2016-06-07coredump: fix dumping through pipesMateusz Guzik1-1/+3
The offset in the core file used to be tracked with ->written field of the coredump_params structure. The field was retired in favour of file->f_pos. However, ->f_pos is not maintained for pipes which leads to breakage. Restore explicit tracking of the offset in coredump_params. Introduce ->pos field for this purpose since ->written was already reused. Fixes: a00839395103 ("get rid of coredump_params->written").

2016-05-23coredump: make coredump_wait wait for mmap_sem for write killableMichal Hocko1-1/+3
coredump_wait waits for mmap_sem for write currently which can prevent oom_reaper to reclaim the oom victims address space asynchronously because that requires mmap_sem for read. This might happen if the oom victim is multi threaded and some thread(s) is holding mmap_sem for read (e.g. page fault) and it is stuck in the page allocator while other thread(s) reached coredump_wait already. This patch simply uses down_write_killable and bails out with EINTR if the lock got interrupted by the fatal signal. do_coredump will return right away and do_group_exit will take care to zap the whole thread group.

2016-05-12coredump: only charge written data against RLIMIT_COREOmar Sandoval1-3/+2
Commit 9b56d54380ad ("dump_skip(): dump_seek() replacement taking coredump_params") introduced a regression with regard to RLIMIT_CORE. Previously, when a core dump was sparse, only the data that was actually written out would count against the limit. Now, the sparse ranges are also included, which leads to truncated core dumps when the actual disk usage is still well below the limit. Restore the old behavior by only counting what gets emitted and ignoring what gets skipped. Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2016-03-22fs/coredump: prevent fsuid=0 dumps into user-controlled directoriesJann Horn1-4/+26
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.

2016-01-20fs/coredump: prevent "" / "." / ".." core path componentsJann Horn1-0/+20
Let %h and %e print empty values as "!", "." as "!" and ".." as "!.". This prevents hostnames and comm values that are empty or consist of one or two dots from changing the directory level at which the corefile will be stored. Consider the case where someone decides to sort coredumps by hostname with a core pattern like "/cores/%h/core.%e.%p.%t" or so. In this case, hostnames "" and "." would cause the coredump to land directly in /cores, which is not what the intent behind the core pattern is, and ".." would cause the coredump to land in /. Yeah, there probably aren't many people who do that, but I still don't want this edgecase to be kind of broken. It seems very unlikely that this caused security issues anywhere, so I'm not requesting a stable backport.

2015-11-06coredump: ensure all coredumping tasks have SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMPOleg Nesterov1-6/+6
task_will_free_mem() is wrong in many ways, and in particular the SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP check is not reliable: a task can participate in the coredumping without SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP bit set. change zap_threads() paths to always set SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP even if other CLONE_VM processes can't react to SIGKILL. Fortunately, at least oom-kill case if fine; it kills all tasks sharing the same mm, so it should also kill the process which actually dumps the core. The change in prepare_signal() is not strictly necessary, it just ensures that the patch does not bring another subtle behavioural change. But it reminds us that this SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT/COREDUMP case needs more changes.

2015-09-10fs: Don't dump core if the corefile would become world-readable.Jann Horn1-2/+6
On a filesystem like vfat, all files are created with the same owner and mode independent of who created the file. When a vfat filesystem is mounted with root as owner of all files and read access for everyone, root's processes left world-readable coredumps on it (but other users' processes only left empty corefiles when given write access because of the uid mismatch). Given that the old behavior was inconsistent and insecure, I don't see a problem with changing it. Now, all processes refuse to dump core unless the resulting corefile will only be readable by their owner.

2015-09-10fs: if a coredump already exists, unlink and recreate with O_EXCLJann Horn1-6/+32
It was possible for an attacking user to trick root (or another user) into writing his coredumps into an attacker-readable, pre-existing file using rename() or link(), causing the disclosure of secret data from the victim process' virtual memory. Depending on the configuration, it was also possible to trick root into overwriting system files with coredumps. Fix that issue by never writing coredumps into existing files. Requirements for the attack: - The attack only applies if the victim's process has a nonzero RLIMIT_CORE and is dumpable. - The attacker can trick the victim into coredumping into an attacker-writable directory D, either because the core_pattern is relative and the victim's cwd is attacker-writable or because an absolute core_pattern pointing to a world-writable directory is used. - The attacker has one of these: A: on a system with protected_hardlinks=0: execute access to a folder containing a victim-owned, attacker-readable file on the same partition as D, and the victim-owned file will be deleted before the main part of the attack takes place. (In practice, there are lots of files that fulfill this condition, e.g. entries in Debian's /var/lib/dpkg/info/.) This does not apply to most Linux systems because most distros set protected_hardlinks=1. B: on a system with protected_hardlinks=1: execute access to a folder containing a victim-owned, attacker-readable and attacker-writable file on the same partition as D, and the victim-owned file will be deleted before the main part of the attack takes place. (This seems to be uncommon.) C: on any system, independent of protected_hardlinks: write access to a non-sticky folder containing a victim-owned, attacker-readable file on the same partition as D (This seems to be uncommon.) The basic idea is that the attacker moves the victim-owned file to where he expects the victim process to dump its core. The victim process dumps its core into the existing file, and the attacker reads the coredump from it. If the attacker can't move the file because he does not have write access to the containing directory, he can instead link the file to a directory he controls, then wait for the original link to the file to be deleted (because the kernel checks that the link count of the corefile is 1). A less reliable variant that requires D to be non-sticky works with link() and does not require deletion of the original link: link() the file into D, but then unlink() it directly before the kernel performs the link count check. On systems with protected_hardlinks=0, this variant allows an attacker to not only gain information from coredumps, but also clobber existing, victim-writable files with coredumps. (This could theoretically lead to a privilege escalation.)

2015-06-25coredump: use from_kuid/kgid when formatting corenameNicolas Iooss1-2/+6
When adding __printf attribute to cn_printf, gcc reports some issues: fs/coredump.c:213:5: warning: format '%d' expects argument of type 'int', but argument 3 has type 'kuid_t' [-Wformat=] err = cn_printf(cn, "%d", cred->uid); ^ fs/coredump.c:217:5: warning: format '%d' expects argument of type 'int', but argument 3 has type 'kgid_t' [-Wformat=] err = cn_printf(cn, "%d", cred->gid); ^ These warnings come from the fact that the value of uid/gid needs to be extracted from the kuid_t/kgid_t structure before being used as an integer. More precisely, cred->uid and cred->gid need to be converted to either user-namespace uid/gid or to init_user_ns uid/gid. Use init_user_ns in order not to break existing ABI, and document this in Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt. While at it, format uid and gid values with %u instead of %d because uid_t/__kernel_uid32_t and gid_t/__kernel_gid32_t are unsigned int.

2014-10-14coredump: add %i/%I in core_pattern to report the tid of the crashed threadOleg Nesterov1-0/+8
format_corename() can only pass the leader's pid to the core handler, but there is no simple way to figure out which thread originated the coredump. As Jan explains, this also means that there is no simple way to create the backtrace of the crashed process: As programs are mostly compiled with implicit gcc -fomit-frame-pointer one needs program's .eh_frame section (equivalently PT_GNU_EH_FRAME segment) or .debug_frame section. .debug_frame usually is present only in separate debug info files usually not even installed on the system. While .eh_frame is a part of the executable/library (and it is even always mapped for C++ exceptions unwinding) it no longer has to be present anywhere on the disk as the program could be upgraded in the meantime and the running instance has its executable file already unlinked from disk. One possibility is to echo 0x3f >/proc/*/coredump_filter and dump all the file-backed memory including the executable's .eh_frame section. But that can create huge core files, for example even due to mmapped data files. Other possibility would be to read .eh_frame from /proc/PID/mem at the core_pattern handler time of the core dump. For the backtrace one needs to read the register state first which can be done from core_pattern handler: ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, tid, 0, PTRACE_O_TRACEEXIT) close(0); // close pipe fd to resume the sleeping dumper waitpid(); // should report EXIT PTRACE_GETREGS or other requests The remaining problem is how to get the 'tid' value of the crashed thread. It could be read from the first NT_PRSTATUS note of the core file but that makes the core_pattern handler complicated. Unfortunately %t is already used so this patch uses %i/%I. Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (https://github.com/abrt/abrt/wiki/overview) is experimenting with this. It is using the elfutils (https://fedorahosted.org/elfutils/) unwinder for generating the backtraces. Apart from not needing matching executables as mentioned above, another advantage is that we can get the backtrace without saving the core (which might be quite large) to disk.

2013-07-03coredump: kill cn_escape(), introduce cn_esc_printf()Oleg Nesterov1-23/+21
The usage of cn_escape() looks really annoying, imho this sequence needs a wrapper. And it is buggy. If cn_printf() does expand_corename() cn_escape() writes to the freed memory. Introduce cn_esc_printf() which hopefully does this all right. It records the index before cn_vprintf(), not "char *" which is no longer valid (in general) after krealloc().

do_coredump() assumes that format_corename() can only fail if expand_corename() fails and frees cn->corename. This is not true, for example cn_print_exe_file() can fail and in this case nobody frees cn->corename.

2013-04-30coredump: change wait_for_dump_helpers() to use wait_event_interruptible()Oleg Nesterov1-6/+9
wait_for_dump_helpers() calls wake_up/kill_fasync from inside the wait_event-like loop. This is not needed and in fact this is not strictly correct, we can/should do this only once after we change pipe->writers. We could even check if it becomes zero. Change this code to use use wait_event_interruptible(), this can also help to make this wait freezable. With this patch we check pipe->readers without pipe_lock(), this is fine. Once we see pipe->readers == 1 we know that the handler decremented the counter, this is all we need.

2013-04-30coredump: introduce dump_interrupted()Oleg Nesterov1-3/+17
By discussion with Mandeep. Change dump_write(), dump_seek() and do_coredump() to check signal_pending() and abort if it is true. dump_seek() does this only before f_op->llseek(), otherwise it relies on dump_write(). We need this change to ensure that the coredump won't delay suspend, and to ensure it reacts to SIGKILL "quickly enough", a core dump can take a lot of time. In particular this can help oom-killer. We add the new trivial helper, dump_interrupted() to add the comments and to simplify the potential freezer changes. Perhaps it will have more callers. Ideally it should do try_to_freeze() but then we need the unpleasant changes in dump_write() and wait_for_dump_helpers(). It is not trivial to change dump_write() to restart if f_op->write() fails because of freezing(). We need to handle the short writes, we need to clear TIF_SIGPENDING (and we can't rely on recalc_sigpending() unless we change it to check PF_DUMPCORE). And if the buggy f_op->write() sets TIF_SIGPENDING we can not distinguish this case from the race with freeze_task() + __thaw_task(). So we simply accept the fact that the freezer can truncate a core-dump but at least you can reliably suspend. Hopefully we can tolerate this unlikely case and the necessary complications doesn't worth a trouble. But if we decide to make the coredumping freezable later we can do this on top of this change.

2013-04-30coredump: sanitize the setting of signal->group_exit_codeOleg Nesterov1-5/+6
Now that the coredumping process can be SIGKILL'ed, the setting of ->group_exit_code in do_coredump() can race with complete_signal() and SIGKILL or 0x80 can be "lost", or wait(status) can report status == SIGKILL | 0x80. But the main problem is that it is not clear to me what should we do if binfmt->core_dump() succeeds but SIGKILL was sent, that is why this patch comes as a separate change. This patch adds 0x80 if ->core_dump() succeeds and the process was not killed. But perhaps we can (should?) re-set ->group_exit_code changed by SIGKILL back to "siginfo->si_signo |= 0x80" in case when core_dumped == T.

2013-04-30coredump: ensure that SIGKILL always kills the dumping threadOleg Nesterov1-2/+8
prepare_signal() blesses SIGKILL sent to the dumping process but this signal can be "lost" anyway. The problems is, complete_signal() sees SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and skips the "kill them all" logic. And even if the dumping process is single-threaded (so the target is always "correct"), the group-wide SIGKILL is not recorded in task->pending and thus __fatal_signal_pending() won't be true. A multi-threaded case has even more problems. And even ignoring all technical details, SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT doesn't look right to me. This coredumping process is not exiting yet, it can do a lot of work dumping the core. With this patch the dumping process doesn't have SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, we set signal->group_exit_task instead. This makes signal_group_exit() true and thus this should equally close the races with exit/exec/stop but allows to kill the dumping thread reliably. Notes: - It is not clear what should we do with ->group_exit_code if the dumper was killed, see the next change. - we need more (hopefully straightforward) changes to ensure that SIGKILL actually interrupts the coredump. Basically we need to check __fatal_signal_pending() in dump_write() and dump_seek().

2013-04-30coredump: only SIGKILL should interrupt the coredumping taskOleg Nesterov1-8/+5
There are 2 well known and ancient problems with coredump/signals, and a lot of related bug reports: - do_coredump() clears TIF_SIGPENDING but of course this can't help if, say, SIGCHLD comes after that. In this case the coredump can fail unexpectedly. See for example wait_for_dump_helper()->signal_pending() check but there are other reasons. - At the same time, dumping a huge core on the slow media can take a lot of time/resources and there is no way to kill the coredumping task reliably. In particular this is not oom_kill-friendly. This patch tries to fix the 1st problem, and makes the preparation for the next changes. We add the new SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP flag set by zap_threads() to indicate that this process dumps the core. prepare_signal() checks this flag and nacks any signal except SIGKILL. Note that this check tries to be conservative, in the long term we should probably treat the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT case equally but this needs more discussion. See marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120508897917439 Notes: - recalc_sigpending() doesn't check SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP. The patch assumes that dump_write/etc paths should never call it, but we can change it as well. - There is another source of TIF_SIGPENDING, freezer. This will be addressed separately.
