Register range information is copied in several places. The intent is
to transfer range/id information from one register/stack spill to
another. Currently this is done using direct register assignment, e.g.:
static void find_equal_scalars(..., struct bpf_reg_state *known_reg)
{
...
struct bpf_reg_state *reg;
...
*reg = *known_reg;
...
}
However, such assignments also copy the following bpf_reg_state fields:
struct bpf_reg_state {
...
struct bpf_reg_state *parent;
...
enum bpf_reg_liveness live;
...
};
Copying of these fields is accidental and incorrect, as could be
demonstrated by the following example:
0: call ktime_get_ns()
1: r6 = r0
2: call ktime_get_ns()
3: r7 = r0
4: if r0 > r6 goto +1 ; r0 & r6 are unbound thus generated
; branch states are identical
5: *(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = 0xdeadbeef ; 64-bit write to fp[-8]
--- checkpoint ---
6: r1 = 42 ; r1 marked as written
7: *(u8 *)(r10 - 8) = r1 ; 8-bit write, fp[-8] parent & live
; overwritten
8: r2 = *(u64 *)(r10 - 8)
9: r0 = 0
10: exit
This example is unsafe because 64-bit write to fp[-8] at (5) is
conditional, thus not all bytes of fp[-8] are guaranteed to be set
when it is read at (8). However, currently the example passes
verification.
First, the execution path 1-10 is examined by verifier.
Suppose that a new checkpoint is created by is_state_visited() at (6).
After checkpoint creation:
- r1.parent points to checkpoint.r1,
- fp[-8].parent points to checkpoint.fp[-8].
At (6) the r1.live is set to REG_LIVE_WRITTEN.
At (7) the fp[-8].parent is set to r1.parent and fp[-8].live is set to
REG_LIVE_WRITTEN, because of the following code called in
check_stack_write_fixed_off():
static void save_register_state(struct bpf_func_state *state,
int spi, struct bpf_reg_state *reg,
int size)
{
...
state->stack[spi].spilled_ptr = *reg; // <--- parent & live copied
if (size == BPF_REG_SIZE)
state->stack[spi].spilled_ptr.live |= REG_LIVE_WRITTEN;
...
}
Note the intent to mark stack spill as written only if 8 bytes are
spilled to a slot, however this intent is spoiled by a 'live' field copy.
At (8) the checkpoint.fp[-8] should be marked as REG_LIVE_READ but
this does not happen:
- fp[-8] in a current state is already marked as REG_LIVE_WRITTEN;
- fp[-8].parent points to checkpoint.r1, parentage chain is used by
mark_reg_read() to mark checkpoint states.
At (10) the verification is finished for path 1-10 and jump 4-6 is
examined. The checkpoint.fp[-8] never gets REG_LIVE_READ mark and this
spill is pruned from the cached states by clean_live_states(). Hence
verifier state obtained via path 1-4,6 is deemed identical to one
obtained via path 1-6 and program marked as safe.
Note: the example should be executed with BPF_F_TEST_STATE_FREQ flag
set to force creation of intermediate verifier states.
This commit revisits the locations where bpf_reg_state instances are
copied and replaces the direct copies with a call to a function
copy_register_state(dst, src) that preserves 'parent' and 'live'
fields of the 'dst'.
