find_next bitops on m68k (find_next_zero_bit, find_next_bit, and ext2_find_next_bit) may cause out of bounds memory access when the bitmap size in bits % 32 != 0 and offset (the bitnumber to start searching at) is very close to the bitmap size. For example, unsigned long bitmap[2] = { 0, 0}; find_next_bit(bitmap, 63, 62) 1. find_next_bit() tries to find any set bits in bitmap[1], but no bits set 2. Then find_first_bit(bimap + 2, -1) 3. Unfortunately find_fist_bit() takes unsigned int as the size argument. 4. find_first_bit will access bitmap[3~] until it find any set bits. Here is find_next_bit() in arch/m68k/include/asm/bitops_mm.h: static inline int find_next_bit(const unsigned long *vaddr, int size, int offset) { const unsigned long *p = vaddr + (offset >> 5); int bit = offset & 31UL, res; if (offset >= size) return size; if (bit) { unsigned long num = *p++ & (~0UL << bit); offset -= bit; /* Look for one in first longword */ __asm__ __volatile__ ("bfffo %1{#0,#0},%0" : "=d" (res) : "d" (num & -num)); if (res < 32) return offset + (res ^ 31); offset += 32; } /* No one yet, search remaining full bytes for a one */ res = find_first_bit(p, size - ((long)p - (long)vaddr) * 8); return offset + res; } find_next_zero_bit and ext2_find_next_bit also have same problem. Actually I found this while testing ext2_find_next_bit in user space. The easiest and reliable way to fix this is that switching to generic implementation of find bitops. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-m68k" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
