Merge PTRACE_SETREGSET leakage fixes from Dave Martin: "This series is the collection of fixes I proposed on this topic, that have not yet appeared upstream or in the stable branches, The issue can leak kernel stack, but doesn't appear to allow userspace to attack the kernel directly. The affected architectures are c6x, h8300, metag, mips and sparc. [ Mark Salter points out that c6x has no MMU or other mechanism to prevent userspace access to kernel code or data on c6x, but it doesn't hurt to clean that case up too. ] The bugs arise from use of user_regset_copyin(). Users of user_regset_copyin() can work in one of two ways: 1) Copy directly to thread_struct or equivalent. (This seems to be the design assumption of the regset API, and is the most common approach.) 2) Copy to a local variable and then transfer to thread_struct. (A significant minority of cases.) Buggy code typically involves approach 2" * emailed patches from Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@arm.com>: sparc/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write mips/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write metag/ptrace: Reject partial NT_METAG_RPIPE writes metag/ptrace: Provide default TXSTATUS for short NT_PRSTATUS metag/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write h8300/ptrace: Fix incorrect register transfer count c6x/ptrace: Remove useless PTRACE_SETREGSET implementation |
