Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

USB: core: Make do_proc_control() and do_proc_bulk() killable

The USBDEVFS_CONTROL and USBDEVFS_BULK ioctls invoke
usb_start_wait_urb(), which contains an uninterruptible wait with a
user-specified timeout value. If timeout value is very large and the
device being accessed does not respond in a reasonable amount of time,
the kernel will complain about "Task X blocked for more than N
seconds", as found in testing by syzbot:

INFO: task syz-executor.0:8700 blocked for more than 143 seconds.
Not tainted 5.14.0-rc7-syzkaller #0
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

To fix this problem, this patch replaces usbfs's calls to
usb_control_msg() and usb_bulk_msg() with special-purpose code that
does essentially the same thing (as recommended in the comment for
usb_start_wait_urb()), except that it always uses a killable wait and
it uses GFP_KERNEL rather than GFP_NOIO.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: USB: core: Hacer que do_proc_control() y do_proc_bulk() se puedan eliminar. Los ioctls USBDEVFS_CONTROL y USBDEVFS_BULK invocan usb_start_wait_urb(), que contiene una espera ininterrumpida con un valor de tiempo de espera especificado por el usuario. Si el valor del tiempo de espera es muy grande y el dispositivo al que se accede no responde en un período de tiempo razonable, el kernel se quejará de "Tarea X bloqueada durante más de N segundos", como se encontró en las pruebas realizadas por syzbot: INFORMACIÓN: tarea syz-executor .0:8700 bloqueado durante más de 143 segundos. Not tainted 5.14.0-rc7-syzkaller #0 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" desactiva este mensaje. tarea:syz-executor.0 estado:D pila:23192 pid: 8700 ppid: 8455 banderas:0x00004004 Seguimiento de llamadas: context_switch kernel/sched/core.c:4681 [en línea] __schedule+0xc07/0x11f0 kernel/sched/core.c :5938 programación+0x14b/0x210 kernel/sched/core.c:6017 Schedule_timeout+0x98/0x2f0 kernel/time/timer.c:1857 do_wait_for_common+0x2da/0x480 kernel/sched/completion.c:85 __wait_for_common kernel/sched/completion .c:106 [en línea] wait_for_common kernel/sched/completion.c:117 [en línea] wait_for_completion_timeout+0x46/0x60 kernel/sched/completion.c:157 usb_start_wait_urb+0x167/0x550 drivers/usb/core/message.c:63 do_proc_bulk+0x978/0x1080 controladores/usb/core/devio.c:1236 controladores proc_bulk/usb/core/devio.c:1273 [en línea] usbdev_do_ioctl controladores/usb/core/devio.c:2547 [en línea] usbdev_ioctl+0x3441/ 0x6b10 drivers/usb/core/devio.c:2713 ... Para solucionar este problema, este parche reemplaza las llamadas de usbfs a usb_control_msg() y usb_bulk_msg() con código de propósito especial que hace esencialmente lo mismo (como se recomienda en el comentario para usb_start_wait_urb()), excepto que siempre usa una espera eliminable y usa GFP_KERNEL en lugar de GFP_NOIO.
