2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Tyler Hicks <tyhi...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> commit 2e21b3f124eceb6ab5a07c8a061adce14ac94e14 upstream. eCryptfs was passing the LOOKUP_OPEN flag through to the lower file system, even though ecryptfs_create() doesn't support the flag. A valid filp for the lower filesystem could be returned in the nameidata if the lower file system's create() function supported LOOKUP_OPEN, possibly resulting in unencrypted writes to the lower file. However, this is only a potential problem in filesystems (FUSE, NFS, CIFS, CEPH, 9p) that eCryptfs isn't known to support today. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/641703 Reported-by: Kevin Buhr Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhi...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gre...@suse.de> --- fs/ecryptfs/inode.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) --- a/fs/ecryptfs/inode.c +++ b/fs/ecryptfs/inode.c @@ -70,15 +70,19 @@ ecryptfs_create_underlying_file(struct i struct vfsmount *lower_mnt = ecryptfs_dentry_to_lower_mnt(dentry); struct dentry *dentry_save; struct vfsmount *vfsmount_save; + unsigned int flags_save; int rc; dentry_save = nd->path.dentry; vfsmount_save = nd->path.mnt; + flags_save = nd->flags; nd->path.dentry = lower_dentry; nd->path.mnt = lower_mnt; + nd->flags &= ~LOOKUP_OPEN; rc = vfs_create(lower_dir_inode, lower_dentry, mode, nd); nd->path.dentry = dentry_save; nd->path.mnt = vfsmount_save; + nd->flags = flags_save; return rc; } _______________________________________________ stable mailing list stable@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/stable
