bpfilter: match bit size of bpfilter_umh to that of the kernel

2025-07-17T16:24:51Z

[ Upstream commit 9371f86ecb60f6f1f120e3d93fe892bbb70d04c0 ] bpfilter_umh is built for the default machine bit of the compiler, which may not match to the bit size of the kernel. This happens in the scenario below: You can use biarch GCC that defaults to 64-bit for building the 32-bit kernel. In this case, Kbuild passes -m32 to teach the compiler to produce 32-bit kernel space objects. However, it is missing when building bpfilter_umh. It is built as a 64-bit ELF, and then embedded into the 32-bit kernel. The 32-bit kernel and 64-bit umh is a bad combination. In theory, we can have 32-bit umh running on 64-bit kernel, but we do not have a good reason to support such a usecase. The best is to match the bit size between them. Pass -m32 or -m64 to the umh build command if it is found in $(KBUILD_CFLAGS). Evaluate CC_CAN_LINK against the kernel bit-size.

sched/isolation: Make CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION depend on CONFIG_SMP

module: sign with sha512 instead of sha1 by default

2025-05-02T05:39:21Z

commit f3b93547b91ad849b58eb5ab2dd070950ad7beb3 upstream. Switch away from using sha1 for module signing by default and use the more modern sha512 instead, which is what among others Arch, Fedora, RHEL, and Ubuntu are currently using for their kernels. Sha1 has not been considered secure against well-funded opponents since 2005[1]; since 2011 the NIST and other organizations furthermore recommended its replacement[2]. This is why OpenSSL on RHEL9, Fedora Linux 41+[3], and likely some other current and future distributions reject the creation of sha1 signatures, which leads to a build error of allmodconfig configurations: 80A20474797F0000:error:03000098:digital envelope routines:do_sigver_init:invalid digest:crypto/evp/m_sigver.c:342: make[4]: *** [.../certs/Makefile:53: certs/signing_key.pem] Error 1 make[4]: *** Deleting file 'certs/signing_key.pem' make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[3]: *** [.../scripts/Makefile.build:478: certs] Error 2 make[2]: *** [.../Makefile:1936: .] Error 2 make[1]: *** [.../Makefile:224: __sub-make] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '...' make: *** [Makefile:224: __sub-make] Error 2 This change makes allmodconfig work again and sets a default that is more appropriate for current and future users, too.

initramfs: avoid filename buffer overrun

2024-12-14T18:44:21Z

[ Upstream commit e017671f534dd3f568db9e47b0583e853d2da9b5 ] The initramfs filename field is defined in Documentation/driver-api/early-userspace/buffer-format.rst as: 37 cpio_file := ALGN(4) + cpio_header + filename + "\0" + ALGN(4) + data ... 55 ============= ================== ========================= 56 Field name Field size Meaning 57 ============= ================== ========================= ... 70 c_namesize 8 bytes Length of filename, including final \0 When extracting an initramfs cpio archive, the kernel's do_name() path handler assumes a zero-terminated path at @collected, passing it directly to filp_open() / init_mkdir() / init_mknod(). If a specially crafted cpio entry carries a non-zero-terminated filename and is followed by uninitialized memory, then a file may be created with trailing characters that represent the uninitialized memory. The ability to create an initramfs entry would imply already having full control of the system, so the buffer overrun shouldn't be considered a security vulnerability. Append the output of the following bash script to an existing initramfs and observe any created /initramfs_test_fname_overrunAA* path. E.g. ./reproducer.sh | gzip >> /myinitramfs It's easiest to observe non-zero uninitialized memory when the output is gzipped, as it'll overflow the heap allocated @out_buf in __gunzip(), rather than the initrd_start+initrd_size block. ---- reproducer.sh ---- nilchar="A" # change to "\0" to properly zero terminate / pad magic="070701" ino=1 mode=$(( 0100777 )) uid=0 gid=0 nlink=1 mtime=1 filesize=0 devmajor=0 devminor=1 rdevmajor=0 rdevminor=0 csum=0 fname="initramfs_test_fname_overrun" namelen=$(( ${#fname} + 1 )) # plus one to account for terminator printf "%s%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%s" \ $magic $ino $mode $uid $gid $nlink $mtime $filesize \ $devmajor $devminor $rdevmajor $rdevminor $namelen $csum $fname termpadlen=$(( 1 + ((4 - ((110 + $namelen) & 3)) % 4) )) printf "%.s${nilchar}" $(seq 1 $termpadlen) ---- reproducer.sh ---- Symlink filename fields handled in do_symlink() won't overrun past the data segment, due to the explicit zero-termination of the symlink target. Fix filename buffer overrun by aborting the initramfs FSM if any cpio entry doesn't carry a zero-terminator at the expected (name_len - 1) offset.

rootfs: Fix support for rootfstype= when root= is given

2024-01-25T22:34:30Z

commit 21528c69a0d8483f7c6345b1a0bc8d8975e9a172 upstream. Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.rst states: If CONFIG_TMPFS is enabled, rootfs will use tmpfs instead of ramfs by default. To force ramfs, add "rootfstype=ramfs" to the kernel command line. This currently does not work when root= is provided since then saved_root_name contains a string and rootfstype= is ignored. Therefore, ramfs is currently always chosen when root= is provided. The current behavior for rootfs's filesystem is: root= | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem ------------+-------------+-------------------------- unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs unspecified | tmpfs | tmpfs unspecified | ramfs | ramfs provided | ignored | ramfs rootfstype= should be respected regardless whether root= is given, as shown below: root= | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem ------------+-------------+-------------------------- unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs (as before) unspecified | tmpfs | tmpfs (as before) unspecified | ramfs | ramfs (as before) provided | unspecified | ramfs (compatibility with before) provided | tmpfs | tmpfs (new) provided | ramfs | ramfs (new) This table represents the new behavior.
