2020-02-19malloc: add missing header for some arch (alpha)Waldemar Brodkorb
2020-02-16Add Safe-Linking to fastbinsEyal Itkin
Safe-Linking is a security mechanism that protects single-linked lists (such as the fastbins) from being tampered by attackers. The mechanism makes use of randomness from ASLR (mmap_base), and when combined with chunk alignment integrity checks, it protects the pointers from being hijacked by an attacker. While Safe-Unlinking protects double-linked lists (such as the small bins), there wasn't any similar protection for attacks against single-linked lists. This solution protects against 3 common attacks: * Partial pointer override: modifies the lower bytes (Little Endian) * Full pointer override: hijacks the pointer to an attacker's location * Unaligned chunks: pointing the list to an unaligned address The design assumes an attacker doesn't know where the heap is located, and uses the ASLR randomness to "sign" the single-linked pointers. We mark the pointer as P and the location in which it is stored as L, and the calculation will be: * PROTECT(P) := (L >> PAGE_SHIFT) XOR (P) * *L = PROTECT(P) This way, the random bits from the address L (which start at the bits in the PAGE_SHIFT position), will be merged with the LSB of the stored protected pointer. This protection layer prevents an attacker from modifying the pointer into a controlled value. An additional check that the chunks are MALLOC_ALIGNed adds an important layer: * Attackers can't point to illegal (unaligned) memory addresses * Attackers must guess correctly the alignment bits On standard 32 bit Linux machines, an attacker will directly fail 7 out of 8 times, and on 64 bit machines it will fail 15 out of 16 times. The proposed solution adds 3-4 asm instructions per malloc()/free() and therefore has only minor performance implications if it has any. A similar protection was added to Chromium's version of TCMalloc in 2013, and according to their documentation the performance overhead was less than 2%.

2020-01-28fix getenv bugAta, John (US)
The getenv() library call can trap under certain conditions. It compares the passed in environment variable name (var) with the name=variables (*ep) in the environment area and returns a pointer to the value in the environment if it exists. To accomplish this, it does a memcmp() using the length of the passed in name (len) for each environment variable (*ep) against the passed in name ( var). So memcmp will attempt to scan both strings for len bytes. However, if for some reason, len is equal to or greater than 16 and longer than the length of the *ep in the environment and the *ep resides near the end of a page boundary while the next page is not present or mapped, the memcmp could trap with a sigsegv error while continuing the scan with the optimization read-ahead. However, if strncmp is used instead, there is no problem since both source and destination scanning will stop when either reaches a terminating NULL
2019-09-30malloc: Add missing locks for some paths (valloc/memalign/posix_memalign)Kjetil Oftedal
The internal heap structures were not protected properly in memalign(). If multiple threads were concurrently allocating memory and one of them were requesting aligned memory via valloc,memalign or posix_memalign the internal heap data structures could be corrupted.

2018-01-31remove arc4random (rc4 based)Waldemar Brodkorb
OpenBSD arc4random is using chacha20 cipher algorithm for a long time. This copy is still based on deprecated rc4 cipher algorithm. We could either update the arc4random.c or drop it. Drop it. Users should better use libbsd when using arc4random interface. Musl/glibc does not have arc4random either.

2017-03-17Discard 3072 bytes instead of 256 bytesLoganaden Velvindron
This follows the recommendations outlined in Network Operations Division Cryptographic Requirements published on wikileaks on March 2017. We discard more bytes of the first keystream to reduce possibility of non-random bytes.

2016-05-18remove linuxthreads.new, rename linuxthreads.oldWaldemar Brodkorb
Linuxthreads.new isn't really useful with the existence of NPTL/TLS for well supported architectures. There is no reason to use LT.new for ARM/MIPS or other architectures supporting NPTL/TLS. It is not available for noMMU architectures like Blackfin or FR-V. To simplify the live of the few uClibc-ng developers, LT.new is removed and LT.old is renamed to LT.

2016-01-10order of special checks mattersWaldemar Brodkorb
The order of special checks seems critical for some applications. Xorg 1.18.0 fails to start with XNFreallocarray error. Took me some time to run with MALLOC_DEBUG=2 to find out. MALLOC_STANDARD is not affected.
2016-01-06pthread_atfork handlers not removed during dlcloseWaldemar Brodkorb
Invoke pthread_atfork handler cleanup when removing the associated DSO... If a program loads a DSO (dlopen) that sets up a pthread_atfork handler(s), and then subsequently closes the DSO, the handler(s) are left in place. If fork() is subsequently called, the handlers are invoked even though the DSO has been removed causing crashes or unpredictable code execution. This is because the code in __cxa_finalize(atexit.c)to invoke the unregister_atfork() routine is ifdef'd out with the comment that it hasn't been "looked into this yet...".
