Add file_ns_capable() helper function for open-time capability checking

2013-04-26T19:18:20Z

commit 935d8aabd4331f47a89c3e1daa5779d23cf244ee upstream. Nothing is using it yet, but this will allow us to delay the open-time checks to use time, without breaking the normal UNIX permission semantics where permissions are determined by the opener (and the file descriptor can then be passed to a different process, or the process can drop capabilities).

userns: Changing any namespace id mappings should require privileges

2013-04-25T19:51:23Z

commit 41c21e351e79004dbb4efa4bc14a53a7e0af38c5 upstream. Changing uid/gid/projid mappings doesn't change your id within the namespace; it reconfigures the namespace. Unprivileged programs should *not* be able to write these files. (We're also checking the privileges on the wrong task.) Given the write-once nature of these files and the other security checks, this is likely impossible to usefully exploit. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

userns: Check uid_map's opener's fsuid, not the current fsuid

userns: Don't let unprivileged users trick privileged users into setting the id_map

2013-04-25T19:51:23Z

commit 6708075f104c3c9b04b23336bb0366ca30c3931b upstream. When we require privilege for setting /proc//uid_map or /proc//gid_map no longer allow an unprivileged user to open the file and pass it to a privileged program to write to the file. Instead when privilege is required require both the opener and the writer to have the necessary capabilities. I have tested this code and verified that setting /proc//uid_map fails when an unprivileged user opens the file and a privielged user attempts to set the mapping, that unprivileged users can still map their own id, and that a privileged users can still setup an arbitrary mapping.

perf: Treat attr.config as u64 in perf_swevent_init()

2013-04-25T19:51:23Z

commit 8176cced706b5e5d15887584150764894e94e02f upstream. Trinity discovered that we fail to check all 64 bits of attr.config passed by user space, resulting to out-of-bounds access of the perf_swevent_enabled array in sw_perf_event_destroy(). Introduced in commit b0a873ebb ("perf: Register PMU implementations").

sched/debug: Fix sd->*_idx limit range avoiding overflow

2013-04-25T19:51:12Z

commit fd9b86d37a600488dbd80fe60cca46b822bff1cd upstream. Commit 201c373e8e ("sched/debug: Limit sd->*_idx range on sysctl") was an incomplete bug fix. This patch fixes sd->*_idx limit range to [0 ~ CPU_LOAD_IDX_MAX-1] avoiding array overflow caused by setting sd->*_idx to CPU_LOAD_IDX_MAX on sysctl.

sched: Convert BUG_ON()s in try_to_wake_up_local() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s

2013-04-25T19:51:11Z

commit 383efcd00053ec40023010ce5034bd702e7ab373 upstream. try_to_wake_up_local() should only be invoked to wake up another task in the same runqueue and BUG_ON()s are used to enforce the rule. Missing try_to_wake_up_local() can stall workqueue execution but such stalls are likely to be finite either by another work item being queued or the one blocked getting unblocked. There's no reason to trigger BUG while holding rq lock crashing the whole system. Convert BUG_ON()s in try_to_wake_up_local() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s.

kernel/signal.c: stop info leak via the tkill and the tgkill syscalls

2013-04-25T19:51:10Z

commit b9e146d8eb3b9ecae5086d373b50fa0c1f3e7f0f upstream. This fixes a kernel memory contents leak via the tkill and tgkill syscalls for compat processes. This is visible in the siginfo_t->_sifields._rt.si_sigval.sival_ptr field when handling signals delivered from tkill. The place of the infoleak: int copy_siginfo_to_user32(compat_siginfo_t __user *to, siginfo_t *from) { ... put_user_ex(ptr_to_compat(from->si_ptr), &to->si_ptr); ... } Signed-off-by: Emese Revfy Reviewed-by: PaX Team Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Cc: Al Viro Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: "Eric W.

hrtimer: Don't reinitialize a cpu_base lock on CPU_UP

2013-04-25T19:51:09Z

commit 84cc8fd2fe65866e49d70b38b3fdf7219dd92fe0 upstream. The current code makes the assumption that a cpu_base lock won't be held if the CPU corresponding to that cpu_base is offline, which isn't always true. If a hrtimer is not queued, then it will not be migrated by migrate_hrtimers() when a CPU is offlined. Therefore, the hrtimer's cpu_base may still point to a CPU which has subsequently gone offline if the timer wasn't enqueued at the time the CPU went down. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but a cpu_base's lock is blindly reinitialized each time a CPU is brought up. If a CPU is brought online during the period that another thread is performing a hrtimer operation on a stale hrtimer, then the lock will be reinitialized under its feet, and a SPIN_BUG() like the following will be observed: <0>[ 28.082085] BUG: spinlock already unlocked on CPU#0, swapper/0/0 <0>[ 28.087078] lock: 0xc4780b40, value 0x0 .magic: dead4ead, .owner: /-1, .owner_cpu: -1 <4>[ 42.451150] [] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0x120) from [] (do_raw_spin_unlock+0x44/0xdc) <4>[ 42.460430] [] (do_raw_spin_unlock+0x44/0xdc) from [] (_raw_spin_unlock+0x8/0x30) <4>[ 42.469632] [] (_raw_spin_unlock+0x8/0x30) from [] (__hrtimer_start_range_ns+0x1e4/0x4f8) <4>[ 42.479521] [] (__hrtimer_start_range_ns+0x1e4/0x4f8) from [] (hrtimer_start+0x20/0x28) <4>[ 42.489247] [] (hrtimer_start+0x20/0x28) from [] (rcu_idle_enter_common+0x1ac/0x320) <4>[ 42.498709] [] (rcu_idle_enter_common+0x1ac/0x320) from [] (rcu_idle_enter+0xa0/0xb8) <4>[ 42.508259] [] (rcu_idle_enter+0xa0/0xb8) from [] (cpu_idle+0x24/0xf0) <4>[ 42.516503] [] (cpu_idle+0x24/0xf0) from [] (rest_init+0x88/0xa0) <4>[ 42.524319] [] (rest_init+0x88/0xa0) from [] (start_kernel+0x3d0/0x434) As an example, this particular crash occurred when hrtimer_start() was executed on CPU #0. The code locked the hrtimer's current cpu_base corresponding to CPU #1. CPU #0 then tried to switch the hrtimer's cpu_base to an optimal CPU which was online. In this case, it selected the cpu_base corresponding to CPU #3. Before it could proceed, CPU #1 came online and reinitialized the spinlock corresponding to its cpu_base. Thus now CPU #0 held a lock which was reinitialized. When CPU #0 finally ended up unlocking the old cpu_base corresponding to CPU #1 so that it could switch to CPU #3, we hit this SPIN_BUG() above while in switch_hrtimer_base(). CPU #0 CPU #1 ---- ---- ... hrtimer_start() lock_hrtimer_base(base #1) ... init_hrtimers_cpu() switch_hrtimer_base() ... ... raw_spin_lock_init(&cpu_base->lock) raw_spin_unlock(&cpu_base->lock) ... Solve this by statically initializing the lock.

kthread: Prevent unpark race which puts threads on the wrong cpu

2013-04-25T19:51:09Z

commit f2530dc71cf0822f90bb63ea4600caaef33a66bb upstream. The smpboot threads rely on the park/unpark mechanism which binds per cpu threads on a particular core. Though the functionality is racy: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 unpark(T) wake_up_process(T) clear(SHOULD_PARK) T runs leave parkme() due to !SHOULD_PARK bind_to(CPU2) BUG_ON(wrong CPU) We cannot let the tasks move themself to the target CPU as one of those tasks is actually the migration thread itself, which requires that it starts running on the target cpu right away. The solution to this problem is to prevent wakeups in park mode which are not from unpark(). That way we can guarantee that the association of the task to the target cpu is working correctly. Add a new task state (TASK_PARKED) which prevents other wakeups and use this state explicitly for the unpark wakeup. Peter noticed: Also, since the task state is visible to userspace and all the parked tasks are still in the PID space, its a good hint in ps and friends that these tasks aren't really there for the moment. The migration thread has another related issue. CPU0 CPU1 Bring up CPU2 create_thread(T) park(T) wait_for_completion() parkme() complete() sched_set_stop_task() schedule(TASK_PARKED) The sched_set_stop_task() call is issued while the task is on the runqueue of CPU1 and that confuses the hell out of the stop_task class on that cpu. So we need the same synchronizaion before sched_set_stop_task().
