commit 2cfdbbe897
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
readeither() caches (in new_p) a pointer to the proc_t of a task-group
leader, but readeither()'s callers can do pretty much anything with the
proc_t structure passed to and/or returned by this function. For
example, they can 1/ free it or 2/ recycle it (by passing it to
readeither() as x).
1/ leads to a use-after-free, and 2/ leads to unexpected behavior when
taskreader()/simple_readtask() is called with new_p equal to x (this is
not a theoretical flaw: 2/ happens in readproctab3() when want_task()
returns false and p is a group leader).
As a workaround, we keep a copy of new_p's first member (tid) in static
storage, and the next times we enter readeither() we check this "canary"
against the tid in new_p: if they differ, we reset new_p to NULL, which
forces the allocation of a new proc_t (the new "leader", or reference).
This always detects 2/ (because free_acquired(x,1) memsets x and hence
new_p); always detects 1/ if freed via free_acquired() and/or freeproc()
(very likely, otherwise memory may be leaked); probably detects 1/ even
if freed directly via free() (because the canary is the first member of
proc_t, likely to be overwritten by free()); but can not detect 1/ if
free() does not write to new_p's chunk at all.
Moreover, accessing new_p->tid to check the canary in case 1/ is itself
a use-after-free, so a better long-term solution should be implemented
at some point (we wanted to avoid intrusive and backward-incompatible
changes in this library function, hence this imperfect workaround).

If QUICK_THREADS is not defined (it is not by default, but most
distributions enable it) and task_dir_missing is true (only on very old
kernels), then readtask() forgets to reset some of the struct proc_t t's
members, which later results in double-free()s in free_acquired().
For now, we simply synchronized the list of members to be reset with the
list of members freed in free_acquired().

Note: this is by far the most important and complex patch of the whole
series, please review it carefully; thank you very much!
For this patch, we decided to keep the original function's design and
skeleton, to avoid regressions and behavior changes, while fixing the
various bugs and overflows. And like the "Harden file2str()" patch, this
patch does not fail when about to overflow, but truncates instead: there
is information available about this process, so return it to the caller;
also, we used INT_MAX as a limit, but a lower limit could be used.
The easy changes:
- Replace sprintf() with snprintf() (and check for truncation).
- Replace "if (n == 0 && rbuf == 0)" with "if (n <= 0 && tot <= 0)" and
do break instead of return: it simplifies the code (only one place to
handle errors), and also guarantees that in the while loop either n or
tot is > 0 (or both), even if n is reset to 0 when about to overflow.
- Remove the "if (n < 0)" block in the while loop: it is (and was) dead
code, since we enter the while loop only if n >= 0.
- Rewrite the missing-null-terminator detection: in the original
function, if the size of the file is a multiple of 2047, a null-
terminator is appended even if the file is already null-terminated.
- Replace "if (n <= 0 && !end_of_file)" with "if (n < 0 || tot <= 0)":
originally, it was equivalent to "if (n < 0)", but we added "tot <= 0"
to handle the first break of the while loop, and to guarantee that in
the rest of the function tot is > 0.
- Double-force ("belt and suspenders") the null-termination of rbuf:
this is (and was) essential to the correctness of the function.
- Replace the final "while" loop with a "for" loop that behaves just
like the preceding "for" loop: in the original function, this would
lead to unexpected results (for example, if rbuf is |\0|A|\0|, this
would return the array {"",NULL} but should return {"","A",NULL}; and
if rbuf is |A|\0|B| (should never happen because rbuf should be null-
terminated), this would make room for two pointers in ret, but would
write three pointers to ret).
The hard changes:
- Prevent the integer overflow of tot in the while loop, but unlike
file2str(), file2strvec() cannot let tot grow until it almost reaches
INT_MAX, because it needs more space for the pointers: this is why we
introduced ARG_LEN, which also guarantees that we can add "align" and
a few sizeof(char*)s to tot without overflowing.
- Prevent the integer overflow of "tot + c + align": when INT_MAX is
(almost) reached, we write the maximal safe amount of pointers to ret
(ARG_LEN guarantees that there is always space for *ret = rbuf and the
NULL terminator).

1/ Replace sprintf() with snprintf() (and check for truncation).
2/ Prevent an integer overflow of ub->siz. The "tot_read--" is needed to
avoid an off-by-one overflow in "ub->buf[tot_read] = '\0'". It is safe
to decrement tot_read here, because we know that tot_read is equal to
ub->siz (and ub->siz is very large).
We believe that truncation is a better option than failure (implementing
failure instead should be as easy as replacing the "tot_read--" with
"tot_read = 0").

1/ Do not read past the terminating null byte when hashing the name.
2/ S[x] is used as an index, but S is "char *S" (signed) and hence may
index the array out-of-bounds. Bit-mask S[x] with 127 (the array has 128
entries).
3/ Use a size_t for j, not an int (strlen() returns a size_t).
Notes:
- These are (mostly) theoretical problems, because the contents of
/proc/PID/status are (mostly) trusted.
- The "name" member of the status_table_struct has 8 bytes, and
"RssShmem" occupies exactly 8 bytes, which means that "name" is not
null-terminated. This is fine right now, because status2proc() uses
memcmp(), not strcmp(), but it is worth mentioning.

This solves several problems:
1/ outbuf[1] was written to, but not outbuf[0], which was left
uninitialized (well, SECURE_ESCAPE_ARGS() already fixes this, but do it
explicitly as well); we know it is safe to write one byte to outbuf,
because SECURE_ESCAPE_ARGS() guarantees it.
2/ If bytes was 1, the write to outbuf[1] was an off-by-one overflow.
3/ Do not call escape_str() with a 0 bufsize if bytes == overhead.
4/ Prevent various buffer overflows if bytes <= overhead.
Simply rearrange the old comparisons. The new comparisons are safe,
because we know from previous checks that:
1/ wlen > 0
2/ my_cells < *maxcells (also: my_cells >= 0 and *maxcells > 0)
3/ len > 1
4/ my_bytes+1 < bufsize (also: my_bytes >= 0 and bufsize > 0)
This should never happen, because wcwidth() is called only if iswprint()
returns nonzero. But belt-and-suspenders, and make it visually clear
(very important for the next patch).
The SECURE_ESCAPE_ARGS() macro solves several potential problems
(although we found no problematic calls to the escape*() functions in
procps's code-base, but had to thoroughly review every call; and this is
library code):
1/ off-by-one overflows if the size of the destination buffer is 0;
2/ buffer overflows if this size (or "maxroom") is negative;
3/ integer overflows (for example, "*maxcells+1");
4/ always null-terminate the destination buffer (unless its size is 0).

With older library logic having been modified to avoid
using those potentially deadly alloc.h routines, while
improving 'errno' handling, we're ready to standardize
and enhance newlib's approach to any potential errors.
In so doing, we'll establish the following objectives:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . functions returning an 'int'
. an error will be indicated by a negative number that
is always the inverse of some well known errno.h value
. . . . . . . . . . . functions returning an 'address'
. any error will be indicated by a NULL return pointer
with the actual reason found in the formal errno value
And, when errno is manipulated directly we will strive
to do so whenever possible within those routines which
have been declared with PROCPS_EXPORT. In other words,
in the user callable functions defined in source last.
[ But, that won't always be possible. In particular, ]
[ all the 'read_failed' functions will sometimes set ]
[ 'errno' so that they can serve callers returning a ]
[ NULL or an int without duplicating a lot of logic. ]
[ Also, that includes one subordinate function which ]
[ was called by 'read_failed' in the <slabinfo> API. ]

While that old master branch library may utilize those
memory allocation functions found in the alloc module,
it was inappropriate for this newlib branch to subject
callers to a stderr message followed by an early exit.
Of course, the old libprocps offered a message handler
override provision (xalloc_err_handler) but that, too,
would seem to be inappropriate for our modern library.
[ remember the battles fought with that damn libnuma ]
So, this commit will tweak those old inherited sources
setting the stage for standardized return values/errno
settings in connection with a memory allocation error.

The <meminfo> module attempted to duplicate the former
sysinfo memory calculations wherein 'SReclaimable' was
added to 'Cached' for the 'kb_main_cached' equivalent.
But, this original approach was wrong for two reasons.
1. The addition occurred too late to impact the 'USED'
calculation which could then cause an underflow in the
top memory display if 'SReclaimable' was heavily used.
2. In changing the actual /proc/meminfo 'Cached' value
it meant that users could not rely on that proc(5) man
page when interpreting the MEMINFO_MEM_CACHED results.
So this commit adds a new enumerator for the inclusive
cached amount plus repositions the calculation so that
a MEMINFO_MEM_USED result will exclude 'SReclaimable'.

When those standardized 'derived' TIC enumerators were
introduced, a problem with potential DELTA distortions
was also introduced when toggling cpus offline/online.
It has always been true that the 1st (summary) line in
/proc/stat will experience a decrease in total tics if
a new cpu is brought online. Such decreases are mostly
due to reductions in 'idle' and 'iowait' tics. Exactly
why such a counterintuitive phenomenon should occur is
a mystery, but this has been acknowledged in proc.txt.
A separate potential distortion arises with individual
cpus. And, here it extends to both bringing processors
online plus taking them offline too. When that happens
the order of the cpus array tracking is upset, placing
the 'new' values in some other processor's array slot.
But even if we were to occupy the same slot, the issue
regarding reductions in 'idle' & 'iowait' still apply.
In all cases, when a DELTA field was found to be minus
it was forced to zero via the 'TICsetH' macro. However
the 'derived' calculations are subject to new forms of
distortion with their own DELTA values. For example we
could find DELTA_SUM_USER + DELTA_SUM_SYSTEM exceeding
DELTA_SUM_TOTAL, an illogical/inappropriate condition.
So this commit moves former protections for individual
cpus to the stat_derive_unique() function and modifies
it to also extend protections to the 'derived' values.
In the process we now protect the cpu 'summary' counts
which were unfortunately previously overlooked (oops).
