H A Ddrm_crtc.c101b96f3 Mon Aug 26 08:16:49 CDT 2013 David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@gmail.com> drm: fix DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETFB handle-leak

DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETFB is used to retrieve information about a given
framebuffer ID. It is a read-only helper and was thus declassified for
unprivileged access in:

drm: remove master fd restriction on mode setting getters

However, alongside width, height and stride information,
DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETFB also passes back a handle to the underlying buffer of
the framebuffer. This handle allows users to mmap() it and read or write
into it. Obviously, this should be restricted to DRM-Master.

With the current setup, *any* process with access to /dev/dri/card0 (which
means any process with access to hardware-accelerated rendering) can
access the current screen framebuffer and modify it ad libitum.

For backwards-compatibility reasons we want to keep the
DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETFB call unprivileged. Besides, it provides quite useful
information regarding screen setup. So we simply test whether the caller
is the current DRM-Master and if not, we return 0 as handle, which is
always invalid. A following DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CLOSE on this handle will fail
with EINVAL, but we accept this. Users shouldn't test for errors during
GEM_CLOSE, anyway. And it is still better as a failing MODE_GETFB call.

v2: add capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) check for compatibility with i-g-t
