CVE-2024-53097

Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm: krealloc: Fix MTE false alarm in __do_krealloc

This patch addresses an issue introduced by commit 1a83a716ec233 ("mm: krealloc: consider spare memory for __GFP_ZERO") which causes MTE (Memory Tagging Extension) to falsely report a slab-out-of-bounds error.

The problem occurs when zeroing out spare memory in __do_krealloc. The original code only considered software-based KASAN and did not account for MTE. It does not reset the KASAN tag before calling memset, leading to a mismatch between the pointer tag and the memory tag, resulting in a false positive.

El problema ocurre al poner a cero la memoria de repuesto en __do_krealloc. El código original solo consideraba KASAN basado en software y no tenía en cuenta MTE. No restablece la etiqueta KASAN antes de llamar a memset, lo que lleva a una falta de coincidencia entre la etiqueta del puntero y la etiqueta de memoria, lo que resulta en un falso positivo. Ejemplo del error: ================================================================== swapper/0: ERROR: KASAN: slab fuera de los límites en __memset+0x84/0x188 swapper/0: Escritura en la dirección f4ffff8005f0fdf0 por la tarea swapper/0/1 swapper/0: Etiqueta de puntero: [f4], etiqueta de memoria: [fe] swapper/0: swapper/0: CPU: 4 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 No contaminado 6.12. swapper/0: Nombre del hardware: MT6991(ENG) (DT) swapper/0: Rastreo de llamadas: swapper/0: dump_backtrace+0xfc/0x17c swapper/0: show_stack+0x18/0x28 swapper/0: dump_stack_lvl+0x40/0xa0 swapper/0: print_report+0x1b8/0x71c swapper/0: kasan_report+0xec/0x14c swapper/0: __do_kernel_fault+0x60/0x29c swapper/0: do_bad_area+0x30/0xdc swapper/0: do_tag_check_fault+0x20/0x34 swapper/0: do_mem_abort+0x58/0x104 swapper/0: el1_abort+0x3c/0x5c intercambiador/0: el1h_64_sync_handler+0x80/0xcc intercambiador/0: el1h_64_sync+0x68/0x6c intercambiador/0: __memset+0x84/0x188 intercambiador/0: btf_populate_kfunc_set+0x280/0x3d8 intercambiador/0: __register_btf_kfunc_id_set+0x43c/0x468 intercambiador/0: register_btf_kfunc_id_set+0x48/0x60 intercambiador/0: register_nf_nat_bpf+0x1c/0x40 intercambiador/0: nf_nat_init+0xc0/0x128 intercambiador/0: do_one_initcall+0x184/0x464 intercambiador/0: do_initcall_level+0xdc/0x1b0 intercambiador/0: do_initcalls+0x70/0xc0 intercambiador/0: do_basic_setup+0x1c/0x28 intercambiador/0: kernel_init_freeable+0x144/0x1b8 intercambiador/0: kernel_init+0x20/0x1a8 intercambiador/0: ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 ===================================================================="
