As a result, kernel branch records\nmay be exposed to user space even when PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_USER is\nrequested.\n\nFor example, on Intel Tiger Lake, the following command can still report\nSYSRET/ERET entries with kernel-space from addresses:\n\n$ ./perf record -e cycles:p -o - --branch-filter any,save_type,u -- \\\n \t./perf bench syscall basic --loop 1000 | \\\n\t./perf script -i - --fields brstack|tr ' ' '\\n'| \\\n\tgrep -E '0x[89a-f][0-9a-f]{15}'\n\n Total time: 0.000 [sec]\n\n 0.219000 usecs/op\n 4,566,210 ops/sec\n[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]\n[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.551 MB - ]\n0xffffffff93c001c8/0x7f12a2b1d647/P/-/-/16959/SYSRET/-\n0xffffffff93c001c8/0x7f12a2b1d5c2/P/-/-/17535/SYSRET/-\n0xffffffff93c01928/0x7f12a2861000/P/-/-/6719/ERET/-\n0xffffffff93c01928/0x7f12a297a000/P/-/-/8575/ERET/-\n\nThe problem is that intel_pmu_lbr_filter() does not fully validate the\nprivilege level of sampled entries. It filters some mismatches based on\nthe branch type and the to address, but it does not reject entries whose\nfrom address violates the requested branch privilege filter.\n\nFix this by extending software filtering to validate both from and to\naddresses against br_sel. Any LBR entry contains kernel address does not\nmatch the requested user filter is dropped. This prevents kernel\naddresses from appearing in user-only branch stacks." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "arch/x86/events/intel/lbr.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "47125db27e47e9d44c878bf8925aa057824bb0d5", "lessThan": "f3705db4e6378cc1b91a38ce0fe2f879055e23ca", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "47125db27e47e9d44c878bf8925aa057824bb0d5", "lessThan": "b589147f54adc62e4172e4acf079ad5fb7b3687f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "47125db27e47e9d44c878bf8925aa057824bb0d5", "lessThan": "be0628a101ac05b085aaa4f650d48bd3915e80fa", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "47125db27e47e9d44c878bf8925aa057824bb0d5", "lessThan": "ca19a175e89b7de604fab736436cbab74030b47a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "47125db27e47e9d44c878bf8925aa057824bb0d5", "lessThan": "6ac26161db27f7fb9d9e89ae240dbe52795496cc", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "47125db27e47e9d44c878bf8925aa057824bb0d5", "lessThan": "3c492c8eba02698ca893a9a13388d2adf6dfb839", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "47125db27e47e9d44c878bf8925aa057824bb0d5", "lessThan": "68c4b780b266a435261a1e029bede5ee3c2735cc", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "47125db27e47e9d44c878bf8925aa057824bb0d5", "lessThan": "e2b0575900ff72aa82748af96e7bd564ade5157a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "arch/x86/events/intel/lbr.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.9", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.9", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.270", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.221", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.188", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.157", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.110", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.51", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.9", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.270" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.9", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.221" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.188" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.157" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.110" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.51" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.9", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.5" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.9", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f3705db4e6378cc1b91a38ce0fe2f879055e23ca" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b589147f54adc62e4172e4acf079ad5fb7b3687f" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/be0628a101ac05b085aaa4f650d48bd3915e80fa" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ca19a175e89b7de604fab736436cbab74030b47a" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6ac26161db27f7fb9d9e89ae240dbe52795496cc" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3c492c8eba02698ca893a9a13388d2adf6dfb839" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/68c4b780b266a435261a1e029bede5ee3c2735cc" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e2b0575900ff72aa82748af96e7bd564ade5157a" } ], "title": "perf/x86/intel: Fix kernel address leakages in LBR stack", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
