userns: Don't allow setgroups until a gid mapping has been setablished

2015-01-07T16:55:11Z

commit 273d2c67c3e179adb1e74f403d1e9a06e3f841b5 upstream. setgroups is unique in not needing a valid mapping before it can be called, in the case of setgroups(0, NULL) which drops all supplemental groups. The design of the user namespace assumes that CAP_SETGID can not actually be used until a gid mapping is established. Therefore add a helper function to see if the user namespace gid mapping has been established and call that function in the setgroups permission check. This is part of the fix for CVE-2014-8989, being able to drop groups without privilege using user namespaces. Reviewed-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

groups: Consolidate the setgroups permission checks

2015-01-07T16:55:10Z

commit 7ff4d90b4c24a03666f296c3d4878cd39001e81e upstream. Today there are 3 instances of setgroups and due to an oversight their permission checking has diverged. Add a common function so that they may all share the same permission checking code. This corrects the current oversight in the current permission checks and adds a helper to avoid this in the future. A user namespace security fix will update this new helper, shortly. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby

userns: Kill nsown_capable it makes the wrong thing easy

2013-08-31T06:44:11Z

nsown_capable is a special case of ns_capable essentially for just CAP_SETUID and CAP_SETGID. For the existing users it doesn't noticably simplify things and from the suggested patches I have seen it encourages people to do the wrong thing. So remove nsown_capable.

userns: Convert group_info values from gid_t to kgid_t.

2012-05-03T10:27:21Z

As a first step to converting struct cred to be all kuid_t and kgid_t values convert the group values stored in group_info to always be kgid_t values. Unless user namespaces are used this change should have no effect. Acked-by: Serge Hallyn Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

kernel: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.h

2011-10-31T13:20:12Z

The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else. Revector them onto the isolated export header for faster compile times. Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of: -#include +#include This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

userns: user namespaces: convert several capable() calls

2011-03-24T02:47:08Z

CAP_IPC_OWNER and CAP_IPC_LOCK can be checked against current_user_ns(), because the resource comes from current's own ipc namespace. setuid/setgid are to uids in own namespace, so again checks can be against current_user_ns(). Changelog: Jan 11: Use task_ns_capable() in place of sched_capable(). Jan 11: Use nsown_capable() as suggested by Bastian Blank. Jan 11: Clarify (hopefully) some logic in futex and sched.c Feb 15: use ns_capable for ipc, not nsown_capable Feb 23: let copy_ipcs handle setting ipc_ns->user_ns Feb 23: pass ns down rather than taking it from current [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Serge E.

kernel/groups.c: fix integer overflow in groups_search

2010-09-10T01:57:24Z

gid_t is a unsigned int. If group_info contains a gid greater than MAX_INT, groups_search() function may look on the wrong side of the search tree. This solves some unfair "permission denied" problems. Signed-off-by: Jerome Marchand Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

groups: move code to kernel/groups.c

2009-06-17T02:47:48Z

Move supplementary groups implementation to kernel/groups.c . kernel/sys.c already accumulated quite a few random stuff. Do strictly copy/paste + add required headers to compile. Compile-tested on many configs and archs. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Cc: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
