Subject: [PATCH] infiniband: core: fix information leak to userland

Structure ib_uverbs_qp_attr is copied to userland with allmost all
fields uninitialized (140 bytes on x86). It leads to leaking of
contents of kernel stack memory.

I don't think most of the fields are uninitialized... we have:

memset(&qp_attr, 0, sizeof qp_attr);

and then later on,

ib_copy_qp_attr_to_user(&resp, &qp_attr);

which actually does initialize almost all of the fields in resp. The
things that are missing are clearing out the reserved fields in the
structures, and also resp.qp_state never gets set.

I would suggest adding code to clear the reserved fields of structures
to ib_copy_qp_attr_to_user() and ib_copy_ah_attr_to_user(), since this
will fix what looks to be the same problem in ucma_init_qp_attr() (in
drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c).

Sean, what is intended for qp_state handling here? It seems
ib_copy_qp_attr_to_user() should either clear it or set it to something
sensible.

I'm not sure what the original intent was, but both libibcm and librdmacm provide the qp_state as input to the init_qp_attr calls. It doesn't end up mattering if the kernel returns the value because the corresponding call in libibverbs (ibv_copy_qp_attr_from_kern) doesn't copy out the qp_state. So, the value that was originally specified ends up being used. The flow looks something like this:

qp_attr.qp_state = INIT;
cmd.qp_state = qp_attr.qp_state;
write(..cmd..);
ibv_copy_qp_attr_from_kern(&qp_attr, cmd.resp)

I agree that it makes sense for ib_copy_qp_attr_to_user() to set the qp_state. Deciding what to do in libibverbs seems more troublesome.

Uh, sorry, I was over-pessimistic here...

Also part of grh field and ib_uverbs_ah_attr->reserved. How do you see
this variant of zeroing? (I don't know whether these fields may be
needed for another callers.)

I believe we want ib_copy_qp_attr_to_user() to assign resp->qp_state = qp_attr->qp_state

We only need to set dst->grh.reserved = 0. The other fields are assigned.

Subject: [PATCH v2] infiniband: core: fix information leak to userspace

ib_ucm_init_qp_attr() and ucma_init_qp_attr() pass struct ib_uverbs_qp_attr
with reserved, qp_state, {ah_attr,alt_ah_attr}{reserved,->grh.reserved}
fields uninitialized to copy_to_user(). It leads to leaking of contents of
kernel stack memory to userspace.
