Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/slub: actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning

It turns out that SLUB redzoning ("slub_debug=Z") checks from
s->object_size rather than from s->inuse (which is normally bumped to
make room for the freelist pointer), so a cache created with an object
size less than 24 would have the freelist pointer written beyond
s->object_size, causing the redzone to be corrupted by the freelist
pointer. This was very visible with "slub_debug=ZF":

Adjust the offset to stay within s->object_size.

(Note that no caches of in this size range are known to exist in the
kernel currently.)

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: mm/slub: en realidad corrige el puntero de lista libre frente a redzoning. Resulta que SLUB redzoning ("slub_debug=Z") verifica desde s->object_size en lugar de s->inuse (que normalmente se elimina para dejar espacio para el puntero de lista libre), por lo que un caché creado con un tamaño de objeto menor a 24 tendría el puntero de lista libre escrito más allá de s->object_size, causando que el puntero de lista libre corrompa la zona roja. Esto fue muy visible con "slub_debug=ZF": prueba de BUG(contaminada: GB): zona roja derecha sobrescrita ---------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- INFORMACIÓN : 0xffff957ead1c05de-0xffff957ead1c05df @offset=1502.

Ajuste el desplazamiento para permanecer dentro de s->object_size. (Tenga en cuenta que actualmente no se sabe que existan cachés de este rango de tamaño en el kernel).
