--- Comment #8 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The releases/gcc-9 branch has been updated by Richard Sandiford <rsand...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:5380912a17ea09a8996720fb62b1a70c16c8f9f2 commit r9-8794-g5380912a17ea09a8996720fb62b1a70c16c8f9f2 Author: Richard Sandiford <richard.sandif...@arm.com> Date: Fri Aug 7 12:17:37 2020 +0100 aarch64: Clear canary value after stack_protect_test [PR96191] The stack_protect_test patterns were leaving the canary value in the temporary register, meaning that it was often still in registers on return from the function. An attacker might therefore have been able to use it to defeat stack-smash protection for a later function. gcc/ PR target/96191 * config/aarch64/aarch64.md (stack_protect_test_<mode>): Set the CC register directly, instead of a GPR. Replace the original GPR destination with an extra scratch register. Zero out operand 3 after use. (stack_protect_test): Update accordingly. gcc/testsuite/ PR target/96191 * gcc.target/aarch64/stack-protector-1.c: New test. * gcc.target/aarch64/stack-protector-2.c: Likewise.
