From 550c7910f0e2fd4f130fec2f17541f3614fdfaf9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2014 12:27:06 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] futex: Validate atomic acquisition in futex_lock_pi_atomic() We need to protect the atomic acquisition in the kernel against rogue user space which sets the user space futex to 0, so the kernel side acquisition succeeds while there is existing state in the kernel associated to the real owner. Verify whether the futex has waiters associated with kernel state. If it has, return -EINVAL. The state is corrupted already, so no point in cleaning it up. Subsequent calls will fail as well. Not our problem. [ tglx: Use futex_top_waiter() and explain why we do not need to try restoring the already corrupted user space state. ] Signed-off-by: Darren Hart Cc: Kees Cook Cc: Will Drewry Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner --- kernel/futex.c | 14 +++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/futex.c b/kernel/futex.c index c105bcf92f03..f803f283e5e0 100644 --- a/kernel/futex.c +++ b/kernel/futex.c @@ -744,10 +744,18 @@ retry: return -EDEADLK; /* - * Surprise - we got the lock.
