[PATCH 1/1] uprobes: Fix the memory out of bound overwrite incopy_insn()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Thu Nov 07 2013 - 14:39:22 EST


1. copy_insn() doesn't look very nice, all calculations are
confusing and it is not immediately clear why do we read
the 2nd page first.

2. The usage of inode->i_size is wrong on 32-bit machines.

3. "Instruction at end of binary" logic is simply wrong, it
doesn't handle the case when uprobe->offset > inode->i_size.

In this case "bytes" overflows, and __copy_insn() writes to
the memory outside of uprobe->arch.insn.

Yes, uprobe_register() checks i_size_read(), but this file
can be truncated after that. All i_size checks are racy, we
do this only to catch the obvious mistakes.

Change copy_insn() to call __copy_insn() in a loop, simplify
and fix the bytes/nbytes calculations.

Note: we do not care if offset + size > i_size, the users of
arch_uprobe->insn can't know how many bytes were actually copied
anyway. But perhaps this needs more changes.
