bpf: Forbid XADD on spilled pointers for unprivileged users
When check_xadd() verifies an XADD operation on a pointer to a stack slot containing a spilled pointer, check_stack_read() verifies that the read, which is part of XADD, is valid. However, since the placeholder value -1 is passed as `value_regno`, check_stack_read() can only return a binary decision and can't return the type of the value that was read. The intent here is to verify whether the value read from the stack slot may be used as a SCALAR_VALUE; but since check_stack_read() doesn't check the type, and the type information is lost when check_stack_read() returns, this is not enforced, and a malicious user can abuse XADD to leak spilled kernel pointers. Fix it by letting check_stack_read() verify that the value is usable as a SCALAR_VALUE if no type information is passed to the caller. To be able to use __is_pointer_value() in check_stack_read(), move it up. Fix up the expected unprivileged error message for a BPF selftest that, until now, assumed that unprivileged users can use XADD on stack-spilled pointers. This also gives us a test for the behavior introduced in this patch for free. In theory, this could also be fixed by forbidding XADD on stack spills entirely, since XADD is a locked operation (for operations on memory with concurrency) and there can't be any concurrency on the BPF stack; but Alexei has said that he wants to keep XADD on stack slots working to avoid changes to the test suite [1]. The following BPF program demonstrates how to leak a BPF map pointer as an unprivileged user using this bug: // r7 = map_pointer BPF_LD_MAP_FD(BPF_REG_7, small_map), // r8 = launder(map_pointer) BPF_STX_MEM(BPF_DW, BPF_REG_FP, BPF_REG_7, -8), BPF_MOV64_IMM(BPF_REG_1, 0), ((struct bpf_insn) { .code = BPF_STX | BPF_DW | BPF_XADD, .dst_reg = BPF_REG_FP, .src_reg = BPF_REG_1, .off = -8 }), BPF_LDX_MEM(BPF_DW, BPF_REG_8, BPF_REG_FP, -8), // store r8 into map BPF_MOV64_REG(BPF_REG_ARG1, BPF_REG_7), BPF_MOV64_REG(BPF_REG_ARG2, BPF_REG_FP), BPF_ALU64_IMM(BPF_ADD, BPF_REG_ARG2, -4), BPF_ST_MEM(BPF_W, BPF_REG_ARG2, 0, 0), BPF_EMIT_CALL(BPF_FUNC_map_lookup_elem), BPF_JMP_IMM(BPF_JNE, BPF_REG_0, 0, 1), BPF_EXIT_INSN(), BPF_STX_MEM(BPF_DW, BPF_REG_0, BPF_REG_8, 0), BPF_MOV64_IMM(BPF_REG_0, 0), BPF_EXIT_INSN() [1] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200416211116.qxqcza5vo2ddnkdq@ast-mbp.dhcp.thefacebook.com/ Fixes: 17a5267067f3 ("bpf: verifier (add verifier core)") Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200417000007.10734-1-jannh@google.com
