Subject: [PATCH] acpi: acpica: fix acpi operand cache leak in nseval.c
214d7a
214d7a
I found an ACPI cache leak in ACPI early termination and boot continuing case.
214d7a
214d7a
When early termination occurs due to malicious ACPI table, Linux kernel
214d7a
terminates ACPI function and continues to boot process. While kernel terminates
214d7a
ACPI function, kmem_cache_destroy() reports Acpi-Operand cache leak.
214d7a
214d7a
Boot log of ACPI operand cache leak is as follows:

I analyzed this memory leak in detail and found AcpiNsEvaluate() function
214d7a
only removes Info->ReturnObject in AE_CTRL_RETURN_VALUE case. But, when errors
214d7a
occur, the status value is not AE_CTRL_RETURN_VALUE, and Info->ReturnObject is
214d7a
also not null. Therefore, this causes acpi operand memory leak.
214d7a
214d7a
This cache leak causes a security threat because an old kernel (<= 4.9) shows
214d7a
memory locations of kernel functions in stack dump. Some malicious users
214d7a
could use this information to neutralize kernel ASLR.
214d7a
214d7a
I made a patch to fix ACPI operand cache leak.
