CVE-2024-56678 at MITRE

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

powerpc/mm/fault: Fix kfence page fault reporting

copy_from_kernel_nofault() can be called when doing read of /proc/kcore.
/proc/kcore can have some unmapped kfence objects which when read via
copy_from_kernel_nofault() can cause page faults. Since *_nofault()
functions define their own fixup table for handling fault, use that
instead of asking kfence to handle such faults.

Hence we search the exception tables for the nip which generated the
fault. If there is an entry then we let the fixup table handler handle the
page fault by returning an error from within ___do_page_fault().

This can be easily triggered if someone tries to do dd from /proc/kcore.
eg. dd if=/proc/kcore of=/dev/null bs=1M

Some example false negatives:
