vsprintf: check real user/group id for %pK

2014-01-03T04:33:20Z

commit 312b4e226951f707e120b95b118cbc14f3d162b2 upstream. Some setuid binaries will allow reading of files which have read permission by the real user id. This is problematic with files which use %pK because the file access permission is checked at open() time, but the kptr_restrict setting is checked at read() time. If a setuid binary opens a %pK file as an unprivileged user, and then elevates permissions before reading the file, then kernel pointer values may be leaked. This happens for example with the setuid pppd application on Ubuntu 12.04: $ head -1 /proc/kallsyms 00000000 T startup_32 $ pppd file /proc/kallsyms pppd: In file /proc/kallsyms: unrecognized option 'c1000000' This will only leak the pointer value from the first line, but other setuid binaries may leak more information. Fix this by adding a check that in addition to the current process having CAP_SYSLOG, that effective user and group ids are equal to the real ids. If a setuid binary reads the contents of a file which uses %pK then the pointer values will be printed as NULL if the real user is unprivileged. Update the sysctl documentation to reflect the changes, and also correct the documentation to state the kptr_restrict=0 is the default. This is a only temporary solution to the issue. The correct solution is to do the permission check at open() time on files, and to replace %pK with a function which checks the open() time permission. %pK uses in printk should be removed since no sane permission check can be done, and instead protected by using dmesg_restrict.

lib/vsprintf.c: kptr_restrict: fix pK-error in SysRq show-all-timers(Q)

2012-08-09T23:25:01Z

commit 3715c5309f6d175c3053672b73fd4f73be16fd07 upstream. When using ALT+SysRq+Q all the pointers are replaced with "pK-error" like this: [23153.208033] .base: pK-error with echo h > /proc/sysrq-trigger it works: [23107.776363] .base: ffff88023e60d540 The intent behind this behavior was to return "pK-error" in cases where the %pK format specifier was used in interrupt context, because the CAP_SYSLOG check wouldn't be meaningful. Clearly this should only apply when kptr_restrict is actually enabled though.

lib: rename pack_hex_byte() to hex_byte_pack()

2011-11-01T00:30:56Z

As suggested by Andrew Morton in [1] there is better to have most significant part first in the function name. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/20/22 There is no functional change.

lib/kstrtox: common code between kstrto() and simple_strto() functions

2011-11-01T00:30:56Z

Currently termination logic (\0 or \n\0) is hardcoded in _kstrtoull(), avoid that for code reuse between kstrto*() and simple_strtoull(). Essentially, make them different only in termination logic. simple_strtoull() (and scanf(), BTW) ignores integer overflow, that's a bug we currently don't have guts to fix, making KSTRTOX_OVERFLOW hack necessary. Almost forgot: patch shrinks code size by about ~80 bytes on x86_64. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Merge 'akpm' patch series

Did this as a merge because of (trivial) conflicts in - Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt - arch/xtensa/include/asm/uaccess.h that were just easier to fix up in the merge than in the patch series.

lib: make _tolower() public

2011-07-26T03:57:16Z

This function is required by *printf and kstrto* functions that are located in the different modules. This patch makes _tolower() public. However, it's good idea to not use the helper outside of mentioned functions.
