Introduction
============
Dynamic code is used in many different user applications. Dynamic code is
often generated at runtime. Dynamic code can also just be a pre-defined
sequence of machine instructions in a data buffer. Examples of dynamic
code are trampolines, JIT code, DBT code, etc.
Dynamic code is placed either in a data page or in a stack page. In order
to execute dynamic code, the page it resides in needs to be mapped with
execute permissions. Writable pages with execute permissions provide an
attack surface for hackers. Attackers can use this to inject malicious
code, modify existing code or do other harm.
To mitigate this, LSMs such as SELinux implement W^X. That is, they may not
allow pages to have both write and execute permissions. This prevents
dynamic code from executing and blocks applications that use it. To allow
genuine applications to run, exceptions have to be made for them (by setting
execmem, etc) which opens the door to security issues.
The W^X implementation today is not complete. There exist many user level
tricks that can be used to load and execute dynamic code. E.g.,
- Load the code into a file and map the file with R-X.
- Load the code in an RW- page. Change the permissions to R--. Then,
change the permissions to R-X.
- Load the code in an RW- page. Remap the page with R-X to get a separate
mapping to the same underlying physical page.
IMO, these are all security holes as an attacker can exploit them to inject
his own code.
In the future, these holes will definitely be closed. For instance, LSMs
(such as the IPE proposal [1]) may only allow code in properly signed object
files to be mapped with execute permissions. This will do two things:
- user level tricks using anonymous pages will fail as anonymous
pages have no file identity
- loading the code in a temporary file and mapping it with R-X
will fail as the temporary file would not have a signature
We need a way to execute such code without making security exceptions.
Trampolines are a good example of dynamic code. A couple of examples
of trampolines are given below. My first use case for this RFC is
libffi.
Solution
========
The solution is to convert dynamic code to static code and place it in a
source file. The binary generated from the source can be signed. The kernel
can use signature verification to authenticate the binary and allow the code
to be mapped and executed.
The problem is that the static code has to be able to find the data that it
needs when it executes. For functions, the ABI defines the way to pass
parameters. But, for arbitrary dynamic code, there isn't a standard ABI
compliant way to pass data to the code for most architectures. Each instance
of dynamic code defines its own way. For instance, co-location of code and
data and PC-relative data referencing are used in cases where the ISA
supports it.
We need one standard way that would work for all architectures and ABIs.
The solution has two parts:
1. The maintainer of the code writes the static code assuming that the data
needed by the code is already pointed to by a designated register.
2. The kernel supplies a small universal trampoline that does the following:
- Load the address of the data in a designated register
- Load the address of the static code in a designated register
- Jump to the static code
User code would use a kernel supplied API to create and map the trampoline.
The address values would be baked into the code so that no special ISA
features are needed.
To conserve memory, the kernel will pack as many trampolines as possible in
a page and provide a trampoline table to user code. The table itself is
managed by the user.
Kernel API
==========
A kernel API based on anonymous file descriptors is defined to create
trampolines. The following sections describe the API.
Create trampfd
==============
This feature introduces a new trampfd system call.
struct trampfd_info info;
int trampfd;
trampfd = syscall(440, &info);
The kernel creates a trampoline file object and returns the following items
in info:
ntrampolines
The number of trampolines that can be created with one trampfd. The
user may create fewer trampolines if he wishes.
code_size
The size of each trampoline.
code_offset
The file offset to be used in mmap() to map the trampoline code.
Initialize trampfd
==================
A trampfd is initialized in this manner:
struct trampfd_code code;
struct trampfd_data data;
/*
* Code descriptor.
*/
code.ntrampolines = number of desired trampolines;
code.reg = code register name;
code.table = array of code addresses
/*
* Data descriptor.
*/
data.reg = data register name;
data.table = array of data addresses
pwrite(trampfd, &code, sizeof(init), TRAMPFD_CODE);
pwrite(trampfd, &data, sizeof(init), TRAMPFD_DATA);
The register names are defined in ptrace.h (reg_32_name and reg_64_name).
It is recommended that the code descriptor and code array be placed in the
.rodata section so that an attacker cannot modify its contents.
Instead of pwrite(), the user can also do lseek() and write().
Map trampfd
===========
The user uses mmap() to map the trampoline table into user address space.
len = info.code_size * code.ntrampolines;
prot = PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC;
flags = MAP_PRIVATE;
offset = info.code_offset;
trampoline_table = mmap(NULL, len, prot, flags, trampfd, offset);
The kernel generates the trampoline table. The code for trampoline X in the
table is:
load &code_table[X], code_reg
load (code_reg), code_reg
load &data_table[X], data_reg
load (data_reg), data_reg
jump code_reg
Each mmap() will only map a single base page. Large pages are not supported.
A trampoline file can only be mmapped once in an address space.
Trampoline file mappings cannot be shared across address spaces. So,
sending the trampoline file descriptor over a unix domain socket and
mapping it in another process will not work.
The trampoline code is generated with &code_table[X] and &data_table[X] hard
coded in it. But code_table[X] and data_table[X] can be modified by user
code dynamically so supply the code and data to trampoline X.
Trampoline table management
===========================
The user manages the trampoline table. The address of trampoline X is:
trampoline_table + info.code_size * X;
Prior to invoking trampoline X, the user must initialize code_table[X] and
data_table[X].
Unmap trampfd
=============
Once the user is done with the trampoline table, it may be unmapped:
len = info.code_size * code.ntrampolines;
munmap(trampoline_table, len);
Remove trampfd
==============
To remove the trampfd:
close(trampfd);
