Subject: s390/sclp_ctl: fix potential information leak with /dev/sclp

From: Martin Schwidefsky <[email protected]>

commit 532c34b5fbf1687df63b3fcd5b2846312ac943c6 upstream.

The sclp_ctl_ioctl_sccb function uses two copy_from_user calls to retrieve the sclp request from user space. The first copy_from_user fetches the length of the request which is stored in the first two bytes of the request. The second copy_from_user gets the complete sclp request, but this copies the length field a second time. A malicious user may have changed the length in the meantime.
