Subject: [PATCH] acpi: acpica: fix acpi operand cache leak in nseval.c
4496ab
4496ab
I found an ACPI cache leak in ACPI early termination and boot continuing case.
4496ab
4496ab
When early termination occurs due to malicious ACPI table, Linux kernel
4496ab
terminates ACPI function and continues to boot process. While kernel terminates
4496ab
ACPI function, kmem_cache_destroy() reports Acpi-Operand cache leak.
4496ab
4496ab
Boot log of ACPI operand cache leak is as follows:

I analyzed this memory leak in detail and found AcpiNsEvaluate() function
4496ab
only removes Info->ReturnObject in AE_CTRL_RETURN_VALUE case. But, when errors
4496ab
occur, the status value is not AE_CTRL_RETURN_VALUE, and Info->ReturnObject is
4496ab
also not null. Therefore, this causes acpi operand memory leak.
4496ab
4496ab
This cache leak causes a security threat because an old kernel (<= 4.9) shows
4496ab
memory locations of kernel functions in stack dump. Some malicious users
4496ab
could use this information to neutralize kernel ASLR.
4496ab
4496ab
I made a patch to fix ACPI operand cache leak.
