This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled kprobes: Limit max data_size of the kretprobe instances to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kprobes-limit-max-data_size-of-the-kretprobe-instances.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 6bbfa44116689469267f1a6e3d233b52114139d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2021 23:45:50 +0900 Subject: kprobes: Limit max data_size of the kretprobe instances From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 6bbfa44116689469267f1a6e3d233b52114139d2 upstream. The 'kprobe::data_size' is unsigned, thus it can not be negative. But if user sets it enough big number (e.g. (size_t)-8), the result of 'data_size + sizeof(struct kretprobe_instance)' becomes smaller than sizeof(struct kretprobe_instance) or zero. In result, the kretprobe_instance are allocated without enough memory, and kretprobe accesses outside of allocated memory. To avoid this issue, introduce a max limitation of the kretprobe::data_size. 4KB per instance should be OK.
