From 32c5209214bd8d4f8c4e9d9b630ef4c671f58e79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Piggin Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2022 22:49:28 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/perf: callchain validate kernel stack pointer bounds The interrupt frame detection and loads from the hypothetical pt_regs are not bounds-checked. The next-frame validation only bounds-checks STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD, which does not include the pt_regs. Add another test for this. The user could set r1 to be equal to the address matching the first interrupt frame - STACK_INT_FRAME_SIZE, which is in the previous page due to the kernel redzone, and induce the kernel to load the marker from there. Possibly this could cause a crash at least. If the user could induce the previous page to contain a valid marker, then it might be able to direct perf to read specific memory addresses in a way that could be transmitted back to the user in the perf data.
