3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgunthorpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit e6bd18f57aad1a2d1ef40e646d03ed0f2515c9e3 upstream.
The drivers/infiniband stack uses write() as a replacement for
bi-directional ioctl(). This is not safe. There are ways to
trigger write calls that result in the return structure that
is normally written to user space being shunted off to user
specified kernel memory instead.
For the immediate repair, detect and deny suspicious accesses to
the write API.
For long term, update the user space libraries and the kernel API
to something that doesn't present the same security vulnerabilities
(likely a structured ioctl() interface).
The impacted uAPI interfaces are generally only available if
hardware from drivers/infiniband is installed in the system.
