CVE-2023-53655CVE-2023-53655
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu: Avoid stack overflow due to __rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() being kprobe-ed
Registering a kprobe on __rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() can cause kernel
stack overflow as shown below. This issue can be reproduced by enabling
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL and booting the kernel with argument "nohz_full=",
and then giving the following commands at the shell prompt:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# echo 'p:mp1 __rcu_irq_enter_check_tick' >> kprobe_events
# echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable
This commit therefore adds __rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() to the kprobes
blacklist using NOKPROBE_SYMBOL().
Insufficient stack space to handle exception!
