Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The arm64 kernel allows one to run aarch32 processes on an aarch64
processor (if it has support for it), using the standard 32/64-bit
syscall compatibility. However this compat layer does not correctly
validate the arguments of the sigaltstack syscall.
arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/signal.h defines SIGSTKSZ and MINSIGSTKSZ
as follow:
| #define MINSIGSTKSZ 5120
| #define SIGSTKSZ 16384
arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/signal.h defines SIGSTKSZ and MINSIGSTKSZ as
follow:
| #define MINSIGSTKSZ 2048
| #define SIGSTKSZ 8192
It seems to be the only 32/64-bit architecture for which those constants
differ. The do_compat_sigaltstack function in kernel/signal.c passes
ss.ss_size to do_sigaltstack unchanged, and the latter validates it
against the native MINSIGSTKSZ.
This causes the glibc test nptl/tst-signal6 to fail, but I guess it can
also affects other packages at runtime. This is also reproducible with
the following simple testcase:
| #include <signal.h>
| #include <stdlib.h>
| #include <stdio.h>
|
| int main(int argc, char *argv[])
| {
| stack_t ss;
|
| ss.ss_sp = malloc(MINSIGSTKSZ);
| if (ss.ss_sp == NULL) {
| perror("malloc");
| exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
| }
|
| ss.ss_size = MINSIGSTKSZ;
| ss.ss_flags = 0;
| if (sigaltstack(&ss, NULL)) {
| perror("sigaltstack");
| exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
| }
|
| return 0;
| }
