This is a trivial backport of the following upstream commits: - bd39597c (ext2) - cdbf6dba (ext3) - 9d9f1775 (ext4) This addresses CVE-2008-3528 ext[234]: Avoid printk floods in the face of directory corruption Note: some people thinks this represents a security bug, since it might make the system go away while it is printing a large number of console messages, especially if a serial console is involved. Hence, it has been assigned CVE-2008-3528, but it requires that the attacker either has physical access to your machine to insert a USB disk with a corrupted filesystem image (at which point why not just hit the power button), or is otherwise able to convince the system administrator to mount an arbitrary filesystem image (at which point why not just include a setuid shell or world-writable hard disk device file or some such). Me, I think they're just being silly. --tytso Signed-off-by:

commit 978ccaa8 upstream We can get the following oops from gpio_get_value_cansleep() when a GPIO controller doesn't provide a get() callback: Unable to handle kernel paging request for instruction fetch Faulting instruction address: 0x00000000 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] [...] NIP [00000000] 0x0 LR [c0182fb0] gpio_get_value_cansleep+0x40/0x50 Call Trace: [c7b79e80] [c0183f28] gpio_value_show+0x5c/0x94 [c7b79ea0] [c01a584c] dev_attr_show+0x30/0x7c [c7b79eb0] [c00d6b48] fill_read_buffer+0x68/0xe0 [c7b79ed0] [c00d6c54] sysfs_read_file+0x94/0xbc [c7b79ef0] [c008f24c] vfs_read+0xb4/0x16c [c7b79f10] [c008f580] sys_read+0x4c/0x90 [c7b79f40] [c0013a14] ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x38 It's OK to request the value of *any* GPIO; most GPIOs are bidirectional, so configuring them as outputs just enables an output driver and doesn't disable the input logic. So the problem is that gpio_get_value_cansleep() isn't making the same sanity check that gpio_get_value() does: making sure this GPIO isn't one of the atypical "no input logic" cases. Reported-by:

commit 4b408939 upstream Olaf Kirch noticed that the i915_set_status_page() function of the i915 kernel driver calls ioremap with an address offset that is supplied by userspace via ioctl. The function zeroes the mapped memory via memset and tells the hardware about the address. Turns out that access to that ioctl is not restricted to root so users could probably exploit that to do nasty things. We haven't tried to write actual exploit code though. It only affects the Intel G33 series and newer. Signed-off-by:

commit b5ff7df3 upstream Check mapped ranges on sysfs resource files This is loosely based on a patch by Jesse Barnes to check the user-space PCI mappings though the sysfs interfaces. Quoting Jesse's original explanation: It's fairly common for applications to map PCI resources through sysfs. However, with the current implementation, it's possible for an application to map far more than the range corresponding to the resourceN file it opened. This patch plugs that hole by checking the range at mmap time, similar to what is done on platforms like sparc64 in their lower level PCI remapping routines. It was initially put together to help debug the e1000e NVRAM corruption problem, since we initially thought an X driver might be walking past the end of one of its mappings and clobbering the NVRAM. It now looks like that's not the case, but doing the check is still important for obvious reasons. and this version of the patch differs in that it uses a helper function to clarify the code, and does all the checks in pages (instead of bytes) in order to avoid overflows when doing "<< PAGE_SHIFT" etc. [cebbert@redhat.com: backport, changing WARN() to printk()] Acked-by:

commit efc968d4 upstream This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination. It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example. So we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones. But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought, and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file). So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now. I doubt anybody cares, and this way we have one less gray area to worry about. Reported-and-argued-for-by:

If a bttv device without radio and one with radio are installed on the same system, and the one without radio is registered first, then radio_open checks for the radio device number of a bttv device that has no radio function, and this breaks. All we have to do to fix it is to skip bttv devices without a radio function. Signed-off-by:

commit 97b697a1 upstream I recently bought 3 HGST P7K500-series 500GB SATA drives and had trouble accessing the block right on the LBA28-LBA48 border. Here's how it fails (same for all 3 drives): # dd if=/dev/sdc bs=512 count=1 skip=268435455 > /dev/null dd: reading `/dev/sdc': Input/output error 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.288033 seconds, 0.0 kB/s # dmesg ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 ata1.00: cmd c8/00:08:f8:ff:ff/00:00:00:00:00/ef tag 0 dma 4096 in res 51/04:08:f8:ff:ff/00:00:00:00:00/ef Emask 0x1 (device error) ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } ata1.00: error: { ABRT } ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33 ata1: EH complete ... After some investigations, it turned out this seems to be caused by misinterpretation of the ATA specification on LBA28 access. Following part is the code in question: === include/linux/ata.h === static inline int lba_28_ok(u64 block, u32 n_block) { /* check the ending block number */ return ((block + n_block - 1) < ((u64)1 << 28)) && (n_block <= 256); } HGST drive (sometimes) fails with LBA28 access of {block = 0xfffffff, n_block = 1}, and this behavior seems to be comformant. Other drives, including other HGST drives are not that strict, through. >From the ATA specification: (http://www.t13.org/Documents/UploadedDocuments/project/d1410r3b-ATA-ATAPI-6.pdf) 8.15.29 Word (61:60): Total number of user addressable sectors This field contains a value that is one greater than the total number of user addressable sectors (see 6.2). The maximum value that shall be placed in this field is 0FFFFFFFh. So the driver shouldn't use the value of 0xfffffff for LBA28 request as this exceeds maximum user addressable sector. The logical maximum value for LBA28 is 0xffffffe. The obvious fix is to cut "- 1" part, and the patch attached just do that. I've been using the patched kernel for about a month now, and the same fix is also floating on the net for some time. So I believe this fix works reliably. Just FYI, many Windows/Intel platform users also seems to be struck by this, and HGST has issued a note pointing to Intel ICH8/9 driver. "28-bit LBA command is being used to access LBAs 29-bits in length" http://www.hitachigst.com/hddt/knowtree.nsf/cffe836ed7c12018862565b000530c74/b531b8bce8745fb78825740f00580e23 Also, *BSDs seems to have similar fix included sometime around ~2004, through I have not checked out exact portion of the code.

commit 5dbfc9cb upstream As an optimization, follow-up SRST used to be skipped if classification wasn't requested even when hardreset requested it via -EAGAIN. However, some hardresets can't wait for device readiness and skipping SRST can cause timeout or other failures during revalidation. Always perform follow-up SRST if hardreset returns -EAGAIN. This makes reset paths more predictable and thus less error-prone. While at it, move hardreset error checking such that it's done right after hardreset is finished. This simplifies followup SRST condition check a bit and makes the reset path easier to modify. Signed-off-by:

commit 0752f152 upstream When we do a seekdir() or equivalent, we usually end up doing a FindFirst call and then call FindNext until we get to the offset that we want. The problem is that when we call FindNext, the code usually doesn't have the proper info (mostly, the filename of the entry from the last search) to resume the search. Add a "last_entry" field to the cifs_search_info that points to the last entry in the search. We calculate this pointer by using the LastNameOffset field from the search parms that are returned. We then use that info to do a cifs_save_resume_key before we call CIFSFindNext. This patch allows CIFS to reliably pass the "telldir" connectathon test. Signed-off-by:

commit f6121f4f upstream While working on the new version of the code for SCHED_SPORADIC I noticed something strange in the present throttling mechanism. More specifically in the throttling timer handler in sched_rt.c (do_sched_rt_period_timer()) and in rt_rq_enqueue(). The problem is that, when unthrottling a runqueue, rt_rq_enqueue() only asks for rescheduling if the runqueue has a sched_entity associated to it (i.e., rt_rq->rt_se != NULL). Now, if the runqueue is the root rq (which has a rt_se = NULL) rescheduling does not take place, and it is delayed to some undefined instant in the future. This imply some random bandwidth usage by the RT tasks under throttling. For instance, setting rt_runtime_us/rt_period_us = 950ms/1000ms an RT task will get less than 95%. In our tests we got something varying between 70% to 95%. Using smaller time values, e.g., 95ms/100ms, things are even worse, and I can see values also going down to 20-25%!! The tests we performed are simply running 'yes' as a SCHED_FIFO task, and checking the CPU usage with top, but we can investigate thoroughly if you think it is needed. Things go much better, for us, with the attached patch... Don't know if it is the best approach, but it solved the issue for us. Signed-off-by:

Not in upstream above 2.6.27 due to change in the way this code works (has been fixed differently there.) Someone from the community found out, that after repeatedly unloading and loading a device driver that uses MSI IRQs, the system eventually assigned the vector initially reserved for IRQ0 to the device driver. The reason for this is, that although IRQ0 is tied to the FIRST_DEVICE_VECTOR when declaring the irq_vector table, the corresponding bit in the used_vectors map is not set. So, if vectors are released and assigned often enough, the vector will get assigned to another interrupt. This happens more often with MSI interrupts as those are exclusively using a vector. Fix this by setting the bit for the FIRST_DEVICE_VECTOR in the bitmap. Signed-off-by:

commit 3d6e48f4 upstream When running a 31-bit ptrace, on either an s390 or s390x kernel, reads and writes into a padding area in struct user_regs_struct32 will result in a kernel panic. This is also known as CVE-2008-1514. Test case available here: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/user-area-padding.c?cvsroot=systemtap Steps to reproduce: 1) wget the above 2) gcc -o user-area-padding-31bit user-area-padding.c -Wall -ggdb2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -m31 3) ./user-area-padding-31bit <panic> Test status ----------- Without patch, both s390 and s390x kernels panic. With patch, the test case, as well as the gdb testsuite, pass without incident, padding area reads returning zero, writes ignored. Nb: original version returned -EINVAL on write attempts, which broke the gdb test and made the test case slightly unhappy, Jan Kratochvil suggested the change to return 0 on write attempts.

[Here's a backport of 2.6.27-rc8's 31a78f23 to 2.6.26 or 2.6.26.5: I wouldn't trouble -stable for the (root only) swapoff case which uncovered the bug, but the /proc/<pid>/<mmstats> case is open to all, so I think worth plugging in the next 2.6.26-stable. - Hugh] There's a race between mm->owner assignment and swapoff, more easily seen when task slab poisoning is turned on. The condition occurs when try_to_unuse() runs in parallel with an exiting task. A similar race can occur with callers of get_task_mm(), such as /proc/<pid>/<mmstats> or ptrace or page migration. CPU0 CPU1 try_to_unuse looks at mm = task0->mm increments mm->mm_users task 0 exits mm->owner needs to be updated, but no new owner is found (mm_users > 1, but no other task has task->mm = task0->mm) mm_update_next_owner() leaves mmput(mm) decrements mm->mm_users task0 freed dereferencing mm->owner fails The fix is to notify the subsystem via mm_owner_changed callback(), if no new owner is found, by specifying the new task as NULL. Jiri Slaby: mm->owner was set to NULL prior to calling cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks(), but must be set after that, so as not to pass NULL as old owner causing oops. Daisuke Nishimura: mm_update_next_owner() may set mm->owner to NULL, but mem_cgroup_from_task() and its callers need to take account of this situation to avoid oops. Hugh Dickins: Lockdep warning and hang below exec_mmap() when testing these patches. exit_mm() up_reads mmap_sem before calling mm_update_next_owner(), so exec_mmap() now needs to do the same. And with that repositioning, there's now no point in mm_need_new_owner() allowing for NULL mm. Reported-by:

commit 2e4a75cd upstream When userspace uses SIGIO notification and forgets to disable it before closing file descriptor, rtc->async_queue contains stale pointer to struct file. When user space enables again SIGIO notification in different process, kernel dereferences this (poisoned) pointer and crashes. So disable SIGIO notification on close.

commit 08650869 upstream Commit 22af89aa ("fbcon: replace mono_col macro with static inline") changed the order of operations for computing monochrome color values. This generates 0xffff000f instead of 0x0000000f for a 4 bit monochrome color, leading to image corruption if it is passed to cfb_imageblit or other similar functions. Fix it up.
