Jonathan Corbet authored
So I spent a while pounding my head against my monitor trying to figure out the vmsplice() vulnerability - how could a failure to check for *read* access turn into a root exploit? It turns out that it's a buffer overflow problem which is made easy by the way get_user_pages() is coded. In particular, "len" is a signed int, and it is only checked at the *end* of a do {} while() loop. So, if it is passed in as zero, the loop will execute once and decrement len to -1. At that point, the loop will proceed until the next invalid address is found; in the process, it will likely overflow the pages array passed in to get_user_pages(). I think that, if get_user_pages() has been asked to grab zero pages, that's what it should do. Thus this patch; it is, among other things, enough to block the (already fixed) root exploit and any others which might be lurking in similar code. I also think that the number of pages should be unsigned, but changing the prototype of this function probably requires some more careful review.

Since we may not have a pci_dev for the device we need to access, we can't use pci_read_config_word. But raw_pci_read is an internal implementation detail; it's better to use the architected pci_bus_read_config_word interface. Using PCI_DEVFN instead of a mysterious constant helps reassure everyone that we really do intend to access device 8. [ Thanks to Grant Grundler for pointing out to me that this is exactly what the write immediately above this is doing -- enabling device 8 to respond to config space cycles. - Matthew Grant also says: "Can you also add a comment which points at the Intel documentation?

commit 813a0eb2 Author: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com> Date: Fri Jan 25 22:17:10 2008 +0100 ide: switch idedisk_prepare_flush() to use REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE requests ... broke flush requests. Allocating IDE command structure on the stack for flush requests is not a very brilliant idea: - idedisk_prepare_flush() only prepares the request and it doesn't wait for it to be completed - there are can be multiple flush requests queued in the queue Fix the problem (per hints from James Bottomley) by: - dynamically allocating ide_task_t instance using kmalloc(..., GFP_ATOMIC) - adding new taskfile flag (IDE_TFLAG_DYN) - calling kfree() in ide_end_drive_command() if IDE_TFLAG_DYN is set (while at it rename 'args' to 'task' and fix whitespace damage) [ This will be fixed properly before 2.6.25 but this bug is rather critical and the proper solution requires some more work + testing. ] Thanks to Sebastian Siewior and Christoph Hellwig for reporting the problem and testing patches (extra thanks to Sebastian for bisecting it to the guilty commmit).

I have reviewed all blk-end-request patches again to confirm whether there are any similar problems with the last week's ide-cd panic: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/29/140 And I found a possible similar bug in ide-io change: ide_end_drive_cmd() could be called for blk_pc_request() which could have bios. To complete such requests correctly, we need to pass the actual size of the request. Otherwise, __blk_end_request() returns 1 because the request still has bios, and the system will BUG() unnecessarily. The following patch fixes the bug and should be applied on top of Linus' git.
