net/mlx5: fix uaccess beyond "count" in debugfs read/write handlers
In general, accessing userspace memory beyond the length of the supplied buffer in VFS read/write handlers can lead to both kernel memory corruption (via kernel_read()/kernel_write(), which can e.g. be triggered via sys_splice()) and privilege escalation inside userspace. In this case, the affected files are in debugfs (and should therefore only be accessible to root) and check that *pos is zero (which prevents the sys_splice() trick). Therefore, this is not a security fix, but rather a small cleanup. For the read handlers, fix it by using simple_read_from_buffer() instead of custom logic. For the write handler, add a check. changed in v2: - also fix dbg_write() Fixes: e126ba9 ("mlx5: Add driver for Mellanox Connect-IB adapters") Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Reviewed-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@mellanox.com>
