Title
tpm: Make the TPM character devices non-seekable
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tpm: Make the TPM character devices non-seekable The TPM character devices expose a sequential command/response interface, but their open handlers leave FMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE enabled. After a command leaves a response pending, pread(fd, buf, 16, 0x1400) passes 0x1400 as *off to tpm_common_read(). The transfer length is bounded by response_length, but the offset is used unchecked when forming data_buffer + *off. A sufficiently large offset therefore causes an out-of-bounds heap read through copy_to_user() and, if the copy succeeds, an out-of-bounds zero-write through the following memset(). Positional I/O does not provide coherent semantics for this interface. An arbitrary pread offset cannot represent how much of a response has been consumed sequentially. The write callback always stores a command at the start of data_buffer, while pwrite() does not update file->f_pos and can leave the sequential read cursor stale. Call nonseekable_open() from both open handlers. This removes FMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE, causing positional reads and writes to fail with -ESPIPE before reaching the TPM callbacks, and explicitly marks the files non-seekable. Normal read() and write() continue to use the existing sequential f_pos cursor, leaving the response state machine unchanged. Tested on Linux 6.12 with KASAN and a swtpm TPM2 device: - sequential partial reads returned the complete response - pread() and preadv() with offset 0x1400 returned -ESPIPE - pwrite() and pwritev() with offset zero returned -ESPIPE - the pending response remained intact after the rejected operations - a subsequent normal command/response cycle completed normally - no KASAN report was produced.

The transfer length is\\nbounded by response_length, but the offset is used unchecked when\\nforming data_buffer + *off. A sufficiently large offset therefore causes\\nan out-of-bounds heap read through copy_to_user() and, if the copy\\nsucceeds, an out-of-bounds zero-write through the following memset().\\n\\nPositional I/O does not provide coherent semantics for this interface.\\nAn arbitrary pread offset cannot represent how much of a response has\\nbeen consumed sequentially. The write callback always stores a command\\nat the start of data_buffer, while pwrite() does not update file-\u003ef_pos\\nand can leave the sequential read cursor stale.\\n\\nCall nonseekable_open() from both open handlers. This removes\\nFMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE, causing positional reads and writes to\\nfail with -ESPIPE before reaching the TPM callbacks, and explicitly\\nmarks the files non-seekable. Normal read() and write() continue to use\\nthe existing sequential f_pos cursor, leaving the response state machine\\nunchanged.\\n\\nTested on Linux 6.12 with KASAN and a swtpm TPM2 device:\\n\\n - sequential partial reads returned the complete response\\n - pread() and preadv() with offset 0x1400 returned -ESPIPE\\n - pwrite() and pwritev() with offset zero returned -ESPIPE\\n - the pending response remained intact after the rejected operations\\n - a subsequent normal command/response cycle completed normally\\n - no KASAN report was produced.\"}],\"affected\":[{\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"affectedData\":[{\"vendor\":\"Linux\",\"product\":\"Linux\",\"defaultStatus\":\"unaffected\",\"programFiles\":[\"drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev.c\",\"drivers/char/tpm/tpmrm-dev.c\"],\"repo\":\"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\"versions\":[{\"version\":\"9488585b21bef0df1217e510c7134905d1d376a7\",\"lessThan\":\"ed0ffc2c016629e40ba041ed0424a772d8b02e2c\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"9488585b21bef0df1217e510c7134905d1d376a7\",\"lessThan\":\"232dcf908eb7eb9d8046a9597975caf44270966e\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"9488585b21bef0df1217e510c7134905d1d376a7\",\"lessThan\":\"dda695fab5e21f923d29e8cb01df256468ddfbd1\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"9488585b21bef0df1217e510c7134905d1d376a7\",\"lessThan\":\"9c513dabd4540f811585a2087f23069767a284da\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"9488585b21bef0df1217e510c7134905d1d376a7\",\"lessThan\":\"21a13f932972bc9836f58c44fcd47c62abdecd95\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"9488585b21bef0df1217e510c7134905d1d376a7\",\"lessThan\":\"ada4b9a5087ea7f30dd8e4c6411a4fb6547eb1ed\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"9488585b21bef0df1217e510c7134905d1d376a7\",\"lessThan\":\"947b773caaa548672184df025271b29bdc80b0f1\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"9488585b21bef0df1217e510c7134905d1d376a7\",\"lessThan\":\"f20d61c22bcaf172d6790b6500e3838e532e71c8\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"}]},{\"vendor\":\"Linux\",\"product\":\"Linux\",\"defaultStatus\":\"affected\",\"programFiles\":[\"drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev.c\",\"drivers/char/tpm/tpmrm-dev.c\"],\"repo\":\"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\"versions\":[{\"version\":\"5.0\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"0\",\"lessThan\":\"5.0\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"5.10.261\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"5.10.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"5.15.212\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"5.15.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.1.178\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.1.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.6.145\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.6.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.12.97\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.12.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.18.40\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.18.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"7.1.5\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"7.1.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"7.2\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"*\",\"versionType\":\"original_commit_for_fix\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"}]}]}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H\",\"baseScore\":7.8,\"baseSeverity\":\"HIGH\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.8,\"impactScore\":5.9}]},\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/21a13f932972bc9836f58c44fcd47c62abdecd95\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/232dcf908eb7eb9d8046a9597975caf44270966e\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/947b773caaa548672184df025271b29bdc80b0f1\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9c513dabd4540f811585a2087f23069767a284da\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ada4b9a5087ea7f30dd8e4c6411a4fb6547eb1ed\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dda695fab5e21f923d29e8cb01df256468ddfbd1\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ed0ffc2c016629e40ba041ed0424a772d8b02e2c\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f20d61c22bcaf172d6790b6500e3838e532e71c8\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"}]}}",
