Currently fpmr_set() doesn't initialize the temporary 'fpmr' variable,
and a SETREGSET call with a length of zero will leave this
uninitialized. Consequently an arbitrary value will be written back to
target->thread.uw.fpmr, potentially leaking up to 64 bits of memory from
the kernel stack. The read is limited to a specific slot on the stack,
and the issue does not provide a write mechanism.
Fix this by initializing the temporary value before copying the regset
from userspace, as for other regsets (e.g. NT_PRSTATUS, NT_PRFPREG,
NT_ARM_SYSTEM_CALL). In the case of a zero-length write, the existing
contents of FPMR will be retained.
Before this patch:
| # ./fpmr-test
| Attempting to write NT_ARM_FPMR::fpmr = 0x900d900d900d900d
| SETREGSET(nt=0x40e, len=8) wrote 8 bytes
|
| Attempting to read NT_ARM_FPMR::fpmr
| GETREGSET(nt=0x40e, len=8) read 8 bytes
| Read NT_ARM_FPMR::fpmr = 0x900d900d900d900d

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
