stable inclusion from linux-4.19.155 commit 94e8f0bbc475228c93d28b2e0f7e37303db80ffe
--------------------------------
commit bd59380c5ba4147dcbaad3e582b55ccfd120b764 upstream.
A number of userspace utilities depend on making calls to RTAS to retrieve information and update various things.
The existing API through which we expose RTAS to userspace exposes more RTAS functionality than we actually need, through the sys_rtas syscall, which allows root (or anyone with CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to make any RTAS call they want with arbitrary arguments.
Many RTAS calls take the address of a buffer as an argument, and it's up to the caller to specify the physical address of the buffer as an argument. We allocate a buffer (the "RMO buffer") in the Real Memory Area that RTAS can access, and then expose the physical address and size of this buffer in /proc/powerpc/rtas/rmo_buffer. Userspace is expected to read this address, poke at the buffer using /dev/mem, and pass an address in the RMO buffer to the RTAS call.
However, there's nothing stopping the caller from specifying whatever address they want in the RTAS call, and it's easy to construct a series of RTAS calls that can overwrite arbitrary bytes (even without /dev/mem access).
Additionally, there are some RTAS calls that do potentially dangerous things and for which there are no legitimate userspace use cases.
In the past, this would not have been a particularly big deal as it was assumed that root could modify all system state freely, but with Secure Boot and lockdown we need to care about this.
We can't fundamentally change the ABI at this point, however we can address this by implementing a filter that checks RTAS calls against a list of permitted calls and forces the caller to use addresses within the RMO buffer.
The list is based off the list of calls that are used by the librtas userspace library, and has been tested with a number of existing userspace RTAS utilities. For compatibility with any applications we are not aware of that require other calls, the filter can be turned off at build time.
