Most callers of put_cmsg() use a "sizeof(foo)" for the length argument. Within put_cmsg(), a copy_to_user() call is made with a dynamic size, as a result of the cmsg header calculations. This means that hardened usercopy will examine the copy, even though it was technically a fixed size and should be implicitly whitelisted. All the put_cmsg() calls being built from values in skbuff_head_cache are coming out of the protocol-defined "cb" field, so whitelist this field entirely instead of creating per-use bounce buffers, for which there are concerns about performance. Original report was: Bad or missing usercopy whitelist? Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLAB object 'skbuff_head_cache' (offset 64, size 16)!

Splitting put_cmsg() was awful. So, instead, whitelist the "cb" field as the least bad option if bounce buffers are unacceptable. Dave, do you want to take this through net, or should I take it through the usercopy tree? --- net/core/skbuff.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/core/skbuff.c b/net/core/skbuff.c index 6b0ff396fa9d..201b96c8f414 100644 --- a/net/core/skbuff.c +++ b/net/core/skbuff.c @@ -3889,10 +3889,12 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(skb_gro_receive); void __init skb_init(void) { - skbuff_head_cache = kmem_cache_create("skbuff_head_cache", + skbuff_head_cache = kmem_cache_create_usercopy("skbuff_head_cache", sizeof(struct sk_buff), 0, SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN|SLAB_PANIC, + offsetof(struct sk_buff, cb), + sizeof_field(struct sk_buff, cb), NULL); skbuff_fclone_cache = kmem_cache_create("skbuff_fclone_cache", sizeof(struct sk_buff_fclones), -- 2.7.4 -- Kees Cook Pixel Security -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
