I'm Seunghun Han, and I work for National Security Research Institute of
South Korea.

I have been doing a research on ACPI and found an ACPI cache leak in ACPI
early abort cases.

Boot log of ACPI cache leak is as follows:
[    0.352414] ACPI: Added _OSI(Module Device)
[    0.353182] ACPI: Added _OSI(Processor Device)

I analyzed this memory leak in detail. I found that “Acpi-State” cache and
“Acpi-Parse” cache were merged because the size of cache objects was same
slab cache size.

I finally found “Acpi-Parse” cache and “Acpi-ParseExt” cache were leaked
using SLAB_NEVER_MERGE flag in kmem_cache_create() function.

Real ACPI cache leak point is as follows:

When early abort is occurred due to invalid ACPI information, Linux kernel
terminates ACPI by calling acpi_terminate() function. The function calls
acpi_ut_delete_caches() function to delete local caches (acpi_gbl_namespace_
cache, state_cache, operand_cache, ps_node_cache, ps_node_ext_cache).

But the deletion codes in acpi_ut_delete_caches() function only delete
slab caches using kmem_cache_destroy() function, therefore the cache
objects should be flushed before acpi_ut_delete_caches() function.

“Acpi-Parse” cache and “Acpi-ParseExt” cache are used in an AML parse
function, acpi_ps_parse_loop(). The function should have flush codes to
handle an error state due to invalid AML codes.

This cache leak has a security threat because an old kernel (<= 4.9) shows
memory locations of kernel functions in stack dump. Some malicious users
could use this information to neutralize kernel ASLR.

To fix ACPI cache leak for enhancing security, I made a patch which has
flush codes in acpi_ps_parse_loop() function.

I hope that this patch improves the security of Linux kernel.

Thank you.

Changes since v3: change control transfer according to reviewer's comments.
Changes since v2: merge flush code with existing code and change comments.
Changes since v1: move flush code to acpi_ps_complete_final_op() function.

I didn't get, do you send an incremental patch as a new version?!

Hello, Andy.

Thank you for your reply.

Patch V4 is the last patch which is applied all changes from original code.
Due to maintainer's advice, Patch V1, V2, V3 have reverted and I made
the latest patch, Patch V4.
(the review is here, https://github.com/acpica/acpica/pull/278)

Therefore, it seems that incremental patch is not needed.

If you have any request, please let me know.

Best regards.

ps) I am sending email again after removing HTML part.
