Subject: [PATCH v3] sg: mitigate read/write abuse
As Al Viro noted in commit 128394eff343 ("sg_write()/bsg_write() is not fit
to be called under KERNEL_DS"), sg improperly accesses userspace memory
outside the provided buffer, permitting kernel memory corruption via
splice().
But it doesn't just do it on ->write(), also on ->read().
As a band-aid, make sure that the ->read() and ->write() handlers can not
be called in weird contexts (kernel context or credentials different from
file opener), like for ib_safe_file_access().
If someone needs to use these interfaces from different security contexts,
a new interface should be written that goes through the ->ioctl() handler.
I've mostly copypasted ib_safe_file_access() over as sg_safe_file_access()
because I couldn't find a good common header - please tell me if you know a
better way.
changed in v2:
- remove the bsg parts per Christoph Hellwig's request
changed in v3:
- move error messages into helper function
- use two different error messages and return values (Douglas Gilbert)
- add comment on stranded responses (Douglas Gilbert)
- use current_real_cred() instead of current_cred() (so that
override_creds() can't bypass this check)
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
