yam: fix a missing-check bug
In yam_ioctl(), the concrete ioctl command is firstly copied from the user-space buffer 'ifr->ifr_data' to 'ioctl_cmd' and checked through the following switch statement. If the command is not as expected, an error code EINVAL is returned. In the following execution the buffer 'ifr->ifr_data' is copied again in the cases of the switch statement to specific data structures according to what kind of ioctl command is requested. However, after the second copy, no re-check is enforced on the newly-copied command. Given that the buffer 'ifr->ifr_data' is in the user space, a malicious user can race to change the command between the two copies. This way, the attacker can inject inconsistent data and cause undefined behavior. This patch adds a re-check in each case of the switch statement if there is a second copy in that case, to re-check whether the command obtained in the second copy is the same as the one in the first copy. If not, an error code EINVAL will be returned. Signed-off-by:Wenwen Wang <wang6495@umn.edu> Signed-off-by:
