proc: do proper range check on readdir offset

2011-04-22T15:44:26+00:00

commit d8bdc59f215e62098bc5b4256fd9928bf27053a1 upstream.

Rather than pass in some random truncated offset to the pid-related
functions, check that the offset is in range up-front.

This is just cleanup, the previous commit fixed the real problem.

UBIFS: fix oops when R/O file-system is fsync'ed

2011-04-22T15:44:17+00:00

commit 78530bf7f2559b317c04991b52217c1608d5a58d upstream.

This patch fixes severe UBIFS bug: UBIFS oopses when we 'fsync()' an
file on R/O-mounter file-system. We (the UBIFS authors) incorrectly
thought that VFS would not propagate 'fsync()' down to the file-system
if it is read-only, but this is not the case.

It is easy to exploit this bug using the following simple perl script:

use strict;
use File::Sync qw(fsync sync);

die "File path is not specified" if not defined $ARGV[0];
my $path = $ARGV[0];

open FILE, "<", "$path" or die "Cannot open $path: $!";
fsync(\*FILE) or die "cannot fsync $path: $!";
close FILE or die "Cannot close $path: $!";

Thanks to Reuben Dowle  for reporting about this
issue.

ramfs: fix memleak on no-mmu arch

2011-04-22T15:44:15+00:00

commit b836aec53e2bce71de1d5415313380688c851477 upstream.

On no-mmu arch, there is a memleak during shmem test.  The cause of this
memleak is ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() added page refcount to 2
which makes iput() can't free that pages.

The simple test file is like this:

  int main(void)
  {
	int i;
	key_t k = ftok("/etc", 42);

	for ( i=0; i<100; ++i) {
		int id = shmget(k, 10000, 0644|IPC_CREAT);
		if (id == -1) {
			printf("shmget error\n");
		}
		if(shmctl(id, IPC_RMID, NULL ) == -1) {
			printf("shm  rm error\n");
			return -1;
		}
	}
	printf("run ok...\n");
	return 0;
  }

And the result:

  root:/> free
               total         used         free       shared      buffers
  Mem:         60320        17912        42408            0            0

  Mem:         60320        20296        40024            0            0
  -/+ buffers:              20296        40024
  ...

After this patch the test result is:(no memleak anymore)

cifs: always do is_path_accessible check in cifs_mount

2011-04-22T15:44:12+00:00

commit 70945643722ffeac779d2529a348f99567fa5c33 upstream.

Currently, we skip doing the is_path_accessible check in cifs_mount if
there is no prefixpath. I have a report of at least one server however
that allows a TREE_CONNECT to a share that has a DFS referral at its
root. The reporter in this case was using a UNC that had no prefixpath,
so the is_path_accessible check was not triggered and the box later hit
a BUG() because we were chasing a DFS referral on the root dentry for
the mount.

This patch fixes this by removing the check for a zero-length
prefixpath.  That should make the is_path_accessible check be done in
this situation and should allow the client to chase the DFS referral at
mount time instead.

xfs: zero proper structure size for geometry calls

2011-04-14T23:53:56+00:00

commit af24ee9ea8d532e16883251a6684dfa1be8eec29 upstream.

Commit 493f3358cb289ccf716c5a14fa5bb52ab75943e5 added this call to
xfs_fs_geometry() in order to avoid passing kernel stack data back
to user space:

+       memset(geo, 0, sizeof(*geo));

Unfortunately, one of the callers of that function passes the
address of a smaller data type, cast to fit the type that
xfs_fs_geometry() requires.  As a result, this can happen:

Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted
in: f87aca93

Pid: 262, comm: xfs_fsr Not tainted 2.6.38-rc6-493f3358cb2+ #1
Call Trace:

[] ? panic+0x50/0x150
[] ? __stack_chk_fail+0x10/0x18
[] ? xfs_ioc_fsgeometry_v1+0x56/0x5d [xfs]

Fix this by fixing that one caller to pass the right type and then
copy out the subset it is interested in.

Eric Sandeen.

exec: copy-and-paste the fixes into compat_do_execve() paths

2011-04-14T23:53:55+00:00

commit 114279be2120a916e8a04feeb2ac976a10016f2f upstream.

Note: this patch targets 2.6.37 and tries to be as simple as possible.
That is why it adds more copy-and-paste horror into fs/compat.c and
uglifies fs/exec.c, this will be cleanuped later.

compat_copy_strings() plays with bprm->vma/mm directly and thus has
two problems: it lacks the RLIMIT_STACK check and argv/envp memory
is not visible to oom killer.

Export acct_arg_size() and get_arg_page(), change compat_copy_strings()
to use get_arg_page(), change compat_do_execve() to do acct_arg_size(0)
as do_execve() does.

Add the fatal_signal_pending/cond_resched checks into compat_count() and
compat_copy_strings(), this matches the code in fs/exec.c and certainly
makes sense.

exec: make argv/envp memory visible to oom-killer

2011-04-14T23:53:55+00:00

commit 3c77f845722158206a7209c45ccddc264d19319c upstream.

Brad Spengler published a local memory-allocation DoS that
evades the OOM-killer (though not the virtual memory RLIMIT):
http://www.grsecurity.net/~spender/64bit_dos.c

execve()->copy_strings() can allocate a lot of memory, but
this is not visible to oom-killer, nobody can see the nascent
bprm->mm and take it into account.

With this patch get_arg_page() increments current's MM_ANONPAGES
counter every time we allocate the new page for argv/envp. When
do_execve() succeds or fails, we change this counter back.

Technically this is not 100% correct, we can't know if the new
page is swapped out and turn MM_ANONPAGES into MM_SWAPENTS, but
I don't think this really matters and everything becomes correct
once exec changes ->mm or fails.

nfsd: fix auth_domain reference leak on nlm operations

2011-04-14T23:53:47+00:00

commit 954032d2527f2fce7355ba70709b5e143d6b686f upstream.

This was noticed by users who performed more than 2^32 lock operations
and hence made this counter overflow (eventually leading to
use-after-free's).  Setting rq_client to NULL here means that it won't
later get auth_domain_put() when it should be.

Appears to have been introduced in 2.5.42 by "[PATCH] kNFSd: Move auth
domain lookup into svcauth" which moved most of the rq_client handling
to common svcauth code, but left behind this one line.

ext4: fix credits computing for indirect mapped files

commit 5b41395fcc0265fc9f193aef9df39ce49d64677c upstream.

When writing a contiguous set of blocks, two indirect blocks could be
needed depending on how the blocks are aligned, so we need to increase
the number of credits needed by one.

[ Also fixed a another bug which could further underestimate the
  number of journal credits needed by 1; the code was using integer
  division instead of DIV_ROUND_UP() -- tytso]
