Merge branch 'next-lockdown' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security

2019-09-28T15:14:15+00:00

Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
"This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.

From the original description:

This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.

The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
to not requiring external patches.

There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:

- Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/

- Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.

The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
permitted.

The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:

lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}

Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.

This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
overriden by kernel configuration.

New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
include/linux/security.h for details.

The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.

Stephen Rothwell noted that commit 9d1f8be5cf42 ("bpf: Restrict bpf
when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode") is missing a
Signed-off-by from its author. Matthew responded that he is providing
this under category (c) of the DCO"

lockdown: Lock down TIOCSSERIAL

2019-08-20T04:54:16+00:00

Lock down TIOCSSERIAL as that can be used to change the ioport and irq
settings on a serial port.  This only appears to be an issue for the serial
drivers that use the core serial code.  All other drivers seem to either
ignore attempts to change port/irq or give an error.

tty: serial_core: Set port active bit in uart_port_activate

2019-06-18T07:52:26+00:00

A bug was introduced by commit b3b576461864 ("tty: serial_core: convert
uart_open to use tty_port_open"). It caused a constant warning printed
into the system log regarding the tty and port counter mismatch:

[   21.644197] ttyS ttySx: tty_port_close_start: tty->count = 1 port count = 2

in case if session hangup was detected so the warning is printed starting
from the second open-close iteration.

Particularly the problem was discovered in situation when there is a
serial tty device without hardware back-end being setup. It is considered
by the tty-serial subsystems as a hardware problem with session hang up.
In this case uart_startup() will return a positive value with TTY_IO_ERROR
flag set in corresponding tty_struct instance. The same value will get
passed to be returned from the activate() callback and then being returned
from tty_port_open(). But since in this case tty_port_block_til_ready()
isn't called the TTY_PORT_ACTIVE flag isn't set (while the method had been
called before tty_port_open conversion was introduced and the rest of the
subsystem code expected the bit being set in this case), which prevents the
uart_hangup() method to perform any cleanups including the tty port
counter setting to zero. So the next attempt to open/close the tty device
will discover the counters mismatch.

In order to fix the problem we need to manually set the TTY_PORT_ACTIVE
flag in case if uart_startup() returned a positive value. In this case
the hang up procedure will perform a full set of cleanup actions including
the port ref-counter resetting.

TTY: serial_core, add ->install

2019-04-25T09:37:41+00:00

We need to compute the uart state only on the first open. This is
usually what is done in the ->install hook. serial_core used to do this
in ->open on every open. So move it to ->install.

As a side effect, it ensures the state is set properly in the window
after tty_init_dev is called, but before uart_open. This fixes a bunch
of races between tty_open and flush_to_ldisc we were dealing with
recently.

One of such bugs was attempted to fix in commit fedb5760648a (serial:
fix race between flush_to_ldisc and tty_open), but it only took care of
a couple of functions (uart_start and uart_unthrottle).  I was able to
reproduce the crash on a SLE system, but in uart_write_room which is
also called from flush_to_ldisc via process_echoes. I was *unable* to
reproduce the bug locally. It is due to having this patch in my queue
since 2012!

So revert the upstream commit here as my local patch should fix the

serial: fix race between flush_to_ldisc and tty_open

2019-01-31T18:43:04+00:00

There still is a race window after the commit b027e2298bd588
("tty: fix data race between tty_init_dev and flush of buf"),
and we encountered this crash issue if receive_buf call comes
before tty initialization completes in tty_open and
tty->driver_data may be NULL.

                                   /*init tty->driver_data*/

it can be fixed by extending ldisc semaphore lock in tty_init_dev
to driver_data initialized completely after tty->ops->open(), but
this will lead to get lock on one function and unlock in some other
function, and hard to maintain, so fix this race only by checking
tty->driver_data when receiving, and return if tty->driver_data
is NULL, and n_tty_receive_buf_common maybe calls uart_unthrottle,
so add the same check.

Because the tty layer knows nothing about the driver associated with the
device, the tty layer can not do anything here, it is up to the tty
driver itself to check for this type of race.  Fix up the serial driver
to correctly check to see if it is finished binding with the device when
being called, and if not, abort the tty calls.

uart: Fix crash in uart_write and uart_put_char

2019-01-18T12:03:47+00:00

We were experiencing a crash similar to the one reported as part of
commit:a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race between uart_put_char() and
uart_shutdown()") in our testbed as well. We continue to observe the same
crash after integrating the commit a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race between
uart_put_char() and uart_shutdown()")

On reviewing the change, the port lock should be taken prior to checking for
if (!circ->buf) in fn. __uart_put_char and other fns. that update the buffer
uart_state->xmit.
