CVE-2024-35877

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/mm/pat: fix VM_PAT handling in COW mappings PAT handling won't do the right thing in COW mappings: the first PTE (or, in fact, all PTEs) can be replaced during write faults to point at anon folios. Reliably recovering the correct PFN and cachemode using follow_phys() from PTEs will not work in COW mappings. Using follow_phys(), we might just get the address+protection of the anon folio (which is very wrong), or fail on swap/nonswap entries, failing follow_phys() and triggering a WARN_ON_ONCE() in untrack_pfn() and track_pfn_copy(), not properly calling free_pfn_range(). In free_pfn_range(), we either wouldn't call memtype_free() or would call it with the wrong range, possibly leaking memory. To fix that, let's update follow_phys() to refuse returning anon folios, and fallback to using the stored PFN inside vma->vm_pgoff for COW mappings if we run into that. We will now properly handle untrack_pfn() with COW mappings, where we don't need the cachemode. We'll have to fail fork()->track_pfn_copy() if the first page was replaced by an anon folio, though: we'd have to store the cachemode in the VMA to make this work, likely growing the VMA size. For now, lets keep it simple and let track_pfn_copy() just fail in that case: it would have failed in the past with swap/nonswap entries already, and it would have done the wrong thing with anon folios. Simple reproducer to trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in untrack_pfn(): <--- C reproducer ---> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <liburing.h> int main(void) { struct io_uring_params p = {}; int ring_fd; size_t size; char *map; ring_fd = io_uring_setup(1, &p); if (ring_fd < 0) { perror("io_uring_setup"); return 1; } size = p.sq_off.array + p.sq_entries * sizeof(unsigned); /* Map the submission queue ring MAP_PRIVATE */ map = mmap(0, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, ring_fd, IORING_OFF_SQ_RING); if (map == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); return 1; } /* We have at least one page.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: x86/mm/pat: corrige el manejo de VM_PAT en asignaciones COW El manejo de PAT no funcionará correctamente en las asignaciones COW: la primera PTE (o, de hecho, todas las PTE) pueden ser reemplazado durante fallos de escritura para señalar folios anónimos. Recuperar de manera confiable el PFN y el modo de caché correctos usando follow_phys() de las PTE no funcionará en las asignaciones COW. Usando follow_phys(), podríamos obtener la dirección+protección de la publicación anónima (lo cual es muy incorrecto), o fallar en las entradas de intercambio/no intercambio, fallando en follow_phys() y activando un WARN_ON_ONCE() en untrack_pfn() y track_pfn_copy() , no llamando correctamente a free_pfn_range(). En free_pfn_range(), no llamaríamos a memtype_free() o lo llamaríamos con el rango incorrecto, posiblemente perdiendo memoria. Para solucionarlo, actualicemos follow_phys() para rechazar la devolución de publicaciones anónimas y recurramos al uso del PFN almacenado dentro de vma-&gt;vm_pgoff para asignaciones COW si nos encontramos con eso. Ahora manejaremos adecuadamente untrack_pfn() con asignaciones COW, donde no necesitamos el modo caché. Sin embargo, tendremos que fallar fork()-&gt;track_pfn_copy() si la primera página fue reemplazada por una publicación anónima: tendríamos que almacenar el modo de caché en el VMA para que esto funcione, probablemente aumentando el tamaño del VMA. Por ahora, mantengámoslo simple y dejemos que track_pfn_copy() simplemente falle en ese caso: ya habría fallado en el pasado con entradas de intercambio/no intercambio, y habría hecho algo incorrecto con folios anónimos. Reproductor simple para activar WARN_ON_ONCE() en untrack_pfn(): &lt;--- Reproductor C ---&gt; #include #include #include #include int main(void) { struct io_uring_params p = {}; int anillo_fd; tamaño_t tamaño; carbón *mapa; ring_fd = io_uring_setup(1, &amp;p); if (ring_fd &lt; 0) { perror("io_uring_setup"); devolver 1; } tamaño = p.sq_off.array + p.sq_entries * tamaño de (sin firmar); /* Asigna el anillo de cola de envío MAP_PRIVATE */ map = mmap(0, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, ring_fd, IORING_OFF_SQ_RING); if (mapa == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); devolver 1; } /* Tenemos al menos una página.
