[ Upstream commit b6168562c8ce2bd5a30e213021650422e08764dc ]
In ethtool_ioctl(), the ioctl command 'ethcmd' is checked through a switch statement to see whether it is necessary to pre-process the ethtool structure, because, as mentioned in the comment, the structure ethtool_rxnfc is defined with padding. If yes, a user-space buffer 'rxnfc' is allocated through compat_alloc_user_space(). One thing to note here is that, if 'ethcmd' is ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL, the size of the buffer 'rxnfc' is partially determined by 'rule_cnt', which is actually acquired from the user-space buffer 'compat_rxnfc', i.e., 'compat_rxnfc->rule_cnt', through get_user(). After 'rxnfc' is allocated, the data in the original user-space buffer 'compat_rxnfc' is then copied to 'rxnfc' through copy_in_user(), including the 'rule_cnt' field. However, after this copy, no check is re-enforced on 'rxnfc->rule_cnt'. So it is possible that a malicious user race to change the value in the 'compat_rxnfc->rule_cnt' between these two copies. Through this way, the attacker can bypass the previous check on 'rule_cnt' and inject malicious data. This can cause undefined behavior of the kernel and introduce potential security risk.
This patch avoids the above issue via copying the value acquired by get_user() to 'rxnfc->rule_cn', if 'ethcmd' is ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL.
