Subject: [PATCH v2 05/30] vfs: Define usercopy region in names_cache slab caches
From: David Windsor <dave@...lcore.net>
VFS pathnames are stored in the names_cache slab cache, either inline
or across an entire allocation entry (when approaching PATH_MAX). These
are copied to/from userspace, so they must be entirely whitelisted.
cache object allocation:
include/linux/fs.h:
#define __getname() kmem_cache_alloc(names_cachep, GFP_KERNEL)
example usage trace:
strncpy_from_user+0x4d/0x170
getname_flags+0x6f/0x1f0
user_path_at_empty+0x23/0x40
do_mount+0x69/0xda0
SyS_mount+0x83/0xd0
fs/namei.c:
getname_flags(...):
...
result = __getname();
...
kname = (char *)result->iname;
result->name = kname;
len = strncpy_from_user(kname, filename, EMBEDDED_NAME_MAX);
...
if (unlikely(len == EMBEDDED_NAME_MAX)) {
const size_t size = offsetof(struct filename, iname[1]);
kname = (char *)result;
result = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
...
result->name = kname;
len = strncpy_from_user(kname, filename, PATH_MAX);
In support of usercopy hardening, this patch defines the entire cache
object in the names_cache slab cache as whitelisted, since it may entirely
hold name strings to be copied to/from userspace.
This patch is verbatim from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's PAX_USERCOPY
whitelisting code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my
understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are
mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
