random: strengthen input validation for RNDADDTOENTCNT
Don't allow RNDADDTOENTCNT or RNDADDENTROPY to accept a negative entropy value. It doesn't make any sense to subtract from the entropy counter, and it can trigger a warning: random: negative entropy/overflow: pool input count -40000 ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 6828 at drivers/char/random.c:670[< none >] credit_entropy_bits+0x21e/0xad0 drivers/char/random.c:670 Modules linked in: CPU: 3 PID: 6828 Comm: a.out Not tainted 4.7.0-rc4+ #4 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 ffffffff880b58e0 ffff88005dd9fcb0 ffffffff82cc838f ffffffff87158b40 fffffbfff1016b1c 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffffffff87158b40 ffffffff83283dae 0000000000000009 ffff88005dd9fcf8 ffffffff8136d27f Call Trace: [< inline >] __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:15 [<ffffffff82cc838f>] dump_stack+0x12e/0x18f lib/dump_stack.c:51 [<ffffffff8136d27f>] __warn+0x19f/0x1e0 kernel/panic.c:516 [<ffffffff8136d48c>] warn_slowpath_null+0x2c/0x40 kernel/panic.c:551 [<ffffffff83283dae>] credit_entropy_bits+0x21e/0xad0 drivers/char/random.c:670 [< inline >] credit_entropy_bits_safe drivers/char/random.c:734 [<ffffffff8328785d>] random_ioctl+0x21d/0x250 drivers/char/random.c:1546 [< inline >] vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:43 [<ffffffff8185316c>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x18c/0xff0 fs/ioctl.c:674 [< inline >] SYSC_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:689 [<ffffffff8185405f>] SyS_ioctl+0x8f/0xc0 fs/ioctl.c:680 [<ffffffff86a995c0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x23/0xc1 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:207 ---[ end trace 5d4902b2ba842f1f ]--- This was triggered using the test program: // autogenerated by syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller) int main() { int fd = open("/dev/random", O_RDWR); int val = -5000; ioctl(fd, RNDADDTOENTCNT, &val); return 0; } It's harmless in that (a) only root can trigger it, and (b) after complaining the code never does let the entropy count go negative, but it's better to simply not allow this userspace from passing in a negative entropy value altogether.
