+Subject: [PATCH] x86, x32: Correct invalid use of user timespec in the kernel
+
+The x32 case for the recvmsg() timout handling is broken:
+
+  asmlinkage long compat_sys_recvmmsg(int fd, struct compat_mmsghdr __user *mmsg,
+                                      unsigned int vlen, unsigned int flags,
+                                      struct compat_timespec __user *timeout)
+  {
+          int datagrams;
+          struct timespec ktspec;
+
+          if (flags & MSG_CMSG_COMPAT)
+                  return -EINVAL;
+
+          if (COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME)
+                  return __sys_recvmmsg(fd, (struct mmsghdr __user *)mmsg, vlen,
+                                        flags | MSG_CMSG_COMPAT,
+                                        (struct timespec *) timeout);
+          ...
+
+The timeout pointer parameter is provided by userland (hence the __user
+annotation) but for x32 syscalls it's simply cast to a kernel pointer
+and is passed to __sys_recvmmsg which will eventually directly
+dereference it for both reading and writing.  Other callers to
+__sys_recvmmsg properly copy from userland to the kernel first.
+
+The bug was introduced by commit ee4fa23c4bfc ("compat: Use
+COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/compat.c") and should affect all kernels
+since 3.4 (and perhaps vendor kernels if they backported x32 support
+along with this code).
+
+Note that CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI gets enabled at build time and only if
+CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled and ld can build x32 executables.
+
+Other uses of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME seem fine.
+
+This addresses CVE-2014-0038.
