[PATCH 0/2] Fixes on top of CVE-2014-8159 kernel: infiniband: uverbs: unprotected physical memory access

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

 



Hi,

Please find one patch to prevent a possible issue partially
addressed by commit 8494057ab5e4 ("IB/uverbs: Prevent integer
overflow in ib_umem_get address arithmetic") (see discussions
in [1]) and another one to add back the possibility of registering
memory mapped at 0 (which is probably not something to be allowed,
but it's not up to ib_umem_get() to prevent it).

 memory access"

  IB/core: disallow registering 0-sized memory region
  IB/core: don't disallow registering region starting at 0x0
