[OPTIONAL/RFC v2 39/39] x86: Add alt shadow stack support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



To handle stack overflows, applications can register a separate signal alt
stack to use for the stack to handle signals. To handle shadow stack
overflows the kernel can similarly provide the ability to have an alt
shadow stack.

Signals push information about the execution context to the stack that
will handle the signal. The data pushed is use to restore registers
and other state after the signal. In the case of handling the signal on
a normal stack, the stack just needs to be unwound over the stack frame,
but in the case of alt stacks, the saved stack pointer is important for
the sigreturn to find it’s way back to the thread. With shadow stack
there is a new type of stack pointer, the shadow stack pointer (SSP), that
needs to be restored. Just like the regular stack pointer, it needs to be
saved somewhere in order to implement shadow alt stacks. This is already
done as part of the token placed to prevent SROP attacks, so on sigreturn
from an alt shadow stack, the kernel can easily know which SSP to restore.

But to enable SS_AUTODISARM like functionality, the kernel also needs to
push the shadow alt stack and size somewhere, like happens in regular
alt stacks. So push this data using the same format. In the end the
shadow stack sigframe looks like this:
|1...old SSP|1...alt stack size|1...alt stack base| 0|

In the future, any other data could come between the alt stack base and
the guard zero. The guard zero is to prevent tricking the kernel into
processing half of one frame and half of the adjacent frame.

In past designs for userspace shadow stacks, shadow alt stacks were not
supported. Since there was only one shadow stack, longjmp() could jump out
of a signal by using incssp to unwind the SSP to the place where the
setjmp() was called. Since alt shadow stacks are a new thing, simply don't
support longjmp()ing from an alt shadow stacks.

Introduce a new syscall "sigaltshstk" that behaves similarly to
sigaltstack. Have it take new and old stack_t's to specify the base and
length of the alt shadow stack. Don't have it adopt the same flag
semantics though, because not all alt stack flags will necessarily apply
to alt shadow stacks. As long as the syscall is getting new flag meanings
make SS_AUTODISARM the default behavior for sigaltshstk(), and not require
a flag. Today the only flag supported is SS_DISABLE, and a !SS_AUTODISARM
mode is not supported.

So when a signal hits it will jump to the location specified in
sigaltshstk(). Currently (without WRSS), userspace doesn’t have the
ability to arbitrarily set the SSP. But telling the kernel to set the
SSP to an arbitrary point on signal is kind of like that. So there would
be a weakening of the shadow stack protections unless additional checks
are made. With the SS_AUTODISARM-style behavior, the SSP will only jump to
the shadow stack if the SSP is not already on the shadow stack, otherwise
it will just push the SSP. So have the kernel checks for a token
whenever transitioning to the alt stack from a place other than the alt
stack. This token can be written by the kernel during shadow stack
allocation, using the map_shadow_stack syscall.
