Revert "ipc,sem: remove uneeded sem_undo_list lock usage in exit_sem()"

2020-02-28T14:42:49Z

commit edf28f4061afe4c2d9eb1c3323d90e882c1d6800 upstream. This reverts commit a97955844807e327df11aa33869009d14d6b7de0. Commit a97955844807 ("ipc,sem: remove uneeded sem_undo_list lock usage in exit_sem()") removes a lock that is needed. This leads to a process looping infinitely in exit_sem() and can also lead to a crash. There is a reproducer available in [1] and with the commit reverted the issue does not reproduce anymore. Using the reproducer found in [1] is fairly easy to reach a point where one of the child processes is looping infinitely in exit_sem between for(;;) and if (semid == -1) block, while it's trying to free its last sem_undo structure which has already been freed by freeary(). Each sem_undo struct is on two lists: one per semaphore set (list_id) and one per process (list_proc). The list_id list tracks undos by semaphore set, and the list_proc by process. Undo structures are removed either by freeary() or by exit_sem(). The freeary function is invoked when the user invokes a syscall to remove a semaphore set. During this operation freeary() traverses the list_id associated with the semaphore set and removes the undo structures from both the list_id and list_proc lists. For this case, exit_sem() is called at process exit. Each process contains a struct sem_undo_list (referred to as "ulp") which contains the head for the list_proc list. When the process exits, exit_sem() traverses this list to remove each sem_undo struct. As in freeary(), whenever a sem_undo struct is removed from list_proc, it is also removed from the list_id list. Removing elements from list_id is safe for both exit_sem() and freeary() due to sem_lock(). Removing elements from list_proc is not safe; freeary() locks &un->ulp->lock when it performs list_del_rcu(&un->list_proc) but exit_sem() does not (locking was removed by commit a97955844807 ("ipc,sem: remove uneeded sem_undo_list lock usage in exit_sem()"). This can result in the following situation while executing the reproducer [1] : Consider a child process in exit_sem() and the parent in freeary() (because of semctl(sid[i], NSEM, IPC_RMID)). - The list_proc for the child contains the last two undo structs A and B (the rest have been removed either by exit_sem() or freeary()). - The semid for A is 1 and semid for B is 2. - exit_sem() removes A and at the same time freeary() removes B. - Since A and B have different semid sem_lock() will acquire different locks for each process and both can proceed. The bug is that they remove A and B from the same list_proc at the same time because only freeary() acquires the ulp lock. When exit_sem() removes A it makes ulp->list_proc.next to point at B and at the same time freeary() removes B setting B->semid=-1. At the next iteration of for(;;) loop exit_sem() will try to remove B. The only way to break from for(;;) is for (&un->list_proc == &ulp->list_proc) to be true which is not. Then exit_sem() will check if B->semid=-1 which is and will continue looping in for(;;) until the memory for B is reallocated and the value at B->semid is changed. At that point, exit_sem() will crash attempting to unlink B from the lists (this can be easily triggered by running the reproducer [1] a second time). To prove this scenario instrumentation was added to keep information about each sem_undo (un) struct that is removed per process and per semaphore set (sma). CPU0 CPU1 [caller holds sem_lock(sma for A)] ... freeary() exit_sem() ... ... ... sem_lock(sma for B) spin_lock(A->ulp->lock) ... list_del_rcu(un_A->list_proc) list_del_rcu(un_B->list_proc) Undo structures A and B have different semid and sem_lock() operations proceed. However they belong to the same list_proc list and they are removed at the same time. This results into ulp->list_proc.next pointing to the address of B which is already removed. After reverting commit a97955844807 ("ipc,sem: remove uneeded sem_undo_list lock usage in exit_sem()") the issue was no longer reproducible.

During the cleanup, it calls mqueue_evict_inode() which performed resource usage tracking math for updating "user", before checking if there was a valid "user" at all (which would indicate that the calculations would be sane). Instead, delay this check to after seeing a valid "user". The overflow was real, but the results went unused, so while the flaw is harmless, it's noisy for kernel fuzzers, so just fix it by moving the calculation under the non-NULL "user" where it actually gets used.

ipc/shm: fix shmat() nil address after round-down when remapping

2018-05-30T05:50:17Z

commit 8f89c007b6dec16a1793cb88de88fcc02117bbbc upstream. 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.

Revert "ipc/shm: Fix shmat mmap nil-page protection"

2018-05-30T05:50:17Z

commit a73ab244f0dad8fffb3291b905f73e2d3eaa7c00 upstream. 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].

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

2018-04-24T07:34:09Z

commit 3f05317d9889ab75c7190dcd39491d2a97921984 upstream. syzbot reported a use-after-free of shm_file_data(file)->file->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 ->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 ->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 ->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->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 #include #include #include 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...)

A split function was added to vm_operations_struct to determine if a mapping can be split. This was mostly for device-dax and hugetlbfs mappings which have specific alignment constraints. Mappings initiated via shmget/shmat have their original vm_ops overwritten with shm_vm_ops. shm_vm_ops functions will call back to the original vm_ops if needed. Add such a split function to shm_vm_ops.

ipc: msg, make msgrcv work with LONG_MIN

2018-01-31T11:55:51Z

commit 999898355e08ae3b92dfd0a08db706e0c6703d30 upstream. When LONG_MIN is passed to msgrcv, one would expect to recieve any message. But convert_mode does *msgtyp = -*msgtyp and -LONG_MIN is undefined. In particular, with my gcc -LONG_MIN produces -LONG_MIN again. So handle this case properly by assigning LONG_MAX to *msgtyp if LONG_MIN was specified as msgtyp to msgrcv. This code: long msg[] = { 100, 200 }; int m = msgget(IPC_PRIVATE, IPC_CREAT | 0644); msgsnd(m, &msg, sizeof(msg), 0); msgrcv(m, &msg, sizeof(msg), LONG_MIN, 0); produces currently nothing: msgget(IPC_PRIVATE, IPC_CREAT|0644) = 65538 msgsnd(65538, {100, "\310\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 16, 0) = 0 msgrcv(65538, ... Except a UBSAN warning: UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ipc/msg.c:745:13 negation of -9223372036854775808 cannot be represented in type 'long int': With the patch, I see what I expect: msgget(IPC_PRIVATE, IPC_CREAT|0644) = 0 msgsnd(0, {100, "\310\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 16, 0) = 0 msgrcv(0, {100, "\310\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 16, -9223372036854775808, 0) = 16 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161024082633.10148-1-jslaby@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Cc: Davidlohr Bueso Cc: Manfred Spraul Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
