[PATCH v3 part1 4/4] sg_io: resolve conflicts between commands assigned to multiple classes (CVE-2012-4542)

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Thu May 23 2013 - 09:58:49 EST


Some SCSI commands can be sent to disks via SG_IO even by unprivileged
users. Unfortunately, some opcodes overlap across SCSI device classes
and have different meanings for different classes. Four of them can
be used for read-only file descriptors on MMC, but should be limited to
descriptors opened for read-write on SBC:

- READ SUBCHANNEL <-> UNMAP (destructive, but no control on written
data)

- GET PERFORMANCE <-> ERASE (not really a problem, no one supports
ERASE anyway)

- READ DISC INFORMATION <-> XPWRITE (not commonly implemented but
most dangerous)

- PLAY AUDIO TI <-> SANITIZE (a very new command)

In addition, REPORT KEY's opcode A4h is used in SPC for SET TARGET PORT
GROUPS and various other management commands, and should be blocked
for everything except CD-ROMs and the like.

To fix this, the series modifies the bitmap entries for these five
commands. This is the smallest change that fixes this bug.
