* libxc: check return values from mallocIan Jackson2013-06-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A sufficiently malformed input to libxc (such as a malformed input ELF or other guest-controlled data) might cause one of libxc's malloc() to fail. In this case we need to make sure we don't dereference or do pointer arithmetic on the result. Search for all occurrences of \b(m|c|re)alloc in libxc, and all functions which call them, and add appropriate error checking where missing. This includes the functions xc_dom_malloc*, which now print a message when they fail so that callers don't have to do so. The function xc_cpuid_to_str wasn't provided with a sane return value and has a pretty strange API, which now becomes a little stranger. There are no in-tree callers. This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

* libxc: check failure of xc_dom_*_to_ptr, xc_map_foreign_rangeIan Jackson2013-06-141-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The return values from xc_dom_*_to_ptr and xc_map_foreign_range are sometimes dereferenced, or subjected to pointer arithmetic, without checking whether the relevant function failed and returned NULL.

* libelf: check loops for running awayIan Jackson2013-06-141-9/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ensure that libelf does not have any loops which can run away indefinitely even if the input is bogus. (Grepped for \bfor, \bwhile and \bgoto in libelf and xc_dom_*loader*.c.) Changes needed: * elf_note_next uses the note's unchecked alleged length, which might wrap round. If it does, return ELF_MAX_PTRVAL (0xfff..fff) instead, which will be beyond the end of the section and so terminate the caller's loop. Also check that the returned psuedopointer is sane. * In various loops over section and program headers, check that the calculated header pointer is still within the image, and quit the loop if it isn't. * Some fixed limits to avoid potentially O(image_size^2) loops: - maximum length of strings: 4K (longer ones ignored totally) - maximum total number of ELF notes: 65536 (any more are ignored) * Check that the total program contents (text, data) we copy or initialise doesn't exceed twice the output image area size. * Remove an entirely useless loop from elf_xen_parse (!) * Replace a nested search loop in in xc_dom_load_elf_symtab in xc_dom_elfloader.c by a precomputation of a bitmap of referenced symtabs. We have not changed loops which might, in principle, iterate over the whole image - even if they might do so one byte at a time with a nontrivial access check function in the middle.

* libelf: use only unsigned integersIan Jackson2013-06-141-19/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Signed integers have undesirable undefined behaviours on overflow. Malicious compilers can turn apparently-correct code into code with security vulnerabilities etc. So use only unsigned integers. Exceptions are booleans (which we have already changed) and error codes. We _do_ change all the chars which aren't fixed constants from our own text segment, but not the char*s. This is because it is safe to access an arbitrary byte through a char*, but not necessarily safe to convert an arbitrary value to a char. As a consequence we need to compile libelf with -Wno-pointer-sign. It is OK to change all the signed integers to unsigned because all the inequalities in libelf are in contexts where we don't "expect" negative numbers. In libelf-dominfo.c:elf_xen_parse we rename a variable "rc" to "more_notes" as it actually contains a note count derived from the input image. The "error" return value from elf_xen_parse_notes is changed from -1 to ~0U. grepping shows only one occurrence of "PRId" or "%d" or "%ld" in libelf and xc_dom_elfloader.c (a "%d" which becomes "%u"). This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

* libelf: use C99 bool for booleansIan Jackson2013-06-141-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We want to remove uses of "int" because signed integers have undesirable undefined behaviours on overflow. Malicious compilers can turn apparently-correct code into code with security vulnerabilities etc. In this patch we change all the booleans in libelf to C99 bool, from <stdbool.h>. For the one visible libelf boolean in libxc's public interface we retain the use of int to avoid changing the ABI; libxc converts it to a bool for consumption by libelf. It is OK to change all values only ever used as booleans to _Bool (bool) because conversion from any scalar type to a _Bool works the same as the boolean test in if() or ?: and is always defined (C99 6.3.1.2). But we do need to check that all these variables really are only ever used that way. (It is theoretically possible that the old code truncated some 64-bit values to 32-bit ints which might become zero depending on the value, which would mean a behavioural change in this patch, but it seems implausible that treating 0x????????00000000 as false could have been intended.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This arranges that if the new pointer reference error checking tripped, we actually get a message about it.

* libelf: Check pointer references in elf_is_elfbinaryIan Jackson2013-06-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | elf_is_elfbinary didn't take a length parameter and could potentially access out of range when provided with a very short image. We only need to check the size is enough for the actual dereference in elf_is_elfbinary; callers are just using it to check the magic number and do their own checks (usually via the new elf_ptrval system) before dereferencing other parts of the header.

* libelf: check all pointer accessesIan Jackson2013-06-141-7/+42

This means no arithmetic done on it can overflow so the compiler cannot do any malicious invalid pointer arithmetic "optimisations". It also means that any places where we dereference one of these pointers without using the appropriate macros or functions become a compilation error. So we can be sure that we won't miss any memory accesses. All the PTRVAL variables were previously void* or char*, so the actual address calculations are unchanged. * ELF_HANDLE becomes a union, one half of which keeps the pointer value and the other half of which is just there to record the type. The new type is not a pointer type so there can be no address calculations on it whose meaning would change. Every assignment or access has to go through one of our macros. * The distinction between const and non-const pointers and char*s and void*s in libelf goes away. This was not important (and anyway libelf tended to cast away const in various places). * The fields elf->image and elf->dest are renamed. That proves that we haven't missed any unchecked uses of these actual pointer values. * The caller may fill in elf->caller_xdest_base and _size to specify another range of memory which is safe for libelf to access, besides the input and output images. * When accesses fail due to being out of range, we mark the elf "broken". This will be checked and used for diagnostics in a following patch. We do not check for write accesses to the input image. This is because libelf actually does this in a number of places. So we simply permit that. * Each caller of libelf which used to set dest now sets dest_base and dest_size. * In xc_dom_load_elf_symtab we provide a new actual-pointer value hdr_ptr which we get from mapping the guest's kernel area and use (checking carefully) as the caller_xdest area. * The STAR(h) macro in libelf-dominfo.c now uses elf_access_unsigned. * elf-init uses the new elf_uval_3264 accessor to access the 32-bit fields, rather than an unchecked field access (ie, unchecked pointer access). * elf_uval has been reworked to use elf_uval_3264. Both of these macros are essentially new in this patch (although they are derived from the old elf_uval) and need careful review. * ELF_ADVANCE_DEST is now safe in the sense that you can use it to chop parts off the front of the dest area but if you chop more than is available, the dest area is simply set to be empty, preventing future accesses. * We introduce some #defines for memcpy, memset, memmove and strcpy: - We provide elf_memcpy_safe and elf_memset_safe which take PTRVALs and do checking on the supplied pointers. - Users inside libelf must all be changed to either elf_mem*_unchecked (which are just like mem*), or elf_mem*_safe (which take PTRVALs) and are checked. Any unchanged call sites become compilation errors. * We do _not_ at this time fix elf_access_unsigned so that it doesn't make unaligned accesses. We hope that unaligned accesses are OK on every supported architecture. But it does check the supplied pointer for validity. This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

* add privileged (dom0) kernel feature indicationJan Beulich2011-07-231-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With our switching away from supporting 32-bit Dom0 operation, users complained that attempts (perhaps due to lack of knowledge of that change) to boot the no longer privileged kernel in Dom0 resulted in apparently silent failure. To make the mismatch explicit and visible, add dom0 feature flag that the kernel can set to indicate operation as dom0 is supported. Due to the way elf_xen_parse_features() worked up to now (getting fixed here), adding features indications to the old, string based ELF note would make the respective kernel unusable on older hypervisors. For that reason, a new ELF Note is being introduced that allows specifying supported features as a bit array instead (with features unknown to the hypervisor simply ignored, as now also done by elf_xen_parse_features(), whereas here unknown kernel-required features still keep the kernel [and hence VM] from booting). Introduce and use elf_note_numeric_array() to be forward compatible (or else an old hypervisor wouldn't be able to parse kernel specified features occupying more than 64 bits - thanks, Ian!).

Copyright holders have been contacted by Stephen Spector and have all agreed this change. Removed tools/libxc/ia64/aclinux.h since it appeared to be unused. There is a separate, more up to date, copy in xen/include/acpi/platform/aclinux.h which does appear to be used. Clarify the license of MiniOS privcmd.h under the same terms as other tools/include/xen-sys headers.

* libxc: eliminate static variables, use xentoollog; API changeKeir Fraser2010-05-281-27/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch eliminate the global variables in libxenctrl (used for logging and error reporting). Instead the information which was in the global variables is now in a new xc_interface* opaque structure, which xc_interface open returns instead of the raw file descriptor; furthermore, logging is done via xentoollog. There are three new parameters to xc_interface_open to control the logging, but existing callers can just pass "0" for all three to get the old behaviour. All libxc callers have been adjusted accordingly. Also update QEMU_TAG for corresponding qemu change. Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com>
* libelf: Tidy up logging and remove dependency on stdio.Keir Fraser2010-05-281-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | libelf now permits callers to specify logging callback functions, rather than a FILE*. libelf's non-Xen callers are all libxc users, so the stdio dependency and the default logging callback function (which calls vfprintf) is now in libxc. Xen's use of libxc is unaffected in this patch. Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <Ian.Jackson@eu.citrix.com>

* x86: Support loading Linux bzImage v2.08 and up.Keir Fraser2008-04-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The latest -mm kernel (2.6.25-rc3-mm1) contains v2.08 of the Linux bzImage format which embeds an ELF file in place of the raw payload allowing it to be extracted and used by the Xen domain builder. It is expected that this functionality will be put forward for 2.6.26. Signed-off-by : Ian Campbell <ijc@hellion.org.uk>
