Summary

When BAR2 is absent, ivshmem_pci_probe() takes the JailHouse fallback and copies the shared memory address and size from the device-controlled PCI config words at 0x40..0x4f. The PCI core never validates these values, and rt_ioremap() maps whatever physical range it is given. A malicious or ill-formatted ivshmem device can therefore make the kernel map an arbitrary physical window (for example kernel RAM) and expose it to user space through /dev/ivshmemN, giving unprivileged processes arbitrary kernel memory read/write.

Changes

  • Only use the config space fallback when the new RT_IVSHMEM_JAILHOUSE option is enabled. It defaults to n, and its help text documents that the device must be trusted. Without it, a valid BAR2 is required.
  • Validate the window before rt_ioremap(): non-zero size, no address overflow, and the whole range must be representable with native pointer/size types.
  • Read the four config words into 64-bit locals instead of writing through 32-bit aliases of the shmem and shmem_size fields (which also corrupted adjacent fields on 32-bit builds).
  • Check the return value of the config space reads.

Fixes #11992

Testing

Changed files pass clang-format 22.1.8. The ivshmem driver compiles in both configurations (RT_IVSHMEM_JAILHOUSE=n and =y) for bsp/qemu-virt64-aarch64 with RT_USING_PCI, RT_PCI_MSI and RT_USING_IVSHMEM enabled. CI will confirm the full build.

The shared memory address and size in the ivshmem PCI config space
(0x40..0x4f) are controlled by the device. ivshmem_pci_probe() used them
verbatim as a JailHouse fallback when BAR2 was absent, so a malicious
device could make the kernel map an arbitrary physical window and expose
it to user space through /dev/ivshmemN.

Only use the config space fallback when RT_IVSHMEM_JAILHOUSE is enabled,
and validate the window (non-zero size, no overflow and representable by
native pointer and size types) before mapping. Read the four config words
into 64-bit locals instead of writing through 32-bit aliases of the
pointer and size fields, and check the config space read result.

Fixes RT-Thread#11992

👋 感谢您对 RT-Thread 的贡献!Thank you for your contribution to RT-Thread!

为确保代码符合 RT-Thread 的编码规范,请在你的仓库中执行以下步骤运行代码格式化工作流(如果格式化CI运行失败)。
To ensure your code complies with RT-Thread's coding style, please run the code formatting workflow by following the steps below (If the formatting of CI fails to run).


🛠 操作步骤 | Steps

  1. 前往 Actions 页面 | Go to the Actions page
    点击进入工作流 → | Click to open workflow →

  2. 点击 Run workflow | Click Run workflow

  • Use workflow from 保持默认分支(通常为 master)
    Keep the default branch (usually master) in Use workflow from
  • 在 branch 输入框填写 PR 分支 fix/ivshmem-shmem-window-validation
    Enter PR branch fix/ivshmem-shmem-window-validation in the branch field
  • 设置需排除的文件/目录(目录请以"/"结尾)
    Set files/directories to exclude (directories should end with "/")
  1. 等待工作流完成 | Wait for the workflow to complete
    格式化后的代码将作为独立提交推送至你的分支。
    The formatting changes will be pushed to your branch as a separate commit.

完成后,提交将自动更新至 fix/ivshmem-shmem-window-validation 分支,关联的 Pull Request 也会同步更新。
Once completed, commits will be pushed to the fix/ivshmem-shmem-window-validation branch automatically, and the related Pull Request will be updated.
