CVE-2022-48644

Описание

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: taprio: avoid disabling offload when it was never enabled In an incredibly strange API design decision, qdisc->destroy() gets called even if qdisc->init() never succeeded, not exclusively since commit 87b60cfacf9f ("net_sched: fix error recovery at qdisc creation"), but apparently also earlier (in the case of qdisc_create_dflt()). The taprio qdisc does not fully acknowledge this when it attempts full offload, because it starts off with q->flags = TAPRIO_FLAGS_INVALID in taprio_init(), then it replaces q->flags with TCA_TAPRIO_ATTR_FLAGS parsed from netlink (in taprio_change(), tail called from taprio_init()). But in taprio_destroy(), we call taprio_disable_offload(), and this determines what to do based on FULL_OFFLOAD_IS_ENABLED(q->flags). But looking at the implementation of FULL_OFFLOAD_IS_ENABLED() (a bitwise check of bit 1 in q->flags), it is invalid to call this macro on q->flags when it contains TAPRIO_FLAGS_INVALID, because that is set to U32_MAX, and therefore FULL_OFFLOAD_IS_ENABLED() will return true on an invalid set of flags. As a result, it is possible to crash the kernel if user space forces an error between setting q->flags = TAPRIO_FLAGS_INVALID, and the calling of taprio_enable_offload(). This is because drivers do not expect the offload to be disabled when it was never enabled. The error that we force here is to attach taprio as a non-root qdisc, but instead as child of an mqprio root qdisc: $ tc qdisc add dev swp0 root handle 1:
mqprio num_tc 8 map 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

I've added "bool offloaded" inside a 4 byte hole between "int clockid" and "atomic64_t picos_per_byte". Now the first cache line looks like below: $ pahole -C taprio_sched net/sched/sch_taprio.o struct taprio_sched { struct Qdisc * * qdiscs; /* 0 8 / struct Qdisc * root; / 8 8 / u32 flags; / 16 4 / enum tk_offsets tk_offset; / 20 4 / int clockid; / 24 4 / bool offloaded; / 28 1 / / XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack / atomic64_t picos_per_byte; / 32 0 / / XXX 8 bytes hole, try to pack / spinlock_t current_entry_lock; / 40 0 / / XXX 8 bytes hole, try to pack / struct sched_entry * current_entry; / 48 8 / struct sched_gate_list * oper_sched; / 56 8 / / --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Time-Aware Priority Shaper (taprio) scheduler. The issue arises because the taprio scheduler attempts to disable hardware offload, even if it was never enabled, due to an unusual API design. This issue can result in improper handling and potential system instability.
