[RFC v1 3/4] x86, boot: Implement ASLR for kernel memory sections (x86_64)

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

 



Randomizes the virtual address space of kernel memory sections (physical
memory mapping, vmalloc & vmemmap) for x86_64. This security feature
mitigates exploits relying on predictable kernel addresses. These
addresses can be used to disclose the kernel modules base addresses or
corrupt specific structures to elevate privileges bypassing the current
implementation of KASLR. This feature can be enabled with the
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY option.

The physical memory mapping holds most allocations from boot and heap
allocators. Knowning the base address and physical memory size, an
attacker can deduce the PDE virtual address for the vDSO memory page.
This attack was demonstrated at CanSecWest 2016, in the "Getting
Physical Extreme Abuse of Intel Based Paged Systems"
https://goo.gl/ANpWdV (see second part of the presentation). Similar
research was done at Google leading to this patch proposal. Variants
exists to overwrite /proc or /sys objects ACLs leading to elevation of
privileges.

The vmalloc memory section contains the allocation made through the
vmalloc api. The allocations are done sequentially to prevent
fragmentation and each allocation address can easily be deduced
especially from boot.

The vmemmap section holds a representation of the physical
memory (through a struct page array). An attacker could use this section
to disclose the kernel memory layout (walking the page linked list).

The order of each memory section is not changed. The feature looks at
the available space for the sections based on different configuration
options and randomizes the base and space between each. The size of the
physical memory mapping is the available physical memory. No performance
impact was detected while testing the feature.

Entropy is generated using the KASLR early boot functions now shared in
the lib directory (originally written by Kees Cook). Randomization is
done on PGD & PUD page table levels to increase possible addresses. The
physical memory mapping code was adapted to support PUD level virtual
addresses. An additional low memory page is used to ensure each CPU can
start with a PGD aligned virtual address (for realmode).

x86/dump_pagetable was updated to correctly display each section.

Updated documentation on x86_64 memory layout accordingly.
