[PATCH v2] kprobes/x86: Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() to read from unsafe address

From: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Date: 2024-03-14 15:17:35
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Read from an unsafe address with copy_from_kernel_nofault() in
arch_adjust_kprobe_addr() because this function is used before checking
the address is in text or not. Syzcaller bot found a bug and reported
the case if user specifies inaccessible data area,
arch_adjust_kprobe_addr() will cause a kernel panic.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAKHoSAs2rof6vQVBw_Lg_j3QNku0CANZR2qmy4eT7R5Lo8MFbg@mail.gmail.com/

 Changes in v2:
  - Fix to return NULL if failed to access the address.
