4.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Douglas Gilbert <dgilb...@interlog.com>
commit 5ecee0a3ee8d74b6950cb41e8989b0c2174568d4 upstream.
One of the strange things that the original sg driver did was let the
user provide both a data-out buffer (it followed the sg_header+cdb)
_and_ specify a reply length greater than zero. What happened was that
the user data-out buffer was copied into some kernel buffers and then
the mid level was told a read type operation would take place with the
data from the device overwriting the same kernel buffers. The user would
then read those kernel buffers back into the user space.
>From what I can tell, the above action was broken by commit fad7f01e61bf
("sg: set dxferp to NULL for READ with the older SG interface") in 2008
and syzkaller found that out recently.
Make sure that a user space pointer is passed through when data follows
the sg_header structure and command. Fix the abnormal case when a
non-zero reply_len is also given.
