Subject: [PATCH] acpi: acpica: fix acpi operand cache leak in nseval.c
9897bb
9897bb
I found an ACPI cache leak in ACPI early termination and boot continuing case.
9897bb
9897bb
When early termination occurs due to malicious ACPI table, Linux kernel
9897bb
terminates ACPI function and continues to boot process. While kernel terminates
9897bb
ACPI function, kmem_cache_destroy() reports Acpi-Operand cache leak.
9897bb
9897bb
Boot log of ACPI operand cache leak is as follows:

I analyzed this memory leak in detail and found AcpiNsEvaluate() function
9897bb
only removes Info->ReturnObject in AE_CTRL_RETURN_VALUE case. But, when errors
9897bb
occur, the status value is not AE_CTRL_RETURN_VALUE, and Info->ReturnObject is
9897bb
also not null. Therefore, this causes acpi operand memory leak.
9897bb
9897bb
This cache leak causes a security threat because an old kernel (<= 4.9) shows
9897bb
memory locations of kernel functions in stack dump. Some malicious users
9897bb
could use this information to neutralize kernel ASLR.
9897bb
9897bb
I made a patch to fix ACPI operand cache leak.
