Subject: [PATCH] acpi: acpica: fix acpi operand cache leak in nseval.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 AcpiNsEvaluate() function
0fb27e
only removes Info->ReturnObject in AE_CTRL_RETURN_VALUE case. But, when errors
0fb27e
occur, the status value is not AE_CTRL_RETURN_VALUE, and Info->ReturnObject is
0fb27e
also not null. 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.
