Subject: [PATCH v2] HID: uhid: forbid UHID_CREATE under KERNEL_DS or elevated privileges
Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2018 13:55:09 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181114215509.163600-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAG48ez3bPkh+DMPwiebM+r4ozX2CiVY=9=WMBP_xm1qVaSN4sQ@mail.gmail.com>
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
When a UHID_CREATE command is written to the uhid char device, a
copy_from_user() is done from a user pointer embedded in the command.
When the address limit is KERNEL_DS, e.g. as is the case during
sys_sendfile(), this can read from kernel memory. Alternatively,
information can be leaked from a setuid binary that is tricked to write
to the file descriptor. Therefore, forbid UHID_CREATE in these cases.
No other commands in uhid_char_write() are affected by this bug and
UHID_CREATE is marked as "obsolete", so apply the restriction to
UHID_CREATE only rather than to uhid_char_write() entirely.
Thanks to Dmitry Vyukov for adding uhid definitions to syzkaller and to
Jann Horn for commit 9da3f2b740544 ("x86/fault: BUG() when uaccess
helpers fault on kernel addresses"), allowing this bug to be found.
