* alpha: fix broken network checksumMikulas Patocka2014-01-311-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch 3ddc5b46a8e90f3c9251338b60191d0a804b0d92 breaks networking on alpha (there is a follow-up fix 5cfe8f1ba5eebe6f4b6e5858cdb1a5be4f3272a6, but networking is still broken even with the second patch). The patch 3ddc5b46a8e90f3c9251338b60191d0a804b0d92 makes csum_partial_copy_from_user check the pointer with access_ok. However, csum_partial_copy_from_user is called also from csum_partial_copy_nocheck and csum_partial_copy_nocheck is called on kernel pointers and it is supposed not to check pointer validity. This bug results in ssh session hangs if the system is loaded and bulk data are printed to ssh terminal. This patch fixes csum_partial_copy_nocheck to call set_fs(KERNEL_DS), so that access_ok in csum_partial_copy_from_user accepts kernel-space addresses.

* alpha: Prevent a NULL ptr dereference in csum_partial_copy.Jay Estabrook2013-11-161-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | Introduced by 3ddc5b46a8e90f3c92 ("kernel-wide: fix missing validations on __get/__put/__copy_to/__copy_from_user()"). Also fix some other places which could be problematic in a similar way, although they hadn't been proved so, as far as I can tell.

* kernel-wide: fix missing validations on __get/__put/__copy_to/__copy_from_user()Mathieu Desnoyers2013-09-111-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings: grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" * grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" * grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" * The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat, since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they might not be exploitable. For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel buffers, and will fail immediately afterward. The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the access_ok() check entirely. The fix is inspired from x86. This could lead to information leak on alpha. I also noticed that many architectures map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every architectures.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
