commit b2f5d4dc38e034eecb7987e513255265ff9aa1cf upstream.

Forced unmount affects not just the mount namespace but the underlying
superblock as well.  Restrict forced unmount to the global root user
for now.  Otherwise it becomes possible a user in a less privileged
mount namespace to force the shutdown of a superblock of a filesystem
in a more privileged mount namespace, allowing a DOS attack on root.

commit 3e1866410f11356a9fd869beb3e95983dc79c067 upstream.

Now that remount is properly enforcing the rule that you can't remove
nodev at least sandstorm.io is breaking when performing a remount.

It turns out that there is an easy intuitive solution implicitly
add nodev on remount when nodev was implicitly added on mount.

commit c297abfdf15b4480704d6b566ca5ca9438b12456 upstream.

While reviewing the code of umount_tree I realized that when we append
to a preexisting unmounted list we do not change pprev of the former
first item in the list.

Which means later in namespace_unlock hlist_del_init(&amp;mnt-&gt;mnt_hash) on
the former first item of the list will stomp unmounted.first leaving
it set to some random mount point which we are likely to free soon.

This isn't likely to hit, but if it does I don't know how anyone could
track it down.

[ This happened because we don't have all the same operations for
  hlist's as we do for normal doubly-linked lists. In particular,
  list_splice() is easy on our standard doubly-linked lists, while
  hlist_splice() doesn't exist and needs both start/end entries of the
  hlist.  And commit 38129a13e6e7 incorrectly open-coded that missing
  hlist_splice().

  We should think about making these kinds of "mindless" conversions
  easier to get right by adding the missing hlist helpers   - Linus ]

commit 0d0826019e529f21c84687521d03f60cd241ca7d upstream.

Andy Lutomirski recently demonstrated that when chroot is used to set
the root path below the path for the new ``root'' passed to pivot_root
the pivot_root system call succeeds and leaks mounts.

In examining the code I see that starting with a new root that is
below the current root in the mount tree will result in a loop in the
mount tree after the mounts are detached and then reattached to one
another.  Resulting in all kinds of ugliness including a leak of that
mounts involved in the leak of the mount loop.

Prevent this problem by ensuring that the new mount is reachable from
the current root of the mount tree.

[Added stable cc.  Fixes CVE-2014-7970.  --Andy]

Accessing do_remount_sb should require global CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but
only one of the two call sites was appropriately protected.

We need the parents of victims alive until namespace_unlock() gets to
dput() of the (ex-)mountpoints.  However, that screws up the "is it
busy" checks in case when we have shrinkable mounts that need to be
killed.  Solution: go ahead and decrement refcounts of parents right
in umount_tree(), increment them again just before dropping rwsem in
namespace_unlock() (and let the loop in the end of namespace_unlock()
finally drop those references for good, as we do now).  Parents can't
get freed until we drop rwsem - at least one reference is kept until
then, both in case when parent is among the victims and when it is
not.  So they'll still be around when we get to namespace_unlock().

Since 3.14 we had copy_tree() get the shadowing wrong - if we had one
vfsmount shadowing another (i.e. if A is a slave of B, C is mounted
on A/foo, then D got mounted on B/foo creating D' on A/foo shadowed
by C), copy_tree() of A would make a copy of D' shadow the the copy of
C, not the other way around.

It's easy to fix, fortunately - just make sure that mount follows
the one that shadows it in mnt_child as well as in mnt_hash, and when
copy_tree() decides to attach a new mount, check if the last child
it has added to the same parent should be shadowing the new one.
And if it should, just use the same logics commit_tree() has - put the
new mount into the hash and children lists right after the one that
should shadow it.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a bunch of small changes built against 3.16-rc6.  The most
  significant change for users is the first patch which makes setns
  drmatically faster by removing unneded rcu handling.

  The next chunk of changes are so that "mount -o remount,.." will not
  allow the user namespace root to drop flags on a mount set by the
  system wide root.  Aks this forces read-only mounts to stay read-only,
  no-dev mounts to stay no-dev, no-suid mounts to stay no-suid, no-exec
  mounts to stay no exec and it prevents unprivileged users from messing
  with a mounts atime settings.  I have included my test case as the
  last patch in this series so people performing backports can verify
  this change works correctly.

  The next change fixes a bug in NFS that was discovered while auditing
  nsproxy users for the first optimization.  Today you can oops the
  kernel by reading /proc/fs/nfsfs/{servers,volumes} if you are clever
  with pid namespaces.  I rebased and fixed the build of the
  !CONFIG_NFS_FS case yesterday when a build bot caught my typo.  Given
  that no one to my knowledge bases anything on my tree fixing the typo
  in place seems more responsible that requiring a typo-fix to be
  backported as well.

  The last change is a small semantic cleanup introducing
  /proc/thread-self and pointing /proc/mounts and /proc/net at it.  This
  prevents several kinds of problemantic corner cases.  It is a
  user-visible change so it has a minute chance of causing regressions
  so the change to /proc/mounts and /proc/net are individual one line
  commits that can be trivially reverted.  Unfortunately I lost and
  could not find the email of the original reporter so he is not
  credited.  From at least one perspective this change to /proc/net is a
  refgression fix to allow pthread /proc/net uses that were broken by
  the introduction of the network namespace"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  proc: Point /proc/mounts at /proc/thread-self/mounts instead of /proc/self/mounts
  proc: Point /proc/net at /proc/thread-self/net instead of /proc/self/net
  proc: Implement /proc/thread-self to point at the directory of the current thread
  proc: Have net show up under /proc/&lt;tgid&gt;/task/&lt;tid&gt;
  NFS: Fix /proc/fs/nfsfs/servers and /proc/fs/nfsfs/volumes
  mnt: Add tests for unprivileged remount cases that have found to be faulty
  mnt: Change the default remount atime from relatime to the existing value
  mnt: Correct permission checks in do_remount
  mnt: Move the test for MNT_LOCK_READONLY from change_mount_flags into do_remount
  mnt: Only change user settable mount flags in remount
  namespaces: Use task_lock and not rcu to protect nsproxy
