[PATCH 00/16] netfilter: remove kernel pointers from uapi structs

Many of the uapi structs in the netfilter subsystem contain kernel pointers which cause alignment issues when the kernel parses netlink messages. Change these pointers to use unsigned longs, and cast to a pointer when used inside the kernel.

[linux-morello][PATCH 0/2] morello: enable wireguard

by Joshua Lant

Hi, This series of patches enables the use of the Wireguard VPN and all assocaited tools required for running wireguard-tools' test script. Wireguard's test script (netns.sh) runs to completion using purecap compiled: wireguard-tools, iproute2, iputils (ping/ping6), iptables, nftables, libnftnl, libmnl, libelf, argp-standalone, musl-obstack, fts, libjansson. Packages used in netns.sh currently not tested in purecap: ncat, iperf3. The bulk of the changes required are additions to the kernel config, with a fix for a bug found in iptables. There is an alignment issue at the user/kernel boundary in xtables with capabilities, encountered in the macro XT_ALIGN, used in the function xt_check_target (with the resulting message indicating size of (kernel) and (user) not matching). This bug occurs when running certain iptables commands in the test script. e.g. iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 10.0.0.0/24 -j SNAT --to 10.0.0.1 This is my first patch to the kernel so please forgive me if anything is drastically wrong. I have tried to follow the format of others on here...

[RFC PATCH 00/13] Compartmentalising eBPF with Morello

by Zachary Leaf

RFC April 2024 Arm Ltd Zachary Leaf Compartmentalising eBPF with Morello Abstract This document describes how a hybrid compartment enabled by the Morello architecture/CHERI can be used to sandbox execution of JIT'd eBPF code in the Linux kernel. Since Morello is hardware based it can provide much more lightweight compartmentalisation, isolation and sandboxing, compared to other pure software approaches. Further, it can offer greater guarantees of memory safety when combined with the existing security model used by eBPF. Where previous verifier bypass exploits in eBPF would result in arbitrary kernel read/writes and privilege escalation, these attacks would instead result in hardware exceptions due to out of bounds memory accesses. RFC patchset The attached patch series is a first draft enabling compartmentalisation of JIT'd eBPF using a hybrid model. Restricted/Executive mode is used for domain transitions. This is a working proof of concept and outlines a general approach and technique to isolate eBPF. Some of the limitations and further work required is found below. In particular one major technical problem remains unsolved, and further work is needed on this. The patch series is also available as a branch at: https://git.morello-project.org/morello/kernel/linux/-/tree/morello/bpf_com… What is eBPF eBPF is a relatively new kernel feature that allows extending the operating system, much like kernel modules. Compared with kernel modules, eBPF programs are meant to come with much stronger safety and reliability guarantees. eBPF programs also run differently to kernel modules in that eBPF is its own unique architecture and byte code that runs inside a virtual machine in the kernel. Programs can either be run via the eBPF interpreter, or JIT compiled into native code. Since by design eBPF programs run in the kernel context, they're fast - avoiding syscalls and context switches, and calling directly into the kernel. This is important as eBPF programs are event based and may run frequently, for instance on every incoming packet. There are now many use cases for eBPF, from the original - writing complex packet filtering logic, to live tracing, monitoring and security programs. Threat Model eBPF has had a number of CVEs[1] in recent years. The current security model relies on accurate analysis by the eBPF verifier, a pre-runtime static analyser that checks if programs are safe to run. As evidenced by the number of CVEs relating to errors in the verifier[2], this kind of verification does not currently offer a strong guarantee of safety. The verification is not a formal one, rather a long list of checks. With the complexity of modern eBPF, it is likely the verifier could not ever be provably safe, without significant restrictions on the capabilities of eBPF itself. Further details about the verifier and attacks against it can be found in the section below. Since eBPF runs in the kernel context, a large number of these CVEs therefore allow arbitrary kernel read/writes leading to local privilege escalation. This combined with Spectre speculation attacks[3][4] has resulted in the kernel and all major Linux distributions disabling unprivileged eBPF execution by default[5]. Many eBPF maintainers have also deprecated any new efforts to support unprivileged execution due to the difficulty securing it[6][7]. The CAP_BPF permission was introduced in v5.8 to attempt to limit possible damage from the previously required CAP_SYS_ADMIN permission and to prevent "pointer leaks and arbitrary kernel memory access"[8]. While this is an improvement over the wide capabilities granted by CAP_SYS_ADMIN, it remains vulnerable to verifier bypasses and hence privilege escalation from CAP_BPF to root. Using Morello could therefore strengthen the CAP_BPF model as well as allow safer usage of unprivileged eBPF. This includes re-enabling several existing use cases e.g. user socket filtering and access control, as well as open up the possibility for new use cases, such as eBPF seccomp filters[9][10]. eBPF Verifier ┌────────┐ ┌────────────────┐ BPF_PROG_LOAD ┌─►│ JIT ├─►│[native aarch64]│ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ │ └────────┘ └────────────────┘ │ [C] ├─►│ clang ├─►│ [eBPF] ├─►│verifier├─┤ └────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘ │ ┌─────────────┐ └─►│ interpreter │ └─────────────┘ A simplified flow of writing and loading eBPF in the kernel is as follows: 1. Compile a subset of C with clang -target=bpf into eBPF byte code 2. Request to load the program into the kernel 3. eBPF byte code is run through the verifier - The verifier steps through all possible execution paths and instructions, keeping track of state - Control flow checks (e.g. no infinite loops, no unreachable instructions) - Individual instruction checks, both static (e.g. divide by zero) + dynamic (out of range accesses, stack + register checks) - No leaking kernel ptrs to memory shared with userspace (e.g. through eBPF maps) etc... - Once all checks are passed, code is determined/marked as "safe" 4. eBPF is then loaded into the kernel, either JIT compiled or as raw eBPF bytecode, ready to run in the kernel context when triggered Both JIT'd programs or interpreted programs are run from a memory area marked as executable inside the kernel address space. On arm64[11], x86 and some other archs this area is also set to RO. The rules of the verifier do not allow bpf programs to access any arbitrary kernel memory, they are restricted to calling: - other bpf programs - access to limited + approved kernel memory info and data only via bpf helper functions - access to limited and explicitly allowed kernel functions marked as kfuncs Attempted accesses outside these bounds should be caught by the verifier before a bpf program is loaded into the kernel. kernel memory ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ executable memory (RO) │ │ ┌──────────┐ ┌────────┬─────────┬────────┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ KFUNCS │ allowed │ BPF │ │ BPF │ │ │ │ │◄─────────┤ PROG ◄─────────► PROG │ │ │ └──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ ├────────┘ └────────┤ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ┌--------┐ │ │ │ ┌-----------┐ │ load denied ' ' │ │ │ ' arbitrary '◄----X──────────────' BPF ' │ │ │ ' r/w ' │ by verifier ' PROG ' │ │ │ └-----------┘ │ ' ' │ │ │ │ └--------┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ┌─────────┐◄───┐ │ ┌────────┐ │ │ │ └─────────┘ ├───────────┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ BPF │◄──┼────┤ BPF │ │ │ │ ┌─────────┐◄───┤ HELPERS │ │ │ PROG │ │ │ │ └─────────┘ └───────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ └────┴────────┴─────────────┘ │ │ │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Verifier Bypass Attacks on the verifier generally share a common theme - tricking the verifier into marking unsafe code as safe. This has been done a number of ways, generally by faulty control flow graph logic in the verifier[12], abusing type bounds[13], adding unsafe offsets to pointers[14] and others[2]. Since bpf programs exist in the kernel address space, once the program has passed the verifier and been loaded into the kernel, there are no further barriers or run time checks on kernel memory accesses. This results in arbitrary read/writes usually leading to privilege escalation. kernel memory ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ executable memory (RO) │ │ ┌──────────┐ ┌────────┬─────────┬────────┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ KFUNCS │ allowed │ BPF │ │ BPF │ │ │ │ │◄─────────┤ PROG ◄─────────► PROG │ │ │ └──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ ├────────┘ └────────┤ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ┌────────┐ │ │ │ ┌───────────┐ │ verifier │ │ │ │ │ │ arbitrary │◄─────┼──────────────┤ BPF │ │ │ │ │ r/w │ │ bypass │ PROG │ │ │ │ └───────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ┌─────────┐◄───┐ │ ┌────────┐ │ │ │ └─────────┘ ├───────────┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ BPF │◄──┼────┤ BPF │ │ │ │ ┌─────────┐◄───┤ HELPERS │ │ │ PROG │ │ │ │ └─────────┘ └───────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ └────┴────────┴─────────────┘ │ │ │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ This ability to call directly into the kernel is somewhat by design. Any mechanism such as putting programs in a different address space would result in additional latency from context switches. When running as packet filtering code for example, this additional latency may be unacceptable. In theory, Morello compartments provide a much more lightweight way to enforce memory isolation. Depending on the performance impact (yet to be determined) this compartmentalisation method could be deployed only on some eBPF program types as determined by the sysadmin -or- eBPF wide to provide robustness to the overall system. Hybrid Mode Morello supports two execution modes - 'hybrid' mode and 'pure capability' aka 'purecap' mode. In purecap mode, all pointers are capabilities and accesses are checked against the specified bounds and permissions within that capability attached to each address. In hybrid mode, pointers remain 64-bits unless specifically annotated with the `__capability` flag in code, resulting in a mix of capability pointers and standard pointers. Importantly for hybrid mode, and perhaps counter-intuitively, capability checks are still made for all normal, standard non-capability pointer memory accesses. A standard pointer will derive a capability from the Default Data Capability (DDC) and memory accesses will be checked against that. Similarly, the Program Counter is extended with a capability (PCC). When the instruction at the PCC is fetched for decoding and execution it's checked against the corresponding capability. Any access out of bounds, permission or tag issue results in a capability fault exception. One benefit of this is existing aarch64 programs can benefit from capability checks without having to recompile that program to use capabilities. In hybrid mode, by setting the DDC register of the processor we can limit memory accesses of all normal pointers. By setting a capability in PCC we can limit what code can be executed. This provides us with a simple mechanism to form the basis of a hybrid compartment. For more information on hybrid mode see the Morello Examples repo on GitLab[15]. Hybrid Compartment Being able to restrict and run existing aarch64 code with Morello maps nicely onto the arm64 eBPF JIT engine. The eBPF JIT converts eBPF instructions into plain aarch64 assembly, which can be restricted using the features of hybrid mode to limit memory access and code execution. The Morello Linux kernel on which these changes are based is also a hybrid kernel (supporting a pure capability userspace)[16]. This is therefore a relatively simple approach with fairly minimal changes required. A rough model of compartmentalising eBPF with hybrid mode looks like the below. The bounds of DDC and PCC are restricted to a memory area forming the hybrid compartment, allowing intra-bpf calls.

In the case of eBPF, the majority of code and accesses are internal. There are no library calls and each program type has strict limited access to a small number of appropriate bpf helpers and kfuncs that are pre-defined in the verifier[17][18]. eBPF therefore turns out to be a good use case for this type of compartment. Since the accesses outside the compartment are limited and well defined this should allow for easier domain transitions between the compartment and the kernel. Moving the eBPF stack Currently JIT'd eBPF reuses the kernel stack. In order for the compartmentalised eBPF program to access the stack, a separate stack must be allocated inside the compartment. This also allows for clean separation and isolation of kernel and eBPF stacks. Allocation and free'ing of this new stack is done at the same time as the memory for the JIT'd binary image; this way the eBPF stack lives for the lifetime of the eBPF program. Domain Transitions via Restricted/Executive mode The Restricted/Executive mode of the Morello hardware provides a simple way to handle domain transitions aka switching between the kernel and the hybrid compartment. Restricted mode introduces banked alternative registers RDDC_EL0, RCSP_EL0 and RCTPIDR_EL0, controlled via the EXECUTIVE bit in PCC[19]. Executive mode has access to the Restricted regs, but not vice versa. Hence the compartment manager, in this case the kernel, can setup a compartment in the Restricted regs, such as providing a new stack pointer in RSCP_EL0, before atomically switching execution to Restricted mode. Switching into Restricted mode is done via a BRR/BLRR instruction[20] on a sealed (non-modifiable capability) function pointer with the EXECUTIVE bit unset. Atomically returning back to Executive mode can be done simply with RET(CLR), where CLR is a sealed link register capability with the EXECUTIVE bit set. For further details about Restricted/Executive mode see the Morello Examples repo on Gitlab[21] and the Morello Architecture Reference Manual[19]. Hybrid Compartment Structure The RFC patches implement a hybrid compartment structure roughly as below. Every JIT'd eBPF program is placed between a prologue/epilogue as generated by the bpf_jit_comp.c:build_{prologue,epilogue} functions. ┌─── prologue │1 | │2 | executive mode │3 | │4 brr(fnp)─┐ | // fnp=5 clr=y │5 ▼---┼----------- │6 | ├─── | main │7 | │8 | │9 | restricted mode │. | │. | │. | ├─── | epilogue │x ret(clr)─┐ | // clr=y │y ▼---┼----------- │z | │. | executive mode │. | └─── The prologue is comprised of two parts. The first part labeled above as 1,2,3 is mostly adhering to the Arm64 Procedure Call Standard (AAPCS) e.g. preserving the FP, LR and regs r19-r28 on the original kernel stack. After this, we setup the compartment. The JIT compiler does not provide encoding for Morello instructions, so this is done by branching to bpf_enter_sandbox(). bpf_enter_sandbox() sets up the Restricted mode regs which includes setting the new stack pointer RSCP_EL0 and restricting RDDC_EL0 as appropriate. To restrict the PCC the sealed function pointer (FNP) used as the target of BRR instruction has its bounds and permissions restricted. fnp points back into the prologue (labeled above as '5') where we can continue with setting up the eBPF stack in Restricted mode after we've atomically switched stacks to the new value we put in RCSP_EL0. Before switching execution to Restricted via BRR(FNP), we manually create a sealed capability link register (CLR) to point to the instruction (labeled above as 'y') near the top of the epilogue. Since the JIT compiler does multiple passes, we're able to calculate this as a fixed offset. Since we don't yet know where the JIT code will be loaded, the CLR can be described as a PCC relative offset using an ADR instruction. Having the EXECUTIVE bit set on CLR switches execution back to Executive mode when used as the target of RET. Since not all registers are banked, after the transition from Executive to Restricted, care must be taken to sanitise all general purpose regs to avoid leaking kernel regs to potentially untrusted eBPF code in main. Exception Handling Usually kernel exceptions are handled by el1h_64_xyz_handler() where 'h' indicates that the stack pointer in SP_EL1 is being used[22]. As per the Morello Architecture Reference manual: "If the PE is in Restricted and an exception is taken from the current Exception level, exception entry uses the same exception vector as an exception taken from the current Exception level with SP_EL0" [23] This means for code running in Restricted mode at EL1, exceptions will use the el1t_64_xyz_handler(), where the 't' suffix indicates SP_EL0 is being used. Since el1t_xyz_handler's are currently unhandled in the kernel, the RFC patches reuse the existing exception handlers. No special exception handling here is required. Should an eBPF program make an out of bounds access or attempt to execute code out of bounds, this will result in a capability fault. Since kernel state may have been changed by the eBPF program, e.g. via various bpf helper functions, we cannot reliably or easily unwind this state back to a known good state. In this case, as per existing behaviour of eBPF the only safe thing to do is to kill the kernel thread resulting in a kernel Oops, for example: [66105.333338] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff800080168b58 [66105.341538] Mem abort info: [66105.344368] ESR = 0x0000000086000028 [66105.348389] EC = 0x21: IABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits [66105.353824] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [66105.356911] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 [66105.360056] FSC = 0x28: capability tag fault [...] [66105.383898] Internal error: Oops: 0000000086000028 [#3] PREEMPT SMP [66105.390152] Modules linked in: [66105.393194] CPU: 0 PID: 3273 Comm: bpf_print_sp Not tainted 6.7.0-gcf3037d47c40 #4 [66105.402312] Hardware name: ARM LTD Morello System Development Platform, BIOS EDK II Jul 19 2023 [66105.410994] pstate: 20400009 (nzCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS ISA=A64 BTYPE=--) [66105.418637] pc : bpf_trace_printk+0x0/0x13c [66105.422812] lr : bpf_prog_015bce9d80f8185c+0xf8/0x128 [...] [66105.502369] pcc: 0:ff7f40004ddc8cac:ffff800080168b58 [66105.507319] clr: 0:0000000000000000:ffff800082618d60 [66105.512268] csp: 0:0000000000000000:0000000000000000 [...] [66105.649892] Call trace: [66105.652325] bpf_trace_printk+0x0/0x13c [66105.662228] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Breaking this down we can see that we've faulted at the start (0x0) of the bpf_trace_printk() bpf helper function. The link reg shows we got there from a bpf program. Fault status code (FSC) shows a capability tag fault, and looking at PCC we can see the first tag bit is unset (invalid). What has happened is that bpf_trace_printk() exists outside the compartment. When the branch is based on an immediate or X register value like here, the program counter is updated with the address of bpf_trace_printk() via BranchToAddr[24], and the PCC is modified/updated with CapSetValue[25]. BranchToAddr(bits(N) target, BranchType branch_type) [...] assert N == 64 && !UsingAArch32(); _PC = target<63:0>; PCC = CapSetValue(PCC, target<63:0>); return; In this case, the value of bpf_trace_printk() is so far out of bounds it is unrepresentable and therefore the tag value is cleared by CapSetValue. This then results in a capability tag fault on the instruction fetch in the next cycle. This is a bit of a special case. Where the instruction is outside of capability bounds but representable we would expect a standard out of bounds capability fault. Note: bpf_trace_printk is a bpf helper function and should work, however the RFC patches currently do not include any trampolines or mechanism to call out of the compartment to approved helper functions or kfuncs. Also note that due to zero'ing regs on entering the compartment we've lost the ability to get a full kernel call trace. Current State & Future Work The attached RFC patches roughly implement the below: kernel memory hybrid compartment ┌─────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────┬──┐ │ │┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼│ │ │ ┌──────────┐ │┼──┼────────┼──────┼────────┼│ │ │ │ │ ├┘ │ │ │ ││ │ │ │ KFUNCS │ │X◄─┤ BPF X◄────►X BPF ││ │ │ │ │ ├┐ │ PROG │ │ PROG ││ │ │ └──────────┘ ││ │ │ │ ││ │ │ ││ └────────┘ └────────┼│ │ │ ││ ││ │ │ ││ ┌────────┐ ││ │ │ capability ├┘ verifier │ │ ││ │ │ fault/exceptions │X◄─────────────┤ BPF │ ││ │ │ ├┐ bypass │ PROG │ ││ │ │ ││ │ │ ││ │ │ ││ └────────┘ ││ │ │ ││ ││ │ │ ┌─────────┐◄───┐ ││ ┌────────┐ ││ │ │ └─────────┘ ├───────────┐ ├┘ │ │ ││ │ │ │ BPF │ │X◄───┤ BPF │ ││ │ │ ┌─────────┐◄───┤ HELPERS │ ├┐ │ PROG │ ││ │ │ └─────────┘ └───────────┘ ││ │ │ ││ │ │ │┼────┼────────┼─────────────┼│ │ │ │┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼│ │ └─────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────┴──┘ RDDC_EL0: bounds set to vmalloc memory region RCSP_EL0: points to new stack allocated in vmalloc region PCC: bounds set to the JIT'd program binary image For simplicity's sake in the RFC patch set, the current DDC bounds is setup to be the entire vmalloc memory region in the kernel[26]. This is a wide memory area where JIT'd eBPF programs are already allocated. The eBPF stack is also allocated in this region. The PCC bounds are set to be roughly the code area taken up by the eBPF binary image. This means tail calls between two bpf programs and general intra-bpf calls are not currently possible. Future work should include either a specific carve out for all eBPF programs and their stacks or individual compartments per program with a mechanism for intra-bpf calls. There is also currently no mechanism to allow access to bpf helpers and kfuncs. It's highly likely this will have to involve a full domain transition back to Executive to allow the bpf helpers to access the kernel memory they require. The bpf helper must then return with RETR or B(L)RR back into Restricted mode. Capabilities to allow access to these helpers must therefore be made available to the compartment before branching into Restricted mode. This will look roughly something like the below: // Restricted blr <helper_cap> // Executive str clr, [...] ... ldr clr, [...] retr clr // Restricted Filtering of arguments to the bpf helper functions and kfuncs, especially those containing pointers is one of the most problematic and currently unsolved aspects. There is a risk of using bpf helper functions as gadgets to perform operations not allowed inside the compartment. For example the bpf_strncmp helper allows passing any arbitrary pointer and passing it to strncmp: BPF_CALL_3(bpf_strncmp, const char *, s1, u32, s1_sz, const char *, s2) { return strncmp(s1, s2, s1_sz); } This could conceivably be used to methodically move through and map out kernel memory based on the location of known strings. bpf_strtol is even more concerning, as this takes an arbitrary pointer, reads it as a string and writes the long int equivalent to another arbitrary pointer. This is essentially an arbitrary read and write primitive for all of kernel memory. The next step for anyone continuing this work is to first resolve these issues. In particular the argument filtering seems particularly difficult to resolve. Access to these kinds of bpf helpers that provide wide ranging capabilities will have to be limited in some way. Future uArch changes Currently to exit from Executive mode we have to manually craft a CLR that points to the instruction directly after the RET(CLR). It is possible to determine this as a fixed offset due to the multi-pass JIT compilation, however the process could be simplified with new instruction that returns back to Executive via a label instead of a register. For example, RETE #4 would switch to Executive from the next instruction, avoiding the need to retain CLR through the call stack. This would require strong landing pads similar to BTI to verify and check switching states is allowed. This also works well in a JIT context where we can guarantee that user controlled code could not generate RETE instructions or landing pads. Other Future Work An alternative option to the hybrid compartment would be to extend the JIT engine to output Morello/capability instructions and make the resulting program purecap. The engineering effort involved in this would be significant. After adding the instruction encodings of the new Morello instructions and then using that to generate correct and secure purecap code would be possible but non-trivial. In this scenario where the kernel remains hybrid, there exists mismatch between the kernel and eBPF ABI. Since the eBPF interface remains a C interface using standard pointers, translating this to use capabilities and make appropriate restrictions would be difficult. Thus, a purecap eBPF but hybrid kernel, or even vice versa, a purecap kernel but hybrid eBPF may not be viable. A purecap kernel and purecap eBPF would provide the strongest and most straightforward model of compartmentalisation, however this comes with a very high engineering cost. The hybrid model therefore is attractive for the potential to add security with relative ease of implementation and being relatively simple to integrate into existing systems. To further extend the hybrid model and mitigate vulnerabilities in the JIT compiler and verifier itself, it might be useful to run these inside separate compartments. Since these are all parsing user input they may benefit from some level of isolation. General Limitations A hybrid compartment solves the issue of bpf programs accessing other areas of memory outside of the compartment, but it cannot easily solve the inverse - exploits elsewhere in the system executing data within the compartment as code. A general problem with JIT compilation is there exists a user controlled area of executable data in memory. If an attacker can control a return address they can jump to and execute this data. kernel memory ┌─────────────────────────────────┬──┬──────────┬──────┬────┬───┬──┐ │ │┼┼│executable│memory│(RO)│┼┼┼│ │ │ │┼─┴──────────┼──────┴────┴──┼│ │ │ ││ JIT'd │ ││ │ │ ││ BPF PROG │ ││ │ │ ┌─────────┐ jump/branch ││ ┌──────┐ │ ││ │ │ │ exploit ├─────────────┼┼──► data │ │ ││ │ │ └─────────┘ ││ └──────┘ │ ││ │ │ ││ │ ││ │ │ │┼────────────┘ ││ │ │ ││ ││ │ │ ││ ││ │ │ │┼───────────────────────────┼│ │ │ │┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼│ │ └─────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────┴──┘ A hybrid Morello model could solve the issue but it would require 2 compartments: 1. eBPF compartment 2. !eBPF aka "everything else" Currently the DDC and PCC in the PCuABI kernel are completely unrestricted. Except for a case with a clear cut, simple linear address space, setting the bounds for the second compartment aka the kernel becomes difficult if not impossible to do with how bounds encoding currently works in Morello and with a hybrid kernel. The limited bounds encoding of Morello is limiting factor in this. A purecap kernel should make mitigation of this type of exploit much easier. Note: the arm64 kernel does contain some mitigations already against this problem. The addresses of JIT images are already randomised and marked as RO[11], although JIT spraying can be used to bypass this. In addition Branch Target Identification (BTI)[27] has also been enabled for JIT'd images[28], although BTI is not available on the Morello platform which is based on ARMv8.2-A The /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_harden option[29][30] can also be used to effectively nullify this attack entirely, although with some overhead. All JIT'd 32b and 64b constants are "blinded" in memory by saving them XOR'd with a random number. This operation is then undone at execution. LTP Test An LTP test that can be used to test current operation of the RFC patches is available at: https://git.morello-project.org/zdleaf/morello-linux-test-project/-/commits… This is a simple test to make a single call to the bpf helper function bpf_trace_printk and print the current SP. Given the current lack of mechanism/trampoline to call helper functions, this should result in a capability tag fault and test fail. Oops details are printed in dmesg. Thanks Thanks to everyone at Arm and Cambridge University for their help and support, in particular Yury Khrustalev and Kevin Brodsky.

[PATCH 0/3] PCuABI documentation update
