2011-08-08pmcraid: reject negative request sizeDan Rosenberg
commit b5b515445f4f5a905c5dd27e6e682868ccd6c09d upstream. There's a code path in pmcraid that can be reached via device ioctl that causes all sorts of ugliness, including heap corruption or triggering the OOM killer due to consecutive allocation of large numbers of pages. First, the user can call pmcraid_chr_ioctl(), with a type PMCRAID_PASSTHROUGH_IOCTL. This calls through to pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough(). Next, a pmcraid_passthrough_ioctl_buffer is copied in, and the request_size variable is set to buffer->ioarcb.data_transfer_length, which is an arbitrary 32-bit signed value provided by the user. If a negative value is provided here, bad things can happen. For example, pmcraid_build_passthrough_ioadls() is called with this request_size, which immediately calls pmcraid_alloc_sglist() with a negative size. The resulting math on allocating a scatter list can result in an overflow in the kzalloc() call (if num_elem is 0, the sglist will be smaller than expected), or if num_elem is unexpectedly large the subsequent loop will call alloc_pages() repeatedly, a high number of pages will be allocated and the OOM killer might be invoked. It looks like preventing this value from being negative in pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough() would be sufficient.

commit 5f6279da3760ce48f478f2856aacebe0c59a39f3 upstream. There's a code path in pmcraid that can be reached via device ioctl that causes all sorts of ugliness, including heap corruption or triggering the OOM killer due to consecutive allocation of large numbers of pages. Not especially relevant from a security perspective, since users must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN to open the character device. First, the user can call pmcraid_chr_ioctl() with a type PMCRAID_PASSTHROUGH_IOCTL. A pmcraid_passthrough_ioctl_buffer is copied in, and the request_size variable is set to buffer->ioarcb.data_transfer_length, which is an arbitrary 32-bit signed value provided by the user. If a negative value is provided here, bad things can happen. For example, pmcraid_build_passthrough_ioadls() is called with this request_size, which immediately calls pmcraid_alloc_sglist() with a negative size. The resulting math on allocating a scatter list can result in an overflow in the kzalloc() call (if num_elem is 0, the sglist will be smaller than expected), or if num_elem is unexpectedly large the subsequent loop will call alloc_pages() repeatedly, a high number of pages will be allocated and the OOM killer might be invoked. Prevent this value from being negative in pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough().

2009-11-06[SCSI] pmcraid: Fix ppc64 driver build for using cpu_to_le32 on U8 data typeAnil Ravindranath
Fix a reported ppc64 driver build issue. Removed cpu_to_le32 conversion usage for flags in struct pmcraid_ioadl_desc. This was breaking the driver build in ppc64. drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c: In function 'pmcraid_request_sense': drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c:2254: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type Signed-off-by: Anil Ravindranath<anil_ravindranath@pmc-sierra.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de>
