Re: UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in arch_uprobe_analyze_insn

Hi,

There appears to be a problem with prefix counting for the instruction
decoder. It looks like insn_get_prefixes() isn't keeping "nb" and "nbytes"
in sync correctly:

while (inat_is_legacy_prefix(attr)) {
/* Skip if same prefix */
for (i = 0; i < nb; i++)
if (prefixes->bytes[i] == b)
goto found;
if (nb == 4)
/* Invalid instruction */
break;
prefixes->bytes[nb++] = b;
...
found:
prefixes->nbytes++;
insn->next_byte++;
lb = b;
b = peek_next(insn_byte_t, insn);
attr = inat_get_opcode_attribute(b);
}

(nbytes is incremented on repeated prefixes, but "nb" isn't)

However, it looks like nbytes is used as an offset:

static inline int insn_offset_rex_prefix(struct insn *insn)
{
return insn->prefixes.nbytes;
}
static inline int insn_offset_vex_prefix(struct insn *insn)
{
return insn_offset_rex_prefix(insn) + insn->rex_prefix.nbytes;
}

Which means everything that iterates over prefixes.bytes[] is buggy,
since they may be trying to read past the end of the array:

$ git grep -A3 -E '< .*prefixes(\.|->)nbytes'
boot/compressed/sev-es.c: for (i = 0; i < insn->prefixes.nbytes; i++) {
boot/compressed/sev-es.c- insn_byte_t p =
insn->prefixes.bytes[i];
boot/compressed/sev-es.c-
boot/compressed/sev-es.c- if (p == 0xf2 || p == 0xf3)
--
kernel/uprobes.c: for (i = 0; i < insn->prefixes.nbytes; i++) {
kernel/uprobes.c- insn_attr_t attr;
kernel/uprobes.c-
kernel/uprobes.c- attr = inat_get_opcode_attribute(insn->prefixes.bytes[i]);
--
kernel/uprobes.c: for (i = 0; i < insn->prefixes.nbytes; i++) {
kernel/uprobes.c- if (insn->prefixes.bytes[i] == 0x66)
kernel/uprobes.c- return -ENOTSUPP;
kernel/uprobes.c- }
--
lib/insn-eval.c: for (i = 0; i < insn->prefixes.nbytes; i++) {
lib/insn-eval.c- insn_byte_t p = insn->prefixes.bytes[i];
lib/insn-eval.c-
lib/insn-eval.c- if (p == 0xf2 || p == 0xf3)
--
lib/insn-eval.c: for (i = 0; i < insn->prefixes.nbytes; i++) {
lib/insn-eval.c- insn_attr_t attr;
lib/insn-eval.c-
lib/insn-eval.c- attr = inat_get_opcode_attribute(insn->prefixes.bytes[i]);

I don't see a clear way to fix this.
