commit 6a2d90ba027adba528509ffa27097cffd3879257 upstream.

The current implementation of PTRACE_KILL is buggy and has been for
many years as it assumes it's target has stopped in ptrace_stop.  At a
quick skim it looks like this assumption has existed since ptrace
support was added in linux v1.0.

While PTRACE_KILL has been deprecated we can not remove it as
a quick search with google code search reveals many existing
programs calling it.

When the ptracee is not stopped at ptrace_stop some fields would be
set that are ignored except in ptrace_stop.  Making the userspace
visible behavior of PTRACE_KILL a noop in those case.

As the usual rules are not obeyed it is not clear what the
consequences are of calling PTRACE_KILL on a running process.
Presumably userspace does not do this as it achieves nothing.

Replace the implementation of PTRACE_KILL with a simple
send_sig_info(SIGKILL) followed by a return 0.  This changes the
observable user space behavior only in that PTRACE_KILL on a process
not stopped in ptrace_stop will also kill it.  As that has always
been the intent of the code this seems like a reasonable change.

<title>ptrace: Check PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SECCOMP permission on PTRACE_SEIZE</title>

commit ee1fee900537b5d9560e9f937402de5ddc8412f3 upstream.

Setting PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SECCOMP is supposed to be a highly privileged
operation because it allows the tracee to completely bypass all seccomp
filters on kernels with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y. It is only supposed to
be settable by a process with global CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and only if that
process is not subject to any seccomp filters at all.

However, while these permission checks were done on the PTRACE_SETOPTIONS
path, they were missing on the PTRACE_SEIZE path, which also sets
user-specified ptrace flags.

Move the permissions checks out into a helper function and let both
ptrace_attach() and ptrace_setoptions() call it.

<title>ptrace: make ptrace() fail if the tracee changed its pid unexpectedly</title>

[ Upstream commit dbb5afad100a828c97e012c6106566d99f041db6 ]

Suppose we have 2 threads, the group-leader L and a sub-theread T,
both parked in ptrace_stop(). Debugger tries to resume both threads
and does

	ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, T);
	ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, L);

If the sub-thread T execs in between, the 2nd PTRACE_CONT doesn not
resume the old leader L, it resumes the post-exec thread T which was
actually now stopped in PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC. In this case the
PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC event is lost, and the tracer can't know that the
tracee changed its pid.

This patch makes ptrace() fail in this case until debugger does wait()
and consumes PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC which reports old_pid. This affects all
ptrace requests except the "asynchronous" PTRACE_INTERRUPT/KILL.

The patch doesn't add the new PTRACE_ option to not complicate the API,
and I _hope_ this won't cause any noticeable regression:

	- If debugger uses PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC and the thread did an exec
	  and the tracer does a ptrace request without having consumed
	  the exec event, it's 100% sure that the thread the ptracer
	  thinks it is targeting does not exist anymore, or isn't the
	  same as the one it thinks it is targeting.

	- To some degree this patch adds nothing new. In the scenario
	  above ptrace(L) can fail with -ESRCH if it is called after the
	  execing sub-thread wakes the leader up and before it "steals"
	  the leader's pid.

Test-case:

	#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
	#include &lt;signal.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/ptrace.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/wait.h&gt;
	#include &lt;errno.h&gt;
	#include &lt;pthread.h&gt;
	#include &lt;assert.h&gt;

	void *tf(void *arg)
	{
		execve("/usr/bin/true", NULL, NULL);
		assert(0);

		return NULL;
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		int leader = fork();
		if (!leader) {
			kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);

			pthread_t th;
			pthread_create(&amp;th, NULL, tf, NULL);
			for (;;)
				pause();

			return 0;
		}

		waitpid(leader, NULL, WSTOPPED);

		ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, leader, 0,
				PTRACE_O_TRACECLONE | PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC);
		waitpid(leader, NULL, 0);

		ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, leader, 0,0);
		waitpid(leader, NULL, 0);

		int status, thread = waitpid(-1, &amp;status, 0);
		assert(thread &gt; 0 &amp;&amp; thread != leader);
		assert(status == 0x80137f);

		ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, thread, 0,0);
		/*
		 * waitid() because waitpid(leader, &amp;status, WNOWAIT) does not
		 * report status. Why ????
		 *
		 * Why WEXITED? because we have another kernel problem connected
		 * to mt-exec.

		assert(errno == ESRCH);

<title>ptrace: Fix -&gt;ptracer_cred handling for PTRACE_TRACEME</title>

commit 6994eefb0053799d2e07cd140df6c2ea106c41ee 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.

[ Upstream commit f6e2aa91a46d2bc79fce9b93a988dbe7655c90c0 ]

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 &gt;= 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

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.

[ Upstream commit f6e2aa91a46d2bc79fce9b93a988dbe7655c90c0 ]

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 &gt;= 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 &lt;= 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.

<title>x86/speculation: Apply IBPB more strictly to avoid cross-process data leak</title>

commit dbfe2953f63c640463c630746cd5d9de8b2f63ae upstream.

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).

[ tglx: Split up PTRACE_MODE_NOACCESS_CHK into PTRACE_MODE_SCHED and
  PTRACE_MODE_IBPB to be able to do ptrace() context tracking reasonably
  fine-grained ]

<title>ptrace: Properly initialize ptracer_cred on fork</title>

commit c70d9d809fdeecedb96972457ee45c49a232d97f upstream.

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.

commit 5402e97af667e35e54177af8f6575518bf251d51 upstream.

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-&gt;state = TASK_TRACED" in ptrace_unfreeze_traced()
  assumes that nobody else can wake it up, but PTRACE_LISTEN breaks the
  contract. Obviusly it is very wrong to manipulate task-&gt;state if this
  task is already running, or WAKING, or it sleeps again"

<title>ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm</title>

commit 84d77d3f06e7e8dea057d10e8ec77ad71f721be3 upstream.

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.
