Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watch_queue: Fix filter limit check In watch_queue_set_filter(), there are a couple of places where we check
that the filter type value does not exceed what the type_filter bitmap
can hold. One place calculates the number of bits by: if (tf[i].type >= sizeof(wfilter->type_filter) * 8) which is fine, but the second does: if (tf[i].type >= sizeof(wfilter->type_filter) * BITS_PER_LONG) which is not. This can lead to a couple of out-of-bounds writes due to
a too-large type: (1) __set_bit() on wfilter->type_filter (2) Writing more elements in wfilter->filters[] than we allocated. Fix this by just using the proper WATCH_TYPE__NR instead, which is the
number of types we actually know about. The bug may cause an oops looking something like: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in watch_queue_set_filter+0x659/0x740 Write of size 4 at addr ffff88800d2c66bc by task watch_queue_oob/611 ...

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: watch_queue: corrige la verificación del límite del filtro En watch_queue_set_filter(), hay un par de lugares donde verificamos que el valor del tipo de filtro no exceda lo que puede contener el mapa de bits type_filter. Un lugar calcula el número de bits mediante: if (tf[i].type &gt;= sizeof(wfilter-&gt;type_filter) * 8) lo cual está bien, pero el segundo sí: if (tf[i].type &gt;= sizeof( wfilter-&gt;type_filter) * BITS_PER_LONG) que no lo es. Esto puede provocar un par de escrituras fuera de los límites debido a un tipo demasiado grande: (1) __set_bit() en wfilter-&gt;type_filter (2) Escribir más elementos en wfilter-&gt;filters[] de los que asignamos. Solucione este problema simplemente usando el WATCH_TYPE__NR adecuado, que es la cantidad de tipos que realmente conocemos. El error puede provocar un error parecido a: ERROR: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in watch_queue_set_filter+0x659/0x740 Escritura de tamaño 4 en la dirección ffff88800d2c66bc mediante la tarea watch_queue_oob/611...
