🇰🇷 한글 설명
Linux 커널의 DCTCP TCP 혼잡 제어 알고리즘에서 dctcp_shift_g 모듈 파라미터에 대한 입력 검증이 부족하여 발생하는 shift-out-of-bounds 취약성입니다. 공격자가 /sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g에 과도하게 큰 값(예: 100)을 입력하면 32비트 정수 shift 연산에서 오버플로우가 발생합니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
리눅스 커널이 TCP 성능 설정값을 검증하지 않아 잘못된 값이 입력될 수 있습니다. 이로 인해 계산 오류가 발생하여 시스템이 크래시하거나 비정상 동작할 수 있습니다.
🇺🇸 원문 (English)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: Fix shift-out-of-bounds in dctcp_update_alpha().
In dctcp_update_alpha(), we use a module parameter dctcp_shift_g
as follows:
alpha -= min_not_zero(alpha, alpha >> dctcp_shift_g);
...
delivered_ce <<= (10 - dctcp_shift_g);
It seems syzkaller started fuzzing module parameters and triggered
shift-out-of-bounds [0] by setting 100 to dctcp_shift_g:
memcpy((void*)0x20000080,
"/sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g\000", 47);
res = syscall(__NR_openat, /*fd=*/0xffffffffffffff9cul, /*file=*/0x20000080ul,
/*flags=*/2ul, /*mode=*/0ul);
memcpy((void*)0x20000000, "100\000", 4);
syscall(__NR_write, /*fd=*/r[0], /*val=*/0x20000000ul, /*len=*/4ul);
Let's limit the max value of dctcp_shift_g by param_set_uint_minmax().
With this patch:
# echo 10 > /sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g
# cat /sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g
10
# echo 11 > /sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
