Subject: [PATCH] acpi: acpica: fix acpi operand cache leak in dswstate.c
0fb27e
0fb27e
I found an ACPI cache leak in ACPI early termination and boot continuing case.
0fb27e
0fb27e
When early termination occurs due to malicious ACPI table, Linux kernel
0fb27e
terminates ACPI function and continues to boot process. While kernel terminates
0fb27e
ACPI function, kmem_cache_destroy() reports Acpi-Operand cache leak.
0fb27e
0fb27e
Boot log of ACPI operand cache leak is as follows:

I analyzed this memory leak in detail and found acpi_ds_obj_stack_pop_and_
0fb27e
delete() function miscalculated the top of the stack. acpi_ds_obj_stack_push()
0fb27e
function uses walk_state->operand_index for start position of the top, but
0fb27e
acpi_ds_obj_stack_pop_and_delete() function considers index 0 for it.
0fb27e
Therefore, this causes acpi operand memory leak.
0fb27e
0fb27e
This cache leak causes a security threat because an old kernel (<= 4.9) shows
0fb27e
memory locations of kernel functions in stack dump. Some malicious users
0fb27e
could use this information to neutralize kernel ASLR.
0fb27e
0fb27e
I made a patch to fix ACPI operand cache leak.
