[PATCH v2] arch/x86: fix out-of-bounds in get_wchan()

From: Dmitry Vyukov
Date: Mon Sep 28 2015 - 12:14:23 EST


get_wchan() checks that fp is within stack bounds,
but then dereferences fp+8. This can crash kernel
or leak sensitive information. Also the function
operates on a potentially running stack, but does
not use READ_ONCE. As the result it can check that
one value is within stack bounds, but then deref
another value.

Fix the bounds check and use READ_ONCE for all
volatile data.

The bug was discovered with KASAN.

v2: Use "fp+sizeof(u64)" instead of "fp" in upper bound
comparison because we are going to read 8 bytes at fp.
As per Andrey Ryabinin comment.

FTR, here is the KASAN report:
