From 3a158a62da0673db918b53ac1440845a5b64fd90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Hogan Date: Tue, 2 May 2017 19:41:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] metag/uaccess: Check access_ok in strncpy_from_user The metag implementation of strncpy_from_user() doesn't validate the src pointer, which could allow reading of arbitrary kernel memory. Add a short access_ok() check to prevent that. Its still possible for it to read across the user/kernel boundary, but it will invariably reach a NUL character after only 9 bytes, leaking only a static kernel address being loaded into D0Re0 at the beginning of __start, which is acceptable for the immediate fix.
