Subject: [PATCH v6 12/24] x86/module: Avoid breaking W^X while loading modules
Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2019 16:22:51 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190426232303.28381-13-nadav.amit@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190426232303.28381-1-nadav.amit@gmail.com>
From: Nadav Amit <namit@vmware.com>
When modules and BPF filters are loaded, there is a time window in
which some memory is both writable and executable. An attacker that has
already found another vulnerability (e.g., a dangling pointer) might be
able to exploit this behavior to overwrite kernel code. Prevent having
writable executable PTEs in this stage.
In addition, avoiding having W+X mappings can also slightly simplify the
patching of modules code on initialization (e.g., by alternatives and
static-key), as would be done in the next patch. This was actually the
main motivation for this patch.
To avoid having W+X mappings, set them initially as RW (NX) and after
they are set as RO set them as X as well. Setting them as executable is
done as a separate step to avoid one core in which the old PTE is cached
(hence writable), and another which sees the updated PTE (executable),
which would break the W^X protection.
