuomas for suggesting the fix. Signed-off-by:

Commit 4c4bc25d upstream. Tuomas <tvainikk _at_ gmail _dot_ com> reported problems getting meaningful output from a Lab-PC+ in differential mode for AI cmds, but AI insn reads gave correct readings. He tracked it down to two problems, one of which is addressed by this patch. It seems the setting of the channel bits for particular scanning modes was incorrect for differential mode. (Only half the number of channels are available in differential mode; comedi refers to them as channels 0, 1, 2 and 3, but the hardware documentation refers to them as channels 0, 2, 4 and 6.) In differential mode, the setting of the channel enable bits in the command1 register should depend on whether the scan enable bit is set. Effectively, we need to double the comedi channel number when the scan enable bit is not set in differential mode. The scan enable bit gets set when the AI scan mode is `MODE_MULT_CHAN_UP` or `MODE_MULT_CHAN_DOWN`, and gets cleared when the AI scan mode is `MODE_SINGLE_CHAN` or `MODE_SINGLE_CHAN_INTERVAL`. The existing test for whether the comedi channel number needs to be doubled in differential mode is incorrect in `labpc_ai_cmd()`. This patch corrects the test. Thanks to Tuomas for suggesting the fix. Signed-off-by:

I was too lazy to bisect for bad commit;) Reading the code I found problematic kthread_should_stop call from netlink connector which causes the oops. After applying a patch, I've been testing owfs+w1 setup for nearly two days and it seems to work very reliable (no hangs, no memleaks etc). More detailed description and possible fix is given below: Function w1_search can be called from either kthread or netlink callback. While the former works fine, the latter causes oops due to kthread_should_stop invocation. This patch adds a check if w1_search is serving netlink command, skipping kthread_should_stop invocation if so. Signed-off-by:

With virtual machines like qemu, it's pretty common to see "too much work for irq4" messages nowadays. This happens when a bunch of output is printed on the emulated serial console. This is caused by too low PASS_LIMIT. When ISR loops more than the limit, it spits the message. I've been using a kernel with doubled the limit and I couldn't see no problems. Maybe it's time to get rid of the message now? [2.6.32: background info from Ram Gupta] > I need a patch for serial driver that increases PASS_LIMIT merged in > 3.1.
