commit b582ef5c53040c5feef4c96a8f9585b6831e2441 upstream.

Do not clobber the buffer space passed from `search_binary_handler' and
originally preloaded by `prepare_binprm' with the executable's file
header by overwriting it with its interpreter's file header.  Instead
keep the buffer space intact and directly use the data structure locally
allocated for the interpreter's file header, fixing a bug introduced in
2.1.14 with loadable module support (linux-mips.org commit beb11695
[Import of Linux/MIPS 2.1.14], predating kernel.org repo's history).
Adjust the amount of data read from the interpreter's file accordingly.

This was not an issue before loadable module support, because back then
`load_elf_binary' was executed only once for a given ELF executable,
whether the function succeeded or failed.

With loadable module support supported and enabled, upon a failure of
`load_elf_binary' -- which may for example be caused by architecture
code rejecting an executable due to a missing hardware feature requested
in the file header -- a module load is attempted and then the function
reexecuted by `search_binary_handler'.  With the executable's file
header replaced with its interpreter's file header the executable can
then be erroneously accepted in this subsequent attempt.

<title>mm: fold arch_randomize_brk into ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE</title>

<content type='text'>
The arch_randomize_brk() function is used on several architectures,
even those that don't support ET_DYN ASLR. To avoid bulky extern/#define
tricks, consolidate the support under CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE for
the architectures that support it, while still handling CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK.

<title>mm: split ET_DYN ASLR from mmap ASLR</title>

This fixes the "offset2lib" weakness in ASLR for arm, arm64, mips,
powerpc, and x86.  The problem is that if there is a leak of ASLR from
the executable (ET_DYN), it means a leak of shared library offset as
well (mmap), and vice versa.  Further details and a PoC of this attack
is available here:

  http://cybersecurity.upv.es/attacks/offset2lib/offset2lib.html

With this patch, a PIE linked executable (ET_DYN) has its own ASLR
region:

  7fffb377d000-7fffb377f000 r-xp  ...  [vdso]

The change is to add a call the newly created arch_mmap_rnd() into the
ELF loader for handling ET_DYN ASLR in a separate region from mmap ASLR,
as was already done on s390.  Removes CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE,
which is no longer needed.

The change is to add a call the newly created arch_mmap_rnd() into the
ELF loader for handling ET_DYN ASLR in a separate region from mmap ASLR,
as was already done on s390.  Removes CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE,
which is no longer needed.

<title>fs/binfmt_elf.c: fix bug in loading of PIE binaries</title>

<id>a87938b2e246b81b4fb713edb371a9fa3c5c3c86</id>
<content type='text'>
With CONFIG_ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE enabled, and a normal top-down
address allocation strategy, load_elf_binary() will attempt to map a PIE
binary into an address range immediately below mm-&gt;mmap_base.

Unfortunately, load_elf_ binary() does not take account of the need to
allocate sufficient space for the entire binary which means that, while
the first PT_LOAD segment is mapped below mm-&gt;mmap_base, the subsequent
PT_LOAD segment(s) end up being mapped above mm-&gt;mmap_base into the are
that is supposed to be the "gap" between the stack and the binary.

Since the size of the "gap" on x86_64 is only guaranteed to be 128MB this
means that binaries with large data segments &gt; 128MB can end up mapping
part of their data segment over their stack resulting in corruption of the
stack (and the data segment once the binary starts to run).

Any PIE binary with a data segment &gt; 128MB is vulnerable to this although
address randomization means that the actual gap between the stack and the
end of the binary is normally greater than 128MB.  The larger the data
segment of the binary the higher the probability of failure.

Fix this by calculating the total size of the binary in the same way as
load_elf_interp().

<title>x86, mm/ASLR: Fix stack randomization on 64-bit systems</title>

<id>4e7c22d447bb6d7e37bfe39ff658486ae78e8d77</id>
<content type='text'>
The issue is that the stack for processes is not properly randomized on
64 bit architectures due to an integer overflow.

The affected function is randomize_stack_top() in file
"fs/binfmt_elf.c":

  static unsigned long randomize_stack_top(unsigned long stack_top)
  {
           unsigned int random_variable = 0;

           if ((current-&gt;flags &amp; PF_RANDOMIZE) &amp;&amp;
                   !(current-&gt;personality &amp; ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE)) {
                   random_variable = get_random_int() &amp; STACK_RND_MASK;
                   random_variable &lt;&lt;= PAGE_SHIFT;
           }
           return PAGE_ALIGN(stack_top) + random_variable;
           return PAGE_ALIGN(stack_top) - random_variable;
  }

Note that, it declares the "random_variable" variable as "unsigned int".
Since the result of the shifting operation between STACK_RND_MASK (which
is 0x3fffff on x86_64, 22 bits) and PAGE_SHIFT (which is 12 on x86_64):

	  random_variable &lt;&lt;= PAGE_SHIFT;

then the two leftmost bits are dropped when storing the result in the
"random_variable". This variable shall be at least 34 bits long to hold
the (22+12) result.

These two dropped bits have an impact on the entropy of process stack.
Concretely, the total stack entropy is reduced by four: from 2^28 to
2^30 (One fourth of expected entropy).

This patch restores back the entropy by correcting the types involved
in the operations in the functions randomize_stack_top() and
stack_maxrandom_size().

The successful fix can be tested with:

  $ for i in `seq 1 10`; do cat /proc/self/maps | grep stack; done
  7ffeda566000-7ffeda587000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
  7fff5a332000-7fff5a353000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
  7ffcdb7a1000-7ffcdb7c2000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
  7ffd5e2c4000-7ffd5e2e5000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
  ...

Once corrected, the leading bytes should be between 7ffc and 7fff,
rather than always being 7fff.

<title>fs/binfmt_elf.c: fix internal inconsistency relating to vma dump size</title>

vma_dump_size() has been used several times on actual dumper and it is
supposed to return the same value for the same vma.  But vma_dump_size()
could return different values for same vma.

The known problem case is concurrent shared memory removal.  If a vma is
used for a shared memory and that shared memory is removed between
writing program header and dumping vma memory, this will result in a
dump file which is internally consistent.

To fix the problem, we set baseline to get dump size and store the size
into vma_filesz and always use the same vma dump size which is stored in
vma_filsz.  The consistnecy with reality is not actually guranteed, but
it's tolerable since that is fully consistent with base line.

The known problem case is concurrent shared memory removal.  If a vma is
used for a shared memory and that shared memory is removed between
writing program header and dumping vma memory, this will result in a
dump file which is internally consistent.

To fix the problem, we set baseline to get dump size and store the size
into vma_filesz and always use the same vma dump size which is stored in
vma_filsz.  The consistnecy with reality is not actually guranteed, but
it's tolerable since that is fully consistent with base line.
