What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ima: Fix stack-out-of-bounds in is_bprm_creds_for_exec()

KASAN reported a stack-out-of-bounds access in ima_appraise_measurement

from is_bprm_creds_for_exec:

BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in ima_appraise_measurement+0x12dc/0x16a0

Read of size 1 at addr ffffc9000160f940 by task sudo/550

The buggy address belongs to stack of task sudo/550

and is located at offset 24 in frame:

ima_appraise_measurement+0x0/0x16a0

This frame has 2 objects:

[48, 56) 'file'

[80, 148) 'hash'

This is caused by using container_of on the *file pointer. This offset

calculation is what triggers the stack-out-of-bounds error.

In order to fix this, pass in a bprm_is_check boolean which can be set

depending on how process_measurement is called. If the caller has a

linux_binprm pointer and the function is BPRM_CHECK we can determine

is_check and set it then. Otherwise set it to false.
