From 04d1d281dcfe683a53cddfab8371fc8bb302b069 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:19:29 -0800 Subject: x86/entry/32: Add an ASM_CLAC to entry_SYSENTER_32 Both before and after 5f310f739b4c ("x86/entry/32: Re-implement SYSENTER using the new C path"), we relied on a uaccess very early in the SYSENTER path to clear AC. After that change, though, we can potentially make it all the way into C code with AC set, which enlarges the attack surface for SMAP bypass by doing SYSENTER with AC set. Strengthen the SMAP protection by addding the missing ASM_CLAC right at the beginning. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.
