linux-stable.git/drivers/staging/bcm/InterfaceIdleMode.c, branch v3.4 Linux kernel stable tree Staging: bcm: Fix information leak in ioctl: IOCTL_BCM_REGISTER_READ_PRIVATE, IOCTL_BCM_EEPROM_REGISTER_READ 2011-11-27T01:11:58+00:00 Kevin McKinney klmckinney1@gmail.com 2011-11-06T14:40:11+00:00 41c7b7c0fa2f68afb1154e88597ff6b9b97334cf This patch fixes an information leak in ioctl IOCTL_BCM_REGISTER_READ_PRIVATE and IOCTL_BCM_EEPROM_REGISTER_READ when determining the number of bytes to copy to user space. Function, usb_control_msg, returns the correct number of bytes from the hardware. Instead of using this value, we were using a value derived from user space. In this case, this value could be more than the hardware allocated. Therefore, this patch copies the proper number of bytes from the hardware, and uses this value as the maximum number of bytes for user space.

Most of the changes are in the ioctl handling code, which gets __user annotations, finding one unchecked user access. The rest is mostly about marking functions static when they are only used in one file. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
