[PATCH v2 4/4] mm/kasan: Add object validation in ksize()

From: Marco Elver
Date: Wed Jun 26 2019 - 08:23:29 EST


ksize() has been unconditionally unpoisoning the whole shadow memory region
associated with an allocation. This can lead to various undetected bugs,
for example, double-kzfree().

Specifically, kzfree() uses ksize() to determine the actual allocation
size, and subsequently zeroes the memory. Since ksize() used to just
unpoison the whole shadow memory region, no invalid free was detected.

This patch addresses this as follows:

1. Add a check in ksize(), and only then unpoison the memory region.

2. Preserve kasan_unpoison_slab() semantics by explicitly unpoisoning
the shadow memory region using the size obtained from __ksize().

Tested:
1. With SLAB allocator: a) normal boot without warnings; b) verified the
added double-kzfree() is detected.
2. With SLUB allocator: a) normal boot without warnings; b) verified the
added double-kzfree() is detected.
