sr_ioctl.c uses this pattern result = sr_do_ioctl(cd, &cgc); to-user = buffer[]; kfree(buffer); return result; Use a buffer without checking leaks information. Check result and jump over the use of buffer if there is an error. result = sr_do_ioctl(cd, &cgc); if (result) goto err; to-user = buffer[]; err: kfree(buffer); return result; Additionally initialize the buffer to zero. This problem can be seen in the 2.4.0 kernel However this scm only goes back as far as 2.6.12 Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Signed-off-by: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v2 : split from combined pcd,scsi patch drivers/scsi/sr_ioctl.c | 15 ++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/sr_ioctl.c b/drivers/scsi/sr_ioctl.c index ddd00efc4882..fbdb5124d7f7 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/sr_ioctl.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/sr_ioctl.c @@ -41,7 +41,7 @@ static int sr_read_tochdr(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int result; unsigned char *buffer; - buffer = kmalloc(32, GFP_KERNEL); + buffer = kzalloc(32, GFP_KERNEL); if (!buffer) return -ENOMEM; @@ -55,10 +55,13 @@ static int sr_read_tochdr(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, cgc.data_direction = DMA_FROM_DEVICE; result = sr_do_ioctl(cd, &cgc); + if (result) + goto err; tochdr->cdth_trk0 = buffer[2]; tochdr->cdth_trk1 = buffer[3]; +err: kfree(buffer); return result; } @@ -71,7 +74,7 @@ static int sr_read_tocentry(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, int result; unsigned char *buffer; - buffer = kmalloc(32, GFP_KERNEL); + buffer = kzalloc(32, GFP_KERNEL); if (!buffer) return -ENOMEM; @@ -86,6 +89,8 @@ static int sr_read_tocentry(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, cgc.data_direction = DMA_FROM_DEVICE; result = sr_do_ioctl(cd, &cgc); + if (result) + goto err; tocentry->cdte_ctrl = buffer[5] & 0xf; tocentry->cdte_adr = buffer[5] >> 4; @@ -98,6 +103,7 @@ static int sr_read_tocentry(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, tocentry->cdte_addr.lba = (((((buffer[8] << 8) + buffer[9]) << 8) + buffer[10]) << 8) + buffer[11]; +err: kfree(buffer); return result; } @@ -384,7 +390,7 @@ int sr_get_mcn(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, struct cdrom_mcn *mcn) { Scsi_CD *cd = cdi->handle; struct packet_command cgc; - char *buffer = kmalloc(32, GFP_KERNEL); + char *buffer = kzalloc(32, GFP_KERNEL); int result; if (!buffer) @@ -400,10 +406,13 @@ int sr_get_mcn(struct cdrom_device_info *cdi, struct cdrom_mcn *mcn) cgc.data_direction = DMA_FROM_DEVICE; cgc.timeout = IOCTL_TIMEOUT; result = sr_do_ioctl(cd, &cgc); + if (result) + goto err; memcpy(mcn->medium_catalog_number, buffer + 9, 13); mcn->medium_catalog_number[13] = 0; +err: kfree(buffer); return result; } -- 2.27.0
