Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/microcode/AMD: Fix out-of-bounds on systems with CPU-less NUMA nodes
Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2025 15:42:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250310144243.861978-1-revest@chromium.org> (raw)
Currently, load_microcode_amd() iterates over all NUMA nodes, retrieves
their CPU masks and unconditonally accesses per-CPU data for the first
CPU of each mask.
According to Documentation/admin-guide/mm/numaperf.rst: "Some memory may
share the same node as a CPU, and others are provided as memory only
nodes." Therefore, some node CPU masks may be empty and wouldn't have a
"first CPU".
On a machine with far memory (and therefore CPU-less NUMA nodes):
- cpumask_of_node(nid) is 0
- cpumask_first(0) is CONFIG_NR_CPUS
- cpu_data(CONFIG_NR_CPUS) accesses the cpu_info per-CPU array at an
index that is 1 out of bounds
This does not have any security implications since flashing microcode is
a privileged operation but I believe this has reliability implications
by potentially corrupting memory while flashing a microcode update.
When booting with CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS=y on an AMD machine that flashes a
microcode update. I get the following splat:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/amd.c:X:Y
index 512 is out of range for type 'unsigned long[512]'
[...]
Call Trace:
dump_stack+0xdb/0x143

This changes the iteration to only loop on NUMA nodes which have CPUs
before attempting to update their microcodes.
