[PATCH v2] lib/stackdepot: Fix global out-of-bounds in stackdepot

From: Walter Wu
Date: Thu Dec 12 2019 - 06:58:58 EST


If the depot_index = STACK_ALLOC_MAX_SLABS - 2 and next_slab_inited = 0,
then it will cause array out-of-bounds access, so that we should modify
the detection to avoid this array out-of-bounds bug.

Assume depot_index = STACK_ALLOC_MAX_SLABS - 3
Consider following call flow sequence:

stack_depot_save()
depot_alloc_stack()
if (unlikely(depot_index + 1 >= STACK_ALLOC_MAX_SLABS)) //pass
depot_index++ //depot_index = STACK_ALLOC_MAX_SLABS - 2
if (depot_index + 1 < STACK_ALLOC_MAX_SLABS) //enter
smp_store_release(&next_slab_inited, 0); //next_slab_inited = 0
init_stack_slab()
if (stack_slabs[depot_index] == NULL) //enter

stack_depot_save()
depot_alloc_stack()
if (unlikely(depot_index + 1 >= STACK_ALLOC_MAX_SLABS)) //pass
depot_index++ //depot_index = STACK_ALLOC_MAX_SLABS - 1
init_stack_slab(&prealloc)
stack_slabs[depot_index + 1] //here get global out-of-bounds
