If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From da05d52d2f0f6bd61094a0cd045fed94bf7d673a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Prabhakar Lad <prabhakar.csengg@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2017 08:02:09 -0400 Subject: media: platform: davinci: return -EINVAL for VPFE_CMD_S_CCDC_RAW_PARAMS ioctl From: Prabhakar Lad <prabhakar.csengg@xxxxxxxxx> commit da05d52d2f0f6bd61094a0cd045fed94bf7d673a upstream. this patch makes sure VPFE_CMD_S_CCDC_RAW_PARAMS ioctl no longer works for vpfe_capture driver with a minimal patch suitable for backporting. - This ioctl was never in public api and was only defined in kernel header. - The function set_params constantly mixes up pointers and phys_addr_t numbers. - This is part of a 'VPFE_CMD_S_CCDC_RAW_PARAMS' ioctl command that is described as an 'experimental ioctl that will change in future kernels'. - The code to allocate the table never gets called after we copy_from_user the user input over the kernel settings, and then compare them for inequality. - We then go on to use an address provided by user space as both the __user pointer for input and pass it through phys_to_virt to come up with a kernel pointer to copy the data to. This looks like a trivially exploitable root hole. Due to these reasons we make sure this ioctl now returns -EINVAL and backport this patch as far as possible.
