Nicolas Iooss 3958b79266 configfs: fix kernel infoleak through user-controlled format string
Some modules call config_item_init_type_name() and config_group_init_type_name()
with parameter "name" directly controlled by userspace.  These two
functions call config_item_set_name() with this name used as a format
string, which can be used to leak information such as content of the
stack to userspace.

For example, make_netconsole_target() in netconsole module calls
config_item_init_type_name() with the name of a newly-created directory.
This means that the following commands give some unexpected output, with
configfs mounted in /sys/kernel/config/ and on a system with a
configured eth0 ethernet interface:

    # modprobe netconsole
    # mkdir /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx
    # echo eth0 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/dev_name
    # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/enabled
    # echo eth0 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/dev_name
    # dmesg |tail -n1
    [  142.697668] netconsole: target (target_ffffffffc0ae8080) is
    enabled, disable to update parameters

The directory name is correct but %lx has been interpreted in the
internal item name, displayed here in the error message used by
store_dev_name() in drivers/net/netconsole.c.

To fix this, update every caller of config_item_set_name to use "%s"
when operating on untrusted input.

This issue was found using -Wformat-security gcc flag, once a __printf
attribute has been added to config_item_set_name().

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:

    * This source code.  This is necessarily an evolving work, and
      includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
      ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
      "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.)  Also, Documentation/usb has
      more information.

    * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
      such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
      The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
      peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".

    * Chip specifications for USB controllers.  Examples include
      host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
      controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
      cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.

    * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
      functions.  Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
      but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.

Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.

core/		- This is for the core USB host code, including the
		  usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq").

host/		- This is for USB host controller drivers.  This
		  includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
		  be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.

gadget/		- This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
		  the various gadget drivers which talk to them.


Individual USB driver directories.  A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.

image/		- This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
		  digital cameras.
../input/	- This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
		  like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/	- This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
		  radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
		  subsystem.
../net/		- This is for network drivers.
serial/		- This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/	- This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories, and work for a range
		  of USB Class specified devices. 
misc/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories.
