An out of bounds read can occur within the tracepoint 9p_protocol_dump. In
the fast assign, there is a memcpy that uses a constant size of 32 (macro
named P9_PROTO_DUMP_SZ). When the copy is invoked, the source buffer is not
guaranteed match this size. It was found that in some cases the source
buffer size is less than 32, resulting in a read that overruns.
The size of the source buffer seems to be known at the time of the
tracepoint being invoked. The allocations happen within p9_fcall_init(),
where the capacity field is set to the allocated size of the payload
buffer. This patch tries to fix the overrun by changing the fixed array to
a dynamically sized array and using the minimum of the capacity value or
P9_PROTO_DUMP_SZ as its length. The trace log statement is adjusted to
account for this. Note that the trace log no longer splits the payload on
the first 16 bytes. The full payload is now logged to a single line.
To repro the orignal problem, operations to a plan 9 managed resource can
be used. The simplest approach might just be mounting a shared filesystem
(between host and guest vm) using the plan 9 protocol while the tracepoint
is enabled.
mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio <mount_tag> <mount_path>
The bpftrace program below can be used to show the out of bounds read.
Note that a recent version of bpftrace is needed for the raw tracepoint
support. The script was tested using v0.19.0.
/* from include/net/9p/9p.h */
struct p9_fcall {
u32 size;
u8 id;
u16 tag;
size_t offset;
size_t capacity;
struct kmem_cache *cache;
u8 *sdata;
bool zc;
};
tracepoint:9p:9p_protocol_dump
{
/* out of bounds read can happen when this tracepoint is enabled */
}
rawtracepoint:9p_protocol_dump
{
$pdu = (struct p9_fcall *)arg1;
$dump_sz = (uint64)32;
if ($dump_sz > $pdu->capacity) {
printf("reading %zu bytes from src buffer of %zu bytes\n",
$dump_sz, $pdu->capacity);
}
}
