Subject: [PATCH] acpi: acpica: fix acpi operand cache leak in nseval.c
88c41d
88c41d
I found an ACPI cache leak in ACPI early termination and boot continuing case.
88c41d
88c41d
When early termination occurs due to malicious ACPI table, Linux kernel
88c41d
terminates ACPI function and continues to boot process. While kernel terminates
88c41d
ACPI function, kmem_cache_destroy() reports Acpi-Operand cache leak.
88c41d
88c41d
Boot log of ACPI operand cache leak is as follows:

I analyzed this memory leak in detail and found AcpiNsEvaluate() function
88c41d
only removes Info->ReturnObject in AE_CTRL_RETURN_VALUE case. But, when errors
88c41d
occur, the status value is not AE_CTRL_RETURN_VALUE, and Info->ReturnObject is
88c41d
also not null. Therefore, this causes acpi operand memory leak.
88c41d
88c41d
This cache leak causes a security threat because an old kernel (<= 4.9) shows
88c41d
memory locations of kernel functions in stack dump. Some malicious users
88c41d
could use this information to neutralize kernel ASLR.
88c41d
88c41d
I made a patch to fix ACPI operand cache leak.
