  • b24413180   License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license ... Browse Code »

    Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
    makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

    By default all files without license information are under the default
    license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

    Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
    SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
    shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

    This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
    Philippe Ombredanne.

    How this work was done:

    Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
    the use cases:
    - file had no licensing information it it.
    - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
    - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

    Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
    where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
    had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

    The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
    a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
    output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
    tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
    base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

    The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
    assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
    results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
    to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
    immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

    Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
    - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
    - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
    lines of source
    - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

  • 378c6520e   fs/coredump: prevent fsuid=0 dumps into user-controlled directories ... Browse Code »

    This commit fixes the following security hole affecting systems where
    all of the following conditions are fulfilled:

    - The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2.
    - The kernel.core_pattern sysctl's value starts with "/". (Systems
    where kernel.core_pattern starts with "|/" are not affected.)
    - Unprivileged user namespace creation is permitted. (This is
    true on Linux >=3.8, but some distributions disallow it by
    default using a distro patch.)

    Under these conditions, if a program executes under secure exec rules,
    causing it to run with the SUID_DUMP_ROOT flag, then unshares its user
    namespace, changes its root directory and crashes, the coredump will be
    written using fsuid=0 and a path derived from kernel.core_pattern - but
    this path is interpreted relative to the root directory of the process,
    allowing the attacker to control where a coredump will be written with
    root privileges.

    To fix the security issue, always interpret core_pattern for dumps that
    are written under SUID_DUMP_ROOT relative to the root directory of init.

  • 161f873b8   vfs: read file_handle only once in handle_to_path ... Browse Code »

    We used to read file_handle twice. Once to get the amount of extra
    bytes, and once to fetch the entire structure.

    This may be problematic since we do size verifications only after the
    first read, so if the number of extra bytes changes in userspace between
    the first and second calls, we'll have an incoherent view of
    file_handle.

    Instead, read the constant size once, and copy that over to the final
    structure without having to re-read it again.

    Pull nfsd update from Bruce Fields:
    "Included this time:

    - more nfsd containerization work from Stanislav Kinsbursky: we're
    not quite there yet, but should be by 3.9.

    - NFSv4.1 progress: implementation of basic backchannel security
    negotiation and the mandatory BACKCHANNEL_CTL operation. See

    http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues

    for remaining TODO's

    - Fixes for some bugs that could be triggered by unusual compounds.
    Our xdr code wasn't designed with v4 compounds in mind, and it
    shows. A more thorough rewrite is still a todo.

    - If you've ever seen "RPC: multiple fragments per record not
    supported" logged while using some sort of odd userland NFS client,
    that should now be fixed.

    - Further work from Jeff Layton on our mechanism for storing
    information about NFSv4 clients across reboots.

    - Further work from Bryan Schumaker on his fault-injection mechanism
    (which allows us to discard selective NFSv4 state, to excercise
    rarely-taken recovery code paths in the client.)

    - The usual mix of miscellaneous bugs and cleanup.

    Thanks to everyone who tested or contributed this cycle."
