Subject: [PATCH] acpi: acpica: fix acpi operand cache leak in nseval.c
28da4ec
28da4ec
I found an ACPI cache leak in ACPI early termination and boot continuing case.
28da4ec
28da4ec
When early termination occurs due to malicious ACPI table, Linux kernel
28da4ec
terminates ACPI function and continues to boot process. While kernel terminates
28da4ec
ACPI function, kmem_cache_destroy() reports Acpi-Operand cache leak.
28da4ec
28da4ec
Boot log of ACPI operand cache leak is as follows:

I analyzed this memory leak in detail and found AcpiNsEvaluate() function
28da4ec
only removes Info->ReturnObject in AE_CTRL_RETURN_VALUE case. But, when errors
28da4ec
occur, the status value is not AE_CTRL_RETURN_VALUE, and Info->ReturnObject is
28da4ec
also not null. Therefore, this causes acpi operand memory leak.
28da4ec
28da4ec
This cache leak causes a security threat because an old kernel (<= 4.9) shows
28da4ec
memory locations of kernel functions in stack dump. Some malicious users
28da4ec
could use this information to neutralize kernel ASLR.
28da4ec
28da4ec
I made a patch to fix ACPI operand cache leak.
