binfmt_misc: enable sandboxed mounts

2023-10-11T15:46:01Z

Enable unprivileged sandboxes to create their own binfmt_misc mounts. This is based on Laurent's work in [1] but has been significantly reworked to fix various issues we identified in earlier versions. While binfmt_misc can currently only be mounted in the initial user namespace, binary types registered in this binfmt_misc instance are available to all sandboxes (Either by having them installed in the sandbox or by registering the binary type with the F flag causing the interpreter to be opened right away). So binfmt_misc binary types are already delegated to sandboxes implicitly. However, while a sandbox has access to all registered binary types in binfmt_misc a sandbox cannot currently register its own binary types in binfmt_misc. This has prevented various use-cases some of which were already outlined in [1] but we have a range of issues associated with this (cf. [3]-[5] below which are just a small sample). Extend binfmt_misc to be mountable in non-initial user namespaces. Similar to other filesystem such as nfsd, mqueue, and sunrpc we use keyed superblock management. The key determines whether we need to create a new superblock or can reuse an already existing one. We use the user namespace of the mount as key. This means a new binfmt_misc superblock is created once per user namespace creation. Subsequent mounts of binfmt_misc in the same user namespace will mount the same binfmt_misc instance. We explicitly do not create a new binfmt_misc superblock on every binfmt_misc mount as the semantics for load_misc_binary() line up with the keying model. This also allows us to retrieve the relevant binfmt_misc instance based on the caller's user namespace which can be done in a simple (bounded to 32 levels) loop. Similar to the current binfmt_misc semantics allowing access to the binary types in the initial binfmt_misc instance we do allow sandboxes access to their parent's binfmt_misc mounts if they do not have created a separate binfmt_misc instance. Overall, this will unblock the use-cases mentioned below and in general will also allow to support and harden execution of another architecture's binaries in tight sandboxes. For instance, using the unshare binary it possible to start a chroot of another architecture and configure the binfmt_misc interpreter without being root to run the binaries in this chroot and without requiring the host to modify its binary type handlers. Henning had already posted a few experiments in the cover letter at [1]. But here's an additional example where an unprivileged container registers qemu-user-static binary handlers for various binary types in its separate binfmt_misc mount and is then seamlessly able to start containers with a different architecture without affecting the host: root [lxc monitor] /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/containers f1 1000000 \_ /sbin/init 1000000 \_ /lib/systemd/systemd-journald 1000000 \_ /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd 1000100 \_ /lib/systemd/systemd-networkd 1000101 \_ /lib/systemd/systemd-resolved 1000000 \_ /usr/sbin/cron -f 1000103 \_ /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation --syslog-only 1000000 \_ /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/networkd-dispatcher --run-startup-triggers 1000104 \_ /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n -iNONE 1000000 \_ /lib/systemd/systemd-logind 1000000 \_ /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear --keep-baud console 115200,38400,9600 vt220 1000107 \_ dnsmasq --conf-file=/dev/null -u lxc-dnsmasq --strict-order --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/run/lxc/dnsmasq.pid --liste 1000000 \_ [lxc monitor] /var/lib/lxc f1-s390x 1100000 \_ /usr/bin/qemu-s390x-static /sbin/init 1100000 \_ /usr/bin/qemu-s390x-static /lib/systemd/systemd-journald 1100000 \_ /usr/bin/qemu-s390x-static /usr/sbin/cron -f 1100103 \_ /usr/bin/qemu-s390x-static /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-ac 1100000 \_ /usr/bin/qemu-s390x-static /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/networkd-dispatcher --run-startup-triggers 1100104 \_ /usr/bin/qemu-s390x-static /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n -iNONE 1100000 \_ /usr/bin/qemu-s390x-static /lib/systemd/systemd-logind 1100000 \_ /usr/bin/qemu-s390x-static /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear --keep-baud console 115200,38400,9600 vt220 1100000 \_ /usr/bin/qemu-s390x-static /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear --keep-baud pts/0 115200,38400,9600 vt220 1100000 \_ /usr/bin/qemu-s390x-static /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear --keep-baud pts/1 115200,38400,9600 vt220 1100000 \_ /usr/bin/qemu-s390x-static /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear --keep-baud pts/2 115200,38400,9600 vt220 1100000 \_ /usr/bin/qemu-s390x-static /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear --keep-baud pts/3 115200,38400,9600 vt220 1100000 \_ /usr/bin/qemu-s390x-static /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20191216091220.465626-1-laurent@vivier.eu [2]: https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/binfmt-misc-permission-denied [3]: https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/lxd-binfmt-support-for-qemu-static-interpreters [4]: https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/3-1-0-binfmt-support-service-in-unprivileged-guest-requires-write-access-on-hosts-proc-sys-fs-binfmt-misc [5]: https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/qemu-user-static-not-working-4-11 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191216091220.465626-2-laurent@vivier.eu (origin) Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211028103114.2849140-2-brauner@kernel.org (v1) Cc: Sargun Dhillon Cc: Serge Hallyn Cc: Jann Horn Cc: Henning Schild Cc: Andrei Vagin Cc: Al Viro Cc: Laurent Vivier Cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner Signed-off-by: Kees Cook --- /* v2 */ - Serge Hallyn : - Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for userspace triggered allocations when a new binary type handler is registered. - Christian Brauner : - Switch authorship to me. I refused to do that earlier even though Laurent said I should do so because I think it's genuinely bad form. But by now I have changed so many things that it'd be unfair to blame Laurent for any potential bugs in here. - Add more comments that explain what's going on. - Rename functions while changing them to better reflect what they are doing to make the code easier to understand. - In the first version when a specific binary type handler was removed either through a write to the entry's file or all binary type handlers were removed by a write to the binfmt_misc mount's status file all cleanup work happened during inode eviction. That includes removal of the relevant entries from entry list. While that works fine I disliked that model after thinking about it for a bit. Because it means that there was a window were someone has already removed a or all binary handlers but they could still be safely reached from load_misc_binary() when it has managed to take the read_lock() on the entries list while inode eviction was already happening. Again, that perfectly benign but it's cleaner to remove the binary handler from the list immediately meaning that ones the write to then entry's file or the binfmt_misc status file returns the binary type cannot be executed anymore. That gives stronger guarantees to the user.

ucounts: Split rlimit and ucount values and max values

2022-05-18T23:24:57Z

Since the semantics of maximum rlimit values are different, it would be better not to mix ucount and rlimit values. This will prevent the error of using inc_count/dec_ucount for rlimit parameters. This patch also renames the functions to emphasize the lack of connection between rlimit and ucount. v3: - Fix BUG:KASAN:use-after-free_in_dec_ucount. v2: - Fix the array-index-out-of-bounds that was found by the lkp project.

ucounts: Fix signal ucount refcounting

2021-10-18T21:02:30Z

In commit fda31c50292a ("signal: avoid double atomic counter increments for user accounting") Linus made a clever optimization to how rlimits and the struct user_struct. Unfortunately that optimization does not work in the obvious way when moved to nested rlimits. The problem is that the last decrement of the per user namespace per user sigpending counter might also be the last decrement of the sigpending counter in the parent user namespace as well. Which means that simply freeing the leaf ucount in __free_sigqueue is not enough. Maintain the optimization and handle the tricky cases by introducing inc_rlimit_get_ucounts and dec_rlimit_put_ucounts. By moving the entire optimization into functions that perform all of the work it becomes possible to ensure that every level is handled properly. The new function inc_rlimit_get_ucounts returns 0 on failure to increment the ucount. This is different than inc_rlimit_ucounts which increments the ucounts and returns LONG_MAX if the ucount counter has exceeded it's maximum or it wrapped (to indicate the counter needs to decremented). I wish we had a single user to account all pending signals to across all of the threads of a process so this complexity was not necessary Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: d64696905554 ("Reimplement RLIMIT_SIGPENDING on top of ucounts") v1: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87mtnavszx.fsf_-_@disp2133 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87fssytizw.fsf_-_@disp2133 Reviewed-by: Alexey Gladkov Tested-by: Rune Kleveland Tested-by: Yu Zhao Tested-by: Jordan Glover Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

ucounts: Set ucount_max to the largest positive value the type can hold

2021-04-30T19:14:03Z

The ns->ucount_max[] is signed long which is less than the rlimit size. We have to protect ucount_max[] from overflow and only use the largest value that we can hold. On 32bit using "long" instead of "unsigned long" to hold the counts has the downside that RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE and RLIMIT_MEMLOCK are limited to 2GiB instead of 4GiB. I don't think anyone cares but it should be mentioned in case someone does. The RLIMIT_NPROC and RLIMIT_SIGPENDING used atomic_t so their maximum hasn't changed.

Reimplement RLIMIT_NPROC on top of ucounts

2021-04-30T19:14:01Z

The rlimit counter is tied to uid in the user_namespace. This allows rlimit values to be specified in userns even if they are already globally exceeded by the user. However, the value of the previous user_namespaces cannot be exceeded. To illustrate the impact of rlimits, let's say there is a program that does not fork. Some service-A wants to run this program as user X in multiple containers. Since the program never fork the service wants to set RLIMIT_NPROC=1. service-A \- program (uid=1000, container1, rlimit_nproc=1) \- program (uid=1000, container2, rlimit_nproc=1) The service-A sets RLIMIT_NPROC=1 and runs the program in container1. When the service-A tries to run a program with RLIMIT_NPROC=1 in container2 it fails since user X already has one running process. We cannot use existing inc_ucounts / dec_ucounts because they do not allow us to exceed the maximum for the counter. Some rlimits can be overlimited by root or if the user has the appropriate capability.

Use atomic_t for ucounts reference counting

2021-04-30T19:14:01Z

The current implementation of the ucounts reference counter requires the use of spin_lock. We're going to use get_ucounts() in more performance critical areas like a handling of RLIMIT_SIGPENDING. Now we need to use spin_lock only if we want to change the hashtable. v10: * Always try to put ucounts in case we cannot increase ucounts->count. This will allow to cover the case when all consumers will return ucounts at once. v9: * Use a negative value to check that the ucounts->count is close to overflow.
