[RFC/RFT] CFI: Add support for gcc CFI in aarch64

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

 



Based on Sami's patch[1], this patch makes the corresponding kernel
configuration of CFI available when compiling the kernel with the gcc[2].

The code after enabling cfi is as follows:

int (*p)(void);
int func (int)
{
	p();
}

__cfi_func:
        .4byte 0x439d3502
func:
        ......
        adrp    x0, p
        add     x0, x0, :lo12:p
        mov     w1, 23592
        movk    w1, 0x4601, lsl 16
        cmp     w0, w1
        beq     .L2
        ......
        bl      cfi_check_failed
.L2:
        blr     x19
        ret

In the compiler part[4], there are some differences from Sami's
implementation[3], mainly including:

1. When a typeid mismatch is detected, the cfi_check_failed function
   will be called instead of the brk instruction. This function needs
   to be implemented by the compiler user.
   If there are user mode programs or other systems that want to use
   this feature, it may be more convenient to use a callback (so this
   compilation option is set to -fsanitize=cfi instead of kcfi).

2. A reserved typeid (such as 0x0U on the aarch64 platform) is always
   inserted in front of functions that should not be called indirectly.
   Functions that can be called indirectly will not use this hash value,
   which prevents instructions/data before the function from being used
   as a typeid by an attacker.

3. Some bits are ignored in the typeid to avoid conflicts between the
   typeid and the instruction set of a specific platform, thereby
   preventing an attacker from bypassing the CFI check by using the
   instruction as a typeid, such as on the aarch64 platform:
   * If the following instruction sequence exists:
	  400620:       a9be7bfd        stp     x29, x30, [sp, #-32]!
	  400624:       910003fd        mov     x29, sp
	  400628:       f9000bf3        str     x19, [sp, #16]
   * If the expected typeid of the indirect call is exactly 0x910003fd,
     the attacker can jump to the next instruction position of any
     "mov x29,sp" instruction (such as 0x400628 here).

4. Insert a symbol __cfi_<function> before each function's typeid,
   which may be helpful for fine-grained KASLR implementations (or not?).

5. The current implementation of gcc only supports the aarch64 platform.

This produces the following oops on CFI failure (generated using lkdtm):

The gcc-related patches[4] are based on tag: releases/gcc-12.2.0.

Any suggestion please let me know :).

Thanks, Dan.
