Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Fix integer overflow in argument calculation for bpf_map_area_alloc

In 32-bit architecture, the result of sizeof() is a 32-bit integer so
the expression becomes the multiplication between 2 32-bit integer which
can potentially leads to integer overflow. As a result,
bpf_map_area_alloc() allocates less memory than needed.

Fix this by casting 1 operand to u64.

Some quick thoughts:
* Should this have a Fixes tag?
* Seems like there are quite a few similar calls scattered around
(cpumap, etc.). Did you audit these as well?
* I'd prefer a calloc style version of bpf_map_area_alloc although
that might conflict with Fixes tag.

Ok, I will add Fixes tag in later version patch.

I spotted another bug after re-auditting. In hashtab, there ares 2 places using
the same calls

static struct bpf_map *htab_map_alloc(union bpf_attr *attr)
{
/* ... snip ... */
if (htab->n_buckets == 0 ||
htab->n_buckets > U32_MAX / sizeof(struct bucket))
goto free_htab;

htab->buckets = bpf_map_area_alloc(htab->n_buckets *
sizeof(struct bucket),
htab->map.numa_node);
}

This is safe because of the above check.

static int prealloc_init(struct bpf_htab *htab)
{
u32 num_entries = htab->map.max_entries;
htab->elems = bpf_map_area_alloc(htab->elem_size * num_entries,
htab->map.numa_node);
}

This is not safe since there is no limit check in elem_size.

In cpumap,

static struct bpf_map *cpu_map_alloc(union bpf_attr *attr)
{
cmap->cpu_map = bpf_map_area_alloc(cmap->map.max_entries *
sizeof(struct bpf_cpu_map_entry *),
cmap->map.numa_node);
}

I think this is safe because max_entries is not permitted to be larger than NR_CPUS.

In stackmap, there is a place that I'm not very sure about

static int prealloc_elems_and_freelist(struct bpf_stack_map *smap)
{
u32 elem_size = sizeof(struct stack_map_bucket) + smap->map.value_size;
smap->elems = bpf_map_area_alloc(elem_size * smap->map.max_entries,
smap->map.numa_node);
}

This is called after another bpf_map_area_alloc in stack_map_alloc(). In the first
bpf_map_area_alloc() the argument is calculated in an u64 variable; so if in the second
one, there is an integer overflow then the first one must be called with size > 4GB. I
think the first one will probably fail (I am not sure about the actual limit of vmalloc()),
so the second one might not be called.

Overall, I think it is error prone in this pattern, maybe we should use typecasting in all
similar calls or make a comment why we don't use typecasting. As I see typecasting is not so
expensive and we can typecast the sizeof() operand so this change only affect 32-bit
architecture.

> * I'd prefer a calloc style version of bpf_map_area_alloc although

Yes, I think the calloc style will prevent this kind of integer overflow bug.

Thank you,

So sorry but I rechecked and saw this bug in hashtab has been fixed with commit

Thank you,

Yes.

I would sanity check this as well. Looks like k*alloc()/v*alloc() call sites typically
use array_size() which returns SIZE_MAX on overflow, 610b15c50e86 ("overflow.h: Add
allocation size calculation helpers").

Hi,

I almost forget about this patch, I have checked the bpf_map_area_alloc
in in stackmap.c and I can see that integer overflow cannot happen in
this stackmap.c case.

In stack_map_alloc(),

u64 cost;
...
cost = n_buckets * sizeof(struct stack_map_bucket *) + sizeof(*smap);
cost += n_buckets * (value_size + sizeof(struct stack_map_bucket));
smap = bpf_map_area_alloc(cost, bpf_map_attr_numa_node(attr)); (1)
...
prealloc_elems_and_freelist(smap);

In prealloc_elems_and_freelist(),

u32 elem_size = sizeof(struct stack_map_bucket) + smap->map.value_size;
smap->elems = bpf_map_area_alloc(elem_size * smap->map.max_entries,
smap->map.numa_node); (2)

Argument calculation at (1) is safe. Argument calculation at (2) can
potentially result in an integer overflow in 32-bit architecture.
However, if the integer overflow happens, it means argument at (1) must
be 2**32, which cannot pass the SIZE_MAX check in __bpf_map_area_alloc()

In __bpf_map_area_alloc()

if (size >= SIZE_MAX)
return NULL;

So I think the original patch has fixed instances of this bug pattern.

Thank you,
Quang Minh.
