Description Young 2019-05-16 11:59:02 UTC
There is a kernel stack disclosure vulnerability in function freebsd32_swapcontext of sys/arm64/arm64/freebsd32_machdep.c.


int
freebsd32_swapcontext(struct thread *td, struct freebsd32_swapcontext_args *uap)
{
        ucontext32_t uc;
        int ret;

        if (uap->oucp == NULL || uap->ucp == NULL)
                ret = EINVAL;
        else {
+               bzero(&uc, sizeof(uc));
                get_mcontext32(td, &uc.uc_mcontext, GET_MC_CLEAR_RET);
                PROC_LOCK(td->td_proc);
                uc.uc_sigmask = td->td_sigmask;
                PROC_UNLOCK(td->td_proc);
                ret = copyout(&uc, uap->oucp, UC32_COPY_SIZE);
                if (ret == 0) {
                        ret = copyin(uap->ucp, &uc, UC32_COPY_SIZE);
                        if (ret == 0) {
                                ret = set_mcontext32(td, &uc.uc_mcontext);
                                kern_sigprocmask(td, SIG_SETMASK,
                                                &uc.uc_sigmask, NULL, 0);
                        }
                }
        }
        return (ret);
}

There is no initialization in else branch, which can lead to leaking stack information to user space. This is the vulnerability that are same with CVE-2018-17155 which was fixed in https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/ca2c73670f229fe64818fd64c8cdd5b517912966.

compat32 (r343004) was not merged to stable/12 so MFC not required

Is the "MFC after: 3 days" in base r347689 incorrect, or does that just refer to a direct to releng/* merge so SA/other purposes?

You could say that. The original change that introduced the problem was never merged back to stable/12 so this one can't be merged.
