Summary of Changes

In the RT-Smart terminal subsystem, userspace ioctl commands (such as TIOCGWINSZ, TIOCSWINSZ, TIOCGPGRP, TIOCGSID, FIONREAD, and TIOCGPTN) were previously passed directly to underlying FreeBSD ioctl handlers as raw user pointers without kernel staging or copy validation.

This patch addresses the user pointer dereference sinks:

  1. In lwp_tty_ioctl_adapter(), stage arguments in kernel stack buffers and use _copy_from_user() / _copy_to_user() (lwp_get_from_user / lwp_put_to_user) for TIOCGWINSZ, TIOCSWINSZ, TIOCGPGRP, TIOCSPGRP, TIOCGSID, TIOCSTI, TIOCOUTQ, FIONREAD, and modem commands.
  2. In ptm_fops_ioctl(), safely buffer arguments for TIOCGPTN, TIOCPKT, TIOCSIG, TIOCGPGRP, TIOCGSID, FIONREAD, TIOCOUTQ, TIOCGWINSZ, TIOCSWINSZ, and termios settings, returning -ENOTTY on unrecognized commands.
  3. In tty_generic_ioctl(), add defense-in-depth boundary checks using lwp_in_user_space() to safeguard kernel memory from arbitrary pointer dereferences.

👋 感谢您对 RT-Thread 的贡献!Thank you for your contribution to RT-Thread!

为确保代码符合 RT-Thread 的编码规范,请在你的仓库中执行以下步骤运行代码格式化工作流(如果格式化CI运行失败)。
To ensure your code complies with RT-Thread's coding style, please run the code formatting workflow by following the steps below (If the formatting of CI fails to run).


🛠 操作步骤 | Steps

  1. 前往 Actions 页面 | Go to the Actions page
    点击进入工作流 → | Click to open workflow →

  2. 点击 Run workflow | Click Run workflow

  • Use workflow from 保持默认分支(通常为 master)
    Keep the default branch (usually master) in Use workflow from
  • 在 branch 输入框填写 PR 分支 fix/smart-tty-ioctl-bounds
    Enter PR branch fix/smart-tty-ioctl-bounds in the branch field
  • 设置需排除的文件/目录(目录请以"/"结尾)
    Set files/directories to exclude (directories should end with "/")
  1. 等待工作流完成 | Wait for the workflow to complete
    格式化后的代码将作为独立提交推送至你的分支。
    The formatting changes will be pushed to your branch as a separate commit.

完成后,提交将自动更新至 fix/smart-tty-ioctl-bounds 分支,关联的 Pull Request 也会同步更新。
Once completed, commits will be pushed to the fix/smart-tty-ioctl-bounds branch automatically, and the related Pull Request will be updated.

如有问题欢迎联系我们,再次感谢您的贡献!💐
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Thanks again for your contribution!
