Basically, your fix makes it parallel to compat rt_sigpending(2); I agree that the bug is real and gets fixed by that, but... rt_sigpending() itself looks a bit fishy. There we have compat_sigset_t set32; sigset_to_compat(&set32, &set); /* we can get here only if sigsetsize <= sizeof(set) */ if (copy_to_user(uset, &set32, sigsetsize)) err = -EFAULT; in big-endian case; now, there are 4 callers of sigset_to_compat() in the entire kernel. One in sparc compat rt_sigaction(2), the rest in kernel/signal.c itself. All are followed by copy_to_user(), and all but the sparc one are under that kind of "if it's big-endian..." ifdefs. Looks like it might make sense to do this: put_compat_sigset(compat_sigset_t __user *compat, const sigset_t *set, int size) { #ifdef compat_sigset_t v; switch (_NSIG_WORDS) { case 4: v.sig[7] = (set->sig[3] >> 32); v.sig[6] = set->sig[3]; case 3: v.sig[5] = (set->sig[2] >> 32); v.sig[4] = set->sig[2]; case 2: v.sig[3] = (set->sig[1] >> 32); v.sig[2] = set->sig[1]; case 1: v.sig[1] = (set->sig[0] >> 32); v.sig[0] = set->sig[0]; } return copy_to_user(compat, &v, size) ? -EFAULT : 0; #else return copy_to_user(compat, set, size) ? -EFAULT : 0; #endif } int put_compat_old_sigset(compat_old_sigset_t __user *compat, const sigset_t *set) { /* we want bits 0--31 of the bitmap */ return put_user(compat, set->sig[0]); } in kernel/signal.c and turn e.g. compat rt_sigpending() into COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE2(rt_sigpending, compat_sigset_t __user *, uset, compat_size_t, sigsetsize) { sigset_t set; int err = do_sigpending(&set, sigsetsize); if (!err) err = put_compat_sigset(uset, &set, sigsetsize); return err; } etc., including COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE2(sigpending, compat_old_sigset_t __user *, uset) { sigset_t set; int err = do_sigpending(&set, sizeof(set)); if (!err) err = put_compat_old_sigset(uset, &set); return err; } Incidentally, this if (sigsetsize > sizeof(sigset_t)) return -EINVAL; should probably be lifted out of do_sigpending() into rt_sigpending() and its compat analog - sigsetsize argument is not used anywhere else in do_sigpending(), and rt_sigpending() (and *especially* its compat counterpart) would be a lot more obviously correct with that check done where it's seen. Anyway, all of that can be done later; for now let's go with your patch. ACKed-by: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I would pick it through my tree, but the local network is half-disasembled for move (containers arrive tomorrow, flight to Boston on 9th, stuff should arrive there by the weekend, so I hope to be back to normal by the 14th or so, assuming I'll have any sanity left by that time). Could somebody else pick that one?
