Message-ID: <2024030249-CVE-2023-52504-ebc5@gregkh> Date: Sat, 2 Mar 2024 22:52:49 +0100 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-cve-announce@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> Subject: CVE-2023-52504: x86/alternatives: Disable KASAN in apply_alternatives() Description =========== In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/alternatives: Disable KASAN in apply_alternatives() Fei has reported that KASAN triggers during apply_alternatives() on a 5-level paging machine: BUG: KASAN: out-of-bounds in rcu_is_watching() Read of size 4 at addr ff110003ee6419a0 by task swapper/0/0 ... __asan_load4() rcu_is_watching() trace_hardirqs_on() text_poke_early() apply_alternatives() ... On machines with 5-level paging, cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_LA57) gets patched. It includes KASAN code, where KASAN_SHADOW_START depends on __VIRTUAL_MASK_SHIFT, which is defined with cpu_feature_enabled(). KASAN gets confused when apply_alternatives() patches the KASAN_SHADOW_START users. A test patch that makes KASAN_SHADOW_START static, by replacing __VIRTUAL_MASK_SHIFT with 56, works around the issue. Fix it for real by disabling KASAN while the kernel is patching alternatives. [ mingo: updated the changelog ] The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-52504 to this issue.

Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3719d3c36aa853d5a2401af9f8d6b116c91ad5ae https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3770c38cd6a60494da29ac2da73ff8156440a2d1 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6788b10620ca6e98575d1e06e72a8974aad7657e https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ecba5afe86f30605eb9dfb7f265a8de0218d4cfc https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5b784489c8158518bf7a466bb3cc045b0fb66b4b https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cd287cc208dfe6bd6da98e7f88e723209242c9b4 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d35652a5fc9944784f6f50a5c979518ff8dacf61
