[PATCH 4.9 74/86] fuse: Fix parameter for FS_IOC_{GET,SET}FLAGS

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

 



From: Chirantan Ekbote <chirantan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 31070f6ccec09f3bd4f1e28cd1e592fa4f3ba0b6 upstream.

The ioctl encoding for this parameter is a long but the documentation says
it should be an int and the kernel drivers expect it to be an int.  If the
fuse driver treats this as a long it might end up scribbling over the stack
of a userspace process that only allocated enough space for an int.

This was previously discussed in [1] and a patch for fuse was proposed in
[2].  From what I can tell the patch in [2] was nacked in favor of adding
new, "fixed" ioctls and using those from userspace.  However there is still
no "fixed" version of these ioctls and the fact is that it's sometimes
infeasible to change all userspace to use the new one.

Handling the ioctls specially in the fuse driver seems like the most
pragmatic way for fuse servers to support them without causing crashes in
userspace applications that call them.
