Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Detect IP == ksym.end as part of BPF program Now that bpfthrow kfunc is the first such call instruction that has noreturn semantics within the verifier, this also kicks in dead code elimination in unprecedented ways. For one, any instruction following a bpfthrow call will never be marked as seen. Moreover, if a callchain ends up throwing, any instructions after the call instruction to the eventually throwing subprog in callers will also never be marked as seen. The tempting way to fix this would be to emit extra 'int3' instructions which bump the jitedlen of a program, and ensure that during runtime when a program throws, we can discover its boundaries even if the call instruction to bpfthrow (or to subprogs that always throw) is emitted as the final instruction in the program. An example of such a program would be this: dosomething(): ... r0 = 0 exit foo(): r1 = 0 call bpfthrow r0 = 0 exit bar(cond): if r1 != 0 goto pc+2 call dosomething exit call foo r0 = 0 // Never seen by verifier exit // main(ctx): r1 = ... call bar r0 = 0 exit Here, if we do end up throwing, the stacktrace would be the following: bpfthrow foo bar main In bar, the final instruction emitted will be the call to foo, as such, the return address will be the subsequent instruction (which the JIT emits as int3 on x86). This will end up lying outside the jitedlen of the program, thus, when unwinding, we will fail to discover the return address as belonging to any program and end up in a panic due to the unreliable stack unwinding of BPF programs that we never expect. To remedy this case, make bpfprogksymfind treat IP == ksym.end as part of the BPF program, so that isbpftext_address returns true when such a case occurs, and we are able to unwind reliably when the final instruction ends up being a call instruction.
