+X-Git-Url: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Ftorvalds%2Flinux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=be6aab0e9fa6d3c6d75aa1e38ac972d8b4ee82b8;hp=2723f9603a8f8bb2cd8c7b581f7c94b8d75e3837
+
+[PATCH] fix memory corruption from misinterpreted bad_inode_ops return values
+
+CVE-2006-5753 is for a case where an inode can be marked bad, switching
+the ops to bad_inode_ops, which are all connected as:
+
+static int return_EIO(void)
+{
+        return -EIO;
+}
+
+#define EIO_ERROR ((void *) (return_EIO))
+
+static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops =
+{
+        .create         = bad_inode_create
+...etc...
+
+The problem here is that the void cast causes return types to not be
+promoted, and for ops such as listxattr which expect more than 32 bits of
+return value, the 32-bit -EIO is interpreted as a large positive 64-bit
+number, i.e. 0x00000000fffffffa instead of 0xfffffffa.
+
+This goes particularly badly when the return value is taken as a number of
+bytes to copy into, say, a user's buffer for example...
+
+I originally had coded up the fix by creating a return_EIO_<TYPE> macro
+for each return type, like this:
+
+static int return_EIO_int(void)
+{
+	return -EIO;
+}
+#define EIO_ERROR_INT ((void *) (return_EIO_int))
+
+static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops =
+{
+	.create		= EIO_ERROR_INT,
+...etc...
+
+but Al felt that it was probably better to create an EIO-returner for each
+actual op signature.  Since so few ops share a signature, I just went ahead
+& created an EIO function for each individual file & inode op that returns
+a value.
