Subject: [PATCH] mmaper_kern.c fixes [buffer overruns]
Date: Sat, 27 Aug 2005 06:48:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050827054815.GC9322@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> (raw)
* copy_from_user() can fail; ->write() must check its return
value.
* severe buffer overruns both in ->read() and ->write() - lseek
to the end (i.e. to mmapper_size) and
if(count + *ppos > mmapper_size)
count = count + *ppos - mmapper_size;
will do absolutely nothing. Then it will call
copy_to_user(buf,&v_buf[*ppos],count);
with obvious results (similar for ->write()).
Fixed by turning read to simple_read_from_buffer() and by doing
normal limiting of count in ->write().
* gratitious lock_kernel() in ->mmap() - it's useless there.
* lots of gratitious includes.
