2014-02-01 10:54:17 John Johansen description Reported by pageexec asmlinkage long compat_sys_recvmmsg(int fd, struct compat_mmsghdr __user *mmsg, unsigned int vlen, unsigned int flags, struct compat_timespec __user *timeout) { int datagrams; struct timespec ktspec; if (flags & MSG_CMSG_COMPAT) return -EINVAL; if (COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME) return __sys_recvmmsg(fd, (struct mmsghdr __user *)mmsg, vlen, flags | MSG_CMSG_COMPAT, (struct timespec *) timeout); /*...*/ The timeout pointer parameter is provided by userland (hence the __user annotation) but for x32 syscalls it's simply cast to a kernel pointer and is passed to __sys_recvmmsg which will eventually directly dereference it for both reading and writing. Other callers to __sys_recvmmsg properly copy from userland to the kernel first. The impact is a sort of arbitrary kernel write-where-what primitive by unprivileged users where the to-be-written area must contain valid timespec data initially (the first 64 bit long field must be positive and the second one must be < 1G). The bug was introduced by commit http://git.kernel.org/linus/ee4fa23c4b (other uses of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME seem fine) and should affect all kernels since 3.4 (and perhaps vendor kernels if they backported x32 support along with this code). Note that CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI gets enabled at build time and only if CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled and ld can build x32 executables. The timeout pointer parameter is provided by userland (hence the __user annotation) but for x32 syscalls it's simply cast to a kernel pointer and is passed to __sys_recvmmsg which will eventually directly dereference it for both reading and writing. Other callers to __sys_recvmmsg properly copy from userland to the kernel first. The impact is a sort of arbitrary kernel write-where-what primitive by unprivileged users where the to-be-written area must contain valid timespec data initially (the first 64 bit long field must be positive and the second one must be < 1G).
