[PATCH] security: fix integer overflow in lsm_set_self_attr() syscall

From: Jann Horn
Date: Wed Feb 14 2024 - 11:05:56 EST


security_setselfattr() has an integer overflow bug that leads to
out-of-bounds access when userspace provides bogus input:
`lctx->ctx_len + sizeof(*lctx)` is checked against `lctx->len` (and,
redundantly, also against `size`), but there are no checks on
`lctx->ctx_len`.
Therefore, userspace can provide an `lsm_ctx` with `->ctx_len` set to a
value between `-sizeof(struct lsm_ctx)` and -1, and this bogus `->ctx_len`
will then be passed to an LSM module as a buffer length, causing LSM
modules to perform out-of-bounds accesses.

The following reproducer will demonstrate this under ASAN (if AppArmor is
loaded as an LSM):
```
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>

struct lsm_ctx {
uint64_t id;
uint64_t flags;
uint64_t len;
uint64_t ctx_len;
char ctx[];
};

int main(void) {
size_t size = sizeof(struct lsm_ctx);
struct lsm_ctx *ctx = malloc(size);
ctx->id = 104/*LSM_ID_APPARMOR*/;
ctx->flags = 0;
ctx->len = size;
ctx->ctx_len = -sizeof(struct lsm_ctx);
syscall(
460/*__NR_lsm_set_self_attr*/,
/*attr=*/ 100/*LSM_ATTR_CURRENT*/,
/*ctx=*/ ctx,
/*size=*/ size,
/*flags=*/ 0
);
}
```

(I'm including an ASAN splat in the patch notes sent to the list.)
