Mesalock Linux: Towards a Memory-Safe Linux Distribution
MesaLock Linux Towards a memory-safe Linux distribution Mingshen Sun MesaLock Linux Maintainer | Baidu X-Lab, USA Shanghai Jiao Tong University, 2018 whoami • Senior Security Research in Baidu X-Lab, Baidu USA • PhD, The Chinese University of Hong Kong • System security, mobile security, IoT security, and car hacking • MesaLock Linux, TaintART, Pass for iOS, etc. • mssun @ GitHub | https://mssun.me !2 MesaLock Linux • Why • What • How !3 Why • Memory corruption occurs in a computer program when the contents of a memory location are unintentionally modified; this is termed violating memory safety. • Memory safety is the state of being protected from various software bugs and security vulnerabilities when dealing with memory access, such as buffer overflows and dangling pointers. !4 Stack Buffer Overflow • https://youtu.be/T03idxny9jE !5 Types of memory errors • Access errors • Buffer overflow • Race condition • Use after free • Uninitialized variables • Memory leak • Double free !6 Memory-safety in user space • CVE-2017-13089 wget: Stack-based buffer overflow in HTTP protocol handling • A stack-based buffer overflow when processing chunked, encoded HTTP responses was found in wget. By tricking an unsuspecting user into connecting to a malicious HTTP server, an attacker could exploit this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code. • https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1505444 • POC: https://github.com/r1b/CVE-2017-13089 !7 What • Linux distribution • Memory-safe user space !8 Linux Distribution • A Linux distribution (often abbreviated as distro) is an operating system made from a software collection, which is based upon the Linux kernel and, often, a package management system. !9 Linux Distros • Server: CentOS, Federa, RedHat, Debian • Desktop: Ubuntu • Mobile: Android • Embedded: OpenWRT, Yocto • Hard-core: Arch Linux, Gentoo • Misc: ChromeOS, Alpine Linux !10 Security and Safety? • Gentoo Hardened: enables several risk-mitigating options in the toolchain, supports PaX, grSecurity, SELinux, TPE and more. -
Kernel Boot-Time Tracing
Kernel Boot-time Tracing Linux Plumbers Conference 2019 - Tracing Track Masami Hiramatsu <[email protected]> Linaro, Ltd. Speaker Masami Hiramatsu - Working for Linaro and Linaro members - Tech Lead for a Landing team - Maintainer of Kprobes and related tracing features/tools Why Kernel Boot-time Tracing? Debug and analyze boot time errors and performance issues - Measure performance statistics of kernel boot - Analyze driver init failure - Debug boot up process - Continuously tracing from boot time etc. What We Have There are already many ftrace options on kernel command line ● Setup options (trace_options=) ● Output to printk (tp_printk) ● Enable events (trace_events=) ● Enable tracers (ftrace=) ● Filtering (ftrace_filter=,ftrace_notrace=,ftrace_graph_filter=,ftrace_graph_notrace=) ● Add kprobe events (kprobe_events=) ● And other options (alloc_snapshot, traceoff_on_warning, ...) See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt Example of Kernel Cmdline Parameters In grub.conf linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.1 root=UUID=5a026bbb-6a58-4c23-9814-5b1c99b82338 ro quiet splash tp_printk trace_options=”sym-addr” trace_clock=global ftrace_dump_on_oops trace_buf_size=1M trace_event=”initcall:*,irq:*,exceptions:*” kprobe_event=”p:kprobes/myevent foofunction $arg1 $arg2;p:kprobes/myevent2 barfunction %ax” What Issues? Size limitation ● kernel cmdline size is small (< 256bytes) ● A half of the cmdline is used for normal boot Only partial features supported ● ftrace has too complex features for single command line ● per-event filters/actions, instances, histograms. Solutions? 1. Use initramfs - Too late for kernel boot time tracing 2. Expand kernel cmdline - It is not easy to write down complex tracing options on bootloader (Single line options is too simple) 3. Reuse structured boot time data (Devicetree) - Well documented, structured data -> V1 & V2 series based on this. Boot-time Trace: V1 and V2 series V1 and V2 series posted at June. -
Linux Perf Event Features and Overhead
Linux perf event Features and Overhead 2013 FastPath Workshop Vince Weaver http://www.eece.maine.edu/∼vweaver [email protected] 21 April 2013 Performance Counters and Workload Optimized Systems • With processor speeds constant, cannot depend on Moore's Law to deliver increased performance • Code analysis and optimization can provide speedups in existing code on existing hardware • Systems with a single workload are best target for cross- stack hardware/kernel/application optimization • Hardware performance counters are the perfect tool for this type of optimization 1 Some Uses of Performance Counters • Traditional analysis and optimization • Finding architectural reasons for slowdown • Validating Simulators • Auto-tuning • Operating System optimization • Estimating power/energy in software 2 Linux and Performance Counters • Linux has become the operating system of choice in many domains • Runs most of the Top500 list (over 90%) on down to embedded devices (Android Phones) • Until recently had no easy access to hardware performance counters, limiting code analysis and optimization. 3 Linux Performance Counter History • oprofile { system-wide sampling profiler since 2002 • perfctr { widely used general interface available since 1999, required patching kernel • perfmon2 { another general interface, included in kernel for itanium, made generic, big push for kernel inclusion 4 Linux perf event • Developed in response to perfmon2 by Molnar and Gleixner in 2009 • Merged in 2.6.31 as \PCL" • Unusual design pushes most functionality into kernel -
