  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nx86/mm: Disallow vsyscall page read for copy_from_kernel_nofault()\n\nWhen trying to use copy_from_kernel_nofault() to read vsyscall page\nthrough a bpf program, the following oops was reported:\n\n  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffff600000\n  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode\n  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page\n  PGD 3231067 P4D 3231067 PUD 3233067 PMD 3235067 PTE 0\n  Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI\n  CPU: 1 PID: 20390 Comm: test_progs ...... 6.7.0+ #58\n  Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) ......\n  RIP: 0010:copy_from_kernel_nofault+0x6f/0x110\n  ......\n  Call Trace:\n   <TASK>\n   ? copy_from_kernel_nofault+0x6f/0x110\n   bpf_probe_read_kernel+0x1d/0x50\n   bpf_prog_2061065e56845f08_do_probe_read+0x51/0x8d\n   trace_call_bpf+0xc5/0x1c0\n   perf_call_bpf_enter.isra.0+0x69/0xb0\n   perf_syscall_enter+0x13e/0x200\n   syscall_trace_enter+0x188/0x1c0\n   do_syscall_64+0xb5/0xe0\n   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0x76\n   </TASK>\n  ......\n  ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---\n\nThe oops is triggered when:\n\n1) A bpf program uses bpf_probe_read_kernel() to read from the vsyscall\npage and invokes copy_from_kernel_nofault() which in turn calls\n__get_user_asm().\n\n2) Because the vsyscall page address is not readable from kernel space,\na page fault exception is triggered accordingly.\n\n3) handle_page_fault() considers the vsyscall page address as a user\nspace address instead of a kernel space address. This results in the\nfix-up setup by bpf not being applied and a page_fault_oops() is invoked\ndue to SMAP.\n\nConsidering handle_page_fault() has already considered the vsyscall page\naddress as a userspace address, fix the problem by disallowing vsyscall\npage read for copy_from_kernel_nofault().",
