Message-ID: <2024102105-CVE-2024-47728-824a@gregkh> Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2024 14:16:07 +0200 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-cve-announce@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> Subject: CVE-2024-47728: bpf: Zero former ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} args in case of error Description =========== In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Zero former ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} args in case of error For all non-tracing helpers which formerly had ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} as input arguments, zero the value for the case of an error as otherwise it could leak memory. For tracing, it is not needed given CAP_PERFMON can already read all kernel memory anyway hence bpf_get_func_arg() and bpf_get_func_ret() is skipped in here. Also, the MTU helpers mtu_len pointer value is being written but also read. Technically, the MEM_UNINIT should not be there in order to always force init. Removing MEM_UNINIT needs more verifier rework though: MEM_UNINIT right now implies two things actually: i) write into memory, ii) memory does not have to be initialized. If we lift MEM_UNINIT, it then becomes: i) read into memory, ii) memory must be initialized. This means that for bpf_*_check_mtu() we're readding the issue we're trying to fix, that is, it would then be able to write back into things like .rodata BPF maps. Follow-up work will rework the MEM_UNINIT semantics such that the intent can be better expressed. For now just clear the *mtu_len on error path which can be lifted later again. The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-47728 to this issue. Affected and fixed versions =========================== Issue introduced in 5.2 with commit d7a4cb9b6705 and fixed in 6.1.113 with commit 8397bf78988f Issue introduced in 5.2 with commit d7a4cb9b6705 and fixed in 6.6.54 with commit a634fa8e480a Issue introduced in 5.2 with commit d7a4cb9b6705 and fixed in 6.10.13 with commit 599d15b6d033 Issue introduced in 5.2 with commit d7a4cb9b6705 and fixed in 6.11.2 with commit 594a9f5a8d2d Issue introduced in 5.2 with commit d7a4cb9b6705 and fixed in 6.12-rc1 with commit 4b3786a6c539 Please see https://www.kernel.org for a full list of currently supported kernel versions by the kernel community. Unaffected versions might change over time as fixes are backported to older supported kernel versions. The official CVE entry at https://cve.org/CVERecord/?id=CVE-2024-47728 will be updated if fixes are backported, please check that for the most up to date information about this issue. Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: kernel/bpf/helpers.c kernel/bpf/syscall.c net/core/filter.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/8397bf78988f3ae9dbebb0200189a62a57264980 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a634fa8e480ac2423f86311a602f6295df2c8ed0 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/599d15b6d03356a97bff7a76155c5604c42a2962 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/594a9f5a8d2de2573a856e506f77ba7dd2cefc6a https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4b3786a6c5397dc220b1483d8e2f4867743e966f
