From 64620e0a1e712a778095bd35cbb277dc2259281f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann daniel@iogearbox.net Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2022 14:43:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Fix out of bounds access for ringbuf helpers
Both bpf_ringbuf_submit() and bpf_ringbuf_discard() have ARG_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM in their bpf_func_proto definition as their first argument. They both expect the result from a prior bpf_ringbuf_reserve() call which has a return type of RET_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM_OR_NULL.
Meaning, after a NULL check in the code, the verifier will promote the register type in the non-NULL branch to a PTR_TO_MEM and in the NULL branch to a known zero scalar. Generally, pointer arithmetic on PTR_TO_MEM is allowed, so the latter could have an offset.
The ARG_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM expects a PTR_TO_MEM register type. However, the non- zero result from bpf_ringbuf_reserve() must be fed into either bpf_ringbuf_submit() or bpf_ringbuf_discard() but with the original offset given it will then read out the struct bpf_ringbuf_hdr mapping.
The verifier missed to enforce a zero offset, so that out of bounds access can be triggered which could be used to escalate privileges if unprivileged BPF was enabled (disabled by default in kernel).
