commit 45292be0 upstream. For some reason, the driver does not consider allocation of the subdevice private data to be a fatal error when attaching the COMEDI device. It tests the subdevice private data pointer for validity at certain points, but omits some crucial tests. In particular, `jr3_pci_auto_attach()` calls `jr3_pci_alloc_spriv()` to allocate and initialize the subdevice private data, but the same function subsequently dereferences the pointer to access the `next_time_min` and `next_time_max` members without checking it first. The other missing test is in the timer expiry routine `jr3_pci_poll_dev()`, but it will crash before it gets that far. Fix the bug by returning `-ENOMEM` from `jr3_pci_auto_attach()` as soon as one of the calls to `jr3_pci_alloc_spriv()` returns `NULL`. The COMEDI core will subsequently call `jr3_pci_detach()` to clean up. Signed-off-by:

commit 6830733d upstream. The driver uses a relatively large data structure on the stack, which showed up on my radar as we get a warning with the "latent entropy" GCC plugin: drivers/media/usb/pvrusb2/pvrusb2-eeprom.c:153:1: error: the frame size of 1376 bytes is larger than 1152 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] The warning is usually hidden as we raise the warning limit to 2048 when the plugin is enabled, but I'd like to lower that again in the future, and making this function smaller helps to do that without build regressions. Further analysis shows that putting an 'i2c_client' structure on the stack is not really supported, as the embedded 'struct device' is not initialized here, and we are only saved by the fact that the function that is called here does not use the pointer at all.

commit ba3021b2 upstream. snd_timer_user_tselect() reallocates the queue buffer dynamically, but it forgot to reset its indices. Since the read may happen concurrently with ioctl and snd_timer_user_tselect() allocates the buffer via kmalloc(), this may lead to the leak of uninitialized kernel-space data, as spotted via KMSAN: BUG: KMSAN: use of unitialized memory in snd_timer_user_read+0x6c4/0xa10 CPU: 0 PID: 1037 Comm: probe Not tainted 4.11.0-rc5+ #2739 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Call Trace: __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:16 dump_stack+0x143/0x1b0 lib/dump_stack.c:52 kmsan_report+0x12a/0x180 mm/kmsan/kmsan.c:1007 kmsan_check_memory+0xc2/0x140 mm/kmsan/kmsan.c:1086 copy_to_user ./arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:725 snd_timer_user_read+0x6c4/0xa10 sound/core/timer.c:2004 do_loop_readv_writev fs/read_write.c:716 __do_readv_writev+0x94c/0x1380 fs/read_write.c:864 do_readv_writev fs/read_write.c:894 vfs_readv fs/read_write.c:908 do_readv+0x52a/0x5d0 fs/read_write.c:934 SYSC_readv+0xb6/0xd0 fs/read_write.c:1021 SyS_readv+0x87/0xb0 fs/read_write.c:1018 This patch adds the missing reset of queue indices.

commit d11662f4 upstream. The read from ALSA timer device, the function snd_timer_user_tread(), may access to an uninitialized struct snd_timer_user fields when the read is concurrently performed while the ioctl like snd_timer_user_tselect() is invoked. We have already fixed the races among ioctls via a mutex, but we seem to have forgotten the race between read vs ioctl. This patch simply applies (more exactly extends the already applied range of) tu->ioctl_lock in snd_timer_user_tread() for closing the race window. Reported-by:

commit 98da7d08 upstream. When limiting the argv/envp strings during exec to 1/4 of the stack limit, the storage of the pointers to the strings was not included. This means that an exec with huge numbers of tiny strings could eat 1/4 of the stack limit in strings and then additional space would be later used by the pointers to the strings. For example, on 32-bit with a 8MB stack rlimit, an exec with 1677721 single-byte strings would consume less than 2MB of stack, the max (8MB / 4) amount allowed, but the pointers to the strings would consume the remaining additional stack space (1677721 * 4 == 6710884). The result (1677721 + 6710884 == 8388605) would exhaust stack space entirely. Controlling this stack exhaustion could result in pathological behavior in setuid binaries (CVE-2017-1000365).

commit a4866aa8 upstream. Under CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM, reading System RAM through /dev/mem is disallowed. However, on x86, the first 1MB was always allowed for BIOS and similar things, regardless of it actually being System RAM. It was possible for heap to end up getting allocated in low 1MB RAM, and then read by things like x86info or dd, which would trip hardened usercopy: usercopy: kernel memory exposure attempt detected from ffff880000090000 (dma-kmalloc-256) (4096 bytes) This changes the x86 exception for the low 1MB by reading back zeros for System RAM areas instead of blindly allowing them. More work is needed to extend this to mmap, but currently mmap doesn't go through usercopy, so hardened usercopy won't Oops the kernel. Reported-by:

commit 8179a101 upstream. ceph_set_acl() calls __ceph_setattr() if the setacl operation needs to modify inode's i_mode. __ceph_setattr() updates inode's i_mode, then calls posix_acl_chmod(). The problem is that __ceph_setattr() calls posix_acl_chmod() before sending the setattr request. The get_acl() call in posix_acl_chmod() can trigger a getxattr request. The reply of the getxattr request can restore inode's i_mode to its old value. The set_acl() call in posix_acl_chmod() sees old value of inode's i_mode, so it calls __ceph_setattr() again.

commit 3018e947 upstream. AP/AP_VLAN modes don't accept any real 802.11 multicast data frames, but since they do need to accept broadcast management frames the same is currently permitted for data frames. This opens a security problem because such frames would be decrypted with the GTK, and could even contain unicast L3 frames. Since the spec says that ToDS frames must always have the BSSID as the RA (addr1), reject any other data frames. The problem was originally reported in "Predicting, Decrypting, and Abusing WPA2/802.11 Group Keys" at usenix https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity16/technical-sessions/presentation/vanhoef and brought to my attention by Jouni.

commit 78f7a45d upstream. I noticed that reading the snapshot file when it is empty no longer gives a status. It suppose to show the status of the snapshot buffer as well as how to allocate and use it. For example: ># cat snapshot # tracer: nop # # # * Snapshot is allocated * # # Snapshot commands: # echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer # echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated. # Takes a snapshot of the main buffer. # echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate or free) # (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that # is not a '0' or '1') But instead it just showed an empty buffer: ># cat snapshot # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 0/0 #P:4 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | What happened was that it was using the ring_buffer_iter_empty() function to see if it was empty, and if it was, it showed the status. But that function was returning false when it was empty. The reason was that the iter header page was on the reader page, and the reader page was empty, but so was the buffer itself. The check only tested to see if the iter was on the commit page, but the commit page was no longer pointing to the reader page, but as all pages were empty, the buffer is also.

commit fe8c470a upstream. gcc -O2 cannot always prove that the loop in acpi_power_get_inferred_state() is enterered at least once, so it assumes that cur_state might not get initialized: drivers/acpi/power.c: In function 'acpi_power_get_inferred_state': drivers/acpi/power.c:222:9: error: 'cur_state' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] This sets the variable to zero at the start of the loop, to ensure that there is well-defined behavior even for an empty list. This gets rid of the warning. The warning first showed up when the -Os flag got removed in a bug fix patch in linux-4.11-rc5. I would suggest merging this addon patch on top of that bug fix to avoid introducing a new warning in the stable kernels.

commit df62db5b upstream. Currently the snapshot trigger enables the probe and then allocates the snapshot. If the probe triggers before the allocation, it could cause the snapshot to fail and turn tracing off. It's best to allocate the snapshot buffer first, and then enable the trigger. If something goes wrong in the enabling of the trigger, the snapshot buffer is still allocated, but it can also be freed by the user by writting zero into the snapshot buffer file. Also add a check of the return status of alloc_snapshot(). Fixes: 77fd5c15 ("tracing: Add snapshot trigger to function probes") Signed-off-by:

commit 62a6cfdd upstream. commit 4fcd1813 ("Fix reconnect to not defer smb3 session reconnect long after socket reconnect") added support for Negotiate requests to be initiated by echo calls. To avoid delays in calling echo after a reconnect, I added the patch introduced by the commit b8c60012 ("Call echo service immediately after socket reconnect"). This has however caused a regression with cifs shares which do not have support for echo calls to trigger Negotiate requests. On connections which need to call Negotiation, the echo calls trigger an error which triggers a reconnect which in turn triggers another echo call. This results in a loop which is only broken when an operation is performed on the cifs share. For an idle share, it can DOS a server. The patch uses the smb_operation can_echo() for cifs so that it is called only if connection has been already been setup. kernel bz: 194531 Signed-off-by:

commit 34a477e5 upstream. On x86-32, with CONFIG_FIRMWARE and multiple CPUs, if you enable function graph tracing and then suspend to RAM, it will triple fault and reboot when it resumes. The first fault happens when booting a secondary CPU: startup_32_smp() load_ucode_ap() prepare_ftrace_return() ftrace_graph_is_dead() (accesses 'kill_ftrace_graph') The early head_32.S code calls into load_ucode_ap(), which has an an ftrace hook, so it calls prepare_ftrace_return(), which calls ftrace_graph_is_dead(), which tries to access the global 'kill_ftrace_graph' variable with a virtual address, causing a fault because the CPU is still in real mode. The fix is to add a check in prepare_ftrace_return() to make sure it's running in protected mode before continuing. The check makes sure the stack pointer is a virtual kernel address. It's a bit of a hack, but it's not very intrusive and it works well enough. For reference, here are a few other (more difficult) ways this could have potentially been fixed: - Move startup_32_smp()'s call to load_ucode_ap() down to *after* paging is enabled. (No idea what that would break.) - Track down load_ucode_ap()'s entire callee tree and mark all the functions 'notrace'. (Probably not realistic.) - Pause graph tracing in ftrace_suspend_notifier_call() or bringup_cpu() or __cpu_up(), and ensure that the pause facility can be queried from real mode. Reported-by:

commit d72e9a7a upstream. The copy_page is optimized memcpy for page-alinged address. If it is used with non-page aligned address, it can corrupt memory which means system corruption. With zram, it can happen with 1. 64K architecture 2. partial IO 3. slub debug Partial IO need to allocate a page and zram allocates it via kmalloc. With slub debug, kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE) doesn't return page-size aligned address. And finally, copy_page(mem, cmem) corrupts memory. So, this patch changes it to memcpy. Actuaully, we don't need to change zram_bvec_write part because zsmalloc returns page-aligned address in case of PAGE_SIZE class but it's not good to rely on the internal of zsmalloc. Note: When this patch is merged to stable, clear_page should be fixed, too. Unfortunately, recent zram removes it by "same page merge" feature so it's hard to backport this patch to -stable tree. I will handle it when I receive the mail from stable tree maintainer to merge this patch to backport.

commit 4e7655fd upstream. The snd_use_lock_sync() (thus its implementation snd_use_lock_sync_helper()) has the 5 seconds timeout to break out of the sync loop. It was introduced from the beginning, just to be "safer", in terms of avoiding the stupid bugs. However, as Ben Hutchings suggested, this timeout rather introduces a potential leak or use-after-free that was apparently fixed by the commit 2d7d5400 ("ALSA: seq: Fix race during FIFO resize"): for example, snd_seq_fifo_event_in() -> snd_seq_event_dup() -> copy_from_user() could block for a long time, and snd_use_lock_sync() goes timeout and still leaves the cell at releasing the pool. For fixing such a problem, we remove the break by the timeout while still keeping the warning. Suggested-by:

commit a8f60d1f upstream. On heavy paging with KSM I see guest data corruption. Turns out that KSM will add pages to its tree, where the mapping return true for pte_unused (or might become as such later). KSM will unmap such pages and reinstantiate with different attributes (e.g. write protected or special, e.g. in replace_page or write_protect_page)). This uncovered a bug in our pagetable handling: We must remove the unused flag as soon as an entry becomes present again. Signed-of-by:

commit a0918f1c upstream. STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME can be received during node failover, causing the flag to be set and making the reconnect thread always unsuccessful, thereafter. Once the only place where it is set is removed, the remaining bits are rendered moot. Removing it does not prevent "mount" from failing when a non existent share is passed. What happens when the share really ceases to exist while the share is mounted is undefined now as much as it was before. Signed-off-by:

commit 6fdc6dd9 upstream. The vsyscall32 sysctl can racy against a concurrent fork when it switches from disabled to enabled: arch_setup_additional_pages() if (vdso32_enabled) --> No mapping sysctl.vsysscall32() --> vdso32_enabled = true create_elf_tables() ARCH_DLINFO_IA32 if (vdso32_enabled) { --> Add VDSO entry with NULL pointer Make ARCH_DLINFO_IA32 check whether the VDSO mapping has been set up for the newly forked process or not.

commit c06989da upstream. vdso_enabled can be set to arbitrary integer values via the kernel command line 'vdso32=' parameter or via 'sysctl abi.vsyscall32'. load_vdso32() only maps VDSO if vdso_enabled == 1, but ARCH_DLINFO_IA32 merily checks for vdso_enabled != 0. As a consequence the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR auxiliary vector for the VDSO_ENTRY is emitted with a NULL pointer which causes a segfault when the application tries to use the VDSO. Restrict the valid arguments on the command line and the sysctl to 0 and 1. Fixes: b0b49f26 ("x86, vdso: Remove compat vdso support") Signed-off-by:

commit 321a52a3 upstream. pppol2tp_getsockopt() doesn't take into account the error code returned by pppol2tp_tunnel_getsockopt() or pppol2tp_session_getsockopt(). If error occurs there, pppol2tp_getsockopt() continues unconditionally and reports erroneous values. Fixes: fd558d18 ("l2tp: Split pppol2tp patch into separate l2tp and ppp parts") Signed-off-by:
