Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
exec: fix unsigned loop counter wrap in transfer_args_to_stack()<br />
<br />
The stop value is derived from bprm->p >> PAGE_SHIFT. The index variable<br />
is an unsigned long. If bprm->p drops below PAGE_SIZE and stop becomes<br />
zero the loop condition index >= stop is always true.<br />
<br />
After the index == 0 iteration the decrement wraps to ULONG_MAX and<br />
bprm->page[ULONG_MAX] reads sizeof(void *) bytes in front of the array.<br />
The pointer has wrapped to -1. That garbage pointer is then passed to<br />
kmap_local_page() and PAGE_SIZE bytes are copied from wherever that<br />
lands into the stack of the process being created. And the loop doesn&#39;t<br />
terminate either...<br />
<br />
Getting there only requires bprm->p p is pushed down is valid_arg_len(), i.e.<br />
that each individual string still fits in what is left.<br />
<br />
bprm->p starts at PAGE_SIZE * MAX_ARG_PAGES - sizeof(void *) so a<br />
single argument or environment string of a little over 31 pages leaves<br />
it in the first page:<br />

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt<br />
<br />
This is an arcane bug but we should still fix it.<br />
<br />
Count down from MAX_ARG_PAGES so the loop ends when index reaches stop,<br />
stop == 0 included. The iterations performed are unchanged for every<br />
other value of stop.<br />
<br />
Only CONFIG_MMU=n builds are affected, transfer_args_to_stack() is used<br />
by binfmt_flat and binfmt_elf_fdpic on nommu only.<br />
<br />
The loop predates git history. commit 7e7ec6a93434<br />
("elf_fdpic_transfer_args_to_stack(): make it generic") only moved it<br />
from binfmt_elf_fdpic.c into fs/exec.c and narrowed the copy to the used<br />
part of the first page. The condition and the decrement are unchanged<br />
from 2.6.12-rc2.
