Descriptions

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

block: Fix WARNING in _copy_from_iter

Syzkaller reports a warning in _copy_from_iter because an
iov_iter is supposedly used in the wrong direction. The reason
is that syzcaller managed to generate a request with
a transfer direction of SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV. This instructs
the kernel to copy user buffers into the kernel, read into
the copied buffers and then copy the data back to user space.

Thus the iovec is used in both directions.

Detect this situation in the block layer and construct a new
iterator with the correct direction for the copy-in.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: bloque: Reparar ADVERTENCIA en _copy_from_iter Syzkaller informa una advertencia en _copy_from_iter porque supuestamente se usa un iov_iter en la dirección incorrecta. La razón es que syzcaller logró generar una solicitud con una dirección de transferencia de SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV. Esto le indica al kernel que copie los buffers del usuario en el kernel, los lea en los buffers copiados y luego copie los datos nuevamente al espacio del usuario. Por tanto, el iovec se utiliza en ambas direcciones. Detecte esta situación en la capa de bloque y construya un nuevo iterador con la dirección correcta para la copia.
