[PATCH STABLE 4.4 0/8] page refcount overflow backports

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

this series backports the CVE-2019-11487 fixes (page refcount overflow) to
4.4 stable. It differs from Ajay's series [1] in the following:

- gup.c variants of fast gup for x86 and s390 are fixed too. I've not fixed
  sparc, mips, sh. It's unlikely the known overflow scenario based on FUSE,
  which needs 140GB of RAM, is a problem for those architectures, and I don't
  feel confident enough to patch them. I've sent the same fixup for 4.9 [3]
- there are some differences in backport adaptations, hopefully not important.
  My version is taken from our 4.4 based kernel, which was just simpler for me
  than adding the missing parts to Ajay's version
- The last patch fixes another problem in the fast gup implementation on x86,
  that I've previously posted and got merged to 4.9 stable [2].
