From 96574854b34b42650190648014c7ca673cfd31ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: realmadsci <71108352+realmadsci@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2021 13:33:06 -0500 Subject: libqasan/malloc: Additional pointer checks Add checks to free() and malloc_usable_size() to verify (sort of) that the pointers are actually pointing at valid allocated memory before dereferencing them and using the chunk_begin struct info. This will catch use-after-free and wildly bad pointers a little bit earlier. --- qemu_mode/libqasan/malloc.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'qemu_mode/libqasan/malloc.c') diff --git a/qemu_mode/libqasan/malloc.c b/qemu_mode/libqasan/malloc.c index 5a2d2a0c..6fe6fc8c 100644 --- a/qemu_mode/libqasan/malloc.c +++ b/qemu_mode/libqasan/malloc.c @@ -159,6 +159,9 @@ size_t __libqasan_malloc_usable_size(void *ptr) { char *p = ptr; p -= sizeof(struct chunk_begin); + // Validate that the chunk marker is readable (a crude check + // to verify that ptr is a valid malloc region before we dereference it) + QASAN_LOAD(p, sizeof(struct chunk_begin) - REDZONE_SIZE); return ((struct chunk_begin *)p)->requested_size; } @@ -225,6 +228,9 @@ void __libqasan_free(void *ptr) { struct chunk_begin *p = ptr; p -= 1; + // Validate that the chunk marker is readable (a crude check + // to verify that ptr is a valid malloc region before we dereference it) + QASAN_LOAD(p, sizeof(struct chunk_begin) - REDZONE_SIZE); size_t n = p->requested_size; QASAN_STORE(ptr, n); -- cgit 1.4.1
