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

2014-02-20T18:45:33Z

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.

vsprintf: check real user/group id for %pK

2013-12-04T18:50:14Z

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.

Merge tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux

2012-03-24T17:24:31Z

Pull cleanup of fs/ and lib/ users of module.h from Paul Gortmaker: "Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really need it. These are trivial in scope vs the work done previously. We now have things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible. What is remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir. Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed." Fix up trivial conflicts due to clashes with other include file cleanups (including some due to the previous bug.h cleanup pull). * tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible fs: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible includecheck: delete any duplicate instances of module.h

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along the way. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

vsprintf: make %pV handling compatible with kasprintf()

2012-03-06T16:22:26Z

kasprintf() (and potentially other functions that I didn't run across so far) want to evaluate argument lists twice. Caring to do so for the primary list is obviously their job, but they can't reasonably be expected to check the format string for instances of %pV, which however need special handling too: On architectures like x86-64 (as opposed to e.g. ix86), using the same argument list twice doesn't produce the expected results, as an internally managed cursor gets updated during the first run. Fix the problem by always acting on a copy of the original list when handling %pV. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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
