Subject: [SCSI] mpt2sas: prevent heap overflows and unchecked reads
From: Dan Rosenberg <[email protected]>
commit a1f74ae82d133ebb2aabb19d181944b4e83e9960 upstream.
At two points in handling device ioctls via /dev/mpt2ctl, user-supplied
length values are used to copy data from userspace into heap buffers
without bounds checking, allowing controllable heap corruption and
subsequently privilege escalation.
Additionally, user-supplied values are used to determine the size of a
copy_to_user() as well as the offset into the buffer to be read, with no
bounds checking, allowing users to read arbitrary kernel memory.
