4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Wenwen Wang <wang6495@xxxxxxx>
commit 800a7340ab7dd667edf95e74d8e4f23a17e87076 upstream.
In copy_params(), the struct 'dm_ioctl' is first copied from the user
space buffer 'user' to 'param_kernel' and the field 'data_size' is
checked against 'minimum_data_size' (size of 'struct dm_ioctl' payload
up to its 'data' member). If the check fails, an error code EINVAL will be
returned. Otherwise, param_kernel->data_size is used to do a second copy,
which copies from the same user-space buffer to 'dmi'. After the second
copy, only 'dmi->data_size' is checked against 'param_kernel->data_size'.
Given that the buffer 'user' resides in the user space, a malicious
user-space process can race to change the content in the buffer between
the two copies. This way, the attacker can inject inconsistent data
into 'dmi' (versus previously validated 'param_kernel').
Fix redundant copying of 'minimum_data_size' from user-space buffer by
using the first copy stored in 'param_kernel'. Also remove the
'data_size' check after the second copy because it is now unnecessary.
