[PATCH] security: do not leak information in ioctl

From: Tom Rix
Date: Sat Apr 09 2022 - 10:52:09 EST


clang static analysis reports this representative issue
pcd.c:832:22: warning: Assigned value is garbage
or undefined
tochdr->cdth_trk0 = buffer[2];
^ ~~~~~~~~~

If the call to pcd_atapi fails, buffer is an unknown
state. Passing an unknown buffer back to the user
can leak information and is a security risk.

Check before returning this buffer to the user.

The per-case variables cmd and buffer are common.
Change their scope to function level.
Change colliding parameter name cmd to request.

Cleanup whitespace

pcd.c comment
/* the audio_ioctl stuff is adapted from sr_ioctl.c */

Shows there is a similar problem in sr_ioctl.c
sr_ioctl.c uses this pattern

result = sr_do_ioctl(cd, &cgc);
to-user = buffer[];
kfree(buffer);
return result;

Check result and jump over the use of buffer
if there is an error.

result = sr_do_ioctl(cd, &cgc);
if (result)
goto err;
to-user = buffer[];
err:
kfree(buffer);
return result;

Additionally initialize the buffer to zero.

This problem can be seen in the 2.4.0 kernel
However this scm only goes back as far as 2.6.12
