When running on a system with >512MB RAM with a 32-bit kernel built with: CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y all execve()s will fail due to argv copying into kmap()ed pages, and on usercopy checking the calls ultimately of virt_to_page() will be looking for "bad" kmap (highmem) pointers due to CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at ../arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:83! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.3.0-rc8 #6 Hardware name: Dell Inc. Inspiron 1318/0C236D, BIOS A04 01/15/2009 EIP: __phys_addr+0xaf/0x100 ...

Without CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y, these pages are effectively ignored, so now we do the same explicitly: detect and ignore kmap pages, instead of tripping over the check later.

I would expect the results to be identical (i.e. my testing shows it works), but I didn't want to assume. :) --- include/linux/highmem.h | 7 +++++++ mm/highmem.c | 2 +- mm/usercopy.c | 3 ++- 3 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/highmem.h b/include/linux/highmem.h index ea5cdbd8c2c3..c881698b8023 100644 --- a/include/linux/highmem.h +++ b/include/linux/highmem.h @@ -64,12 +64,19 @@ static inline void totalhigh_pages_set(long val) void kmap_flush_unused(void); +static inline bool is_kmap(unsigned long addr) +{ + return (addr >= PKMAP_ADDR(0) && addr < PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP)); +} + struct page *kmap_to_page(void *addr); #else /* CONFIG_HIGHMEM */ static inline unsigned int nr_free_highpages(void) { return 0; } +static inline bool is_kmap(unsigned long addr) { return false; } + static inline struct page *kmap_to_page(void *addr) { return virt_to_page(addr); diff --git a/mm/highmem.c b/mm/highmem.c index 107b10f9878e..e99eca4f63fa 100644 --- a/mm/highmem.c +++ b/mm/highmem.c @@ -151,7 +151,7 @@ struct page *kmap_to_page(void *vaddr) { unsigned long addr = (unsigned long)vaddr; - if (addr >= PKMAP_ADDR(0) && addr < PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP)) { + if (is_kmap(addr)) { int i = PKMAP_NR(addr); return pte_page(pkmap_page_table[i]); } diff --git a/mm/usercopy.c b/mm/usercopy.c index 98e924864554..924e634cc95d 100644 --- a/mm/usercopy.c +++ b/mm/usercopy.c @@ -11,6 +11,7 @@ #define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt #include <linux/mm.h> +#include <linux/highmem.h> #include <linux/slab.h> #include <linux/sched.h> #include <linux/sched/task.h> @@ -224,7 +225,7 @@ static inline void check_heap_object(const void *ptr, unsigned long n, { struct page *page; - if (!virt_addr_valid(ptr)) + if (!virt_addr_valid(ptr) || is_kmap((unsigned long)ptr)) return; page = virt_to_head_page(ptr); -- 2.17.1 -- Kees Cook
