[PATCH 4.16 110/110] bpf: Prevent memory disambiguation attack

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 21 2018 - 16:32:27 EST


4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit af86ca4e3088fe5eacf2f7e58c01fa68ca067672 upstream

Detect code patterns where malicious 'speculative store bypass' can be used
and sanitize such patterns.

39: (bf) r3 = r10
40: (07) r3 += -216
41: (79) r8 = *(u64 *)(r7 +0) // slow read
42: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -72) = 0 // verifier inserts this instruction
43: (7b) *(u64 *)(r8 +0) = r3 // this store becomes slow due to r8
44: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r6 +0) // cpu speculatively executes this load
45: (71) r2 = *(u8 *)(r1 +0) // speculatively arbitrary 'load byte'
// is now sanitized

Above code after x86 JIT becomes:
e5: mov %rbp,%rdx
e8: add $0xffffffffffffff28,%rdx
ef: mov 0x0(%r13),%r14
f3: movq $0x0,-0x48(%rbp)
fb: mov %rdx,0x0(%r14)
ff: mov 0x0(%rbx),%rdi
103: movzbq 0x0(%rdi),%rsi
