Add RETGUARD to clang for amd64. This security mechanism uses per-function
|
|
random cookies to protect access to function return instructions, with the
|
|
effect that the integrity of the return address is protected, and function
|
|
return instructions are harder to use in ROP gadgets.
|
|
|
|
On function entry the return address is combined with a per-function random
|
|
cookie and stored in the stack frame. The integrity of this value is verified
|
|
before function return, and if this check fails, the program aborts. In this way
|
|
RETGUARD is an improved stack protector, since the cookies are per-function. The
|
|
verification routine is constructed such that the binary space immediately
|
|
before each ret instruction is padded with int03 instructions, which makes these
|
|
return instructions difficult to use in ROP gadgets. In the kernel, this has the
|
|
effect of removing approximately 50% of total ROP gadgets, and 15% of unique
|
|
ROP gadgets compared to the 6.3 release kernel. Function epilogues are
|
|
essentially gadget free, leaving only the polymorphic gadgets that result from
|
|
jumping into the instruction stream partway through other instructions. Work to
|
|
remove these gadgets will continue through other mechanisms.
