From 9c988962c4d7ff230fbf83c601d8aaa5eaf0c990 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2016 14:03:45 +0100 Subject: KEYS: Fix short sprintf buffer in /proc/keys show function Fix a short sprintf buffer in proc_keys_show(). If the gcc stack protector is turned on, this can cause a panic due to stack corruption. The problem is that xbuf[] is not big enough to hold a 64-bit timeout rendered as weeks: (gdb) p 0xffffffffffffffffULL/(60*60*24*7) $2 = 30500568904943 That's 14 chars plus NUL, not 11 chars plus NUL. Expand the buffer to 16 chars. I think the unpatched code apparently works if the stack-protector is not enabled because on a 32-bit machine the buffer won't be overflowed and on a 64-bit machine there's a 64-bit aligned pointer at one side and an int that isn't checked again on the other side. The panic incurred looks something like: Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffffff81352ebe CPU: 0 PID: 1692 Comm: reproducer Not tainted 4.7.2-201.fc24.x86_64 #1 Hardware name: Red Hat KVM, BIOS 0.5.1 01/01/2011 0000000000000086 00000000fbbd2679 ffff8800a044bc00 ffffffff813d941f ffffffff81a28d58 ffff8800a044bc98 ffff8800a044bc88 ffffffff811b2cb6 ffff880000000010 ffff8800a044bc98 ffff8800a044bc30 00000000fbbd2679 Call Trace: [] dump_stack+0x63/0x84 [] panic+0xde/0x22a [] ? proc_keys_show+0x3ce/0x3d0 [] __stack_chk_fail+0x19/0x30 [] proc_keys_show+0x3ce/0x3d0 [] ? key_validate+0x50/0x50 [] ? key_default_cmp+0x20/0x20 [] seq_read+0x2cc/0x390 [] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70 [] __vfs_read+0x37/0x150 [] ? security_file_permission+0xa0/0xc0 [] vfs_read+0x96/0x130 [] SyS_read+0x55/0xc0 [] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1a/0xa4 Change-Id: I0787d5a38c730ecb75d3c08f28f0ab36295d59e7 Reported-by: Ondrej Kozina Signed-off-by: David Howells Tested-by: Ondrej Kozina --- security/keys/proc.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/security/keys/proc.c b/security/keys/proc.c index 49bbc97..3f7b410 100644 --- a/security/keys/proc.c +++ b/security/keys/proc.c @@ -188,7 +188,7 @@ static int proc_keys_show(struct seq_file *m, void *v) struct timespec now; unsigned long timo; key_ref_t key_ref, skey_ref; - char xbuf[12]; + char xbuf[16]; int rc; key_ref = make_key_ref(key, 0); -- cgit v1.1
