Subject: [PATCH] blktrace: put bounds on BLKTRACESETUP buf_size and buf_nr
Date: Wed,  3 Jun 2020 22:44:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200604054434.216698-1-harshadshirwadkar@gmail.com> (raw)

Make sure that user requested memory via BLKTRACESETUP is within
bounds. This can be easily exploited by setting really large values
for buf_size and buf_nr in BLKTRACESETUP ioctl.

blktrace program has following hardcoded values for bufsize and bufnr:
BUF_SIZE=(512 * 1024)
BUF_NR=(4)

We add buffer to this and define the upper bound to be as follows:
BUF_SIZE=(1024 * 1024)
BUF_NR=(16)

This is very easy to exploit. Setting buf_size / buf_nr in userspace
program to big values make kernel go oom.  Verified that the fix makes
BLKTRACESETUP return -E2BIG if the buf_size * buf_nr crosses the upper
bound.
