Subject: [PATCH v3 24/31] fork: Define usercopy region in mm_struct slab caches
Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2017 13:45:30 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1505940337-79069-25-git-send-email-keescook@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1505940337-79069-1-git-send-email-keescook@chromium.org>
From: David Windsor <dave@nullcore.net>
In support of usercopy hardening, this patch defines a region in the
mm_struct slab caches in which userspace copy operations are allowed.
Only the auxv field is copied to userspace.
cache object allocation:
kernel/fork.c:
#define allocate_mm() (kmem_cache_alloc(mm_cachep, GFP_KERNEL))
dup_mm():
...
mm = allocate_mm();
copy_mm(...):
...
dup_mm();
copy_process(...):
...
copy_mm(...)
_do_fork(...):
...
copy_process(...)
example usage trace:
fs/binfmt_elf.c:
create_elf_tables(...):
...
elf_info = (elf_addr_t *)current->mm->saved_auxv;
...
copy_to_user(..., elf_info, ei_index * sizeof(elf_addr_t))
load_elf_binary(...):
...
create_elf_tables(...);
This region is known as the slab cache's usercopy region. Slab caches can
now check that each copy operation involving cache-managed memory falls
entirely within the slab's usercopy region.
This patch is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's PAX_USERCOPY
whitelisting code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my
understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are
mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
