Dan Rosenberg pointed out that there were some signed comparison bugs in the phonet protocol. http://marc.info/?l=full-disclosure&m=129424528425330&w=2 The problem is that we check for array overflows but "protocol" is signed and we don't check for array underflows. If you have already have CAP_SYS_ADMIN then you could use the bugs to get root, or someone could cause an oops by mistake. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <error27@xxxxxxxxx> --- v2: in v1 I changed pn_socket_create() but that change caused a compiler warning. That part of the patch wasn't needed so I've just dropped. diff --git a/include/net/phonet/phonet.h b/include/net/phonet/phonet.h index d5df797..5395e09 100644 --- a/include/net/phonet/phonet.h +++ b/include/net/phonet/phonet.h @@ -107,8 +107,8 @@ struct phonet_protocol { int sock_type; }; -int phonet_proto_register(int protocol, struct phonet_protocol *pp); -void phonet_proto_unregister(int protocol, struct phonet_protocol *pp); +int phonet_proto_register(unsigned int protocol, struct phonet_protocol *pp); +void phonet_proto_unregister(unsigned int protocol, struct phonet_protocol *pp); int phonet_sysctl_init(void); void phonet_sysctl_exit(void); diff --git a/net/phonet/af_phonet.c b/net/phonet/af_phonet.c index fd95beb..1072b2c 100644 --- a/net/phonet/af_phonet.c +++ b/net/phonet/af_phonet.c @@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ /* Transport protocol registration */ static struct phonet_protocol *proto_tab[PHONET_NPROTO] __read_mostly; -static struct phonet_protocol *phonet_proto_get(int protocol) +static struct phonet_protocol *phonet_proto_get(unsigned int protocol) { struct phonet_protocol *pp; @@ -458,7 +458,7 @@ static struct packet_type phonet_packet_type __read_mostly = { static DEFINE_MUTEX(proto_tab_lock); -int __init_or_module phonet_proto_register(int protocol, +int __init_or_module phonet_proto_register(unsigned int protocol, struct phonet_protocol *pp) { int err = 0; @@ -481,7 +481,7 @@ int __init_or_module phonet_proto_register(int protocol, } EXPORT_SYMBOL(phonet_proto_register); -void phonet_proto_unregister(int protocol, struct phonet_protocol *pp) +void phonet_proto_unregister(unsigned int protocol, struct phonet_protocol *pp) { mutex_lock(&proto_tab_lock); BUG_ON(proto_tab[protocol] != pp); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
