In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<\/p>\n
perf\/x86\/intel: Fix kernel address leakages in LBR stack<\/p>\n
Before Arch LBR gained CPL filtering support, a user-only branch stack
\ncould still contain kernel addresses. As a result, kernel branch records
\nmay be exposed to user space even when PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_USER is
\nrequested.<\/p>\n
For example, on Intel Tiger Lake, the following command can still report
\nSYSRET\/ERET entries with kernel-space from addresses:<\/p>\n
$ .\/perf record -e cycles:p -o – –branch-filter any,save_type,u —
\n \t.\/perf bench syscall basic –loop 1000 |
\n\t.\/perf script -i – –fields brstack|tr ‘ ‘ ‘n’|
\n\tgrep -E ‘0x[89a-f][0-9a-f]{15}’<\/p>\n

The problem is that intel_pmu_lbr_filter() does not fully validate the
\nprivilege level of sampled entries. It filters some mismatches based on
\nthe branch type and the to address, but it does not reject entries whose
\nfrom address violates the requested branch privilege filter.<\/p>\n
Fix this by extending software filtering to validate both from and to
\naddresses against br_sel. Any LBR entry contains kernel address does not
\nmatch the requested user filter is dropped. This prevents kernel
\naddresses from appearing in user-only branch stacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
