* namei: allow restricted O_CREAT of FIFOs and regular filesSalvatore Mesoraca2018-08-241-3/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Disallows open of FIFOs or regular files not owned by the user in world writable sticky directories, unless the owner is the same as that of the directory or the file is opened without the O_CREAT flag. The purpose is to make data spoofing attacks harder. This protection can be turned on and off separately for FIFOs and regular files via sysctl, just like the symlinks/hardlinks protection. This patch is based on Openwall's "HARDEN_FIFO" feature by Solar Designer. This is a brief list of old vulnerabilities that could have been prevented by this feature, some of them even allow for privilege escalation: CVE-2000-1134 CVE-2007-3852 CVE-2008-0525 CVE-2009-0416 CVE-2011-4834 CVE-2015-1838 CVE-2015-7442 CVE-2016-7489 This list is not meant to be complete. It's difficult to track down all vulnerabilities of this kind because they were often reported without any mention of this particular attack vector. In fact, before hardlinks/symlinks restrictions, fifos/regular files weren't the favorite vehicle to exploit them.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Alter the dynroot mount so that cells created by manipulation of /proc/fs/afs/cells and /proc/fs/afs/rootcell and by specification of a root cell as a module parameter will cause directories for those cells to be created in the dynamic root superblock for the network namespace[*]. To this end: (1) Only one dynamic root superblock is now created per network namespace and this is shared between all attempts to mount it. This makes it easier to find the superblock to modify. (2) When a dynamic root superblock is created, the list of cells is walked and directories created for each cell already defined. (3) When a new cell is added, if a dynamic root superblock exists, a directory is created for it. (4) When a cell is destroyed, the directory is removed. (5) These directories are created by calling lookup_one_len() on the root dir which automatically creates them if they don't exist. [*] Inasmuch as network namespaces are currently supported here.

The two key patches are "evm: Don't update hmacs in user ns mounts" and "vfs: Don't allow changing the link count of an inode with an invalid uid or gid".

The reason was race avoidance - emptiness check is worthless if somebody could just go and create new objects in the victim directory afterwards. With introduction of dcache the checks had been replaced with checking the refcount of dentry. However, since a cached negative lookup leaves a negative child dentry, such check had lead to false positives - with empty foo/ doing stat foo/bar before rmdir foo ended up with -EBUSY unless the negative dentry of foo/bar happened to be evicted by the time of rmdir(2). That had been fixed by doing shrink_dcache_parent() just before the refcount check. At the same time, ext2_rmdir() has grown a private solution that eliminated those -EBUSY - it did something (setting ->i_size to 0) which made any subsequent ext2_add_entry() fail. Unfortunately, even with shrink_dcache_parent() the check had been racy - after all, the victim itself could be found by dcache lookup just after we'd checked its refcount. That got fixed by a new helper (dentry_unhash()) that did shrink_dcache_parent() and unhashed the sucker if its refcount ended up equal to 1. That got called before ->rmdir(), turning the checks in ->rmdir() instances into "if not unhashed fail with -EBUSY". Which reduced the boilerplate nicely, but had an unpleasant side effect - now shrink_dcache_parent() had been done before the emptiness checks, leading to easily triggerable calls of shrink_dcache_parent() on arbitrary large subtrees, quite possibly nested into each other. Several years later the ext2-private trick had been generalized - (in-core) inodes of dead directories are flagged and calls of lookup, readdir and all directory-modifying methods were prevented in so marked directories. Remaining boilerplate in ->rmdir() instances became redundant and some instances got rid of it. In 2011 the call of dentry_unhash() got shifted into ->rmdir() instances and then killed off in all of them. That has lead to another problem, though - in case of successful rmdir we *want* any (negative) child dentries dropped and the victim itself made negative. There's no point keeping cached negative lookups in foo when we can get the negative lookup of foo itself cached. So shrink_dcache_parent() call had been restored; unfortunately, it went into the place where dentry_unhash() used to be, i.e. before the ->rmdir() call. Note that we don't unhash anymore, so any "is it busy" checks would be racy; fortunately, all of them are gone. We should've done that call right *after* successful ->rmdir(). That reduces contention caused by tree-walking in shrink_dcache_parent() and, especially, contention caused by evictions in two nested subtrees going on in parallel. The same goes for directory-overwriting rename() - the story there had been parallel to that of rmdir(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit cab64df194667dc5d9d786f0a895f647f5501c0d. Having vfs_open() in some cases drop the reference to struct file combined with error = vfs_open(path, f, cred); if (error) { put_filp(f); return ERR_PTR(error); } return f; is flat-out wrong. It used to be error = vfs_open(path, f, cred); if (!error) { /* from now on we need fput() to dispose of f */ error = open_check_o_direct(f); if (error) { fput(f); f = ERR_PTR(error); } } else { put_filp(f); f = ERR_PTR(error); } and sure, having that open_check_o_direct() boilerplate gotten rid of is nice, but not that way... Worse, another call chain (via finish_open()) is FUBAR now wrt FILE_OPENED handling - in that case we get error returned, with file already hit by fput() *AND* FILE_OPENED not set. Guess what happens in path_openat(), when it hits if (!(opened & FILE_OPENED)) { BUG_ON(!error); put_filp(file); } The root cause of all that crap is that the callers of do_dentry_open() have no way to tell which way did it fail; while that could be fixed up (by passing something like int *opened to do_dentry_open() and have it marked if we'd called ->open()), it's probably much too late in the cycle to do so right now.

This is mostly a problem for those 64 bit platforms without HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, but even on x86_64, unaligned accesses carry a penalty. A user-space microbenchmark doing nothing but strncpy_from_user from the same (aligned) source string runs about 5% faster when the destination is aligned. That number increases to 20% when the string is long enough (~32 bytes) that we cross a cache line boundary - that's for example the case for about half the files a "git status" in a kernel tree ends up stat'ing. This won't make any real-life workloads 5%, or even 1%, faster, but path lookup is common enough that cutting even a few cycles should be worthwhile. So ensure we always pass an aligned destination pointer to strncpy_from_user. Instead of explicit padding, simply swap the refcnt and aname members, as suggested by Al Viro.

Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel. At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is better to use use a different calling convention for system calls there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near future. Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific code. This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the kernel with the exception of arch/.
