fs/coredump: prevent fsuid=0 dumps into user-controlled directories

2016-04-18T12:51:07Z

[ Upstream commit 378c6520e7d29280f400ef2ceaf155c86f05a71a ] This commit fixes the following security hole affecting systems where all of the following conditions are fulfilled: - The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2. - The kernel.core_pattern sysctl's value starts with "/". (Systems where kernel.core_pattern starts with "|/" are not affected.) - Unprivileged user namespace creation is permitted. (This is true on Linux >=3.8, but some distributions disallow it by default using a distro patch.) Under these conditions, if a program executes under secure exec rules, causing it to run with the SUID_DUMP_ROOT flag, then unshares its user namespace, changes its root directory and crashes, the coredump will be written using fsuid=0 and a path derived from kernel.core_pattern - but this path is interpreted relative to the root directory of the process, allowing the attacker to control where a coredump will be written with root privileges. To fix the security issue, always interpret core_pattern for dumps that are written under SUID_DUMP_ROOT relative to the root directory of init.

tracing: Fix trace_printk() to print when not using bprintk()

2016-04-18T12:51:06Z

[ Upstream commit 3debb0a9ddb16526de8b456491b7db60114f7b5e ] The trace_printk() code will allocate extra buffers if the compile detects that a trace_printk() is used. To do this, the format of the trace_printk() is saved to the __trace_printk_fmt section, and if that section is bigger than zero, the buffers are allocated (along with a message that this has happened). If trace_printk() uses a format that is not a constant, and thus something not guaranteed to be around when the print happens, the compiler optimizes the fmt out, as it is not used, and the __trace_printk_fmt section is not filled. This means the kernel will not allocate the special buffers needed for the trace_printk() and the trace_printk() will not write anything to the tracing buffer. Adding a "__used" to the variable in the __trace_printk_fmt section will keep it around, even though it is set to NULL. This will keep the string from being printed in the debugfs/tracing/printk_formats section as it is not needed.

tracing: Fix crash from reading trace_pipe with sendfile

2016-04-18T12:51:05Z

[ Upstream commit a29054d9478d0435ab01b7544da4f674ab13f533 ] If tracing contains data and the trace_pipe file is read with sendfile(), then it can trigger a NULL pointer dereference and various BUG_ON within the VM code. There's a patch to fix this in the splice_to_pipe() code, but it's also a good idea to not let that happen from trace_pipe either.

watchdog: don't run proc_watchdog_update if new value is same as old

2016-04-18T12:51:01Z

[ Upstream commit a1ee1932aa6bea0bb074f5e3ced112664e4637ed ] While working on a script to restore all sysctl params before a series of tests I found that writing any value into the /proc/sys/kernel/{nmi_watchdog,soft_watchdog,watchdog,watchdog_thresh} causes them to call proc_watchdog_update(). NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter. NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter. NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter. NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter.

sched/cputime: Fix steal_account_process_tick() to always return jiffies

2016-04-18T12:50:49Z

[ Upstream commit f9c904b7613b8b4c85b10cd6b33ad41b2843fa9d ] The callers of steal_account_process_tick() expect it to return whether a jiffy should be considered stolen or not. Currently the return value of steal_account_process_tick() is in units of cputime, which vary between either jiffies or nsecs depending on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN. If cputime has nsecs granularity and there is a tiny amount of stolen time (a few nsecs, say) then we will consider the entire tick stolen and will not account the tick on user/system/idle, causing /proc/stats to show invalid data. The fix is to change steal_account_process_tick() to accumulate the stolen time and only account it once it's worth a jiffy. (Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for suggestions to fix a bug in my first version of the patch.)

modules: fix longstanding /proc/kallsyms vs module insertion race.

2016-04-13T21:14:27Z

[ Upstream commit 8244062ef1e54502ef55f54cced659913f244c3e ] For CONFIG_KALLSYMS, we keep two symbol tables and two string tables. There's one full copy, marked SHF_ALLOC and laid out at the end of the module's init section. There's also a cut-down version that only contains core symbols and strings, and lives in the module's core section. After module init (and before we free the module memory), we switch the mod->symtab, mod->num_symtab and mod->strtab to point to the core versions. We do this under the module_mutex. However, kallsyms doesn't take the module_mutex: it uses preempt_disable() and rcu tricks to walk through the modules, because it's used in the oops path. It's also used in /proc/kallsyms. There's nothing atomic about the change of these variables, so we can get the old (larger!) num_symtab and the new symtab pointer; in fact this is what I saw when trying to reproduce. By grouping these variables together, we can use a carefully-dereferenced pointer to ensure we always get one or the other (the free of the module init section is already done in an RCU callback, so that's safe). We allocate the init one at the end of the module init section, and keep the core one inside the struct module itself (it could also have been allocated at the end of the module core, but that's probably overkill).

kernel/resource.c: fix muxed resource handling in __request_region()

2016-04-13T21:14:25Z

[ Upstream commit 59ceeaaf355fa0fb16558ef7c24413c804932ada ] In __request_region, if a conflict with a BUSY and MUXED resource is detected, then the caller goes to sleep and waits for the resource to be released. A pointer on the conflicting resource is kept. At wake-up this pointer is used as a parent to retry to request the region. A first problem is that this pointer might well be invalid (if for example the conflicting resource have already been freed). Another problem is that the next call to __request_region() fails to detect a remaining conflict. The previously conflicting resource is passed as a parameter and __request_region() will look for a conflict among the children of this resource and not at the resource itself. It is likely to succeed anyway, even if there is still a conflict. Instead, the parent of the conflicting resource should be passed to __request_region(). As a fix, this patch doesn't update the parent resource pointer in the case we have to wait for a muxed region right after.

ptrace: use fsuid, fsgid, effective creds for fs access checks

2016-04-12T02:07:35Z

[ Upstream commit caaee6234d05a58c5b4d05e7bf766131b810a657 ] By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID / permitted capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually intended to use its credentials. To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller credentials (e.g. in case out-of-tree code or newly added code omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS flag), use two new flags and require one of them to be set. The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped its privileges, e.g. by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the intent to perform following syscalls with the credentials of a user, it still passed ptrace access checks that the user would not be able to pass. While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged task to perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the ptrace access check is reused for things in procfs. In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries only rely on ptrace access checks: /proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in this scenario: lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -> /root/foobar drwx------ root root /root drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar -rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary changes its effective credentials as described and then dumps a user-specified file, this could be used by an attacker to reveal the memory layout of root's processes or reveal the contents of files he is not allowed to access (through /proc/$pid/cwd).
