This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tty: Fix uninit-value access in ppp_sync_receive() to the 5.15-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: tty-fix-uninit-value-access-in-ppp_sync_receive.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 44ececf32c0b425d909c81ff3b7c69ac2c9621ed Author: Shigeru Yoshida <syoshida@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Nov 9 00:44:20 2023 +0900 tty: Fix uninit-value access in ppp_sync_receive() [ Upstream commit 719639853d88071dfdfd8d9971eca9c283ff314c ] KMSAN reported the following uninit-value access issue: ===================================================== BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in ppp_sync_input drivers/net/ppp/ppp_synctty.c:690 [inline] BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in ppp_sync_receive+0xdc9/0xe70 drivers/net/ppp/ppp_synctty.c:334 ppp_sync_input drivers/net/ppp/ppp_synctty.c:690 [inline] ppp_sync_receive+0xdc9/0xe70 drivers/net/ppp/ppp_synctty.c:334 tiocsti+0x328/0x450 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2295 tty_ioctl+0x808/0x1920 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2694 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline] __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:871 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl+0x211/0x400 fs/ioctl.c:857 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x97/0xe0 fs/ioctl.c:857 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:51 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x44/0x110 arch/x86/entry/common.c:82 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0x6b Uninit was created at: __alloc_pages+0x75d/0xe80 mm/page_alloc.c:4591 __alloc_pages_node include/linux/gfp.h:238 [inline] alloc_pages_node include/linux/gfp.h:261 [inline] __page_frag_cache_refill+0x9a/0x2c0 mm/page_alloc.c:4691 page_frag_alloc_align+0x91/0x5d0 mm/page_alloc.c:4722 page_frag_alloc include/linux/gfp.h:322 [inline] __netdev_alloc_skb+0x215/0x6d0 net/core/skbuff.c:728 netdev_alloc_skb include/linux/skbuff.h:3225 [inline] dev_alloc_skb include/linux/skbuff.h:3238 [inline] ppp_sync_input drivers/net/ppp/ppp_synctty.c:669 [inline] ppp_sync_receive+0x237/0xe70 drivers/net/ppp/ppp_synctty.c:334 tiocsti+0x328/0x450 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2295 tty_ioctl+0x808/0x1920 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2694 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline] __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:871 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl+0x211/0x400 fs/ioctl.c:857 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x97/0xe0 fs/ioctl.c:857 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:51 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x44/0x110 arch/x86/entry/common.c:82 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0x6b CPU: 0 PID: 12950 Comm: syz-executor.1 Not tainted 6.6.0-14500-g1c41041124bd #10 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.2-1.fc38 04/01/2014 ===================================================== ppp_sync_input() checks the first 2 bytes of the data are PPP_ALLSTATIONS and PPP_UI. However, if the data length is 1 and the first byte is PPP_ALLSTATIONS, an access to an uninitialized value occurs when checking PPP_UI. This patch resolves this issue by checking the data length.
