We have a tricky bug in the nested NMI code: if we see RSP pointing to the NMI stack on NMI entry from kernel mode, we assume that we are executing a nested NMI. This isn't quite true. A malicious userspace program can point RSP at the NMI stack, issue SYSCALL, and arrange for an NMI to happen while RSP is still pointing at the NMI stack. Fix it with a sneaky trick. Set DF in the region of code that the RSP check is intended to detect. IRET will clear DF atomically. ( Note: other than paravirt, there's little need for all this complexity. We could check RIP instead of RSP. ) Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> |
