2017-07-18fs/exec.c: account for argv/envp pointersKees Cook1-4/+24
commit 98da7d08850fb8bdeb395d6368ed15753304aa0c upstream. When limiting the argv/envp strings during exec to 1/4 of the stack limit, the storage of the pointers to the strings was not included. This means that an exec with huge numbers of tiny strings could eat 1/4 of the stack limit in strings and then additional space would be later used by the pointers to the strings. For example, on 32-bit with a 8MB stack rlimit, an exec with 1677721 single-byte strings would consume less than 2MB of stack, the max (8MB / 4) amount allowed, but the pointers to the strings would consume the remaining additional stack space (1677721 * 4 == 6710884). The result (1677721 + 6710884 == 8388605) would exhaust stack space entirely. Controlling this stack exhaustion could result in pathological behavior in setuid binaries (CVE-2017-1000365).

2017-02-23coredump: fix unfreezable coredumping taskAndrey Ryabinin1-1/+5
commit 70d78fe7c8b640b5acfad56ad341985b3810998a upstream. It could be not possible to freeze coredumping task when it waits for 'core_state->startup' completion, because threads are frozen in get_signal() before they got a chance to complete 'core_state->startup'. Inability to freeze a task during suspend will cause suspend to fail. Also CRIU uses cgroup freezer during dump operation. So with an unfreezable task the CRIU dump will fail because it waits for a transition from 'FREEZING' to 'FROZEN' state which will never happen. Use freezer_do_not_count() to tell freezer to ignore coredumping task while it waits for core_state->startup completion.

2016-05-01fs/coredump: prevent fsuid=0 dumps into user-controlled directoriesJann Horn1-4/+26
commit 378c6520e7d29280f400ef2ceaf155c86f05a71a upstream. This commit fixes the following security hole affecting systems where all of the following conditions are fulfilled: - The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2. - The kernel.core_pattern sysctl's value starts with "/". (Systems where kernel.core_pattern starts with "|/" are not affected.) - Unprivileged user namespace creation is permitted. (This is true on Linux >=3.8, but some distributions disallow it by default using a distro patch.) Under these conditions, if a program executes under secure exec rules, causing it to run with the SUID_DUMP_ROOT flag, then unshares its user namespace, changes its root directory and crashes, the coredump will be written using fsuid=0 and a path derived from kernel.core_pattern - but this path is interpreted relative to the root directory of the process, allowing the attacker to control where a coredump will be written with root privileges. To fix the security issue, always interpret core_pattern for dumps that are written under SUID_DUMP_ROOT relative to the root directory of init.

2015-11-27fs: if a coredump already exists, unlink and recreate with O_EXCLJann Horn1-6/+32
commit fbb1816942c04429e85dbf4c1a080accc534299e upstream. It was possible for an attacking user to trick root (or another user) into writing his coredumps into an attacker-readable, pre-existing file using rename() or link(), causing the disclosure of secret data from the victim process' virtual memory. Depending on the configuration, it was also possible to trick root into overwriting system files with coredumps. Fix that issue by never writing coredumps into existing files. Requirements for the attack: - The attack only applies if the victim's process has a nonzero RLIMIT_CORE and is dumpable. - The attacker can trick the victim into coredumping into an attacker-writable directory D, either because the core_pattern is relative and the victim's cwd is attacker-writable or because an absolute core_pattern pointing to a world-writable directory is used. - The attacker has one of these: A: on a system with protected_hardlinks=0: execute access to a folder containing a victim-owned, attacker-readable file on the same partition as D, and the victim-owned file will be deleted before the main part of the attack takes place. (In practice, there are lots of files that fulfill this condition, e.g. entries in Debian's /var/lib/dpkg/info/.) This does not apply to most Linux systems because most distros set protected_hardlinks=1. B: on a system with protected_hardlinks=1: execute access to a folder containing a victim-owned, attacker-readable and attacker-writable file on the same partition as D, and the victim-owned file will be deleted before the main part of the attack takes place. (This seems to be uncommon.) C: on any system, independent of protected_hardlinks: write access to a non-sticky folder containing a victim-owned, attacker-readable file on the same partition as D (This seems to be uncommon.) The basic idea is that the attacker moves the victim-owned file to where he expects the victim process to dump its core. The victim process dumps its core into the existing file, and the attacker reads the coredump from it. If the attacker can't move the file because he does not have write access to the containing directory, he can instead link the file to a directory he controls, then wait for the original link to the file to be deleted (because the kernel checks that the link count of the corefile is 1). A less reliable variant that requires D to be non-sticky works with link() and does not require deletion of the original link: link() the file into D, but then unlink() it directly before the kernel performs the link count check. On systems with protected_hardlinks=0, this variant allows an attacker to not only gain information from coredumps, but also clobber existing, victim-writable files with coredumps. (This could theoretically lead to a privilege escalation.)

2015-11-27fs: make dumpable=2 require fully qualified pathKees Cook1-3/+14
commit 9520628e8ceb69fa9a4aee6b57f22675d9e1b709 upstream. When the suid_dumpable sysctl is set to "2", and there is no core dump pipe defined in the core_pattern sysctl, a local user can cause core files to be written to root-writable directories, potentially with user-controlled content. This means an admin can unknowningly reintroduce a variation of CVE-2006-2451, allowing local users to gain root privileges. $ cat /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable 2 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern core $ ulimit -c unlimited $ cd / $ ls -l core ls: cannot access core: No such file or directory $ touch core touch: cannot touch `core': Permission denied $ OHAI="evil-string-here" ping localhost >/dev/null 2>&1 & $ pid=$! $ sleep 1 $ kill -SEGV $pid $ ls -l core -rw------- 1 root kees 458752 Jun 21 11:35 core $ sudo strings core | grep evil OHAI=evil-string-here While cron has been fixed to abort reading a file when there is any parse error, there are still other sensitive directories that will read any file present and skip unparsable lines. Instead of introducing a suid_dumpable=3 mode and breaking all users of mode 2, this only disables the unsafe portion of mode 2 (writing to disk via relative path). Most users of mode 2 (e.g. Chrome OS) already use a core dump pipe handler, so this change will not break them. For the situations where a pipe handler is not defined but mode 2 is still active, crash dumps will only be written to fully qualified paths. If a relative path is defined (e.g. the default "core" pattern), dump attempts will trigger a printk yelling about the lack of a fully qualified path.

2014-01-03exec/ptrace: fix get_dumpable() incorrect testsKees Cook1-0/+6
commit d049f74f2dbe71354d43d393ac3a188947811348 upstream. The get_dumpable() return value is not boolean. Most users of the function actually want to be testing for non-SUID_DUMP_USER(1) rather than SUID_DUMP_DISABLE(0). The SUID_DUMP_ROOT(2) is also considered a protected state. Almost all places did this correctly, excepting the two places fixed in this patch. Wrong logic: if (dumpable == SUID_DUMP_DISABLE) { /* be protective */ } or if (dumpable == 0) { /* be protective */ } or if (!dumpable) { /* be protective */ } Correct logic: if (dumpable != SUID_DUMP_USER) { /* be protective */ } or if (dumpable != 1) { /* be protective */ } Without this patch, if the system had set the sysctl fs/suid_dumpable=2, a user was able to ptrace attach to processes that had dropped privileges to that user. (This may have been partially mitigated if Yama was enabled.) The macros have been moved into the file that declares get/set_dumpable(), which means things like the ia64 code can see them too.

2013-03-06exec: use -ELOOP for max recursion depthKees Cook1-5/+5
commit d740269867021faf4ce38a449353d2b986c34a67 upstream. To avoid an explosion of request_module calls on a chain of abusive scripts, fail maximum recursion with -ELOOP instead of -ENOEXEC. As soon as maximum recursion depth is hit, the error will fail all the way back up the chain, aborting immediately. This also has the side-effect of stopping the user's shell from attempting to reexecute the top-level file as a shell script. As seen in the dash source: if (cmd != path_bshell && errno == ENOEXEC) { *argv-- = cmd; *argv = cmd = path_bshell; goto repeat; } The above logic was designed for running scripts automatically that lacked the "#!" header, not to re-try failed recursion. On a legitimate -ENOEXEC, things continue to behave as the shell expects. Additionally, when tracking recursion, the binfmt handlers should not be involved. The recursion being tracked is the depth of calls through search_binary_handler(), so that function should be exclusively responsible for tracking the depth.

2013-01-03exec: do not leave bprm->interp on stackKees Cook1-0/+15
commit b66c5984017533316fd1951770302649baf1aa33 upstream. If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak into the command line. Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively. However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching binfmt modules. Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and binfmt_misc does not expect to get restarted. They leave bprm->interp pointing to their local stack. This means on restart bprm->interp is left pointing into unused stack memory which can then be copied into the userspace argv areas. After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules. As such, we need to protect the changes to interp. This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the bprm->interp. To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default value is left as-is. Only when passing through binfmt_script or binfmt_misc does an allocation take place.

2012-05-11exit_signal: simplify the "we have changed execution domain" logicOleg Nesterov1-0/+3
commit e636825346b36a07ccfc8e30946d52855e21f681 upstream. exit_notify() checks "tsk->self_exec_id != tsk->parent_exec_id" to handle the "we have changed execution domain" case. We can change do_thread() to always set ->exit_signal = SIGCHLD and remove this check to simplify the code. We could change setup_new_exec() instead, this looks more logical because it increments ->self_exec_id. But note that de_thread() already resets ->exit_signal if it changes the leader, let's keep both changes close to each other. Note that we change ->exit_signal lockless, this changes the rules. Thereafter ->exit_signal is not stable under tasklist but this is fine, the only possible change is OLDSIG -> SIGCHLD. This can race with eligible_child() but the race is harmless. We can race with reparent_leader() which changes our ->exit_signal in parallel, but it does the same change to SIGCHLD. The noticeable user-visible change is that the execing task is not "visible" to do_wait()->eligible_child(__WCLONE) right after exec. To me this looks more logical, and this is consistent with mt case.

2011-10-31oom: remove oom_disable_countDavid Rientjes1-4/+0
This removes mm->oom_disable_count entirely since it's unnecessary and currently buggy. The counter was intended to be per-process but it's currently decremented in the exit path for each thread that exits, causing it to underflow. The count was originally intended to prevent oom killing threads that share memory with threads that cannot be killed since it doesn't lead to future memory freeing. The counter could be fixed to represent all threads sharing the same mm, but it's better to remove the count since: - it is possible that the OOM_DISABLE thread sharing memory with the victim is waiting on that thread to exit and will actually cause future memory freeing, and - there is no guarantee that a thread is disabled from oom killing just because another thread sharing its mm is oom disabled.

2011-08-11move RLIMIT_NPROC check from set_user() to do_execve_common()Vasiliy Kulikov1-0/+17
The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and similar functions. Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on rlimit only. But the check created new security threat: many poorly written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it cannot fail if executed with root privileges. So, the check is removed in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to buggy programs. The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons spawning user processes. Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve(). The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues. Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag. With the change only this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve() behaviour is not changed. Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still exceeded at the moment of execve(). If the process was sleeping for days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was exceeded days ago would be unexpected. If the limit is not exceeded anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork(). The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one. Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag). v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

But second attempt of request_module() does not affect the result of search_binary_handler().

Test-case: void *tfunc(void *arg) { execvp("true", NULL); return NULL; } int main(void) { int pid; if (fork()) { pthread_t t; kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP); pthread_create(&t, NULL, tfunc, NULL); for (;;) pause(); } pid = getppid(); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0,0) == 0); while (wait(NULL) > 0) ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0,0); return 0; } It is racy, exit_notify() does __wake_up_parent() too. But in the likely case it triggers the problem: de_thread() does release_task() and the old leader goes away without the notification, the tracer sleeps in do_wait() without children/tracees. Change de_thread() to do __wake_up_parent(traced_leader->parent). Since it is already EXIT_DEAD we can do this without ptrace_unlink(), EXIT_DEAD threads do not exist from do_wait's pov.

2011-07-01ptrace: make former thread ID available via PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG after ↵Denys Vlasenko1-1/+8
PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stop When multithreaded program execs under ptrace, all traced threads report WIFEXITED status, except for thread group leader and the thread which execs. Unless tracer tracks thread group relationship between tracees, which is a nontrivial task, it will not detect that execed thread no longer exists. This patch allows tracer to figure out which thread performed this exec, by requesting PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG in PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stop. Another, samller problem which is solved by this patch is that tracer now can figure out which of the several concurrent execs in multithreaded program succeeded.

Change de_thread() to set old_leader->exit_signal = -1. This is good for the consistency, it is no longer the leader and all sub-threads have exit_signal = -1 set by copy_process(CLONE_THREAD). And this allows us to micro-optimize thread_group_leader(), it can simply check exit_signal >= 0. This also makes sense because we should move ->group_leader from task_struct to signal_struct.

At this point, tracehooks aren't useful to mainline kernel and mostly just add an extra layer of obfuscation. Although they have comments, without actual in-kernel users, it is difficult to tell what are their assumptions and they're actually trying to achieve. To mainline kernel, they just aren't worth keeping around. This patch kills the following clone and exec related tracehooks. tracehook_prepare_clone() tracehook_finish_clone() tracehook_report_clone() tracehook_report_clone_complete() tracehook_unsafe_exec() The changes are mostly trivial - logic is moved to the caller and comments are merged and adjusted appropriately. The only exception is in check_unsafe_exec() where LSM_UNSAFE_PTRACE* are OR'd to bprm->unsafe instead of setting it, which produces the same result as the field is always zero on entry. It also tests p->ptrace instead of (p->ptrace & PT_PTRACED) for consistency, which also gives the same result. This doesn't introduce any behavior change.

2011-06-17KEYS/DNS: Fix ____call_usermodehelper() to not lose the session keyringDavid Howells1-1/+1
____call_usermodehelper() now erases any credentials set by the subprocess_inf::init() function. The problem is that commit 17f60a7da150 ("capabilites: allow the application of capability limits to usermode helpers") creates and commits new credentials with prepare_kernel_cred() after the call to the init() function. This wipes all keyrings after umh_keys_init() is called. The best way to deal with this is to put the init() call just prior to the commit_creds() call, and pass the cred pointer to init(). That means that umh_keys_init() and suchlike can modify the credentials _before_ they are published and potentially in use by the rest of the system. This prevents request_key() from working as it is prevented from passing the session keyring it set up with the authorisation token to /sbin/request-key, and so the latter can't assume the authority to instantiate the key. This causes the in-kernel DNS resolver to fail with ENOKEY unconditionally.

2011-06-15Revert "fs/exec.c: use BUILD_BUG_ON for VM_STACK_FLAGS & ↵Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
VM_STACK_INCOMPLETE_SETUP" This reverts commit 7f81c8890c15a10f5220bebae3b6dfae4961962a. It turns out that it's not actually a build-time check on x86-64 UML, which does some seriously crazy stuff with VM_STACK_FLAGS. The VM_STACK_FLAGS define depends on the arch-supplied VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS value, and on x86-64 UML we have arch/um/sys-x86_64/shared/sysdep/vm-flags.h: #define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS \ (test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) ? vm_stack_flags32 : vm_stack_flags) #define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS vm_stack_flags (yes, seriously: two different #define's for that thing, with the first one being inside an "#ifdef TIF_IA32") It's possible that it is UML that should just be fixed in this area, but for now let's just undo the (very small) optimization.

2011-06-09exec: delay address limit change until point of no returnMathias Krause1-4/+1
Unconditionally changing the address limit to USER_DS and not restoring it to its old value in the error path is wrong because it prevents us using kernel memory on repeated calls to this function. This, in fact, breaks the fallback of hard coded paths to the init program from being ever successful if the first candidate fails to load. With this patch applied switching to USER_DS is delayed until the point of no return is reached which makes it possible to have a multi-arch rootfs with one arch specific init binary for each of the (hard coded) probed paths. Since the address limit is already set to USER_DS when start_thread() will be invoked, this redundancy can be safely removed.

2011-06-04job control: make task_clear_jobctl_pending() clear TRAPPING automaticallyTejun Heo1-1/+1
JOBCTL_TRAPPING indicates that ptracer is waiting for tracee to (re)transit into TRACED. task_clear_jobctl_pending() must be called when either tracee enters TRACED or the transition is cancelled for some reason. The former is achieved by explicitly calling task_clear_jobctl_pending() in ptrace_stop() and the latter by calling it at the end of do_signal_stop(). Calling task_clear_jobctl_trapping() at the end of do_signal_stop() limits the scope TRAPPING can be used and is fragile in that seemingly unrelated changes to tracee's control flow can lead to stuck TRAPPING. We already have task_clear_jobctl_pending() calls on those cancelling events to clear JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING. Cancellations can be handled by making those call sites use JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK instead and updating task_clear_jobctl_pending() such that task_clear_jobctl_trapping() is called automatically if no stop/trap is pending. This patch makes the above changes and removes the fallback task_clear_jobctl_trapping() call from do_signal_stop().

JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK is currently equal to JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING but future patches will add more bits. recalc_sigpending_tsk() is updated to use JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK instead. task_clear_jobctl_pending() takes @mask which in subset of JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK and clears the relevant jobctl bits. If JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING is set, other STOP bits are cleared together. All task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending() users are updated to call task_clear_jobctl_pending() with JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING which is functionally identical to task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending().

2011-05-26coredump: add support for exe_file in core nameJiri Slaby1-0/+38
Now, exe_file is not proc FS dependent, so we can use it to name core file. So we add %E pattern for core file name cration which extract path from mm_struct->exe_file. Then it converts slashes to exclamation marks and pastes the result to the core file name itself. This is useful for environments where binary names are longer than 16 character (the current->comm limitation). Also where there are binaries with same name but in a different path. Further in case the binery itself changes its current->comm after exec. So by doing (s/$/#/ -- # is treated as git comment): $ sysctl kernel.core_pattern='core.%p.%e.%E' $ ln /bin/cat cat45678901234567890 $ ./cat45678901234567890 ^Z $ rm cat45678901234567890 $ fg ^\Quit (core dumped) $ ls core* we now get: core.2434.cat456789012345.!root!cat45678901234567890 (deleted) Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Reviewed-by: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2011-05-26mm: extract exe_file handling from procfsJiri Slaby1-1/+0
Setup and cleanup of mm_struct->exe_file is currently done in fs/proc/. This was because exe_file was needed only for /proc/<pid>/exe. Since we will need the exe_file functionality also for core dumps (so core name can contain full binary path), built this functionality always into the kernel. To achieve that move that out of proc FS to the kernel/ where in fact it should belong. By doing that we can make dup_mm_exe_file static. Also we can drop linux/proc_fs.h inclusion in fs/exec.c and kernel/fork.c.
