Subject: [PATCH bpf v2 3/7] bpf, sockmap: zero-initialize pages allocated in bpf_msg_push_data
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 20:34:11 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260611123538.156005-4-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260611123538.156005-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>
From: Weiming Shi <bestswngs@gmail.com>
bpf_msg_push_data() allocates pages via alloc_pages() without
__GFP_ZERO. In the non-copy path, the entire page of uninitialized
heap content is added directly to the sk_msg scatterlist, which is
then transmitted over TCP to userspace via tcp_bpf_push(). In the
copy path, a gap of len bytes between the front and back memcpy
regions is similarly left uninitialized.
This leads to a kernel heap information leak: stale page content
including kernel pointers from the direct-map and vmemmap regions
is transmitted to userspace, which can be used to defeat KASLR.
Add __GFP_ZERO to the alloc_pages() call to ensure the allocated
page is always zeroed before it enters the scatterlist.
