Given that ASLR is not effective in VDSO and comes down to 11 quality bits as per pax test making return-to-vdso feasible even for PIE binary, whether this should be considered as a bug and CVE be assigned?
Yes, we can proceed to CVE assignment. The more recent discussion hasn't been on oss-security with, for example: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux.git/commit/?h=x86/vdso&id=bc3b94c31d65e761ddfe150d02932c65971b74e2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=141911002822659&w=2 This apparently mentions both the original discovery: The current algorithm is buggy: the vdso has about a 50% probability of being at the very end of a PMD. and a second discovery that was made separately: The current algorithm also has a decent chance of failing outright due to incorrect handling of the case where the top of the stack is near the top of its PMD. Here, our question, for anyone, is: is there a security impact from the "failing outright" outcome? Or is there only a performance impact (e.g., any correctly written application will continue to work, but will not benefit from any vDSO functionality)? - -- CVE assignment team, MITRE CVE Numbering Authority M/S M300 202 Burlington Road, Bedford, MA 01730 USA [ PGP key available through http://cve.mitre.org/cve/request_id.html ] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (SunOS) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUnYXEAAoJEKllVAevmvmsyc0H/ReEutiGsw2aw+sfLPmeGvTK pf1pWcDyVOOllHQvPD4aF5ZwIWNDIjFV17nKq9TVg6VLr509HifeCyAdgNuU7xEU 7UWTL8JqvRmVVPz4nTqwTcF3nd4kcjdXbLvqAKah6UL2XvOikqNlJWBjqo74BRuA a8GcSU2UbudcOlMmc0+ryueB32YLaZ7xk1rvU+7FLIP/A+tKkY8Lt0B/cJvaLVGc QDokgodKmtm68BRw6T1jKhyY9BDH0t7Hk+t1rpHx4ArIRDboBT+wnY5v2r5o4YlJ 7wa96vAslhxzU/RnQ7m3xvlYCCpNGtNF7Kb27KtuN2nZStFwSryY7ybj8YjJs2A= =inW/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
