From 8a70cefa3037d62e7c0b6068a66675def1a330c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lennert Buytenhek Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2015 10:50:19 +0300 Subject: ieee802154: Fix sockaddr_ieee802154 implicit padding information leak. The AF_IEEE802154 sockaddr looks like this: struct sockaddr_ieee802154 { sa_family_t family; /* AF_IEEE802154 */ struct ieee802154_addr_sa addr; }; struct ieee802154_addr_sa { int addr_type; u16 pan_id; union { u8 hwaddr[IEEE802154_ADDR_LEN]; u16 short_addr; }; }; On most architectures there will be implicit structure padding here, in two different places: * In struct sockaddr_ieee802154, two bytes of padding between 'family' (unsigned short) and 'addr', so that 'addr' starts on a four byte boundary. * In struct ieee802154_addr_sa, two bytes at the end of the structure, to make the structure 16 bytes. When calling recvmsg(2) on a PF_IEEE802154 SOCK_DGRAM socket, the ieee802154 stack constructs a struct sockaddr_ieee802154 on the kernel stack without clearing these padding fields, and, depending on the addr_type, between four and ten bytes of uncleared kernel stack will be copied to userspace. We can't just insert two 'u16 __pad's in the right places and zero those before copying an address to userspace, as not all architectures insert this implicit padding -- from a quick test it seems that avr32, cris and m68k don't insert this padding, while every other architecture that I have cross compilers for does insert this padding. The easiest way to plug the leak is to just memset the whole struct sockaddr_ieee802154 before filling in the fields we want to fill in, and that's what this patch does.
