Subject: [PATCH 5.15 699/913] fs/binfmt_elf: Fix AT_PHDR for unusual ELF files

From: Akira Kawata <akirakawata1@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 0da1d5002745cdc721bc018b582a8a9704d56c42 ]

BugLink: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197921

As pointed out in the discussion of buglink, we cannot calculate AT_PHDR
as the sum of load_addr and exec->e_phoff.

: The AT_PHDR of ELF auxiliary vectors should point to the memory address
: of program header. But binfmt_elf.c calculates this address as follows:
:
: NEW_AUX_ENT(AT_PHDR, load_addr + exec->e_phoff);
:
: which is wrong since e_phoff is the file offset of program header and
: load_addr is the memory base address from PT_LOAD entry.
:
: The ld.so uses AT_PHDR as the memory address of program header. In normal
: case, since the e_phoff is usually 64 and in the first PT_LOAD region, it
: is the correct program header address.
:
: But if the address of program header isn't equal to the first PT_LOAD
: address + e_phoff (e.g.  Put the program header in other non-consecutive
: PT_LOAD region), ld.so will try to read program header from wrong address
: then crash or use incorrect program header.

This is because exec->e_phoff
is the offset of PHDRs in the file and the address of PHDRs in the
memory may differ from it. This patch fixes the bug by calculating the
address of program headers from PT_LOADs directly.
