- Summary
- rcu: Avoid stack overflow due to __rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() being kprobe-ed
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu: Avoid stack overflow due to _rcuirqentercheck_tick() being kprobe-ed
Registering a kprobe on _rcuirqenterchecktick() can cause kernel stack overflow as shown below. This issue can be reproduced by enabling CONFIGNOHZFULL and booting the kernel with argument "nohz_full=", and then giving the following commands at the shell prompt:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ # echo 'p:mp1 _rcuirqenterchecktick' >> kprobeevents # echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable
This commit therefore adds _rcuirqenterchecktick() to the kprobes blacklist using NOKPROBESYMBOL().
