This patch series fixes a number of bugs and culminates in the removal of the set_fs(KERNEL_DS) call in v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c. See http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2017/CVE-2017-13166.html for why this set_fs call is a bad idea. In order to test this I used vivid and a 32-bit v4l2-compliance. The advantage of vivid is that it implements almost all ioctls, and those are all tested by v4l2-compliance. This ensures good test coverage. Since I had to track down all failures that v4l2-compliance reported in order to verify whether those were introduced by the final patch or if those were pre-existing bugs, this series starts off with fixes for bugs that v4l2-compliance found, mostly in v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c. It is clear that v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c doesn't receive a lot of testing. There are also three patches that just clean up v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c in order to simplify the final patch: v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: fix the indentation v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: move 'helper' functions to __get/put_v4l2_format32 v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: avoid sizeof(type) No functional changes are introduced in these three patches. Note the "fix ctrl_is_pointer" patch: we've discussed this in the past, but now I really had to fix this. It would be really nice if the next time someone finds a security risk in V4L2 core code they would contact the V4L2 maintainers. We only heard about this last week, while all the information about this CVE has been out there for several months or so. Backporting this will be a bit of a nightmare since v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c changes frequently, so assuming we'll only backport this to lts kernels then for each lts the patch series needs to be adapted. But let's get this upstream first before looking at that. This pull request has Cc's to stable to get this in for 4.15 (it should apply cleanly for 4.15). Regards, Hans Changes since v2: - Add remaining Acks from Sakari - Fix two whitespace issues in v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c - Added 'Fixes' tag. Changes since v1: - Incorporated all Sakari's comments - Added the 'v4l2-ioctl.c: don't copy back the result for -ENOTTY' patch (suggested by Sakari). - Added back the "Reported-by" tag for the last patch. - Added "Co-Developed-by" tag for the last patch. - Added "Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # for v4.15 and up" tags to this series.
