[PATCH v1] HID: sensor-hub: Fail unfinished multi-value reads on removal
Posted by Yibo Tan 2 weeks ago
sensor_hub_remove() completes pending reads after stopping the HID device,
but does not record why they completed.  A successful completion wait
therefore returns zero even if no complete input report was received.
Multi-value IIO callers then format their untouched automatic buffer as a
successful result.

With a valid four-element signed 32-bit quaternion report descriptor, an
unprivileged reader received all 16 bytes of the untouched buffer.  Across
11 independent KASLR-enabled boots, four reads exposed exact pointers to
dev_rot_channels or dev_sysfs_ops.  Subtracting the matching link-time
symbol address recovered the kernel KASLR slide in all four cases.

The reader ran as UID/GID 65534 with no effective capabilities through the
mode-0644 IIO attribute.  The test used a privileged UHID broker to create
and remove the provider; it does not demonstrate unprivileged provider
removal.

Publish -ENODEV through pending.raw_size before completing an unfinished
multi-value request, and propagate the error after a successful wait.  A
fully received response already has a positive raw_size and remains
successful; max_raw_size is zero for the separate single-value path.

The Root B-only repair returned -ENODEV with no payload or kernel
diagnostic in 3/3 matching signed-32-bit runs.

A source reproducer, complete vulnerable and fixed serial logs, result
tables, and checksums are available at:

Thanks for the report and fix. Looks good to me, but I'm a little
concerned about fragility of relying on ordering of data being set
and the update of raw_size (in sensorhub_raw_event()). It is messy 
for a compiler to reorder it but I think is allowed to in theory
at least.

Perhaps it is safer for these tear down paths to just set a flag before
the shutdown extra completion and ensure an error is returned in
anything that is waiting on that completion if that flag is set?
That flag would be before the new competion so I think ordering
would be fine.  Might result in extra errors to userspace but we don't
really care when ripping things down.

[PATCH v3] HID: sensor-hub: Fail unfinished multi-value reads on removal
Posted by Yibo Tan 1 week, 5 days ago
sensor_hub_remove() completes pending reads after stopping the HID device,
but does not record why they completed.  A successful completion wait
therefore returns zero even if no complete input report was received.
Multi-value IIO callers then format their untouched automatic buffer as a
successful result.

With a valid four-element signed 32-bit quaternion report descriptor, an
unprivileged reader received all 16 bytes of the untouched buffer.  Across
11 independent KASLR-enabled boots, four reads exposed exact pointers to
dev_rot_channels or dev_sysfs_ops.  Subtracting the matching link-time
symbol address recovered the kernel KASLR slide in all four cases.

The reader ran as UID/GID 65534 with no effective capabilities through the
mode-0644 IIO attribute.  The test used a privileged UHID broker to create
and remove the provider; it does not demonstrate unprivileged provider
removal.

Mark a pending request as shut down before completing it from the removal
path, and return -ENODEV from a multi-value read that observes the marker
after a successful wait.  Let removal win even if a response raced with
teardown, since the device is no longer available.

The Root B-only repair returned -ENODEV with no payload or kernel
diagnostic in 3/3 matching signed-32-bit runs.  The source reproducer,
complete vulnerable and fixed serial logs, result tables, and checksums are
available in [1].

Applied to the fixes branch of iio.git.

It might or might not go upstream before the next merge windows. In practice
I'm going to assume these devices are typically not hotplugable except in
dev kits so we are unlikely to see this on production devices unless
someone manually removes?  That does affect whether to fix it, but only how
fast we rush it upstream!
