xen/gnttab: fix gnttab_end_foreign_access() without page specified

2022-03-11T11:42:10+00:00

Commit 42baefac638f06314298087394b982ead9ec444b upstream. gnttab_end_foreign_access() is used to free a grant reference and optionally to free the associated page. In case the grant is still in use by the other side processing is being deferred. This leads to a problem in case no page to be freed is specified by the caller: the caller doesn't know that the page is still mapped by the other side and thus should not be used for other purposes. The correct way to handle this situation is to take an additional reference to the granted page in case handling is being deferred and to drop that reference when the grant reference could be freed finally. This requires that there are no users of gnttab_end_foreign_access() left directly repurposing the granted page after the call, as this might result in clobbered data or information leaks via the not yet freed grant reference. This is part of CVE-2022-23041 / XSA-396. Reported-by: Simon Gaiser Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross Reviewed-by: Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

xen/pvcalls: use alloc/free_pages_exact()

2022-03-11T11:42:09+00:00

Commit b0576cc9c6b843d99c6982888d59a56209341888 upstream. Instead of __get_free_pages() and free_pages() use alloc_pages_exact() and free_pages_exact(). This is in preparation of a change of gnttab_end_foreign_access() which will prohibit use of high-order pages. This is part of CVE-2022-23041 / XSA-396.

xen: remove gnttab_query_foreign_access()

2022-03-11T11:42:09+00:00

Commit 1dbd11ca75fe664d3e54607547771d021f531f59 upstream. Remove gnttab_query_foreign_access(), as it is unused and unsafe to use. All previous use cases assumed a grant would not be in use after gnttab_query_foreign_access() returned 0. This information is useless in best case, as it only refers to a situation in the past, which could have changed already.

xen/gntalloc: don't use gnttab_query_foreign_access()

2022-03-11T11:42:09+00:00

Commit d3b6372c5881cb54925212abb62c521df8ba4809 upstream. Using gnttab_query_foreign_access() is unsafe, as it is racy by design. The use case in the gntalloc driver is not needed at all. While at it replace the call of gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref() with a call of gnttab_end_foreign_access(), which is what is really wanted there. In case the grant wasn't used due to an allocation failure, just free the grant via gnttab_free_grant_reference(). This is CVE-2022-23039 / part of XSA-396.

xen/grant-table: add gnttab_try_end_foreign_access()

Commit 6b1775f26a2da2b05a6dc8ec2b5d14e9a4701a1a upstream. Add a new grant table function gnttab_try_end_foreign_access(), which will remove and free a grant if it is not in use. Its main use case is to either free a grant if it is no longer in use, or to take some other action if it is still in use. This other action can be an error exit, or (e.g. in the case of blkfront persistent grant feature) some special handling. This is CVE-2022-23036, CVE-2022-23038 / part of XSA-396.

xen/xenbus: don't let xenbus_grant_ring() remove grants in error case

2022-03-11T11:42:09+00:00

Commit 3777ea7bac3113005b7180e6b9dadf16d19a5827 upstream. Letting xenbus_grant_ring() tear down grants in the error case is problematic, as the other side could already have used these grants. Calling gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref() without checking success is resulting in an unclear situation for any caller of xenbus_grant_ring() as in the error case the memory pages of the ring page might be partially mapped. Freeing them would risk unwanted foreign access to them, while not freeing them would leak memory. In order to remove the need to undo any gnttab_grant_foreign_access() calls, use gnttab_alloc_grant_references() to make sure no further error can occur in the loop granting access to the ring pages. It should be noted that this way of handling removes leaking of grant entries in the error case, too. This is CVE-2022-23040 / part of XSA-396.

xen/gntdev: fix unmap notification order

2022-01-27T11:02:43+00:00

commit ce2f46f3531a03781181b7f4bd1ff9f8c5086e7e upstream. While working with Xen's libxenvchan library I have faced an issue with unmap notifications sent in wrong order if both UNMAP_NOTIFY_SEND_EVENT and UNMAP_NOTIFY_CLEAR_BYTE were requested: first we send an event channel notification and then clear the notification byte which renders in the below inconsistency (cli_live is the byte which was requested to be cleared on unmap): [ 444.514243] gntdev_put_map UNMAP_NOTIFY_SEND_EVENT map->notify.event 6 libxenvchan_is_open cli_live 1 [ 444.515239] __unmap_grant_pages UNMAP_NOTIFY_CLEAR_BYTE at 14 Thus it is not possible to reliably implement the checks like - wait for the notification (UNMAP_NOTIFY_SEND_EVENT) - check the variable (UNMAP_NOTIFY_CLEAR_BYTE) because it is possible that the variable gets checked before it is cleared by the kernel. To fix that we need to re-order the notifications, so the variable is first gets cleared and then the event channel notification is sent. With this fix I can see the correct order of execution: [ 54.522611] __unmap_grant_pages UNMAP_NOTIFY_CLEAR_BYTE at 14 [ 54.537966] gntdev_put_map UNMAP_NOTIFY_SEND_EVENT map->notify.event 6 libxenvchan_is_open cli_live 0 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Oleksandr Andrushchenko Reviewed-by: Boris Ostrovsky Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211210092817.580718-1-andr2000@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

xen/console: harden hvc_xen against event channel storms

2021-12-16T07:24:08+00:00

The Xen console driver is still vulnerable for an attack via excessive number of events sent by the backend. Fix that by using a lateeoi event channel. For the normal domU initial console this requires the introduction of bind_evtchn_to_irq_lateeoi() as there is no xenbus device available at the time the event channel is bound to the irq. As the decision whether an interrupt was spurious or not requires to test for bytes having been read from the backend, move sending the event into the if statement, as sending an event without having found any bytes to be read is making no sense at all.

xen: detect uninitialized xenbus in xenbus_init

2021-11-24T14:55:15+00:00

If the xenstore page hasn't been allocated properly, reading the value of the related hvm_param (HVM_PARAM_STORE_PFN) won't actually return error. Instead, it will succeed and return zero. Instead of attempting to xen_remap a bad guest physical address, detect this condition and return early. Note that although a guest physical address of zero for HVM_PARAM_STORE_PFN is theoretically possible, it is not a good choice and zero has never been validly used in that capacity. Also recognize all bits set as an invalid value. For 32-bit Linux, any pfn above ULONG_MAX would get truncated. Pfns above ULONG_MAX should never be passed by the Xen tools to HVM guests anyway, so check for this condition and return early.
