mm/mremap: fix move_normal_pmd/retract_page_tables race
commit 6fa1066fc5d00cb9f1b0e83b7ff6ef98d26ba2aa upstream.
In mremap(), move_page_tables() looks at the type of the PMD entry and the
specified address range to figure out by which method the next chunk of
page table entries should be moved.
At that point, the mmap_lock is held in write mode, but no rmap locks are
held yet. For PMD entries that point to page tables and are fully covered
by the source address range, move_pgt_entry(NORMAL_PMD, ...) is called,
which first takes rmap locks, then does move_normal_pmd().
move_normal_pmd() takes the necessary page table locks at source and
destination, then moves an entire page table from the source to the
destination.
The problem is: The rmap locks, which protect against concurrent page
table removal by retract_page_tables() in the THP code, are only taken
after the PMD entry has been read and it has been decided how to move it.
So we can race as follows (with two processes that have mappings of the
same tmpfs file that is stored on a tmpfs mount with huge=advise); note
that process A accesses page tables through the MM while process B does it
through the file rmap:
process A process B
========= =========
mremap
mremap_to
move_vma
move_page_tables
get_old_pmd
alloc_new_pmd
*** PREEMPT ***
madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE)
do_madvise
madvise_walk_vmas
madvise_vma_behavior
madvise_collapse
hpage_collapse_scan_file
collapse_file
retract_page_tables
i_mmap_lock_read(mapping)
pmdp_collapse_flush
i_mmap_unlock_read(mapping)
move_pgt_entry(NORMAL_PMD, ...)
take_rmap_locks
move_normal_pmd
drop_rmap_locks
When this happens, move_normal_pmd() can end up creating bogus PMD entries
in the line `pmd_populate(mm, new_pmd, pmd_pgtable(pmd))`. The effect
depends on arch-specific and machine-specific details; on x86, you can end
up with physical page 0 mapped as a page table, which is likely
exploitable for user->kernel privilege escalation.
Fix the race by letting process B recheck that the PMD still points to a
page table after the rmap locks have been taken. Otherwise, we bail and
let the caller fall back to the PTE-level copying path, which will then
bail immediately at the pmd_none() check.
Bug reachability: Reaching this bug requires that you can create
shmem/file THP mappings - anonymous THP uses different code that doesn't
zap stuff under rmap locks. File THP is gated on an experimental config
flag (CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS), so on normal distro kernels you need
shmem THP to hit this bug. As far as I know, getting shmem THP normally
requires that you can mount your own tmpfs with the right mount flags,
which would require creating your own user+mount namespace; though I don't
know if some distros maybe enable shmem THP by default or something like
that.
Bug impact: This issue can likely be used for user->kernel privilege
escalation when it is reachable.
