commit0ac1d13a55upstream. kernel_write() requires the caller to ensure that the file is writable. Let's do that directly after looking up the ->send_fd. We don't need a separate bailout path because the "out" path already does fput() if ->send_filp is non-NULL. This has no security impact for two reasons: - the ioctl requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN - __kernel_write() bails out on read-only files - but only since 5.8, see commita01ac27be4("fs: check FMODE_WRITE in __kernel_write") Reported-and-tested-by: syzbot+12e098239d20385264d3@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=12e098239d20385264d3 Fixes:31db9f7c23("Btrfs: introduce BTRFS_IOC_SEND for btrfs send/receive") CC: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.14+ Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Reviewed-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
