[PATCH 4.4 078/158] parisc: Fix kernel panic due invalid values in IAOQ0 or IAOQ1

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx>

commit 10835c854685393a921b68f529bf740fa7c9984d upstream.

On parisc the privilege level of a process is stored in the lowest two bits of
the instruction pointers (IAOQ0 and IAOQ1). On Linux we use privilege level 0
for the kernel and privilege level 3 for user-space. So userspace should not be
allowed to modify IAOQ0 or IAOQ1 of a ptraced process to change it's privilege
level to e.g. 0 to try to gain kernel privileges.

This patch prevents such modifications by always setting the two lowest bits to
one (which relates to privilege level 3 for user-space) if IAOQ0 or IAOQ1 are
modified via ptrace calls in the native and compat ptrace paths.
