That means on 32-bit kernels each FPR occupies two # word-sized locations in the USER area. On 64-bit kernels each FPR # occupies one word-sized location in the USER area. # # Internally the kernel stores the FPRs in an array of u64s, or if VSX is # enabled, an array of pairs of u64s where one half of each pair stores # the FPR. Which half of the pair stores the FPR depends on the kernel's # endianness. # # To handle the different layouts of the FPRs depending on VSX/no-VSX and # big/little endian, the TS_FPR() macro was introduced. # # Unfortunately the TS_FPR() macro does not take into account the fact # that the addressing of each FPR differs between 32-bit and 64-bit # kernels. It just takes the index into the "USER area" passed from # userspace and indexes into the fp_state.fpr array. # # On 32-bit there are 64 indexes that address FPRs, but only 32 entries in # the fp_state.fpr array, meaning the user can read/write 256 bytes past # the end of the array. Because the fp_state sits in the middle of the # thread_struct there are various fields than can be overwritten, # including some pointers. As such it may be exploitable. # # It has also been observed to cause systems to hang or otherwise # misbehave when using gdbserver, and is probably the root cause of this # report which could not be easily reproduced: # https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/dc38afe9-6b78-f3f5-666b-986939e40fc6@keymile.com/ # # Rather than trying to make the TS_FPR() macro even more complicated to # fix the bug, or add more macros, instead add a special-case for 32-bit # kernels. This is more obvious and hopefully avoids a similar bug # happening again in future. # # Note that because 32-bit kernels never have VSX enabled the code doesn't # need to consider TS_FPRWIDTH/OFFSET at all. Add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to # ensure that 32-bit && VSX is never enabled. # # Fixes: 87fec0514f61 ("powerpc: PTRACE_PEEKUSR/PTRACE_POKEUSER of FPR registers in little endian builds") # Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.13+ # Reported-by: Ariel Miculas <ariel.miculas@belden.com> # Tested-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> # Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220609133245.573565-1-mpe@ellerman.id.au # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 8e1278444446fc97778a5e5c99bca1ce0bbc5ec9 # < make -s -j 32 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_pseries_le_defconfig+NO_SPLPAR_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- pseries_le_defconfig # Added to kconfig CONFIG_PPC_SPLPAR=n # < make -s -j 32 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_pseries_le_defconfig+NO_SPLPAR_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- help # make -s -j 32 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_pseries_le_defconfig+NO_SPLPAR_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 32 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_pseries_le_defconfig+NO_SPLPAR_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_pseries_le_defconfig+NO_SPLPAR_powerpc-gcc5 # Build took: 0:03:45.556503
