commit 6994eefb upstream. Fix two issues: When called for PTRACE_TRACEME, ptrace_link() would obtain an RCU reference to the parent's objective credentials, then give that pointer to get_cred(). However, the object lifetime rules for things like struct cred do not permit unconditionally turning an RCU reference into a stable reference. PTRACE_TRACEME records the parent's credentials as if the parent was acting as the subject, but that's not the case. If a malicious unprivileged child uses PTRACE_TRACEME and the parent is privileged, and at a later point, the parent process becomes attacker-controlled (because it drops privileges and calls execve()), the attacker ends up with control over two processes with a privileged ptrace relationship, which can be abused to ptrace a suid binary and obtain root privileges. Fix both of these by always recording the credentials of the process that is requesting the creation of the ptrace relationship: current_cred() can't change under us, and current is the proper subject for access control. This change is theoretically userspace-visible, but I am not aware of any code that it will actually break. Fixes: 64b875f7 ("ptrace: Capture the ptracer's creds not PT_PTRACE_CAP") Signed-off-by:

commit f6e2aa91 upstream. Recently syzbot in conjunction with KMSAN reported that ptrace_peek_siginfo can copy an uninitialized siginfo to userspace. Inspecting ptrace_peek_siginfo confirms this. The problem is that off when initialized from args.off can be initialized to a negaive value. At which point the "if (off >= 0)" test to see if off became negative fails because off started off negative. Prevent the core problem by adding a variable found that is only true if a siginfo is found and copied to a temporary in preparation for being copied to userspace. Prevent args.off from being truncated when being assigned to off by testing that off is <= the maximum possible value of off. Convert off to an unsigned long so that we should not have to truncate args.off, we have well defined overflow behavior so if we add another check we won't risk fighting undefined compiler behavior, and so that we have a type whose maximum value is easy to test for.

There are a few system calls (pselect, ppoll, etc) which replace a task sigmask while they are running in a kernel-space When a task calls one of these syscalls, the kernel saves a current sigmask in task->saved_sigmask and sets a syscall sigmask. On syscall-exit-stop, ptrace traps a task before restoring the saved_sigmask, so PTRACE_GETSIGMASK returns the syscall sigmask and PTRACE_SETSIGMASK does nothing, because its sigmask is replaced by saved_sigmask, when the task returns to user-space. This patch fixes this problem. PTRACE_GETSIGMASK returns saved_sigmask if it's set. PTRACE_SETSIGMASK drops the TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag.

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by:

Linus recently observed that if we did not worry about the padding member in struct siginfo it is only about 48 bytes, and 48 bytes is much nicer than 128 bytes for allocating on the stack and copying around in the kernel. The obvious thing of only adding the padding when userspace is including siginfo.h won't work as there are sigframe definitions in the kernel that embed struct siginfo. So split siginfo in two; kernel_siginfo and siginfo. Keeping the traditional name for the userspace definition. While the version that is used internally to the kernel and ultimately will not be padded to 128 bytes is called kernel_siginfo. The definition of struct kernel_siginfo I have put in include/signal_types.h A set of buildtime checks has been added to verify the two structures have the same field offsets. To make it easy to verify the change kernel_siginfo retains the same size as siginfo. The reduction in size comes in a following change. Signed-off-by: -

Currently, IBPB is only issued in cases when switching into a non-dumpable process, the rationale being to protect such 'important and security sensitive' processess (such as GPG) from data leaking into a different userspace process via spectre v2. This is however completely insufficient to provide proper userspace-to-userpace spectrev2 protection, as any process can poison branch buffers before being scheduled out, and the newly scheduled process immediately becomes spectrev2 victim. In order to minimize the performance impact (for usecases that do require spectrev2 protection), issue the barrier only in cases when switching between processess where the victim can't be ptraced by the potential attacker (as in such cases, the attacker doesn't have to bother with branch buffers at all).

Now that siginfo is never allocated for SIGKILL and SIGSTOP there is no difference between SEND_SIG_PRIV and SEND_SIG_FORCED for SIGKILL and SIGSTOP. This makes SEND_SIG_FORCED unnecessary and redundant in the presence of SIGKILL and SIGSTOP. Therefore change users of SEND_SIG_FORCED that are sending SIGKILL or SIGSTOP to use SEND_SIG_PRIV instead. This removes the last users of SEND_SIG_FORCED. Reviewed-by:

struct siginfo is a union and the kernel since 2.4 has been hiding a union tag in the high 16bits of si_code using the values: __SI_KILL __SI_TIMER __SI_POLL __SI_FAULT __SI_CHLD __SI_RT __SI_MESGQ __SI_SYS While this looks plausible on the surface, in practice this situation has not worked well. - Injected positive signals are not copied to user space properly unless they have these magic high bits set. - Injected positive signals are not reported properly by signalfd unless they have these magic high bits set. - These kernel internal values leaked to userspace via ptrace_peek_siginfo - It was possible to inject these kernel internal values and cause the the kernel to misbehave. - Kernel developers got confused and expected these kernel internal values in userspace in kernel self tests. - Kernel developers got confused and set si_code to __SI_FAULT which is SI_USER in userspace which causes userspace to think an ordinary user sent the signal and that it was not kernel generated. - The values make it impossible to reorganize the code to transform siginfo_copy_to_user into a plain copy_to_user. As si_code must be massaged before being passed to userspace. So remove these kernel internal si codes and make the kernel code simpler and more maintainable. To replace these kernel internal magic si_codes introduce the helper function siginfo_layout, that takes a signal number and an si_code and computes which union member of siginfo is being used. Have siginfo_layout return an enumeration so that gcc will have enough information to warn if a switch statement does not handle all of union members. A couple of architectures have a messed up ABI that defines signal specific duplications of SI_USER which causes more special cases in siginfo_layout than I would like. The good news is only problem architectures pay the cost. Update all of the code that used the previous magic __SI_ values to use the new SIL_ values and to call siginfo_layout to get those values. Escept where not all of the cases are handled remove the defaults in the switch statements so that if a new case is missed in the future the lack will show up at compile time. Modify the code that copies siginfo si_code to userspace to just copy the value and not cast si_code to a short first. The high bits are no longer used to hold a magic union member. Fixup the siginfo header files to stop including the __SI_ values in their constants and for the headers that were missing it to properly update the number of si_codes for each signal type. The fixes to copy_siginfo_from_user32 implementations has the interesting property that several of them perviously should never have worked as the __SI_ values they depended up where kernel internal. With that dependency gone those implementations should work much better. The idea of not passing the __SI_ values out to userspace and then not reinserting them has been tested with criu and criu worked without changes. Ref: 2.4.0-test1 Signed-off-by:

When I introduced ptracer_cred I failed to consider the weirdness of fork where the task_struct copies the old value by default. This winds up leaving ptracer_cred set even when a process forks and the child process does not wind up being ptraced. Because ptracer_cred is not set on non-ptraced processes whose parents were ptraced this has broken the ability of the enlightenment window manager to start setuid children. Fix this by properly initializing ptracer_cred in ptrace_init_task This must be done with a little bit of care to preserve the current value of ptracer_cred when ptrace carries through fork. Re-reading the ptracer_cred from the ptracing process at this point is inconsistent with how PT_PTRACE_CAP has been maintained all of these years. Tested-by:

In PT_SEIZED + LISTEN mode STOP/CONT signals cause a wakeup against __TASK_TRACED. If this races with the ptrace_unfreeze_traced at the end of a PTRACE_LISTEN, this can wake the task /after/ the check against __TASK_TRACED, but before the reset of state to TASK_TRACED. This causes it to instead clobber TASK_WAKING, allowing a subsequent wakeup against TRACED while the task is still on the rq wake_list, corrupting it. Oleg said: "The kernel can crash or this can lead to other hard-to-debug problems. In short, "task->state = TASK_TRACED" in ptrace_unfreeze_traced() assumes that nobody else can wake it up, but PTRACE_LISTEN breaks the contract.

It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to read the file. This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only executables. As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing began to read the target processes mm. In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by ptrace_access_vm. There remain several ptrace sites that still use access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks. As such it does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls. This bug has always existed in Linux. Fixes: v1.0 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by:

When the flag PT_PTRACE_CAP was added the PTRACE_TRACEME path was overlooked. This can result in incorrect behavior when an application like strace traces an exec of a setuid executable. Further PT_PTRACE_CAP does not have enough information for making good security decisions as it does not report which user namespace the capability is in. This has already allowed one mistake through insufficient granulariy. I found this issue when I was testing another corner case of exec and discovered that I could not get strace to set PT_PTRACE_CAP even when running strace as root with a full set of caps. This change fixes the above issue with strace allowing stracing as root a setuid executable without disabling setuid. More fundamentaly this change allows what is allowable at all times, by using the correct information in it's decision.

During exec dumpable is cleared if the file that is being executed is not readable by the user executing the file. A bug in ptrace_may_access allows reading the file if the executable happens to enter into a subordinate user namespace (aka clone(CLONE_NEWUSER), unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER), or setns(fd, CLONE_NEWUSER). This problem is fixed with only necessary userspace breakage by adding a user namespace owner to mm_struct, captured at the time of exec, so it is clear in which user namespace CAP_SYS_PTRACE must be present in to be able to safely give read permission to the executable. The function ptrace_may_access is modified to verify that the ptracer has CAP_SYS_ADMIN in task->mm->user_ns instead of task->cred->user_ns. This ensures that if the task changes it's cred into a subordinate user namespace it does not become ptraceable. The function ptrace_attach is modified to only set PT_PTRACE_CAP when CAP_SYS_PTRACE is held over task->mm->user_ns. The intent of PT_PTRACE_CAP is to be a flag to note that whatever permission changes the task might go through the tracer has sufficient permissions for it not to be an issue. task->cred->user_ns is always the same as or descendent of mm->user_ns. Which guarantees that having CAP_SYS_PTRACE over mm->user_ns is the worst case for the tasks credentials. To prevent regressions mm->dumpable and mm->user_ns are not considered when a task has no mm.

On __ptrace_detach(), called from do_exit()->exit_notify()-> forget_original_parent()->exit_ptrace(), the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE in thread->flags of the tracee is not cleared up. This results in the tracehook_report_syscall_* being called (though there's no longer a tracer listening to that) upon its further syscalls. Example scenario - attach "strace" to a running process and kill it (the strace) with SIGKILL. You'll see that the syscall trace hooks are still being called. The clearing of this flag should be moved from ptrace_detach() to __ptrace_detach(). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1472759493-20554-1-git-send-email-alnovak@suse.czSigned-off-by:

The use of config_enabled() against config options is ambiguous. In practical terms, config_enabled() is equivalent to IS_BUILTIN(), but the author might have used it for the meaning of IS_ENABLED(). Using IS_ENABLED(), IS_BUILTIN(), IS_MODULE() etc. makes the intention clearer. This commit replaces config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() where possible. This commit is only touching bool config options. I noticed two cases where config_enabled() is used against a tristate option: - config_enabled(CONFIG_HWMON) [ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/thermal.c ] - config_enabled(CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE) [ drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/opregion.c ] I did not touch them because they should be converted to IS_BUILTIN() in order to keep the logic, but I was not sure it was the authors' intention.

By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID / permitted capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually intended to use its credentials. To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller credentials (e.g. in case out-of-tree code or newly added code omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS flag), use two new flags and require one of them to be set. The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped its privileges, e.g. by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the intent to perform following syscalls with the credentials of a user, it still passed ptrace access checks that the user would not be able to pass. While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged task to perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the ptrace access check is reused for things in procfs. In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries only rely on ptrace access checks: /proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in this scenario: lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -> /root/foobar drwx------ root root /root drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar -rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary changes its effective credentials as described and then dumps a user-specified file, this could be used by an attacker to reveal the memory layout of root's processes or reveal the contents of files he is not allowed to access (through /proc/$pid/cwd).

PTRACE_SECCOMP_GET_FILTER allows the tracer to dump the user's classic BPF seccomp filters. addr should be an integer which represents the ith seccomp filter (0 is the most recently installed filter). data should be a struct sock_filter * with enough room for the ith filter, or NULL, in which case the filter is not saved. The return value for this command is the number of BPF instructions the program represents, or negative in the case of errors. Command specific errors are ENOENT: which indicates that there is no ith filter in this seccomp tree, and EMEDIUMTYPE, which indicates that the ith filter was not installed as a classic BPF filter. A caveat with this approach is that there is no way to get explicitly at the heirarchy of seccomp filters, and users need to memcmp() filters to decide which are inherited. This means that a task which installs two of the same filter can potentially confuse users of this interface. v2: * make save_orig const * check that the orig_prog exists (not necessary right now, but when grows eBPF support it will be) * s/n/filter_off and make it an unsigned long to match ptrace * count "down" the tree instead of "up" when passing a filter offset v3: * don't take the current task's lock for inspecting its seccomp mode * use a 0x42** constant for the ptrace command value v4: * don't copy to userspace while holding spinlocks v5: * add another condition to WARN_ON v6: * rebase on net-next Signed-off-by:Tycho Andersen <tycho.andersen@canonical.com> Acked-by:

This patch is the first step in enabling checkpoint/restore of processes with seccomp enabled. One of the things CRIU does while dumping tasks is inject code into them via ptrace to collect information that is only available to the process itself. However, if we are in a seccomp mode where these processes are prohibited from making these syscalls, then what CRIU does kills the task. This patch adds a new ptrace option, PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SECCOMP, that enables a task from the init user namespace which has CAP_SYS_ADMIN and no seccomp filters to disable (and re-enable) seccomp filters for another task so that they can be successfully dumped (and restored). We restrict the set of processes that can disable seccomp through ptrace because although today ptrace can be used to bypass seccomp, there is some discussion of closing this loophole in the future and we would like this patch to not depend on that behavior and be future proofed for when it is removed. Note that seccomp can be suspended before any filters are actually installed; this behavior is useful on criu restore, so that we can suspend seccomp, restore the filters, unmap our restore code from the restored process' address space, and then resume the task by detaching and have the filters resumed as well. v2 changes: * require that the tracer have no seccomp filters installed * drop TIF_NOTSC manipulation from the patch * change from ptrace command to a ptrace option and use this ptrace option as the flag to check. This means that as soon as the tracer detaches/dies, seccomp is re-enabled and as a corrollary that one can not disable seccomp across PTRACE_ATTACHs. v3 changes: * get rid of various #ifdefs everywhere * report more sensible errors when PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SECCOMP is incorrectly used v4 changes: * get rid of may_suspend_seccomp() in favor of a capable() check in ptrace directly v5 changes: * check that seccomp is not enabled (or suspended) on the tracer Signed-off-by:

ptrace_detach() re-checks ->ptrace under tasklist lock and calls release_task() if __ptrace_detach() returns true. This was needed because the __TASK_TRACED tracee could be killed/untraced, and it could even pass exit_notify() before we take tasklist_lock. But this is no longer possible after 9899d11f "ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL". We can turn these checks into WARN_ON() and remove release_task(). While at it, document the setting of child->exit_code. Signed-off-by:

ptrace_resume() is called when the tracee is still __TASK_TRACED. We set tracee->exit_code and then wake_up_state() changes tracee->state. If the tracer's sub-thread does wait() in between, task_stopped_code(ptrace => T) wrongly looks like another report from tracee. This confuses debugger, and since wait_task_stopped() clears ->exit_code the tracee can miss a signal. Test-case: #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <pthread.h> #include <assert.h> int pid; void *waiter(void *arg) { int stat; for (;;) { assert(pid == wait(&stat)); assert(WIFSTOPPED(stat)); if (WSTOPSIG(stat) == SIGHUP) continue; assert(WSTOPSIG(stat) == SIGCONT); printf("ERR! extra/wrong report:%x\n", stat); } } int main(void) { pthread_t thread; pid = fork(); if (!pid) { assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0); for (;;) kill(getpid(), SIGHUP); } assert(pthread_create(&thread, NULL, waiter, NULL) == 0); for (;;) ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, SIGCONT); return 0; } Note for stable: the bug is very old, but without 9899d11f "ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL" the fix should use lock_task_sighand(child).

Now that forget_original_parent() uses ->ptrace_entry for EXIT_DEAD tasks, we can simply pass "dead_children" list to exit_ptrace() and remove another release_task() loop. Plus this way we do not need to drop and reacquire tasklist_lock. Also shift the list_empty(ptraced) check, if we want this optimization it makes sense to eliminate the function call altogether.

The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action' function to be provided which does the actual waiting. There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical. Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). So: Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action to make it explicit that they need an action function. Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use a standard one. The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action function. All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their action functions have been discarded. wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and interpolate their own error code as appropriate. The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function. David Howells confirms this should be uniformly "uninterruptible" The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call. A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action' functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan' field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan). As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So the distinction will still be visible, only with different function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the gfs2/glock.c case). Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware schedule call as NFS.

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.

__ptrace_may_access() checks get_dumpable/ptrace_has_cap/etc if task != current, this can can lead to surprising results. For example, a sub-thread can't readlink("/proc/self/exe") if the executable is not readable. setup_new_exec()->would_dump() notices that inode_permission(MAY_READ) fails and then it does set_dumpable(suid_dumpable). After that get_dumpable() fails. (It is not clear why proc_pid_readlink() checks get_dumpable(), perhaps we could add PTRACE_MODE_NODUMPABLE) Change __ptrace_may_access() to use same_thread_group() instead of "task == current". Any security check is pointless when the tasks share the same ->mm. Signed-off-by:Mark Grondona <mgrondona@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by:
