DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETFB is used to retrieve information about a given framebuffer ID. It is a read-only helper and was thus declassified for unprivileged access in: commit a14b1b42477c5ef089fcda88cbaae50d979eb8f9 Author: Mandeep Singh Baines <mandeep.baines@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jan 20 12:11:16 2012 -0800 drm: remove master fd restriction on mode setting getters However, alongside width, height and stride information, DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETFB also passes back a handle to the underlying buffer of the framebuffer. This handle allows users to mmap() it and read or write into it. Obviously, this should be restricted to DRM-Master. With the current setup, *any* process with access to /dev/dri/card0 (which means any process with access to hardware-accelerated rendering) can access the current screen framebuffer and modify it ad libitum. For backwards-compatibility reasons we want to keep the DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETFB call unprivileged. Besides, it provides quite useful information regarding screen setup. So we simply test whether the caller is the current DRM-Master and if not, we return 0 as handle, which is always invalid. A following DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CLOSE on this handle will fail with EINVAL, but we accept this. Users shouldn't test for errors during GEM_CLOSE, anyway. And it is still better as a failing MODE_GETFB call. v2: add capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) check for compatibility with i-g-t Signed-off-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_crtc.c | 18 +++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_crtc.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_crtc.c @@ -2501,10 +2501,22 @@ int drm_mode_getfb(struct drm_device *de r->depth = fb->depth; r->bpp = fb->bits_per_pixel; r->pitch = fb->pitches[0]; - if (fb->funcs->create_handle) - ret = fb->funcs->create_handle(fb, file_priv, &r->handle); - else + if (fb->funcs->create_handle) { + if (file_priv->is_master || capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)) { + ret = fb->funcs->create_handle(fb, file_priv, + &r->handle); + } else { + /* GET_FB() is an unprivileged ioctl so we must not + * return a buffer-handle to non-master processes!
