+Subject: scsi: sg: mitigate read/write abuse
+
+From: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>
+
+commit 26b5b874aff5659a7e26e5b1997e3df2c41fa7fd upstream.
+
+As Al Viro noted in commit 128394eff343 ("sg_write()/bsg_write() is not fit
+to be called under KERNEL_DS"), sg improperly accesses userspace memory
+outside the provided buffer, permitting kernel memory corruption via
+splice(). But it doesn't just do it on ->write(), also on ->read().
+
+As a band-aid, make sure that the ->read() and ->write() handlers can not
+be called in weird contexts (kernel context or credentials different from
+file opener), like for ib_safe_file_access().
+
+If someone needs to use these interfaces from different security contexts,
+a new interface should be written that goes through the ->ioctl() handler.
+
+I've mostly copypasted ib_safe_file_access() over as sg_safe_file_access()
+because I couldn't find a good common header - please tell me if you know a
+better way.
+
+[mkp: s/_safe_/_check_/]
