Umm...  Maybe kzalloc(), then?  You have

struct vhost_msg_node {
  struct vhost_msg msg;
  struct vhost_virtqueue *vq;
  struct list_head node;
};

and that's what, 68 bytes in msg, then either 4 bytes pointer or
4 bytes padding + 8 bytes pointer, then two pointers?  How much
does explicit partial memset() save you here?

Yes but 0 isn't a nop here so if this struct is used without
a sensible initialization, it will crash elsewhere.
I prefer KASAN to catch such uses.

IDGI - what would your variant catch that kzalloc + 2 assignments won't?
Accesses to uninitialized ->node?  Because that's the only difference in
what is and is not initialized between those variants...

For now yes but we'll likely add more fields in this structure
down the road, which is where I'd expect new bugs to come from.

[PATCH net] vhost: Use kzalloc() to allocate vhost_msg_node

[Kevin Easton]

The struct vhost_msg within struct vhost_msg_node is copied to userspace,
so it should be allocated with kzalloc() to ensure all structure padding
is zeroed.

Does it help if a patch naming the padding is applied,
and then we init just the relevant field?
Just curious.

I think it's slightly better that way then. node has a lot of internal
stuff we don't care to init. Would you mind taking my patch and building
on top of that then?

But it's asking for more information leaks in future. This looks like
work for compiler.

Modern compilers are perfectly capable of doing this:

#include <memory.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
    int x[10];
    memset(&x, 0, sizeof(x));
    x[0] = 0;
    x[2] = 2;
    x[3] = 3;
    x[4] = 4;
    x[5] = 5;
    x[6] = 6;
    x[7] = 7;
    x[8] = 8;
    x[9] = 9;
    write(0, x, sizeof(x));
    return 0;
}

gcc 7.2 -O3

0000000000000540 <main>:
 540:   sub    $0x38,%rsp
 544:   mov    $0x28,%edx
 549:   xor    %edi,%edi
 54b:   movdqa 0x1cd(%rip),%xmm0        # 720 <_IO_stdin_used+0x10>
 553:   mov    %rsp,%rsi
 556:   movq   $0x0,(%rsp)
 55e:   movups %xmm0,0x8(%rsp)
 563:   movdqa 0x1c5(%rip),%xmm0        # 730 <_IO_stdin_used+0x20>
 56b:   movups %xmm0,0x18(%rsp)
 570:   callq  520 <write@plt>
 575:   xor    %eax,%eax
 577:   add    $0x38,%rsp
 57b:   retq
 57c:   nopl   0x0(%rax)


But they will not put a security hole next time fields are shuffled.

No, I don't believe that is sufficient to fix the problem.

The structure is allocated by kmalloc(), then individual fields are
initialised.  The named adding would be forced to be initialised if
it were initialised with a struct initialiser, but that's not the case.
The compiler is free to leave padding0 with whatever junk kmalloc()
left there.

Having said that, naming the padding *does* help - technically, the
compiler is allowed to put whatever it likes in the padding every time
you modify the struct.  It really needs both.

I didn't name the padding in my original patch because I wasn't sure
if the padding actually exists on 32 bit architectures?

Scratch that, somehow I missed the "..and then we init just the
relevant field" part, sorry.

There's still the padding after the vhost_iotlb_msg to consider.  It's
named in the union but I don't think that's guaranteed to be initialised
when the iotlb member of the union is used to initialise things.

This might still be a concern, too?

At the end of the day, zeroing 96 bytes (the full size of vhost_msg_node)
is pretty quick.

Yes.

print &((struct vhost_msg *)0)->iotlb
$3 = (struct vhost_iotlb_msg *) 0x4

Right, and even if it may be used heavily in the data-path, zeroing is 
not the main delay in that path.

Does it help if a patch naming the padding is applied,
and then we init just the relevant field?
Just curious.

Let's just init the msg though.

OK it seems this is the best we can do for now,
we need a new feature bit to fix it for 32 bit
userspace on 64 bit kernels.

Does the following help?

Let's just init the msg though.

OK it seems this is the best we can do for now,
we need a new feature bit to fix it for 32 bit
userspace on 64 bit kernels.

Does the following help?

Is this patch going anywhere ?

The patch fixes CVE-2018-1118. It would be useful to understand if and when
this problem is going to be fixed.

As I pointed out, we don't need to init the whole structure. The proper
fix is thus (I think) below.

Could you use your testing infrastructure to confirm this fixes the issue?
