proc: prevent accessing /proc//environ until it's ready

2016-05-11T09:37:33+00:00

commit 8148a73c9901a8794a50f950083c00ccf97d43b3 upstream.

If /proc//environ gets read before the envp[] array is fully set up
in create_{aout,elf,elf_fdpic,flat}_tables(), we might end up trying to
read more bytes than are actually written, as env_start will already be
set but env_end will still be zero, making the range calculation
underflow, allowing to read beyond the end of what has been written.

Fix this as it is done for /proc//cmdline by testing env_end for
zero.  It is, apparently, intentionally set last in create_*_tables().

This bug was found by the PaX size_overflow plugin that detected the
arithmetic underflow of 'this_len = env_end - (env_start + src)' when
env_end is still zero.

The expected consequence is that userland trying to access
/proc//environ of a not yet fully set up process may get
inconsistent data as we're in the middle of copying in the environment
variables.

proc: Fix ptrace-based permission checks for accessing task maps

2016-03-02T09:29:36+00:00

Modify mm_access() calls in fs/proc/task_mmu.c and fs/proc/task_nommu.c to
have the mode include PTRACE_MODE_FSCREDS so accessing /proc/pid/maps and
/proc/pid/pagemap is not denied to all users.

In backporting upstream commit caaee623 to pre-3.18 kernel versions it was
overlooked that mm_access() is used in fs/proc/task_*mmu.c as those calls
were removed in 3.18 (by upstream commit 29a40ace) and did not exist at the
time of the original commit.

ptrace: use fsuid, fsgid, effective creds for fs access checks

2016-02-24T09:23:22+00:00

commit caaee6234d05a58c5b4d05e7bf766131b810a657 upstream.

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).

proc: actually make proc_fd_permission() thread-friendly

2016-02-15T16:07:47+00:00

commit 54708d2858e79a2bdda10bf8a20c80eb96c20613 upstream.

The commit 96d0df79f264 ("proc: make proc_fd_permission() thread-friendly")
fixed the access to /proc/self/fd from sub-threads, but introduced another
problem: a sub-thread can't access /proc//fd/ or /proc/thread-self/fd
if generic_permission() fails.

Change proc_fd_permission() to check same_thread_group(pid_task(), current).

/proc/stat: convert to single_open_size()

2015-05-15T07:10:56+00:00

commit f74373a5cc7a0155d232c4e999648c7a95435bb2 upstream.

These two patches are supposed to "fix" failed order-4 memory
allocations which have been observed when reading /proc/stat.  The
problem has been observed on s390 as well as on x86.

To address the problem change the seq_file memory allocations to
fallback to use vmalloc, so that allocations also work if memory is
fragmented.

This approach seems to be simpler and less intrusive than changing
/proc/stat to use an interator.  Also it "fixes" other users as well,
which use seq_file's single_open() interface.

This patch (of 2):

Use seq_file's single_open_size() to preallocate a buffer that is large
enough to hold the whole output, instead of open coding it.  Also
calculate the requested size using the number of online cpus instead of
possible cpus, since the size of the output only depends on the number
of online cpus.

proc/pagemap: walk page tables under pte lock

2015-04-27T18:38:16+00:00

commit 05fbf357d94152171bc50f8a369390f1f16efd89 upstream.

Lockless access to pte in pagemap_pte_range() might race with page
migration and trigger BUG_ON(!PageLocked()) in migration_entry_to_page():

CPU A (pagemap)                           CPU B (migration)
                                          lock_page()
                                          try_to_unmap(page, TTU_MIGRATION...)
                                               make_migration_entry()
                                               set_pte_at()

pte_to_pagemap_entry()
                                          remove_migration_ptes()
                                          unlock_page()
    if(is_migration_entry())
        migration_entry_to_page()
            BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page))

Also lockless read might be non-atomic if pte is larger than wordsize.
Other pte walkers (smaps, numa_maps, clear_refs) already lock ptes.

mm: softdirty: unmapped addresses between VMAs are clean

2015-04-27T18:25:29+00:00

commit 81d0fa623c5b8dbd5279d9713094b0f9b0a00fb4 upstream.

If a /proc/pid/pagemap read spans a [VMA, an unmapped region, then a
VM_SOFTDIRTY VMA], the virtual pages in the unmapped region are reported
as softdirty.  Here's a program to demonstrate the bug:

int main() {
	const uint64_t PAGEMAP_SOFTDIRTY = 1ul << 55;
	uint64_t pme[3];
	int fd = open("/proc/self/pagemap", O_RDONLY);;
	char *m = mmap(NULL, 3 * getpagesize(), PROT_READ,
	               MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0);
	munmap(m + getpagesize(), getpagesize());
	pread(fd, pme, 24, (unsigned long) m / getpagesize() * 8);
	assert(pme[0] & PAGEMAP_SOFTDIRTY);    /* passes */
	assert(!(pme[1] & PAGEMAP_SOFTDIRTY)); /* fails */
	assert(pme[2] & PAGEMAP_SOFTDIRTY);    /* passes */
	return 0;
}

(Note that all pages in new VMAs are softdirty until cleared).

Tested:
	Used the program given above. I'm going to include this code in
	a selftest in the future.

pagemap: do not leak physical addresses to non-privileged userspace

commit ab676b7d6fbf4b294bf198fb27ade5b0e865c7ce upstream.

As pointed by recent post[1] on exploiting DRAM physical imperfection,
/proc/PID/pagemap exposes sensitive information which can be used to do
attacks.

This disallows anybody without CAP_SYS_ADMIN to read the pagemap.

genirq: Prevent proc race against freeing of irq descriptors

2015-01-26T13:39:30+00:00

commit c291ee622165cb2c8d4e7af63fffd499354a23be upstream.

Since the rework of the sparse interrupt code to actually free the
unused interrupt descriptors there exists a race between the /proc
interfaces to the irq subsystem and the code which frees the interrupt
descriptor.

CPU0				CPU1
				show_interrupts()
				  desc = irq_to_desc(X);
free_desc(desc)
  remove_from_radix_tree();
  kfree(desc);
				  raw_spinlock_irq(&desc->lock);

/proc/interrupts is the only interface which can actively corrupt
kernel memory via the lock access. /proc/stat can only read from freed
memory. Extremly hard to trigger, but possible.

The interfaces in /proc/irq/N/ are not affected by this because the
removal of the proc file is serialized in procfs against concurrent
readers/writers. The removal happens before the descriptor is freed.

For architectures which have CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=n this is a non issue
as the descriptor is never freed. It's merely cleared out with the irq
descriptor lock held. So any concurrent proc access will either see
the old correct value or the cleared out ones.

Protect the lookup and access to the irq descriptor in
show_interrupts() with the sparse_irq_lock.

Provide kstat_irqs_usr() which is protecting the lookup and access
with sparse_irq_lock and switch /proc/stat to use it.

Document the existing kstat_irqs interfaces so it's clear that the
caller needs to take care about protection. The users of these
interfaces are either not affected due to SPARSE_IRQ=n or already
protected against removal.
