CVE-2024-26906
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mm: Disallow vsyscall page read for copy_from_kernel_nofault()
When trying to use copy_from_kernel_nofault() to read vsyscall page through a bpf program, the following oops was reported:
The oops is triggered when:
1) A bpf program uses bpf_probe_read_kernel() to read from the vsyscall page and invokes copy_from_kernel_nofault() which in turn calls __get_user_asm().
2) Because the vsyscall page address is not readable from kernel space, a page fault exception is triggered accordingly.
3) handle_page_fault() considers the vsyscall page address as a user space address instead of a kernel space address. This results in the fix-up setup by bpf not being applied and a page_fault_oops() is invoked due to SMAP.
Read full descriptionShow less
Considering handle_page_fault() has already considered the vsyscall page address as a userspace address, fix the problem by disallowing vsyscall page read for copy_from_kernel_nofault().
