CVE-2024-57982

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: state: fix out-of-bounds read during lookup lookup and resize can run in parallel. The xfrm_state_hash_generation seqlock ensures a retry, but the hash functions can observe a hmask value that is too large for the new hlist array. rehash does: rcu_assign_pointer(net->xfrm.state_bydst, ndst) [..] net->xfrm.state_hmask = nhashmask; While state lookup does: h = xfrm_dst_hash(net, daddr, saddr, tmpl->reqid, encap_family); hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(x, net->xfrm.state_bydst + h, bydst) { This is only safe in case the update to state_bydst is larger than net->xfrm.xfrm_state_hmask (or if the lookup function gets serialized via state spinlock again). Fix this by prefetching state_hmask and the associated pointers. The xfrm_state_hash_generation seqlock retry will ensure that the pointer and the hmask will be consistent. The existing helpers, like xfrm_dst_hash(), are now unsafe for RCU side, add lockdep assertions to document that they are only safe for insert side. xfrm_state_lookup_byaddr() uses the spinlock rather than RCU. AFAICS this is an oversight from back when state lookup was converted to RCU, this lock should be replaced with RCU in a future patch.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: xfrm: state: fix out-of-limits read during lookup lookup and resize can run in parallel. El xfrm_state_hash_generation seqlock ensures a retry, but the hash functions can observe a hmask value that is too large for the new hlist array. rehash does: rcu_assign_pointer(net->xfrm.state_bydst, ndst) [..] net->xfrm.state_hmask = nhashmask; While state lookup does: h = xfrm_dst_hash(net, daddr, saddr, tmpl->reqid, encap_family); hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(x, net->xfrm.state_bydst + h, bydst) { This is only safe in case the update to state_bydst is larger than net->xfrm.xfrm_state_hmask (or if the lookup function gets serialized via state spinlock again). Solucione esto al precargar state_hmask y los punteros asociados. El reintento de seqlock xfrm_state_hash_generation asegurará que el puntero y el hmask sean consistentes. Los ayudantes existentes, como xfrm_dst_hash(), ahora no son seguros para el lado de RCU, agregue afirmaciones lockdep para documentar que solo son seguros para el lado de inserción. xfrm_state_lookup_byaddr() usa el bloqueo giratorio en lugar de RCU. AFAICS esto es un descuido de cuando la búsqueda de estado se convirtió a RCU, este bloqueo debe reemplazarse con RCU en un parche futuro.
