CVE-2022-49783
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/fpu: Drop fpregs lock before inheriting FPU permissions
Mike Galbraith reported the following against an old fork of preempt-rt but the same issue also applies to the current preempt-rt tree.
Mike says:
Mike's assessment looks correct. fpregs_lock on a PREEMPT_RT kernel disables preemption so calling spin_lock_irq() in fpu_inherit_perms() is unsafe. This problem exists since commit
Even though the original bug report should not have enabled the paths at all, the bug still exists.
fpregs_lock is necessary when editing the FPU registers or a task's FP state but it is not necessary for fpu_inherit_perms().
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
The only write of any FP state in fpu_inherit_perms() is for the new child which is not running yet and cannot context switch or be borrowed by a kernel thread yet. Hence, fpregs_lock is not protecting anything in the new child until clone() completes and can be dropped earlier. The siglock still needs to be acquired by fpu_inherit_perms() as the read of the parent's permissions has to be serialised.

The splat comes from fpu_inherit_perms() being called under fpregs_lock(),
and us reaching the spin_lock_irq() therein due to fpu_state_size_dynamic()
returning true despite static key __fpu_state_size_dynamic having never
been enabled.

La evaluación de Mike parece correcta. fpregs_lock en un kernel PREEMPT_RT deshabilita la preempción, por lo que llamar a spin_lock_irq() en fpu_inherit_perms() no es seguro. Este problema existe desde la confirmación 9e798e9aa14c (\"x86/fpu: Preparar fpu_clone() para funciones habilitadas dinámicamente\"). Aunque el informe de error original no debería haber habilitado las rutas, el error persiste. fpregs_lock es necesario al editar los registros de FPU o el estado de FP de una tarea, pero no es necesario para fpu_inherit_perms(). La única escritura de cualquier estado de FP en fpu_inherit_perms() es para el nuevo hijo, que aún no se está ejecutando y aún no puede cambiar de contexto ni ser tomado prestado por un hilo del kernel. Por lo tanto, fpregs_lock no protege nada en el nuevo hijo hasta que clone() se complete y pueda eliminarse antes. El siglock aún debe ser adquirido por fpu_inherit_perms(), ya que la lectura de los permisos del padre debe serializarse. [bp: Limpieza splat.]"
