To me, it seems that the __user annotation can only be an indicator of an issue by chance. We have structures with __user pointers in structs that will never be copied to userspace, and conversely we have structs that don't contain a __user field, but will be copied to userspace. Maybe it happens that structs in more complex systems are more likely to contain some __user pointer. Was that part of the rationale? I wonder if there's any analysis we can do of data passing into copy_to_user() and friends. I guess we can't follow the data flow across compilation units, but we might be able to follow it well enough if we added a new attribute that described whether data was to be copied to userspace.

It's obvious to the compiler too, not just a human. The compiler can optimize it out when it's so clearly not required, although translation units will get in the way without LTO. There's existing sophisticated analysis for automatic initialization with full coverage. That's part of why I think it makes sense to have a toggle for heuristics vs. full coverage (incl. non-function-scope locals, that's just a heuristic too). > > > +/* unused C type flag in all versions 4.5-6 */ > > > +#define TYPE_USERSPACE(TYPE) TYPE_LANG_FLAG_5(TYPE) > > > > FYI, this is a sort of abuse/hack of tree flags and should not be > > implemented this > > way in the upstream kernel as it's a finite resource and needs > > careful verification > > against all supported gcc versions (these flags are meant for > > language fronteds, i > > kinda got lucky to have a few of them unusued but it's not a robust > > future-proof > > approach). instead an attribute should be used to mark these types. > > whether that > > can/should be __user itself is a good question since that's another > > hack where the > > plugin 'hijacks' a sparse address space atttribute (for which gcc > > 4.6+ has its own > > facilities and that the checker gcc plugin makes use of thus it's > > not compatible > > with structleak as is). > > To me, it seems that the __user annotation can only be an indicator of > an issue by chance.

Ok. That being the case, (and given the relevant bug has now been fixed), it's not clear to me what the value of this is today. i.e. given the general case, is this preventing many leaks? > > I wonder if there's any analysis we can do of data passing into > > copy_to_user() and friends.

I'm probably being very naive here, but IIUC the per-task usercopy stack would require roughly the same analysis to identify relevant variables, unless all local variables (regardless of initialisation) that fed into a usercopy would be on the usercopy stack? Regardless, I can see the benefit of cleanly separating that data from the rest of the kernel data. Thanks, Mark. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread

I can rephrase this. I just wanted to give an example. How about: This plugin detects any structures that contain __user attributes and makes sure it is being fulling initialized so that a specific class of information exposure is eliminated. (This plugin was originally designed to block the exposure of siginfo in CVE-2013-2141.) >> +config GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK >> + bool "Force initialization of variables containing userspace addresses" >> + depends on GCC_PLUGINS >> + help >> + This plugin zero-initializes any structures that containing a >> + __user attribute.

I didn't use the "bool" text because it wasn't accurate: bool "Forcibly initialize local variables copied to userland" This implies "all", but it's not, and it has nothing to do with stuff copied to userland. It's just looking a __user, with no examination of copy_to_user() calls. The rest: By saying Y here the kernel will zero initialize some local variables that are going to be copied to userland. This in Like the bool text, this isn't accurate. I can be specific about the "some", but the "copied to userland" just isn't true. turn prevents unintended information leakage from the kernel stack should later code forget to explicitly set all parts of the copied variable. I could reuse this part, sure. I tend to like to use the term "exposure" instead of "leak", though, so at this point I just rewrote the description of the "why". The tradeoff is less performance impact than PAX_MEMORY_STACKLEAK at a much smaller coverage. I left this out because upstream doesn't have STACKLEAK to compare against yet. Note that the implementation requires a gcc with plugin support, i.e., gcc 4.5 or newer. You may need to install the supporting headers explicitly in addition to the normal gcc package. I left this out because it's redundant with the description of CONFIG_GCC_PLUGINS. > your text isn't correct as is because > > - the __user attribute (which is an implementation choice, see below) doesn't > apply to structures but pointers only (as it does for sparse IIRC) > - a structure is a type, but the plugin initializes variables, not types > (the latter makes little sense) > - the plugin doesn't initialize 'any structures' (well, variables), only locals > and only at function scope (subject to further evolution as discussed earlier). Including mention of "__user" in Kconfig help text is already a bit "too technical", so I was trying to be concise. I could easily expand this to "any structure variables with __user pointers in function scope", but it seemed like unneeded details.

It doesn't report that it's missing a constructor. :) This is a pragmatic description of what is happening, and since the plugin does sometimes needlessly insert initializations where none are needed, that really seems like a false positive to me. :) >> +/* unused C type flag in all versions 4.5-6 */ >> +#define TYPE_USERSPACE(TYPE) TYPE_LANG_FLAG_5(TYPE) > > FYI, this is a sort of abuse/hack of tree flags and should not be implemented this > way in the upstream kernel as it's a finite resource and needs careful verification > against all supported gcc versions (these flags are meant for language fronteds, i > kinda got lucky to have a few of them unusued but it's not a robust future-proof > approach). instead an attribute should be used to mark these types. whether that > can/should be __user itself is a good question since that's another hack where the > plugin 'hijacks' a sparse address space atttribute (for which gcc 4.6+ has its own > facilities and that the checker gcc plugin makes use of thus it's not compatible > with structleak as is). Yeah, I wasn't too happy about that lang flag usage either. It seems reasonable to just build an attribute on the fly.

Which version of the C11 spec clarifies this? The one I'm looking at (n1570, Apr 12 2011) says: "6.7.9 21 If there are fewer initializers in a brace-enclosed list than there are elements or members of an aggregate, or fewer characters in a string literal used to initialize an array of known size than there are elements in the array, the remainder of the aggregate shall be initialized implicitly the same as objects that have static storage duration." What is meant by "the remainder of the object" is unclear. Is this just the tail of the object, or all unitialised members -- which may be sparse in the case of an initialiser with designators? And is padding (and if so, which padding) considered to be part of (the remainder of) the object for the purpose of this paragraph? This can be read with the interpretation you suggest, but the wording doesn't seem rock-solid. For the kernel, I guess it's sufficient if GCC commits to this interpretation though. A related, perhaps more interesting issue is that C11 still explicitly states that padding is undefined after assignment: "6.2.6.1 6 When a value is stored in an object of structure or union type, including in a member object, the bytes of the object representation that correspond to any padding bytes take unspecified values. 51)" "51) Thus, for example, structure assignment need not copy any padding bits." which means that in: { struct foo foo1 = FOO1_INTIALIZER; struct foo foo2; foo2 = foo1; } the contents of padding in foo2 is unspecified. Similarly, piecemeal initialisation of an object by assigning to every member leaves the padding unspecified, e.g.: { struct timeval tv; tv.tv_sec = secs; tv.tv_usec = usecs; } (On most or all arches struct timeval contains no padding, but relying implicitly on this is still a bit iffy.) It's highly likely that the kernel passes objects resulting from one of the above to put_user() and friends. It would be good if we had a way to catch at least some of these. (I don't know whether that falls naturally under this plugin.) Cheers ---Dave IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.

Me neither, but actually I think this interpretation doesn't make sense. The implication seems to be that padding initialisation of initialised aggregates with automatic storage is guaranteed _only_ if the initialiser is incomplete. Paragraph 19 always applies, but that only asserts "all subobjects that are not initialized explicitly shall be initialized implicitly the same as objects that have static storage duration" -- no statement about padding. Paragraph 21 guarantees initialisation of padding bytes, but applies _only_ if the initializer list is incomplete. As a random test, a recent-ish gcc might actually apply this interpretation... tst.c ---8<--- struct foo { long x; char y; long z; int w; }; void f(struct foo *); void g(long *x, char *y, long *z, int *w) { struct foo o = { .z = *z, .y = *y, .x = *x, .w = *w }; f(&o); } void h(int *y, long *z) { struct foo o = { .z = *z, .y = *y }; f(&o); } --->8--- $ gcc (Debian 6.3.0-2) 6.3.0 20161229 $ gcc -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -O2 -std=c11 -c tst.c $ objdump -d tst.o tst.o: file format elf64-littleaarch64 Disassembly of section .text: 0000000000000000 <g>: 0: a9bd7bfd stp x29, x30, [sp, #-48]! 4: 910003fd mov x29, sp 8: 39400024 ldrb w4, [x1] c: f9400005 ldr x5, [x0] 10: 910043a0 add x0, x29, #0x10 14: b9400061 ldr w1, [x3] 18: f9400042 ldr x2, [x2] 1c: 390063a4 strb w4, [x29, #24] 20: f9000ba5 str x5, [x29, #16] 24: f90013a2 str x2, [x29, #32] 28: b9002ba1 str w1, [x29, #40] 2c: 94000000 bl 0 <f> 30: a8c37bfd ldp x29, x30, [sp], #48 34: d65f03c0 ret 0000000000000038 <h>: 38: a9bd7bfd stp x29, x30, [sp, #-48]! 3c: 910003fd mov x29, sp 40: b9400002 ldr w2, [x0] 44: 910043a0 add x0, x29, #0x10 48: f9400021 ldr x1, [x1] 4c: a9017fbf stp xzr, xzr, [x29, #16] 50: a9027fbf stp xzr, xzr, [x29, #32] 54: 390063a2 strb w2, [x29, #24] 58: f90013a1 str x1, [x29, #32] 5c: 94000000 bl 0 <f> 60: a8c37bfd ldp x29, x30, [sp], #48 64: d65f03c0 ret In g(), where the initialiser is complete, the padding in o is definitely not zeroed out.

Do you see any false positives here? I would expect a fair number of structures that contain __user pointers but that are never copied wholesale to userspace, but I've not reviewed in detail. I would also expect false negatives to be common -- structures that lack __user pointers but _are_ copied to userspace. But again, if this plugin is not designed to catch these in the first place, this may be best addressed in a different way.

This spawned a whole thread. :) For non-C11, yeah, a plugin to do this would be nice.
