Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next] x86: bpf_jit_comp: secure bpf jit against spraying
attacks
Hi Eric,
Peter talked to me about this BPF work to prevent JIT spraying attacks
in the beginning of this week and I took a look at your patch.
Some comments:
* Meta-comment about patch structure: why this was a one patch and not
two patches? It changes two things that are orthogonal to each other
(random offset, RW -> RO change).
* Should NX bit be turned on while JIT code is being prepared?
* How hard it would be to read value of bpf_func pointer? If attacker
is able to read that, it would compromise the whole randomization
scheme.
* I loved the socket creation trick in the blog post :) Are there any
plans to do something about it?
* How was minimum entropy of 128 bytes chose? The patch description
does not explain this in anyway although it seems like decent choice.
