The PSW mask check of the PTRACE_POKEUSR_AREA command is incorrect. The PSW_MASK_USER define contains the PSW_MASK_ASC bits, the ptrace interface accepts all combinations for the address-space-control bits. To protect the kernel space the PSW mask check in ptrace needs to reject the address-space-control bit combination for home space. Fixes CVE-2014-3534 Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx> [bwh: Backported to 3.2: - The PSW user-settable bitmasks are constant, never including PSW_MASK_RI - The kernel can run in either home or primary space, so instead of checking that the ASC bits are not equal to PSW_ASC_HOME, we have to check that they don't match psw_kernel_bits - For the same reason, the required values of non-user-settable bits are variables (psw_user_bits/psw32_user_bits) and remain so] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c | 23 +++++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) --- a/arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c +++ b/arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c @@ -291,11 +291,18 @@ static int __poke_user(struct task_struc /* * psw and gprs are stored on the stack */ - if (addr == (addr_t) &dummy->regs.psw.mask && - ((data & ~PSW_MASK_USER) != psw_user_bits || - ((data & PSW_MASK_EA) && !(data & PSW_MASK_BA)))) - /* Invalid psw mask. */ - return -EINVAL; + if (addr == (addr_t) &dummy->regs.psw.mask) { + if ((data ^ psw_user_bits) & ~PSW_MASK_USER) + /* Invalid psw mask. */ + return -EINVAL; + if ((data & PSW_MASK_ASC) == + (psw_kernel_bits & PSW_MASK_ASC)) + /* Invalid address-space-control bits */ + return -EINVAL; + if ((data & PSW_MASK_EA) && !(data & PSW_MASK_BA)) + /* Invalid addressing mode bits */ + return -EINVAL; + } *(addr_t *)((addr_t) &task_pt_regs(child)->psw + addr) = data; } else if (addr < (addr_t) (&dummy->regs.orig_gpr2)) { @@ -595,9 +602,13 @@ static int __poke_user_compat(struct tas */ if (addr == (addr_t) &dummy32->regs.psw.mask) { /* Build a 64 bit psw mask from 31 bit mask. */ - if ((tmp & ~PSW32_MASK_USER) != psw32_user_bits) + if ((tmp ^ psw32_user_bits) & ~PSW32_MASK_USER) /* Invalid psw mask. */ return -EINVAL; + if ((data & PSW32_MASK_ASC) == + ((psw_kernel_bits & PSW_MASK_ASC) >> 32)) + /* Invalid address-space-control bits */ + return -EINVAL; regs->psw.mask = (regs->psw.mask & ~PSW_MASK_USER) | (regs->psw.mask & PSW_MASK_BA) | (__u64)(tmp & PSW32_MASK_USER) << 32; Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx are queue-3.4/s390-ptrace-fix-psw-mask-check.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
