From 84929801e14d968caeb84795bfbb88f04283fbd9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suresh Siddha Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2005 17:14:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: TASK_SIZE fixes for compatibility mode processes Appended patch will setup compatibility mode TASK_SIZE properly. This will fix atleast three known bugs that can be encountered while running compatibility mode apps. a) A malicious 32bit app can have an elf section at 0xffffe000. During exec of this app, we will have a memory leak as insert_vm_struct() is not checking for return value in syscall32_setup_pages() and thus not freeing the vma allocated for the vsyscall page. And instead of exec failing (as it has addresses > TASK_SIZE), we were allowing it to succeed previously. b) With a 32bit app, hugetlb_get_unmapped_area/arch_get_unmapped_area may return addresses beyond 32bits, ultimately causing corruption because of wrap-around and resulting in SEGFAULT, instead of returning ENOMEM. c) 32bit app doing this below mmap will now fail. mmap((void *)(0xFFFFE000UL), 0x10000UL, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_FIXED|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON, 0, 0); Signed-off-by: Zou Nan hai Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha Cc: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c') diff --git a/arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c b/arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c index 761b6d35e33..dce8bab4306 100644 --- a/arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c +++ b/arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c @@ -656,7 +656,7 @@ long do_arch_prctl(struct task_struct *task, int code, unsigned long addr) switch (code) { case ARCH_SET_GS: - if (addr >= TASK_SIZE) + if (addr >= TASK_SIZE_OF(task)) return -EPERM; cpu = get_cpu(); /* handle small bases via the GDT because that's faster to @@ -682,7 +682,7 @@ long do_arch_prctl(struct task_struct *task, int code, unsigned long addr) case ARCH_SET_FS: /* Not strictly needed for fs, but do it for symmetry with gs */ - if (addr >= TASK_SIZE) + if (addr >= TASK_SIZE_OF(task)) return -EPERM; cpu = get_cpu(); /* handle small bases via the GDT because that's faster to -- cgit v1.2.3
