From 4f134b89a24b965991e7c345b9a4591821f7c2a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Willy Tarreau Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2020 08:36:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] lib/syscall: fix syscall registers retrieval on 32-bit platforms Lilith >_> and Claudio Bozzato of Cisco Talos security team reported that collect_syscall() improperly casts the syscall registers to 64-bit values leaking the uninitialized last 24 bytes on 32-bit platforms, that are visible in /proc/self/syscall. The cause is that info->data.args are u64 while syscall_get_arguments() uses longs, as hinted by the bogus pointer cast in the function. Let's just proceed like the other call places, by retrieving the registers into an array of longs before assigning them to the caller's array. This was successfully tested on x86_64, i386 and ppc32.
