Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only memory, making all 'class' structures to be declared at build time placing them into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically allocated at load time.

tty: Restrict access to TIOCLINUX' copy-and-paste subcommands

2023-10-05T09:24:43Z

TIOCLINUX can be used for privilege escalation on virtual terminals when code is executed via tools like su/sudo and sandboxing tools. By abusing the selection features, a lower-privileged application can write content to the console, select and copy/paste that content and thereby executing code on the privileged account. See also the poc here: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/03/14/3 Selection is usually used by tools like gpm that provide mouse features on the virtual console. gpm already runs as root (due to earlier changes that restrict access to a user on the current TTY), therefore it will still work with this change. With this change, the following TIOCLINUX subcommands require CAP_SYS_ADMIN: * TIOCL_SETSEL - setting the selected region on the terminal * TIOCL_PASTESEL - pasting the contents of the selected region into the input buffer * TIOCL_SELLOADLUT - changing word-by-word selection behaviour The security problem mitigated is similar to the security risks caused by TIOCSTI, which, since kernel 6.2, can be disabled with CONFIG_LEGACY_TIOCSTI=n.

vt: Replace strlcpy with strscpy

2023-10-03T12:36:09Z

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first and returns the size of the source string, not the destination string, which can be accidentally misused [1]. The copy_to_user() call uses @len returned from strlcpy() directly without checking its value. This could potentially lead to read overflow. There is no existing bug since @len is always guaranteed to be greater than hardcoded strings in @func_table[kb_func]. But as written it is very fragile and specifically uses a strlcpy() result without sanity checking and using it to copy to userspace. In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy().

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture

2023-09-11T08:13:17Z

The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.
