prlimit: do_prlimit needs to have a speculation check

2023-01-24T06:11:49Z

commit 739790605705ddcf18f21782b9c99ad7d53a8c11 upstream. do_prlimit() adds the user-controlled resource value to a pointer that will subsequently be dereferenced. In order to help prevent this codepath from being used as a spectre "gadget" a barrier needs to be added after checking the range.

prctl: allow to setup brk for et_dyn executables

2021-09-26T11:39:47Z

commit e1fbbd073137a9d63279f6bf363151a938347640 upstream. Keno Fischer reported that when a binray loaded via ld-linux-x the prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP) doesn't allow to setup brk value because it lays before mm:end_data. For example a test program shows | # ~/t | | start_code 401000 | end_code 401a15 | start_stack 7ffce4577dd0 | start_data 403e10 | end_data 40408c | start_brk b5b000 | sbrk(0) b5b000 and when executed via ld-linux | # /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ~/t | | start_code 7fc25b0a4000 | end_code 7fc25b0c4524 | start_stack 7fffcc6b2400 | start_data 7fc25b0ce4c0 | end_data 7fc25b0cff98 | start_brk 55555710c000 | sbrk(0) 55555710c000 This of course prevent criu from restoring such programs. Looking into how kernel operates with brk/start_brk inside brk() syscall I don't see any problem if we allow to setup brk/start_brk without checking for end_data. Even if someone pass some weird address here on a purpose then the worst possible result will be an unexpected unmapping of existing vma (own vma, since prctl works with the callers memory) but test for RLIMIT_DATA is still valid and a user won't be able to gain more memory in case of expanding VMAs via new values shipped with prctl call.

kernel/sys.c: avoid copying possible padding bytes in copy_to_user

2020-10-01T11:14:29Z

[ Upstream commit 5e1aada08cd19ea652b2d32a250501d09b02ff2e ] Initialization is not guaranteed to zero padding bytes so use an explicit memset instead to avoid leaking any kernel content in any possible padding bytes.

kernel/sys.c: prctl: fix false positive in validate_prctl_map()

2019-06-15T09:54:01Z

[ Upstream commit a9e73998f9d705c94a8dca9687633adc0f24a19a ] While validating new map we require the @start_data to be strictly less than @end_data, which is fine for regular applications (this is why this nit didn't trigger for that long). These members are set from executable loaders such as elf handers, still it is pretty valid to have a loadable data section with zero size in file, in such case the start_data is equal to end_data once kernel loader finishes. As a result when we're trying to restore such programs the procedure fails and the kernel returns -EINVAL. From the image dump of a program: | "mm_start_code": "0x400000", | "mm_end_code": "0x8f5fb4", | "mm_start_data": "0xf1bfb0", | "mm_end_data": "0xf1bfb0", Thus we need to change validate_prctl_map from strictly less to less or equal operator use.

sys: don't hold uts_sem while accessing userspace memory

2018-08-11T07:05:53Z

Holding uts_sem as a writer while accessing userspace memory allows a namespace admin to stall all processes that attempt to take uts_sem. Instead, move data through stack buffers and don't access userspace memory while uts_sem is held.

sysinfo: Remove get_monotonic_boottime()

2018-06-19T07:56:27Z

get_monotonic_boottime() is deprecated because it uses the old 'timespec' structure. This replaces one of the last callers with a call to ktime_get_boottime.

mm: introduce arg_lock to protect arg_start|end and env_start|end in mm_struct

2018-06-08T00:34:34Z

mmap_sem is on the hot path of kernel, and it very contended, but it is abused too. It is used to protect arg_start|end and evn_start|end when reading /proc/$PID/cmdline and /proc/$PID/environ, but it doesn't make sense since those proc files just expect to read 4 values atomically and not related to VM, they could be set to arbitrary values by C/R. And, the mmap_sem contention may cause unexpected issue like below: INFO: task ps:14018 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Tainted: G E 4.9.79-009.ali3000.alios7.x86_64 #1 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. ps D 0 14018 1 0x00000004 Call Trace: schedule+0x36/0x80 rwsem_down_read_failed+0xf0/0x150 call_rwsem_down_read_failed+0x18/0x30 down_read+0x20/0x40 proc_pid_cmdline_read+0xd9/0x4e0 __vfs_read+0x37/0x150 vfs_read+0x96/0x130 SyS_read+0x55/0xc0 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1a/0xc5 Both Alexey Dobriyan and Michal Hocko suggested to use dedicated lock for them to mitigate the abuse of mmap_sem. So, introduce a new spinlock in mm_struct to protect the concurrent access to arg_start|end, env_start|end and others, as well as replace write map_sem to read to protect the race condition between prctl and sys_brk which might break check_data_rlimit(), and makes prctl more friendly to other VM operations. This patch just eliminates the abuse of mmap_sem, but it can't resolve the above hung task warning completely since the later access_remote_vm() call needs acquire mmap_sem. The mmap_sem scalability issue will be solved in the future.

kernel/sys.c: fix potential Spectre v1 issue

2018-05-26T01:12:11Z

`resource' can be controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability. This issue was detected with the help of Smatch: kernel/sys.c:1474 __do_compat_sys_old_getrlimit() warn: potential spectre issue 'get_current()->signal->rlim' (local cap) kernel/sys.c:1455 __do_sys_old_getrlimit() warn: potential spectre issue 'get_current()->signal->rlim' (local cap) Fix this by sanitizing *resource* before using it to index current->signal->rlim Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be completed with a dependent load/store [1].
