Control Flow Integrity in the Android kernel

10 de outubro de 2018

Posted by Sami Tolvanen, Staff Software Engineer, Android Security & Privacy[Cross-posted from the Android Developers Blog]hardening the kernelcompiler-based security mitigationsControl Flow Integrity (CFI)CFI support available in Android kernel versions 4.9 and 4.14 Protecting against code reuse attacks

Figure 1. In an Android device kernel, LLVM's CFI limits 55% of indirect calls to at most 5 possible targets and 80% to at most 20 targets. Gaining full program visibility with Link Time Optimization (LTO)

Figure 2. A simplified overview of how LTO works in the kernel. All LLVM bitcode is combined, optimized, and generated into native code at link time.4.94.14LDFLAGS += -plugin-opt=-inline-threshold=0 \ -plugin-opt=-unroll-threshold=0 Implementing CFI in the Linux kernelLLVM's CFI4.94.14cross-DSO CFI

Figure 3. An example of a cross-DSO CFI check injected into an arm64 kernel. Type information is passed in X0 and the target address to validate in X1.
