From 29efce0f8f10e381417a61f2f9988b40d4f6bcf0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 27/27] x86/pv: Correct the auditing of guest breakpoint
addresses
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The use of access_ok() is buggy, because it permits access to the compat
translation area. 64bit PV guests don't use the XLAT area, but on AMD
hardware, the DBEXT feature allows a breakpoint to match up to a 4G aligned
region, allowing the breakpoint to reach outside of the XLAT area.
Prior to c/s cda16c1bb223 ("x86: mirror compat argument translation area for
32-bit PV"), the live GDT was within 4G of the XLAT area.
All together, this allowed a malicious 64bit PV guest on AMD hardware to place
a breakpoint over the live GDT, and trigger a #DB livelock (CVE-2015-8104).
Introduce breakpoint_addr_ok() and explain why __addr_ok() happens to be an
appropriate check in this case.
For Xen 4.14 and later, this is a latent bug because the XLAT area has moved
to be on its own with nothing interesting adjacent. For Xen 4.13 and older on
AMD hardware, this fixes a PV-trigger-able DoS.
This is part of XSA-444 / CVE-2023-34328.
Fixes: 65e355490817 ("x86/PV: support data breakpoint extension registers")

+ * Architecturally, %dr{0..3} can have any arbitrary value. However, Xen

+ * guest to the lower canonical half, or above the Xen range in the higher
+ * canonical half.
+ *
+ * Breakpoint lengths are specified to mask the low order address bits,
+ * meaning all breakpoints are naturally aligned. With %dr7, the widest
+ * breakpoint is 8 bytes. With DBEXT, the widest breakpoint is 4G. Both of
+ * the Xen boundaries have >4G alignment.
+ *
+ * In principle we should account for HYPERVISOR_COMPAT_VIRT_START(d), but
+ * 64bit Xen has never enforced this for compat guests, and there's no problem
+ * (to Xen) if the guest breakpoints it's alias of the M2P. Skipping this
+ * aspect simplifies the logic, and causes us not to reject a migrating guest
+ * which operated fine on prior versions of Xen.
