[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: pcm: Fix snd_pcm_hw_params struct copy in compat mode
Running a kernel with KASan enabled, we spotted that the following read in sound/soc/soc-pcm.c:soc_pcm_hw_params() is out of bounds:
/* copy params for each codec */ codec_params = *params;
The problem comes from sound/core/pcm_compat.c, snd_pcm_ioctl_hw_params_compat, where we're copying from a struct snd_pcm_hw_params to a struct snd_pcm_hw_params32:
/* only fifo_size is different, so just copy all */ data = memdup_user(data32, sizeof(*data32));
It turns out that snd_pcm_hw_params is 4 bytes longer than snd_pcm_hw_params32, that's why an out-of-bounds read happens.
We separate kmalloc and memory copy operations to make sure data has the correct length.

Thanks for reporting. This is indeed effectively a revert of the commit ef44a1ec6eee ('ALSA: sound/core: use memdup_user()'), which is obviously wrong. Sigh, it's a really danger of such a "cleanup" patch.
Could you rephrase the changelog mentioning the affecting commit and resubmit?

Oh, well spotted!

Sure. Looking at that commit, there is another suspicious memdup_user in sound/seq/seq_compat.c (similar issue: struct snd_seq_port_info32 is 4 bytes shorter than struct snd_seq_port_info). I'll revert that one as well.

Good catch. I'm looking forward to seeing newer patches!
