From 3b97eed201376db6c4487fc846022eb4ffa7e1f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2010 07:56:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Staging: sst: dereferencing user pointers This code dereferences user supplied pointers directly instead of doing a copy_from_user(). Some kernel configs put user and kernel memory in different address spaces so this code isn't portable. Also the user memory could be swapped out or in this case the pointer could just be NULL leading to an oops. Another thing is that it makes permission tests like this sort of meaningless. if (minor == STREAM_MODULE && rec_mute->stream_id == 0) { retval = -EPERM; break; } The user could set stream_id to 1 for the test and then change it later.
