In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Disable preemption in __bpf_get_stack
get_perf_callchain() returns a per-CPU perf_callchain_entry buffer and
releases its recursion slot via put_callchain_entry() before returning,
so nothing keeps the entry reserved while __bpf_get_stack() consumes
it below.
A preemptible BPF program (e.g. a non-sleepable raw tracepoint program
on a PREEMPT kernel, which runs under migrate_disable() but not
preempt_disable()) can be scheduled out between obtaining the entry
and the copy. Another task scheduled on the same CPU then reuses the
same per-CPU buffer and overwrites trace->nr with a larger value.
copy_len is then computed from the inflated trace->nr and can exceed
the caller's buffer, causing an out-of-bounds write in the memcpy()
and in the build_id path.
The rcu_read_lock() taken here alone does not prevent this. It is
only taken on the may_fault path, and under CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU it does
not disable preemption; it merely keeps perf's callchain buffer array
alive (freed via call_rcu()) and does nothing to stop another task
from reusing the entry.
Disable preemption around obtaining the callchain entry and copying
it into the caller's buffer, so the entry cannot be reused underneath
us and trace->nr stays bounded by max_depth. Build ID resolution may
fault and is therefore deferred until after preemption is re-enabled;
by then the instruction pointers have already been copied into buf,
so it operates only on that private copy. Note, preempt_disable() also
subsumes the buffer-lifetime guarantee the rcu_read_lock() provided,
since a preempt-disabled section is an RCU read-side critical section
for the callchain buffers' call_rcu() reclaim.
