[PATCH 6.11 480/817] x86: fix off-by-one in access_ok()

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

 



6.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Laight <David.Laight@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 573f45a9f9a47fed4c7957609689b772121b33d7 ]

When the size isn't a small constant, __access_ok() will call
valid_user_address() with the address after the last byte of the user
buffer.

It is valid for a buffer to end with the last valid user address so
valid_user_address() must allow accesses to the base of the guard page.

[ This introduces an off-by-one in the other direction for the plain
  non-sized accesses, but since we have that guard region that is a
  whole page, those checks "allowing" accesses to that guard region
  don't really matter. The access will fault anyway, whether to the
  guard page or if the address has been masked to all ones - Linus ]

Fixes: 86e6b1547b3d0 ("x86: fix user address masking non-canonical speculation issue")
