But it is never called in this situation. Instead, pointer() falls back to ptr_to_id() and hashes the pointer. This patch removes the potential confusion. klp_restrict is checked only in restricted_pointer(). It actually fixes a small race when the address might get printed unhashed: CPU0 CPU1 pointer() if (!kptr_restrict) /* for example set to 2 */ restricted_pointer() /* echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict */ proc_dointvec_minmax_sysadmin() klpr_restrict = 0; switch(kptr_restrict) case 0: break: number() Fixes: commit ef0010a30935de4e0211 ("vsprintf: don't use 'restricted_pointer()' when not restricting") Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Tobin Harding Cc: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek --- lib/vsprintf.c | 6 ++---- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/vsprintf.c b/lib/vsprintf.c index eef9f725e9ff..2678dfe61d73 100644 --- a/lib/vsprintf.c +++ b/lib/vsprintf.c @@ -694,8 +694,8 @@ char *restricted_pointer(char *buf, char *end, const void *ptr, { switch (kptr_restrict) { case 0: - /* Always print %pK values */ - break; + /* Handle as %p, hash and do _not_ leak addresses. */ + return ptr_to_id(buf, end, ptr, spec); case 1: { const struct cred *cred; @@ -1915,8 +1915,6 @@ char *pointer(const char *fmt, char *buf, char *end, void *ptr, return buf; } case 'K': - if (!kptr_restrict) - break; return restricted_pointer(buf, end, ptr, spec); case 'N': return netdev_bits(buf, end, ptr, fmt); -- 2.13.6
