3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit feae3ca2e5e1a8f44aa6290255d3d9709985d0b2 upstream. Quoting the RHEL advisory: > It was found that the fix for CVE-2015-1805 incorrectly kept buffer > offset and buffer length in sync on a failed atomic read, potentially > resulting in a pipe buffer state corruption. A local, unprivileged user > could use this flaw to crash the system or leak kernel memory to user > space. (CVE-2016-0774, Moderate) The same flawed fix was applied to stable branches from 2.6.32.y to 3.14.y inclusive, and I was able to reproduce the issue on 3.2.y. We need to give pipe_iov_copy_to_user() a separate offset variable and only update the buffer offset if it succeeds.
