[PATCH] uprobes: fix kernel info leak via "[uprobes]" vma
Posted by Oleg Nesterov 1 year, 4 months ago 
xol_add_vma() maps the uninitialized page allocated by __create_xol_area()
into userspace. On some architectures (x86) this memory is readable even
without VM_READ, VM_EXEC results in the same pgprot_t as VM_EXEC|VM_READ.

Good catch!
I think we push this urgently and send it to stable tree too, right?

Agreed, can you route this patch?

Will add this or should I resend with these tags included ?

perhaps the changelog should mention that debugger can read this memory
regardless of pgprot_t...

Thanks!

No, but can you confirm this is correct tag? I just track when the
alloc_page() came from.

OK, if you can do that, can you add it and resend it?

Thank you,

Great, thank you!

OK, I'll send V2 with the updated changelog in reply to V1 in a minute.

Thanks,

[PATCH v2] uprobes: fix kernel info leak via "[uprobes]" vma
Posted by Oleg Nesterov 1 year, 4 months ago 
xol_add_vma() maps the uninitialized page allocated by __create_xol_area()
into userspace. On some architectures (x86) this memory is readable even
without VM_READ, VM_EXEC results in the same pgprot_t as VM_EXEC|VM_READ,
although this doesn't really matter, debugger can read this memory anyway.
