From: Douglas Gilbert <dgilbert@xxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 5ecee0a3ee8d74b6950cb41e8989b0c2174568d4 ] One of the strange things that the original sg driver did was let the user provide both a data-out buffer (it followed the sg_header+cdb) _and_ specify a reply length greater than zero. What happened was that the user data-out buffer was copied into some kernel buffers and then the mid level was told a read type operation would take place with the data from the device overwriting the same kernel buffers. The user would then read those kernel buffers back into the user space. >From what I can tell, the above action was broken by commit fad7f01e61bf ("sg: set dxferp to NULL for READ with the older SG interface") in 2008 and syzkaller found that out recently. Make sure that a user space pointer is passed through when data follows the sg_header structure and command. Fix the abnormal case when a non-zero reply_len is also given.
