ucounts: Move RLIMIT_NPROC handling after set_user

2022-02-23T11:03:20Z

commit c923a8e7edb010da67424077cbf1a6f1396ebd2e upstream. During set*id() which cred->ucounts to charge the the current process to is not known until after set_cred_ucounts. So move the RLIMIT_NPROC checking into a new helper flag_nproc_exceeded and call flag_nproc_exceeded after set_cred_ucounts. This is very much an arbitrary subset of the places where we currently change the RLIMIT_NPROC accounting, designed to preserve the existing logic. Fixing the existing logic will be the subject of another series of changes.

In commit 2863643fb8b9 ("set_user: add capability check when rlimit(RLIMIT_NPROC) exceeds") capable calls were added to set_user to make it more consistent with fork. Unfortunately because of call site differences those capable calls were checking the credentials of the user before set*id() instead of after set*id(). This breaks enforcement of RLIMIT_NPROC for applications that set the rlimit and then call set*id() while holding a full set of capabilities. The capabilities are only changed in the new credential in security_task_fix_setuid(). The code in apache suexec appears to follow this pattern. Commit 909cc4ae86f3 ("[PATCH] Fix two bugs with process limits (RLIMIT_NPROC)") where this check was added describes the targes of this capability check as: 2/ When a root-owned process (e.g. cgiwrap) sets up process limits and then calls setuid, the setuid should fail if the user would then be running more than rlim_cur[RLIMIT_NPROC] processes, but it doesn't. This patch adds an appropriate test. With this patch, and per-user process limit imposed in cgiwrap really works. So the original use case of this check also appears to match the broken pattern. Restore the enforcement of RLIMIT_NPROC by removing the bad capable checks added in set_user. This unfortunately restores the inconsistent state the code has been in for the last 11 years, but dealing with the inconsistencies looks like a larger problem.

prctl: allow to setup brk for et_dyn executables

2021-09-08T18:50:28Z

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.

set_user: add capability check when rlimit(RLIMIT_NPROC) exceeds

2021-08-12T12:54:25Z

in copy_process(): non root users but with capability CAP_SYS_RESOURCE or CAP_SYS_ADMIN will clean PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED flag even rlimit(RLIMIT_NPROC) exceeds. Add the same capability check logic here. Align the permission checks in copy_process() and set_user(). In copy_process() CAP_SYS_RESOURCE or CAP_SYS_ADMIN capable users will be able to circumvent and clear the PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED flag whereas they aren't able to the same in set_user(). There's no obvious logic to this and trying to unearth the reason in the thread didn't go anywhere. The gist seems to be that this code wants to make sure that a program can't successfully exec if it has gone through a set*id() transition while exceeding its RLIMIT_NPROC. A capable but non-INIT_USER caller getting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED set during a set*id() transition wouldn't be able to exec right away if they still exceed their RLIMIT_NPROC at the time of exec. So their exec would fail in fs/exec.c: if ((current->flags & PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED) && is_ucounts_overlimit(current_ucounts(), UCOUNT_RLIMIT_NPROC, rlimit(RLIMIT_NPROC))) { retval = -EAGAIN; goto out_ret; } However, if the caller were to fork() right after the set*id() transition but before the exec while still exceeding their RLIMIT_NPROC then they would get PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED cleared (while the child would inherit it): retval = -EAGAIN; if (is_ucounts_overlimit(task_ucounts(p), UCOUNT_RLIMIT_NPROC, rlimit(RLIMIT_NPROC))) { if (p->real_cred->user != INIT_USER && !capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE) && !capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)) goto bad_fork_free; } current->flags &= ~PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED; which means a subsequent exec by the capable caller would now succeed even though they could still exceed their RLIMIT_NPROC limit. This seems inconsistent. Allow a CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capable user to avoid PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED as they already can in copy_process().

sched: prctl() core-scheduling interface

2021-05-12T09:43:31Z

This patch provides support for setting and copying core scheduling 'task cookies' between threads (PID), processes (TGID), and process groups (PGID). The value of core scheduling isn't that tasks don't share a core, 'nosmt' can do that. The value lies in exploiting all the sharing opportunities that exist to recover possible lost performance and that requires a degree of flexibility in the API. From a security perspective (and there are others), the thread, process and process group distinction is an existent hierarchal categorization of tasks that reflects many of the security concerns about 'data sharing'. For example, protecting against cache-snooping by a thread that can just read the memory directly isn't all that useful. With this in mind, subcommands to CREATE/SHARE (TO/FROM) provide a mechanism to create and share cookies. CREATE/SHARE_TO specify a target pid with enum pidtype used to specify the scope of the targeted tasks. For example, PIDTYPE_TGID will share the cookie with the process and all of it's threads as typically desired in a security scenario. API: prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_GET, tgtpid, pidtype, &cookie) prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_CREATE, tgtpid, pidtype, NULL) prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_TO, tgtpid, pidtype, NULL) prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_FROM, srcpid, pidtype, NULL) where 'tgtpid/srcpid == 0' implies the current process and pidtype is kernel enum pid_type {PIDTYPE_PID, PIDTYPE_TGID, PIDTYPE_PGID, ...}. For return values, EINVAL, ENOMEM are what they say. ESRCH means the tgtpid/srcpid was not found. EPERM indicates lack of PTRACE permission access to tgtpid/srcpid. ENODEV indicates your machines lacks SMT.
