Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ima_fs: Correctly create securityfs files for unsupported hash algos  ima_tpm_chip->allocated_banks[i].crypto_id is initialized to HASH_ALGO__LAST if the TPM algorithm is not supported. However there are places relying on the algorithm to be valid because it is accessed by hash_algo_name[].  On 6.12.40 I observe the following read out-of-bounds in hash_algo_name:   ==================================================================   BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in create_securityfs_measurement_lists+0x396/0x440   Read of size 8 at addr ffffffff83e18138 by task swapper/0/1    CPU: 4 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.12.40 #3   Call Trace:    <TASK>    dump_stack_lvl+0x61/0x90    print_report+0xc4/0x580    ? kasan_addr_to_slab+0x26/0x80    ? create_securityfs_measurement_lists+0x396/0x440    kasan_report+0xc2/0x100    ? create_securityfs_measurement_lists+0x396/0x440    create_securityfs_measurement_lists+0x396/0x440    ima_fs_init+0xa3/0x300    ima_init+0x7d/0xd0    init_ima+0x28/0x100    do_one_initcall+0xa6/0x3e0    kernel_init_freeable+0x455/0x740    kernel_init+0x24/0x1d0    ret_from_fork+0x38/0x80    ret_from_fork_asm+0x11/0x20    </TASK>    The buggy address belongs to the variable:    hash_algo_name+0xb8/0x420    Memory state around the buggy address:    ffffffff83e18000: 00 01 f9 f9 f9 f9 f9 f9 00 01 f9 f9 f9 f9 f9 f9    ffffffff83e18080: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00   >ffffffff83e18100: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f9 f9 f9 f9 f9 00 05 f9 f9                                           ^    ffffffff83e18180: f9 f9 f9 f9 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 f9 f9 f9 f9    ffffffff83e18200: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 f9 f9 f9 f9 f9 f9 f9   ==================================================================  Seems like the TPM chip supports sha3_256, which isn't yet in tpm_algorithms:   tpm tpm0: TPM with unsupported bank algorithm 0x0027  That's TPM_ALG_SHA3_256 == 0x0027 from "Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Library Part 2: Structures", page 51 [1]. See also the related U-Boot algorithms update [2].  Thus solve the problem by creating a file name with "_tpm_alg_<ID>" postfix if the crypto algorithm isn't initialized.  This is how it looks on the test machine (patch ported to v6.12 release):   # ls -1 /sys/kernel/security/ima/   ascii_runtime_measurements   ascii_runtime_measurements_tpm_alg_27   ascii_runtime_measurements_sha1   ascii_runtime_measurements_sha256   binary_runtime_measurements   binary_runtime_measurements_tpm_alg_27   binary_runtime_measurements_sha1   binary_runtime_measurements_sha256   policy   runtime_measurements_count   violations  [1]: https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/wp-content/uploads/Trusted-Platform-Module-2.0-Library-Part-2-Version-184_pub.pdf [2]: https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2024-July/558835.html
