In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI/sysfs: Fix out-of-bounds read in pci_write_legacy_io()
pci_write_legacy_io() loads 4 bytes from the kernfs write buffer
regardless of how many bytes userspace wrote:
if (count != 1 && count != 2 && count != 4)
return -EINVAL;
return pci_legacy_write(bus, off, *(u32 *)buf, count);
kernfs_fop_write_iter() allocates the buffer with kmalloc(len + 1),
so a 1-byte write to the legacy_io sysfs file allocates 2 bytes and
the unconditional u32 load reads up to 2 bytes past the end of the
allocation, which KASAN reports as a slab-out-of-bounds read.
Similarly, a 2-byte write overreads by 1 byte.
Thus, read only the number of bytes requested using get_unaligned_le16()
and get_unaligned_le32() for the 2 and 4 byte cases, interpreting the
buffer as little-endian to match the byte ordering of PCI I/O port
space.
The PowerPC implementation previously compensated for the generic
code's native-endian 32-bit load by shifting the value into place
for the 1 and 2 byte cases. The shifts were only correct on
big-endian kernels.
On little-endian PowerPC (POWER8 and later), they extracted the wrong
bytes, so a 1-byte write wrote an out-of-bounds byte instead of the
requested value. On big-endian, the native load also caused out_le16()
and out_le32() to reverse the user's bytes on the wire for 2 and 4 byte
writes. The little-endian helpers resolve both issues, so the shifts
are removed.
No changes are needed for the Alpha platform.
The legacy_io file is root-only and exists only on Alpha and PowerPC,
the two architectures that define HAVE_PCI_LEGACY.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's PCI/sysfs component. A local user with root privileges could trigger an out-of-bounds read in the pci_write_legacy_io() function by writing to the legacy_io sysfs file with a size less than four bytes. This improper handling of the write buffer can lead to memory corruption, potentially allowing for information disclosure or other system instability. On little-endian PowerPC systems, this could also result in an out-of-bounds write.
