From: Daniel Axtens <dja@xxxxxxxxxx>
When the fortify feature was first introduced in commit 6974f0c4555e
("include/linux/string.h: add the option of fortified string.h functions"),
Daniel Micay observed:
* It should be possible to optionally use __builtin_object_size(x, 1) for
some functions (C strings) to detect intra-object overflows (like
glibc's _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2), but for now this takes the conservative
approach to avoid likely compatibility issues.
This is a case that often cannot be caught by KASAN. Consider:
struct foo {
char a[10];
char b[10];
}
void test() {
char *msg;
struct foo foo;
msg = kmalloc(16, GFP_KERNEL);
strcpy(msg, "Hello world!!");
// this copy overwrites foo.b
strcpy(foo.a, msg);
}
The questionable copy overflows foo.a and writes to foo.b as well. It
cannot be detected by KASAN. Currently it is also not detected by fortify,
because strcpy considers __builtin_object_size(x, 0), which considers the
size of the surrounding object (here, struct foo). However, if we switch
the string functions over to use __builtin_object_size(x, 1), the compiler
will measure the size of the closest surrounding subobject (here, foo.a),
rather than the size of the surrounding object as a whole. See
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Object-Size-Checking.html for more info.
Only do this for string functions: we cannot use it on things like
memcpy, memmove, memcmp and memchr_inv due to code like this which
purposefully operates on multiple structure members:
(arch/x86/kernel/traps.c)
/*
* regs->sp points to the failing IRET frame on the
* ESPFIX64 stack. Copy it to the entry stack. This fills
* in gpregs->ss through gpregs->ip.
*
*/
memmove(&gpregs->ip, (void *)regs->sp, 5*8);
This change passes an allyesconfig on powerpc and x86, and an x86 kernel
built with it survives running with syz-stress from syzkaller, so it seems
safe so far.
