[PATCH] bpf: explicitly memset the bpf_attr structure

[PATCH] bpf: explicitly memset the bpf_attr structure

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

For the bpf syscall, we are relying on the compiler to properly zero out
the bpf_attr union that we copy userspace data into.  Unfortunately that
doesn't always work properly, padding and other oddities might not be
correctly zeroed, and in some tests odd things have been found when the
stack is pre-initialized to other values.

Fix this by explicitly memsetting the structure to 0 before using it.

Maybe add more contexts about the failure itself so it could be clear
why we need this patch.

As far as I know from the link below, the failure happens in
CHECK_ATTR() which checks any unused *area* for a particular subcommand
must be 0, and this patch tries to provide this guarantee beyond
area beyond min(uattr_size, sizeof(attr)).

Thanks for the fix, there are a few more of these places. We would also need
to cover:

- bpf_prog_get_info_by_fd()
- bpf_map_get_info_by_fd()
- btf_get_info_by_fd()

Please add these as well to your fix.

Not sure whether in these places existing approach will cause
kernel failure or not. They did not call CHECK_ATTR, e.g.,
for bpf_prog_info structure.

Unless I am mistaken, struct bpf_prog_info is packed fully, with no
holes, so this shouldn't be an issue there.

> - bpf_map_get_info_by_fd()

No padding in struct bpf_map_info that I can see, so I doubt this is
needed there.

> - btf_get_info_by_fd()

There is no padding in struct bpf_btf_info, so that's not needed there,
but I can add it if you really want.

I can change these, but I don't think that there currently is a bug in
those functions, unlike with "union bpf_attr" which, as Yonghong points
out, is tripping on the CHECK_ATTR() test later on.

I didn't have the full details, I think Maciej has them though.

That macro also will get tripped up if padding is not zeroed out as
well, so this is good to fix up.

thanks for the review.

It does have a '/* XXX 31 bits hole, try to pack */' but I presume the compiler
might simply zero it in this case.

Got it, my main concern is that the next time someone extends these fields with
new members we could potentially add holes in there as well and we'll run into
the same issue twice, example from the past is b85fab0e67b1 ("bpf: Add gpl_compatible
flag to struct bpf_prog_info").

Fair enough, I'll make a second patch for this, as there's no known
issue today with those initializations that need to be backported to the
stable tree :)

[PATCH] bpf: explicitly memset some bpf info structures declared on the stack

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

Trying to initialize a structure with "= {};" will not always clean out
all padding locations in a structure.  So be explicit and call memset to
initialize everything for a number of bpf information structures that
are then copied from userspace, sometimes from smaller memory locations
than the size of the structure.
