In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix a sdiv overflow issue
Zac Ecob reported a problem where a bpf program may cause kernel crash due
to the following error:
Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI
The failure is due to the below signed divide:
LLONG_MIN/-1 where LLONG_MIN equals to -9,223,372,036,854,775,808.
LLONG_MIN/-1 is supposed to give a positive number 9,223,372,036,854,775,808,
but it is impossible since for 64-bit system, the maximum positive
number is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. On x86_64, LLONG_MIN/-1 will
cause a kernel exception. On arm64, the result for LLONG_MIN/-1 is
LLONG_MIN.
Further investigation found all the following sdiv/smod cases may trigger
an exception when bpf program is running on x86_64 platform:
- LLONG_MIN/-1 for 64bit operation
- INT_MIN/-1 for 32bit operation
- LLONG_MIN%-1 for 64bit operation
- INT_MIN%-1 for 32bit operation
where -1 can be an immediate or in a register.
On arm64, there are no exceptions:
- LLONG_MIN/-1 = LLONG_MIN
- INT_MIN/-1 = INT_MIN
- LLONG_MIN%-1 = 0
- INT_MIN%-1 = 0
where -1 can be an immediate or in a register.
Insn patching is needed to handle the above cases and the patched codes
produced results aligned with above arm64 result. The below are pseudo
codes to handle sdiv/smod exceptions including both divisor -1 and divisor 0
and the divisor is stored in a register.
sdiv:
tmp = rX
tmp += 1 /* [-1, 0] -> [0, 1]
if tmp >(unsigned) 1 goto L2
if tmp == 0 goto L1
rY = 0
L1:
rY = -rY;
goto L3
L2:
rY /= rX
L3:
smod:
tmp = rX
tmp += 1 /* [-1, 0] -> [0, 1]
if tmp >(unsigned) 1 goto L1
if tmp == 1 (is64 ? goto L2 : goto L3)
rY = 0;
goto L2
L1:
rY %= rX
L2:
goto L4 // only when !is64
L3:
wY = wY // only when !is64
