4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Miles Chen <miles.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 33a1a7be198657c8ca26ad406c4d2a89b7162bcc ] The issue is found by a fuzzing test. If tty_find_polling_driver() recevies an incorrect input such as ',,' or '0b', the len becomes 0 and strncmp() always return 0. In this case, a null p->ops->poll_init() is called and it causes a kernel panic. Fix this by checking name length against zero in tty_find_polling_driver(). $echo ,, > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc [ 20.804451] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 104 at drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c:457 uart_get_baud_rate+0xe8/0x190 [ 20.804917] Modules linked in: [ 20.805317] CPU: 1 PID: 104 Comm: sh Not tainted 4.19.0-rc7ajb #8 [ 20.805469] Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) [ 20.805732] pstate: 20000005 (nzCv daif -PAN -UAO) [ 20.805895] pc : uart_get_baud_rate+0xe8/0x190 [ 20.806042] lr : uart_get_baud_rate+0xc0/0x190 [ 20.806476] sp : ffffffc06acff940 [ 20.806676] x29: ffffffc06acff940 x28: 0000000000002580 [ 20.806977] x27: 0000000000009600 x26: 0000000000009600 [ 20.807231] x25: ffffffc06acffad0 x24: 00000000ffffeff0 [ 20.807576] x23: 0000000000000001 x22: 0000000000000000 [ 20.807807] x21: 0000000000000001 x20: 0000000000000000 [ 20.808049] x19: ffffffc06acffac8 x18: 0000000000000000 [ 20.808277] x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000000 [ 20.808520] x15: ffffffffffffffff x14: ffffffff00000000 [ 20.808757] x13: ffffffffffffffff x12: 0000000000000001 [ 20.809011] x11: 0101010101010101 x10: ffffff880d59ff5f [ 20.809292] x9 : ffffff880d59ff5e x8 : ffffffc06acffaf3 [ 20.809549] x7 : 0000000000000000 x6 : ffffff880d59ff5f [ 20.809803] x5 : 0000000080008001 x4 : 0000000000000003 [ 20.810056] x3 : ffffff900853e6b4 x2 : dfffff9000000000 [ 20.810693] x1 : ffffffc06acffad0 x0 : 0000000000000cb0 [ 20.811005] Call trace: [ 20.811214] uart_get_baud_rate+0xe8/0x190 [ 20.811479] serial8250_do_set_termios+0xe0/0x6f4 [ 20.811719] serial8250_set_termios+0x48/0x54 [ 20.811928] uart_set_options+0x138/0x1bc [ 20.812129] uart_poll_init+0x114/0x16c [ 20.812330] tty_find_polling_driver+0x158/0x200 [ 20.812545] configure_kgdboc+0xbc/0x1bc [ 20.812745] param_set_kgdboc_var+0xb8/0x150 [ 20.812960] param_attr_store+0xbc/0x150 [ 20.813160] module_attr_store+0x40/0x58 [ 20.813364] sysfs_kf_write+0x8c/0xa8 [ 20.813563] kernfs_fop_write+0x154/0x290 [ 20.813764] vfs_write+0xf0/0x278 [ 20.813951] __arm64_sys_write+0x84/0xf4 [ 20.814400] el0_svc_common+0xf4/0x1dc [ 20.814616] el0_svc_handler+0x98/0xbc [ 20.814804] el0_svc+0x8/0xc [ 20.822005] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 [ 20.826913] Mem abort info: [ 20.827103] ESR = 0x84000006 [ 20.827352] Exception class = IABT (current EL), IL = 16 bits [ 20.827655] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [ 20.827855] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 [ 20.828135] user pgtable: 4k pages, 39-bit VAs, pgdp = (____ptrval____) [ 20.828484] [0000000000000000] pgd=00000000aadee003, pud=00000000aadee003, pmd=0000000000000000 [ 20.829195] Internal error: Oops: 84000006 [#1] SMP [ 20.829564] Modules linked in: [ 20.829890] CPU: 1 PID: 104 Comm: sh Tainted: G W 4.19.0-rc7ajb #8 [ 20.830545] Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) [ 20.830829] pstate: 60000085 (nZCv daIf -PAN -UAO) [ 20.831174] pc : (null) [ 20.831457] lr : serial8250_do_set_termios+0x358/0x6f4 [ 20.831727] sp : ffffffc06acff9b0 [ 20.831936] x29: ffffffc06acff9b0 x28: ffffff9008d7c000 [ 20.832267] x27: ffffff900969e16f x26: 0000000000000000 [ 20.832589] x25: ffffff900969dfb0 x24: 0000000000000000 [ 20.832906] x23: ffffffc06acffad0 x22: ffffff900969e160 [ 20.833232] x21: 0000000000000000 x20: ffffffc06acffac8 [ 20.833559] x19: ffffff900969df90 x18: 0000000000000000 [ 20.833878] x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000000 [ 20.834491] x15: ffffffffffffffff x14: ffffffff00000000 [ 20.834821] x13: ffffffffffffffff x12: 0000000000000001 [ 20.835143] x11: 0101010101010101 x10: ffffff880d59ff5f [ 20.835467] x9 : ffffff880d59ff5e x8 : ffffffc06acffaf3 [ 20.835790] x7 : 0000000000000000 x6 : ffffff880d59ff5f [ 20.836111] x5 : c06419717c314100 x4 : 0000000000000007 [ 20.836419] x3 : 0000000000000000 x2 : 0000000000000000 [ 20.836732] x1 : 0000000000000001 x0 : ffffff900969df90 [ 20.837100] Process sh (pid: 104, stack limit = 0x(____ptrval____)) [ 20.837396] Call trace: [ 20.837566] (null) [ 20.837816] serial8250_set_termios+0x48/0x54 [ 20.838089] uart_set_options+0x138/0x1bc [ 20.838570] uart_poll_init+0x114/0x16c [ 20.838834] tty_find_polling_driver+0x158/0x200 [ 20.839119] configure_kgdboc+0xbc/0x1bc [ 20.839380] param_set_kgdboc_var+0xb8/0x150 [ 20.839658] param_attr_store+0xbc/0x150 [ 20.839920] module_attr_store+0x40/0x58 [ 20.840183] sysfs_kf_write+0x8c/0xa8 [ 20.840183] sysfs_kf_write+0x8c/0xa8 [ 20.840440] kernfs_fop_write+0x154/0x290 [ 20.840702] vfs_write+0xf0/0x278 [ 20.840942] __arm64_sys_write+0x84/0xf4 [ 20.841209] el0_svc_common+0xf4/0x1dc [ 20.841471] el0_svc_handler+0x98/0xbc [ 20.841713] el0_svc+0x8/0xc [ 20.842057] Code: bad PC value [ 20.842764] ---[ end trace a8835d7de79aaadf ]--- [ 20.843134] Kernel panic -
