Subject: Re: [PATCH] parisc: fix kernel crash when unwinding a userspace process (v2)
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 15:16:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200811211516.50750.deller@gmx.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200811202258.56561.deller@gmx.de>
Any user on existing parisc 32- and 64bit-kernels can easily crash
the kernel and as such enforce a DSO.
A simple testcase is available here:
http://gsyprf10.external.hp.com/~deller/crash.tgz
The problem is introduced by the fact, that the handle_interruption()
crash handler calls the show_regs() function, which in turn tries
to unwind the stack by calling parisc_show_stack().
Since the stack contains userspace addresses, a try to unwind
the stack is dangerous and useless and leads to the crash.
The fix is trivial: For userspace processes
a) avoid to unwind the stack, and
b) avoid to resolve userspace addresses to kernel symbol names.
While touching this code, I converted print_symbol() to %pS
printk formats and made parisc_show_stack() static.
An initial patch for this was written by Kyle McMartin back in August:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-parisc&m=121805168830283&w=2
Compile and run-tested with a 64bit parisc kernel.
Patches for -stable series will follow shortly.
