sysctl: Drop reference added by grab_header in proc_sys_readdir

2017-01-19T19:18:04Z

commit 93362fa47fe98b62e4a34ab408c4a418432e7939 upstream. Fixes CVE-2016-9191, proc_sys_readdir doesn't drop reference added by grab_header when return from !dir_emit_dots path. It can cause any path called unregister_sysctl_table will wait forever. The calltrace of CVE-2016-9191: [ 5535.960522] Call Trace: [ 5535.963265] [] schedule+0x3f/0xa0 [ 5535.968817] [] schedule_timeout+0x3db/0x6f0 [ 5535.975346] [] ? wait_for_completion+0x45/0x130 [ 5535.982256] [] wait_for_completion+0xc3/0x130 [ 5535.988972] [] ? wake_up_q+0x80/0x80 [ 5535.994804] [] drop_sysctl_table+0xc4/0xe0 [ 5536.001227] [] drop_sysctl_table+0x77/0xe0 [ 5536.007648] [] unregister_sysctl_table+0x4d/0xa0 [ 5536.014654] [] unregister_sysctl_table+0x7f/0xa0 [ 5536.021657] [] unregister_sched_domain_sysctl+0x15/0x40 [ 5536.029344] [] partition_sched_domains+0x44/0x450 [ 5536.036447] [] ? __mutex_unlock_slowpath+0x111/0x1f0 [ 5536.043844] [] rebuild_sched_domains_locked+0x64/0xb0 [ 5536.051336] [] update_flag+0x11d/0x210 [ 5536.057373] [] ? mutex_lock_nested+0x2df/0x450 [ 5536.064186] [] ? cpuset_css_offline+0x1b/0x60 [ 5536.070899] [] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0x10 [ 5536.077420] [] ? mutex_lock_nested+0x2df/0x450 [ 5536.084234] [] ? css_killed_work_fn+0x25/0x220 [ 5536.091049] [] cpuset_css_offline+0x35/0x60 [ 5536.097571] [] css_killed_work_fn+0x5c/0x220 [ 5536.104207] [] process_one_work+0x1df/0x710 [ 5536.110736] [] ? process_one_work+0x160/0x710 [ 5536.117461] [] worker_thread+0x12b/0x4a0 [ 5536.123697] [] ? process_one_work+0x710/0x710 [ 5536.130426] [] kthread+0xfe/0x120 [ 5536.135991] [] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x40 [ 5536.142041] [] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x230/0x230 One cgroup maintainer mentioned that "cgroup is trying to offline a cpuset css, which takes place under cgroup_mutex. The offlining ends up trying to drain active usages of a sysctl table which apprently is not happening." The real reason is that proc_sys_readdir doesn't drop reference added by grab_header when return from !dir_emit_dots path. So this cpuset offline path will wait here forever.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "This set of changes is a number of smaller things that have been overlooked in other development cycles focused on more fundamental change. The devpts changes are small things that were a distraction until we managed to kill off DEVPTS_MULTPLE_INSTANCES. There is an trivial regression fix to autofs for the unprivileged mount changes that went in last cycle. A pair of ioctls has been added by Andrey Vagin making it is possible to discover the relationships between namespaces when referring to them through file descriptors. The big user visible change is starting to add simple resource limits to catch programs that misbehave. With namespaces in general and user namespaces in particular allowing users to use more kinds of resources, it has become important to have something to limit errant programs. Because the purpose of these limits is to catch errant programs the code needs to be inexpensive to use as it always on, and the default limits need to be high enough that well behaved programs on well behaved systems don't encounter them. To this end, after some review I have implemented per user per user namespace limits, and use them to limit the number of namespaces. The limits being per user mean that one user can not exhause the limits of another user. The limits being per user namespace allow contexts where the limit is 0 and security conscious folks can remove from their threat anlysis the code used to manage namespaces (as they have historically done as it root only). At the same time the limits being per user namespace allow other parts of the system to use namespaces. Namespaces are increasingly being used in application sand boxing scenarios so an all or nothing disable for the entire system for the security conscious folks makes increasing use of these sandboxes impossible. There is also added a limit on the maximum number of mounts present in a single mount namespace. It is nontrivial to guess what a reasonable system wide limit on the number of mount structure in the kernel would be, especially as it various based on how a system is using containers. A limit on the number of mounts in a mount namespace however is much easier to understand and set. In most cases in practice only about 1000 mounts are used. Given that some autofs scenarious have the potential to be 30,000 to 50,000 mounts I have set the default limit for the number of mounts at 100,000 which is well above every known set of users but low enough that the mount hash tables don't degrade unreaonsably. These limits are a start. I expect this estabilishes a pattern that other limits for resources that namespaces use will follow. There has been interest in making inotify event limits per user per user namespace as well as interest expressed in making details about what is going on in the kernel more visible" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (28 commits) autofs: Fix automounts by using current_real_cred()->uid mnt: Add a per mount namespace limit on the number of mounts netns: move {inc,dec}_net_namespaces into #ifdef nsfs: Simplify __ns_get_path tools/testing: add a test to check nsfs ioctl-s nsfs: add ioctl to get a parent namespace nsfs: add ioctl to get an owning user namespace for ns file descriptor kernel: add a helper to get an owning user namespace for a namespace devpts: Change the owner of /dev/pts/ptmx to the mounter of /dev/pts devpts: Remove sync_filesystems devpts: Make devpts_kill_sb safe if fsi is NULL devpts: Simplify devpts_mount by using mount_nodev devpts: Move the creation of /dev/pts/ptmx into fill_super devpts: Move parse_mount_options into fill_super userns: When the per user per user namespace limit is reached return ENOSPC userns; Document per user per user namespace limits. mntns: Add a limit on the number of mount namespaces. netns: Add a limit on the number of net namespaces cgroupns: Add a limit on the number of cgroup namespaces ipcns: Add a limit on the number of ipc namespaces ...

fs: Replace CURRENT_TIME with current_time() for inode timestamps

2016-09-28T01:06:21Z

CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps. Use current_time() instead. CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe. This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also, current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be y2038 safe. Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they share the same time granularity.

fs: Give dentry to inode_change_ok() instead of inode

2016-09-22T08:56:19Z

inode_change_ok() will be resposible for clearing capabilities and IMA extended attributes and as such will need dentry. Give it as an argument to inode_change_ok() instead of an inode. Also rename inode_change_ok() to setattr_prepare() to better relect that it does also some modifications in addition to checks. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

net: make net namespace sysctls belong to container's owner

2016-08-15T04:08:58Z

If net namespace is attached to a user namespace let's make container's root owner of sysctls affecting said network namespace instead of global root. This also allows us to clean up net_ctl_permissions() because we do not need to fudge permissions anymore for the container's owner since it now owns the objects in question. Acked-by: "Eric W.

sysctl: Stop implicitly passing current into sysctl_table_root.lookup

2016-08-08T14:17:16Z

Passing nsproxy into sysctl_table_root.lookup was a premature optimization in attempt to avoid depending on current. The directory /proc/self/sys has not appeared and if and when it does this code will need to be reviewed closely and reworked anyway. So remove the premature optimization.
