Descripción

*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> fsverity: reject FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY on mode 3 fds<br /> <br /> Commit 56124d6c87fd ("fsverity: support enabling with tree block size f_mode &amp; FMODE_READ))&amp;#39; in __kernel_read() became<br /> reachable by fuzz tests. This happens if FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY is called<br /> on a fd opened with access mode 3, which means "ioctl access only".<br /> <br /> Arguably, FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY should work on ioctl-only fds. But<br /> ioctl-only fds are a weird Linux extension that is rarely used and that<br /> few people even know about. (The documentation for FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY<br /> even specifically says it requires O_RDONLY.) It&amp;#39;s probably not<br /> worthwhile to make the ioctl internally open a new fd just to handle<br /> this case. Thus, just reject the ioctl on such fds for now.
