🇰🇷 한글 설명
Linux 커널의 IB/hfi1 드라이버에서 PIO_CRED 크레딧 반환 mmap 처리 시 잘못된 포인터 연산과 페이지 오프셋 계산 오류가 발견되었습니다. 이로 인해 잘못된 메모리 주소가 매핑되어 커널 패닉(Oops)이 발생하거나, 잘못된 크레딧 페이지가 매핑되어 데이터 전송이 중단되는 문제가 발생할 수 있습니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
컴퓨터의 핵심 부품인 커널이 메모리 주소를 계산할 때 수학적 실수를 하여 시스템이 갑자기 멈추거나 오류가 발생하는 보안 취약점입니다. 잘못된 위치를 참조하게 되어 시스템 전체가 불안정해질 수 있습니다.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/hfi1: Fix the PIO_CRED credit-return mmap
hfi1_file_mmap()'s PIO_CRED case must hand user space the single
credit-return page that holds this context's entry. That page is the
second or third page of the per-node credit-return allocation once the
hardware send context index reaches 64 or 128, so the failure below is
intermittent: when the entry lands on the first page the offset is zero
and everything works.
Two things are wrong.
First, cr_page_offset is a byte offset but .va is a struct
credit_return *, so adding it is pointer arithmetic and scales the offset
by sizeof(struct credit_return) == 64. memvirt then lands 256 KiB or
512 KiB past a 10240-byte allocation. With an IOMMU translating, that
address is inside the vmalloc range but in no vm_area, so
dma_mmap_coherent() -> iommu_dma_mmap() finds no pages, vmalloc_to_pfn()
returns page_to_pfn(NULL), and remap_pfn_range() installs a frame above
MAXPHYADDR. The first user read then takes:
psm2_ep_open_pr: Corrupted page table at address 7a14d007e000
PGD 800000013886a067 P4D 800000013886a067 PUD 13886b067 PMD 13886c067
PTE 800049168e911235
Oops: Bad pagetable: 000d [#1] SMP PTI
Second, and still wrong once the arithmetic is corrected,
dma_mmap_coherent() describes a whole coherent buffer and selects the
page within it with vma->vm_pgoff. Offsetting cpu_addr has no effect:
for a vmap'd allocation iommu_dma_mmap() uses cpu_addr only to locate the
vm_area and then maps pages[vm_pgoff], which hfi1_file_mmap() has just
set to 0. User space therefore always receives the first credit-return
page, every credit read is for the wrong context, and send PIO stalls
forever.
Use the DMA API as intended: pass the base of the allocation with its
full length and select the page with vm_pgoff. A separate length is
needed because memlen must keep describing the VMA for the existing size
check. The dma-direct path stays correct as well, since dma_direct_mmap()
adds the same vm_pgoff to the base pfn.
Tested on a Dell T7610 (Xeon E5-2650 v2, Intel IOMMU in DMA-FQ mode)
against a Threadripper PRO 3995WX peer, both Omni-Path 100. Before this
change psm2_ep_open() Oopses the kernel; with only the arithmetic
corrected psm2_ep_open() succeeds but any transfer that uses send PIO
hangs, PSM2_SDMA=2 (send PIO disabled) completing normally while
PSM2_SDMA=0 (send PIO only) hangs every time. With this change send PIO,
send DMA and the default mixed mode all work.
