proc: Move fdinfo PTRACE_MODE_READ check into the inode .permission operation
The following commits loosened the permissions of /proc/<PID>/fdinfo/ directory, as well as the files within it, from 0500 to 0555 while also introducing a PTRACE_MODE_READ check between the current task and <PID>'s task: - commit 7bc3fa01 ("procfs: allow reading fdinfo with PTRACE_MODE_READ") - commit 1927e498 ("procfs: prevent unprivileged processes accessing fdinfo dir") Before those changes, inode based system calls like inotify_add_watch(2) would fail when the current task didn't have sufficient read permissions: [...] lstat("/proc/1/task/1/fdinfo", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0500, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 inotify_add_watch(64, "/proc/1/task/1/fdinfo", IN_MODIFY|IN_ATTRIB|IN_MOVED_FROM|IN_MOVED_TO|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE| IN_ONLYDIR|IN_DONT_FOLLOW|IN_EXCL_UNLINK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) [...] This matches the documented behavior in the inotify_add_watch(2) man page: ERRORS EACCES Read access to the given file is not permitted. After those changes, inotify_add_watch(2) started succeeding despite the current task not having PTRACE_MODE_READ privileges on the target task: [...] lstat("/proc/1/task/1/fdinfo", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 inotify_add_watch(64, "/proc/1/task/1/fdinfo", IN_MODIFY|IN_ATTRIB|IN_MOVED_FROM|IN_MOVED_TO|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE| IN_ONLYDIR|IN_DONT_FOLLOW|IN_EXCL_UNLINK) = 1757 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/1/task/1/fdinfo", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) [...] This change in behavior broke .NET prior to v7. See the github link below for the v7 commit that inadvertently/quietly (?) fixed .NET after the kernel changes mentioned above. Return to the old behavior by moving the PTRACE_MODE_READ check out of the file .open operation and into the inode .permission operation: [...] lstat("/proc/1/task/1/fdinfo", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 inotify_add_watch(64, "/proc/1/task/1/fdinfo", IN_MODIFY|IN_ATTRIB|IN_MOVED_FROM|IN_MOVED_TO|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE| IN_ONLYDIR|IN_DONT_FOLLOW|IN_EXCL_UNLINK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) [...] Reported-by: Kevin Parsons (Microsoft) <parsonskev@gmail.com> Link: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/commit/89e5469ac591b82d38510fe7de98346cce74ad4f Link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75379065/start-self-contained-net6-build-exe-as-service-on-raspbian-system-unauthorizeda Fixes: 7bc3fa01 ("procfs: allow reading fdinfo with PTRACE_MODE_READ") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> Cc: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Cc: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Cc: Kalesh Singh <kaleshsingh@google.com> Cc: Hardik Garg <hargar@linux.microsoft.com> Cc: Allen Pais <apais@linux.microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks (Microsoft) <code@tyhicks.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240501005646.745089-1-code@tyhicks.comSigned-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
