标题: Linux Kernel (Ubuntu 16.04) - Reference Count Overflow Using BPF Maps EDB-ID: 39773 CVE: 2016-4558 类型: DOS 平台: LINUX 发布日期: 2016-05-04 漏洞利用脚本: Source: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=809

Most things in the kernel use 32-bit reference counters, relying on the
fact that the memory constraints of real computers make it impossible to
create enough references to overflow the counters. There are exceptions
for things like `struct file` because it is possible to create references
to them with relatively little memory usage.

Using BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY maps, it is possible to create
references to BPF programs that only need sizeof(void*) bytes each
(8 bytes on amd64), permitting an overflow after filling ~32GB of memory
that is subject to RLIMIT_MEMLOCK restrictions.

The requirement for more than 32GB of RAM is relatively high, but not
impossible. The requirement that the allocations need to be below
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is probably the bigger obstacle for exploitation: On most
Linux systems, every user is only permitted to allocate up to 64KiB of RAM.
However:

 - There are systems where RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is disabled administratively.
 - On systems with containers (e.g. LXC containers), usually every
   container's root user has access to 2^16 different UIDs. If an attacker
   has control over 9 containers and can share file descriptors between
   them or has control over one container with a relatively high number
   of mapped UIDs, he should be able to trigger the overflow.

The attached PoC, when run in a Ubuntu 16.04 VM with 40GB RAM and the
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit disabled, needs 25 minutes to execute and causes the
following oops:

[ 1850.676655] Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

I believe that this issue illustrates that reference count hardening
makes sense, even without reference leaks.

A suggested patch (compile-tested) is attached.

Fixed in https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/kernel/bpf?id=92117d8443bc5afacc8d5ba82e541946310f106e
