If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Daniel Borkmann commit d4c5efdb97773f59a2b711754ca0953f24516739 upstream. zatimend has reported that in his environment (3.16/gcc4.8.3/corei7) memset() calls which clear out sensitive data in extract_{buf,entropy, entropy_user}() in random driver are being optimized away by gcc. Add a helper memzero_explicit() (similarly as explicit_bzero() variants) that can be used in such cases where a variable with sensitive data is being cleared out in the end. Other use cases might also be in crypto code. [ I have put this into lib/string.c though, as it's always built-in and doesn't need any dependencies then. ] Fixes kernel bugzilla: 82041 Reported-by: zatimend@hotmail.co.uk Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Cc: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/char/random.c | 10 +++++----- include/linux/string.h | 5 +++-- lib/string.c | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/char/random.c +++ b/drivers/char/random.c @@ -933,8 +933,8 @@ static void extract_buf(struct entropy_s * pool while mixing, and hash one final time. */ sha_transform(hash.w, extract, workspace); - memset(extract, 0, sizeof(extract)); - memset(workspace, 0, sizeof(workspace)); + memzero_explicit(extract, sizeof(extract)); + memzero_explicit(workspace, sizeof(workspace)); /* * In case the hash function has some recognizable output @@ -957,7 +957,7 @@ static void extract_buf(struct entropy_s } memcpy(out, &hash, EXTRACT_SIZE); - memset(&hash, 0, sizeof(hash)); + memzero_explicit(&hash, sizeof(hash)); } static ssize_t extract_entropy(struct entropy_store *r, void *buf, @@ -1005,7 +1005,7 @@ static ssize_t extract_entropy(struct en } /* Wipe data just returned from memory */ - memset(tmp, 0, sizeof(tmp)); + memzero_explicit(tmp, sizeof(tmp)); return ret; } @@ -1043,7 +1043,7 @@ static ssize_t extract_entropy_user(stru } /* Wipe data just returned from memory */ - memset(tmp, 0, sizeof(tmp)); + memzero_explicit(tmp, sizeof(tmp)); return ret; } --- a/include/linux/string.h +++ b/include/linux/string.h @@ -129,7 +129,7 @@ int bprintf(u32 *bin_buf, size_t size, c #endif extern ssize_t memory_read_from_buffer(void *to, size_t count, loff_t *ppos, - const void *from, size_t available); + const void *from, size_t available); /** * strstarts - does @str start with @prefix? @@ -141,7 +141,8 @@ static inline bool strstarts(const char return strncmp(str, prefix, strlen(prefix)) == 0; } -extern size_t memweight(const void *ptr, size_t bytes); +size_t memweight(const void *ptr, size_t bytes); +void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count); /** * kbasename - return the last part of a pathname. --- a/lib/string.c +++ b/lib/string.c @@ -586,6 +586,22 @@ void *memset(void *s, int c, size_t coun EXPORT_SYMBOL(memset); #endif +/** + * memzero_explicit - Fill a region of memory (e.g. sensitive + * keying data) with 0s. + * @s: Pointer to the start of the area. + * @count: The size of the area. + * + * memzero_explicit() doesn't need an arch-specific version as + * it just invokes the one of memset() implicitly. + */ +void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count) +{ + memset(s, 0, count); + OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR(s); +} +EXPORT_SYMBOL(memzero_explicit); + #ifndef __HAVE_ARCH_MEMCPY /** * memcpy - Copy one area of memory to another -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
