CVE-2023-53491 (GCVE-0-2023-53491)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-10-01 11:45 – Updated: 2026-08-05 09:14

Title

start_kernel: Add __no_stack_protector function attribute

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: start_kernel: Add __no_stack_protector function attribute Back during the discussion of commit a9a3ed1eff36 ("x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, third try") we discussed the need for a function attribute to control the omission of stack protectors on a per-function basis; at the time Clang had support for no_stack_protector but GCC did not. This was fixed in gcc-11. Now that the function attribute is available, let's start using it. Callers of boot_init_stack_canary need to use this function attribute unless they're compiled with -fno-stack-protector, otherwise the canary stored in the stack slot of the caller will differ upon the call to boot_init_stack_canary. This will lead to a call to __stack_chk_fail() then panic.

Severity

This was fixed in\ngcc-11. Now that the function attribute is available, let\u0027s start using\nit.\n\nCallers of boot_init_stack_canary need to use this function attribute\nunless they\u0027re compiled with -fno-stack-protector, otherwise the canary\nstored in the stack slot of the caller will differ upon the call to\nboot_init_stack_canary.

The vulnerable component is therefore only reachable via local system context (boot, CPU hotplug, suspend/resume).\nAC:L - On a kernel built with `CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y` and a toolchain that instruments these functions, the stale-canary comparison mismatches deterministically on every boot and every secondary-CPU bring-up \u2014 there is no race, no memory-layout dependency, and no timing window to win. The failure reproduces reliably and at will, so no condition beyond the attacker\u0027s control gates it.\nPR:N - The panic in `start_kernel()` occurs during kernel initialization, before `init(1)` and before any user account, credential check, or namespace exists; the `start_secondary()` path is likewise entered from the secondary-CPU assembly stub with no privilege gate. No authentication or privilege of any kind is involved in reaching the faulty canary check.\nUI:N - No victim action is needed \u2014 the condition is hit automatically as part of normal boot and CPU bring-up. Nothing must be mounted, opened, or clicked.\nS:U - The `__stack_chk_fail()` \u2192 `panic()` sequence is entirely contained within the kernel\u0027s own security authority, affecting only the kernel that executed it. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:N - `__stack_chk_fail()` is a fail-stop check: it halts the system rather than reading or exposing memory, and no out-of-bounds read, uninitialized data, or attacker-retrievable kernel state is produced. Per the pure-crash guidance, there is no information disclosure.\nI:N - Nothing is written out of bounds and no object is corrupted \u2014 the canary in the caller\u0027s frame is intact; the comparison is a false positive caused by the canary *source* changing underneath it. There is no write primitive and no control-flow hijack potential.\nA:H - The outcome is `panic(\"stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_kernel\")`, i.e. an unbootable system, or a panic during secondary-CPU bring-up via `start_secondary()` on hotplug/resume. This is total, unrecoverable loss of availability for the affected machine."
