This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dm ioctl: Avoid double-fetch of version to the 6.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: dm-ioctl-avoid-double-fetch-of-version.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 249bed821b4db6d95a99160f7d6d236ea5fe6362 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Demi Marie Obenour <demi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 3 Jun 2023 10:52:42 -0400 Subject: dm ioctl: Avoid double-fetch of version From: Demi Marie Obenour <demi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 249bed821b4db6d95a99160f7d6d236ea5fe6362 upstream. The version is fetched once in check_version(), which then does some validation and then overwrites the version in userspace with the API version supported by the kernel. copy_params() then fetches the version from userspace *again*, and this time no validation is done. The result is that the kernel's version number is completely controllable by userspace, provided that userspace can win a race condition. Fix this flaw by not copying the version back to the kernel the second time. This is not exploitable as the version is not further used in the kernel. However, it could become a problem if future patches start relying on the version field.
