Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: uprobe: avoid out-of-bounds memory access of fetching args Uprobe needs to fetch args into a percpu buffer, and then copy to ring
buffer to avoid non-atomic context problem. Sometimes user-space strings, arrays can be very large, but the size of
percpu buffer is only page size. And store_trace_args() won't check
whether these data exceeds a single page or not, caused out-of-bounds
memory access. It could be reproduced by following steps:
1. build kernel with CONFIG_KASAN enabled
2. save follow program as test.c ```
\#include <stdio.h>
\#include <stdlib.h>
\#include <string.h> // If string length large than MAX_STRING_SIZE, the fetch_store_strlen()
// will return 0, cause __get_data_size() return shorter size, and
// store_trace_args() will not trigger out-of-bounds access.
// So make string length less than 4096.
\#define STRLEN 4093 void generate_string(char *str, int n)
{ int i; for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) { char c = i % 26 + 'a'; str[i] = c; } str[n-1] = '\0';
} void print_string(char *str)
{ printf("%s
", str);
} int main()
{ char tmp[STRLEN]; generate_string(tmp, STRLEN); print_string(tmp); return 0;
}
```
3. compile program
`gcc -o test test.c` 4. get the offset of `print_string()`
```
objdump -t test | grep -w print_string
0000000000401199 g F .text 000000000000001b print_string
``` 5. configure uprobe with offset 0x1199
```
off=0x1199 cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
echo "p /root/test:${off} arg1=+0(%di):ustring arg2=\$comm arg3=+0(%di):ustring" > uprobe_events
echo 1 > events/uprobes/enable
echo 1 > tracing_on
``` 6. run `test`, and kasan will report error.

Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
