numa: fix /proc//numa_maps for hugetlbfs on s390

2016-02-25T20:01:22+00:00

commit 5c2ff95e41c9290d16556cd02e35b25d81be8fe0 upstream. When working with hugetlbfs ptes (which are actually pmds) is not valid to directly use pte functions like pte_present() because the hardware bit layout of pmds and ptes can be different. This is the case on s390. Therefore we have to convert the hugetlbfs ptes first into a valid pte encoding with huge_ptep_get(). Currently the /proc//numa_maps code uses hugetlbfs ptes without huge_ptep_get(). On s390 this leads to the following two problems: 1) The pte_present() function returns false (instead of true) for PROT_NONE hugetlb ptes. Therefore PROT_NONE vmas are missing completely in the "numa_maps" output. 2) The pte_dirty() function always returns false for all hugetlb ptes. Therefore these pages are reported as "mapped=xxx" instead of "dirty=xxx". Therefore use huge_ptep_get() to correctly convert the hugetlb ptes.

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

2016-02-25T20:01:16+00:00

commit caaee6234d05a58c5b4d05e7bf766131b810a657 upstream. 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).

proc: fix -ESRCH error when writing to /proc/$pid/coredump_filter

2015-12-18T22:25:40+00:00

Writing to /proc/$pid/coredump_filter always returns -ESRCH because commit 774636e19ed51 ("proc: convert to kstrto*()/kstrto*_from_user()") removed the setting of ret after the get_proc_task call and incorrectly left it as -ESRCH. Instead, return 0 when successful.

proc: actually make proc_fd_permission() thread-friendly

2015-11-07T01:50:42+00:00

The commit 96d0df79f264 ("proc: make proc_fd_permission() thread-friendly") fixed the access to /proc/self/fd from sub-threads, but introduced another problem: a sub-thread can't access /proc//fd/ or /proc/thread-self/fd if generic_permission() fails. Change proc_fd_permission() to check same_thread_group(pid_task(), current).

As mentioned in the commit 56eecdb912b5 ("mm: Use ptep/pmdp_set_numa() for updating _PAGE_NUMA bit"), architectures like ppc64 don't do tlb flush in set_pte/pmd functions. So when dealing with existing pte in clear_soft_dirty, the pte must be cleared before being modified.
