Subject: [PATCH] HID: uhid: prevent uhid_char_write() under KERNEL_DS

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

When a UHID_CREATE command is written to the uhid char device, a
copy_from_user() is done from a user pointer embedded in the command.
When the address limit is KERNEL_DS, e.g. as is the case during
sendfile(), this can read from kernel memory.  Therefore, UHID_CREATE
must not be allowed in this case.

For consistency and to make sure all current and future uhid commands
are covered, apply the restriction to uhid_char_write() as a whole
rather than to UHID_CREATE specifically.

Thanks to Dmitry Vyukov for adding uhid definitions to syzkaller and to
Jann Horn for commit 9da3f2b740544 ("x86/fault: BUG() when uaccess
helpers fault on kernel addresses"), allowing this bug to be found.
