Hi All,
Enclosed are four bugs where 2.4.4-ac8 kernel code appears to directly
read/write user space pointers. The latter three were found after
forming equivalence classes by:
(1) recording all routines assigned to the same function pointer
field in a structure
(2) if any member of the equiv class treated a parameter as a
user-space pointer, checking that they all do.
Let me know if any of these are wrong. The first one seems pretty bad.

[BUG] raddr seems to be a user pointer, but is written at the end of
the system call.
ipc/shm.c: ERROR: system call 'sys_shmat' derefs non-tainted param= 3
asmlinkage long sys_shmat (int shmid, char *shmaddr, int shmflg, ulong *raddr)
{
struct shmid_kernel *shp;
...
*raddr = (unsigned long) user_addr;
err = 0;
if (IS_ERR(user_addr))
err = PTR_ERR(user_addr);
return err;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[BUG] ./drivers/usb/bluetooth.c: dereference of 'buf' at the beginning of
the switch, and then does a copyin.
ERROR: equivalence class <struct tty_driver:write> contains
2 functions that taint parameter <2>, and 1
functions that dereference it raw.

In the equivalence class for file_operations:write: 55 functions treat
their second parameter as tainted, but two functions use it raw.
