[PATCH] seccomp: fix populating a0-a5 syscall args in 32-bit x86 BPF

From: Daniel Borkmann
Date: Mon Apr 14 2014 - 15:03:19 EST


Linus reports that on 32-bit x86 Chromium throws the following seccomp
resp. audit log messages:

audit: type=1326 audit(1397359304.356:28108): auid=500 uid=500
gid=500 ses=2 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:chrome_sandbox_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
pid=3677 comm="chrome" exe="/opt/google/chrome/chrome" sig=0
syscall=172 compat=0 ip=0xb2dd9852 code=0x30000

audit: type=1326 audit(1397359304.356:28109): auid=500 uid=500
gid=500 ses=2 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:chrome_sandbox_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
pid=3677 comm="chrome" exe="/opt/google/chrome/chrome" sig=0 syscall=5
compat=0 ip=0xb2dd9852 code=0x50000

These audit messages are being triggered via audit_seccomp() through
__secure_computing() in seccomp mode (BPF) filter with seccomp return
codes 0x30000 (== SECCOMP_RET_TRAP) and 0x50000 (== SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO)
during filter runtime. Moreover, Linus reports that x86_64 Chromium
seems fine.

The underlying issue that explains this is that the implementation of
populate_seccomp_data() is wrong. Our seccomp data structure sd that
is being shared with user ABI is:

struct seccomp_data {
int nr;
__u32 arch;
__u64 instruction_pointer;
__u64 args[6];
};

Therefore, a simple cast to 'unsigned long *' for storing the value of
the syscall argument via syscall_get_arguments() is just wrong as on
32-bit x86 (or any other 32bit arch), it would result in storing a0-a5
at wrong offsets in args[] member, and thus i) could leak stack memory
to user space and ii) tampers with the logic of seccomp BPF programs
that read out and check for syscall arguments:

syscall_get_arguments(task, regs, 0, 1, (unsigned long *) &sd->args[0]);

Tested on 32-bit x86 with Google Chrome, unfortunately only via remote
test machine through slow ssh X forwarding, but it fixes the issue on
my side. So fix it up by storing args in type correct variables, gcc
is clever and optimizes the copy away in other cases, e.g. x86_64.
