Hi all,
syzbot has reported [1] a global out-of-bounds read issue in
fbcon_get_font(). A malicious user may resize `vc_font.height` to a large
value in vt_ioctl(), causing fbcon_get_font() to overflow our built-in
font data buffers, declared in lib/fonts/font_*.c:
(e.g. lib/fonts/font_8x8.c)
#define FONTDATAMAX 2048
static const unsigned char fontdata_8x8[FONTDATAMAX] = {
/* 0 0x00 '^@' */
0x00, /* 00000000 */
0x00, /* 00000000 */
0x00, /* 00000000 */
0x00, /* 00000000 */
0x00, /* 00000000 */
0x00, /* 00000000 */
0x00, /* 00000000 */
0x00, /* 00000000 */
[...]
In order to perform a reliable range check, fbcon_get_font() needs to know
`FONTDATAMAX` for each built-in font under lib/fonts/. Unfortunately, we
do not keep that information in our font descriptor,
`struct console_font`:
(include/uapi/linux/kd.h)
struct console_font {
unsigned int width, height; /* font size */
unsigned int charcount;
unsigned char *data; /* font data with height fixed to 32 */
};
To make things worse, `struct console_font` is part of the UAPI, so we
cannot add a new field to keep track of `FONTDATAMAX`.
Fortunately, the framebuffer layer itself gives us a hint of how to
resolve this issue without changing UAPI. When allocating a buffer for a
user-provided font, fbcon_set_font() reserves four "extra words" at the
beginning of the buffer:
(drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c)
new_data = kmalloc(FONT_EXTRA_WORDS * sizeof(int) + size, GFP_USER);
[...]
new_data += FONT_EXTRA_WORDS * sizeof(int);
FNTSIZE(new_data) = size;
FNTCHARCNT(new_data) = charcount;
REFCOUNT(new_data) = 0; /* usage counter */
[...]
FNTSUM(new_data) = csum;
Later, to get the size of a data buffer, the framebuffer layer simply
calls FNTSIZE() on it:
(drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.h)
/* Font */
#define REFCOUNT(fd) (((int *)(fd))[-1])
#define FNTSIZE(fd) (((int *)(fd))[-2])
#define FNTCHARCNT(fd) (((int *)(fd))[-3])
#define FNTSUM(fd) (((int *)(fd))[-4])
#define FONT_EXTRA_WORDS 4
Currently, this is only done for user-provided fonts. Let us do the same
thing for built-in fonts, prepend these "extra words" (including
`FONTDATAMAX`) to their data buffers, so that other subsystems, like the
framebuffer layer, can use these macros on all fonts, no matter built-in
or user-provided. As an example, this series fixes the syzbot issue in
fbcon_get_font():
(drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c)
if (font->width <= 8) {
j = vc->vc_font.height;
+ if (font->charcount * j > FNTSIZE(fontdata))
+ return -EINVAL;
[...]
Similarly, newport_con also use these macros. It only uses three of them:
(drivers/video/console/newport_con.c)
/* borrowed from fbcon.c */
#define REFCOUNT(fd) (((int *)(fd))[-1])
#define FNTSIZE(fd) (((int *)(fd))[-2])
#define FNTCHARCNT(fd) (((int *)(fd))[-3])
#define FONT_EXTRA_WORDS 3
To keep things simple, move all these macro definitions to <linux/font.h>,
use four words instead of three, and initialize the fourth word in
newport_set_font() properly.
