CVE-2023-52676

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Guard stack limits against 32bit overflow This patch promotes the arithmetic around checking stack bounds to be done in the 64-bit domain, instead of the current 32bit. The arithmetic implies adding together a 64-bit register with a int offset. The register was checked to be below 1<<29 when it was variable, but not when it was fixed. The offset either comes from an instruction (in which case it is 16 bit), from another register (in which case the caller checked it to be below 1<<29 [1]), or from the size of an argument to a kfunc (in which case it can be a u32 [2]). Between the register being inconsistently checked to be below 1<<29, and the offset being up to an u32, it appears that we were open to overflowing the `int`s which were currently used for arithmetic.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: bpf: Proteger los límites de la pila contra el desbordamiento de 32 bits. Este parche promueve que la aritmética en torno a la verificación de los límites de la pila se realice en el dominio de 64 bits, en lugar del actual de 32 bits. La aritmética implica sumar un registro de 64 bits con un desplazamiento int. Se comprobó que el registro estaba por debajo de 1&lt;&lt;29 cuando era variable, pero no cuando estaba arreglado. El desplazamiento proviene de una instrucción (en cuyo caso es de 16 bits), de otro registro (en cuyo caso la persona que llama comprobó que estaba por debajo de 1&lt;&lt;29 [1]) o del tamaño de un argumento para kfunc. (en cuyo caso puede ser un u32 [2]). Entre que el registro se verificaba de manera inconsistente para que estuviera por debajo de 1&lt;&lt;29 y el desplazamiento era de hasta u32, parece que estábamos abiertos a desbordar los "int" que se usaban actualmente para la aritmética.
