[ Upstream commit 6de4ef65a8 ]
In the PI433_IOC_WR_TX_CFG case in pi433_ioctl, instance->tx_cfg is
modified via
copy_from_user(&instance->tx_cfg, argp, sizeof(struct pi433_tx_cfg)))
without any kind of synchronization. In the case where two threads
would execute this same command concurrently the tx_cfg field might
enter in an inconsistent state.
Additionally: if ioctl(PI433_IOC_WR_TX_CFG) and write() execute
concurrently the tx config might be modified while it is being
copied to the fifo, resulting in potential data corruption.
Fix: Get instance->tx_cfg_lock before modifying tx config in the
PI433_IOC_WR_TX_CFG case in pi433_ioctl.
Also, do not copy data directly from user space to instance->tx_cfg.
Instead use a temporary buffer allowing future checks for correctness
of copied data and simpler code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
