Hi All,
Here's a few apparent security holes in 2.4.5-ac4. The biggest is in
fs/ioctl.c where it looks like a new option was added that seems to
write directly to the user pointer, essentially giving anyone complete
control over the machine.
4 | drivers/net/wan/cosa.c
2 | drivers/usb/bluetooth.c
1 | drivers/isdn/eicon/linchr.c
1 | drivers/sound/wavfront.c
1 | fs/ioctl.c
---------------------------------------------------------
[BUG] looks really broken.
/u2/engler/mc/oses/linux/2.4.5-ac4/fs/ioctl.c:108:sys_ioctl: ERROR:PARAM:70:108: Deref tainted var 'arg' (tainted from line 70)
case FIONCLEX:
set_close_on_exec(fd, 0);
break;
case FIONBIO:
Start --->

... DELETED 32 lines ...
case FIOQSIZE:
if (S_ISDIR(filp->f_dentry->d_inode->i_mode) ||
S_ISREG(filp->f_dentry->d_inode->i_mode) ||

Error --->

else
error = -ENOTTY;
break;
---------------------------------------------------------
[BUG] sure seems like it. In general, all 4 dereferences seem pretty bad.

[BUG] why copy it in then use the inital thing?

return -EINVAL;

cosa->firmware_status &= ~(COSA_FW_RESET|COSA_FW_DOWNLOAD);

[BUG] seems retty clear

[BUG] fixed in ac5, I believe.

[BUG] [RESURRECTED] Should be fixed in ac5, though.
