shmat()'s SHM_REMAP option forbids passing a nil address for; this is in
fact the very first thing we check for.  Andrea reported that for
SHM_RND|SHM_REMAP cases we can end up bypassing the initial addr check,
but we need to check again if the address was rounded down to nil.  As
of this patch, such cases will return -EINVAL.

Patch series "ipc/shm: shmat() fixes around nil-page".

These patches fix two issues reported[1] a while back by Joe and Andrea
around how shmat(2) behaves with nil-page.

The first reverts a commit that it was incorrectly thought that mapping
nil-page (address=0) was a no no with MAP_FIXED.  This is not the case,
with the exception of SHM_REMAP; which is address in the second patch.

I chose two patches because it is easier to backport and it explicitly
reverts bogus behaviour.  Both patches ought to be in -stable and ltp
testcases need updated (the added testcase around the cve can be
modified to just test for SHM_RND|SHM_REMAP).

[1] lkml.kernel.org/r/20180430172152.nfa564pvgpk3ut7p@linux-n805

This patch (of 2):

Commit 95e91b831f87 ("ipc/shm: Fix shmat mmap nil-page protection")
worked on the idea that we should not be mapping as root addr=0 and
MAP_FIXED.  However, it was reported that this scenario is in fact
valid, thus making the patch both bogus and breaks userspace as well.

For example X11's libint10.so relies on shmat(1, SHM_RND) for lowmem
initialization[1].

<title>ipc/shm: fix use-after-free of shm file via remap_file_pages()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3f05317d9889ab75c7190dcd39491d2a97921984</id>
<content type='text'>
syzbot reported a use-after-free of shm_file_data(file)-&gt;file-&gt;f_op in
shm_get_unmapped_area(), called via sys_remap_file_pages().

Unfortunately it couldn't generate a reproducer, but I found a bug which
I think caused it.  When remap_file_pages() is passed a full System V
shared memory segment, the memory is first unmapped, then a new map is
created using the -&gt;vm_file.  Between these steps, the shm ID can be
removed and reused for a new shm segment.  But, shm_mmap() only checks
whether the ID is currently valid before calling the underlying file's
-&gt;mmap(); it doesn't check whether it was reused.  Thus it can use the
wrong underlying file, one that was already freed.

Fix this by making the "outer" shm file (the one that gets put in
-&gt;vm_file) hold a reference to the real shm file, and by making
__shm_open() require that the file associated with the shm ID matches
the one associated with the "outer" file.

Taking the reference to the real shm file is needed to fully solve the
problem, since otherwise sfd-&gt;file could point to a freed file, which
then could be reallocated for the reused shm ID, causing the wrong shm
segment to be mapped (and without the required permission checks).

Commit 1ac0b6dec656 ("ipc/shm: handle removed segments gracefully in
shm_mmap()") almost fixed this bug, but it didn't go far enough because
it didn't consider the case where the shm ID is reused.

The following program usually reproduces this bug:

	#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/shm.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/syscall.h&gt;
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

	int main()
	{
		int is_parent = (fork() != 0);
		srand(getpid());
		for (;;) {
			int id = shmget(0xF00F, 4096, IPC_CREAT|0700);
			if (is_parent) {
				void *addr = shmat(id, NULL, 0);
				usleep(rand() % 50);
				while (!syscall(__NR_remap_file_pages, addr, 4096, 0, 0, 0));
			} else {
				usleep(rand() % 50);
				shmctl(id, IPC_RMID, NULL);
			}
		}
	}

It causes the following NULL pointer dereference due to a 'struct file'
being used while it's being freed.  (I couldn't actually get a KASAN
use-after-free splat like in the syzbot report.  But I think it's
possible with this bug; it would just take a more extraordinary race...)

<content type='text'>
There is a permission discrepancy when consulting msq ipc object
metadata between /proc/sysvipc/msg (0444) and the MSG_STAT shmctl
command.  The later does permission checks for the object vs S_IRUGO.
As such there can be cases where EACCESS is returned via syscall but the
info is displayed anyways in the procfs files.

While this might have security implications via info leaking (albeit no
writing to the msq metadata), this behavior goes way back and showing
all the objects regardless of the permissions was most likely an
overlook - so we are stuck with it.  Furthermore, modifying either the
syscall or the procfs file can cause userspace programs to break (ie
ipcs).  Some applications require getting the procfs info (without root
privileges) and can be rather slow in comparison with a syscall -- up to
500x in some reported cases for shm.

This patch introduces a new MSG_STAT_ANY command such that the msq ipc
object permissions are ignored, and only audited instead.  In addition,
I've left the lsm security hook checks in place, as if some policy can
block the call, then the user has no other choice than just parsing the
procfs file.

<content type='text'>
Patch series "sysvipc: introduce STAT_ANY commands", v2.

The following patches adds the discussed (see [1]) new command for shm
as well as for sems and msq as they are subject to the same
discrepancies for ipc object permission checks between the syscall and
via procfs.  These new commands are justified in that (1) we are stuck
with this semantics as changing syscall and procfs can break userland;
and (2) some users can benefit from performance (for large amounts of
shm segments, for example) from not having to parse the procfs
interface.

Once merged, I will submit the necesary manpage updates.  But I'm thinking
something like:

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "There was a lot of work this cycle fixing bugs that were discovered
  after the merge window and getting everything ready where we can
  reasonably support fully unprivileged fuse. The bug fixes you already
  have and much of the unprivileged fuse work is coming in via other
  trees.

  Still left for fully unprivileged fuse is figuring out how to cleanly
  handle .set_acl and .get_acl in the legacy case, and properly handling
  of evm xattrs on unprivileged mounts.

  Included in the tree is a cleanup from Alexely that replaced a linked
  list with a statically allocated fix sized array for the pid caches,
  which simplifies and speeds things up.

  Then there is are some cleanups and fixes for the ipc namespace. The
  motivation was that in reviewing other code it was discovered that
  access ipc objects from different pid namespaces recorded pids in such
  a way that when asked the wrong pids were returned. In the worst case
  there has been a measured 30% performance impact for sysvipc
  semaphores. Other test cases showed no measurable performance impact.
  Manfred Spraul and Davidlohr Bueso who tend to work on sysvipc
  performance both gave the nod that this is good enough.

  Casey Schaufler and James Morris have given their approval to the LSM
  side of the changes.

  I simplified the types and the code dealing with sysvipc to pass just
  kern_ipc_perm for all three types of ipc. Which reduced the header
  dependencies throughout the kernel and simplified the lsm code.

  Which let me work on the pid fixes without having to worry about
  trivial changes causing complete kernel recompiles"

Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
 "System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
  Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
  compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
  syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.

  At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
  v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
  better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
  there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
  which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
  means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
  specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
  filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
  time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
  x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
  future.

  Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
  data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
  generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
  code.

  This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
  kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
  three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
  kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"
