Subject: [PATCH 1/1] uprobes: Fix the memory out of bound overwrite in copy_insn()
Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2013 20:40:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131107194032.GB29154@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20131107194010.GA29154@redhat.com>

1. copy_insn() doesn't look very nice, all calculations are
   confusing and it is not immediately clear why do we read
   the 2nd page first.

2. The usage of inode->i_size is wrong on 32-bit machines.

3. "Instruction at end of binary" logic is simply wrong, it
   doesn't handle the case when uprobe->offset > inode->i_size.

   In this case "bytes" overflows, and __copy_insn() writes to
   the memory outside of uprobe->arch.insn.

   Yes, uprobe_register() checks i_size_read(), but this file
   can be truncated after that. All i_size checks are racy, we
   do this only to catch the obvious mistakes.

Change copy_insn() to call __copy_insn() in a loop, simplify
and fix the bytes/nbytes calculations.

Note: we do not care if offset + size > i_size, the users of
arch_uprobe->insn can't know how many bytes were actually copied
anyway. But perhaps this needs more changes.
