For a kernel thread, childregs->gp is never used since\nthe kernel gp is not touched by switch_to. For a user mode helper, the\ngp value can be observed in user space after execve or possibly by other\nmeans.\n\n[From the email thread]\n\nThe /* Kernel thread */ comment is somewhat inaccurate in that it is also used\nfor user_mode_helper threads, which exec a user process, e.g. /sbin/init or\nwhen /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern is a pipe. Such threads do not have\nPF_KTHREAD set and are valid targets for ptrace etc. even before they exec.\n\nchildregs is the *user* context during syscall execution and it is observable\nfrom userspace in at least five ways:\n\n1. kernel_execve does not currently clear integer registers, so the starting\n register state for PID 1 and other user processes started by the kernel has\n sp = user stack, gp = kernel __global_pointer$, all other integer registers\n zeroed by the memset in the patch comment.\n\n This is a bug in its own right, but I'm unwilling to bet that it is the only\n way to exploit the issue addressed by this patch.\n\n2. ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET): you can PTRACE_ATTACH to a user_mode_helper thread\n before it execs, but ptrace requires SIGSTOP to be delivered which can only\n happen at user/kernel boundaries.\n\n3. /proc/*/task/*/syscall: this is perfectly happy to read pt_regs for\n user_mode_helpers before the exec completes, but gp is not one of the\n registers it returns.\n\n4. PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER: LOCKDOWN_PERF normally prevents access to kernel\n addresses via PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR, but due to this bug kernel addresses\n are also exposed via PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER which is permitted under\n LOCKDOWN_PERF. I have not attempted to write exploit code.\n\n5. Much of the tracing infrastructure allows access to user registers. I have\n not attempted to determine which forms of tracing allow access to user\n registers without already allowing access to kernel registers." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor":
