Eric W. Biederman 87b047d2be exec: Teach prepare_exec_creds how exec treats uids & gids
It is almost possible to use the result of prepare_exec_creds with no
modifications during exec.  Update prepare_exec_creds to initialize
the suid and the fsuid to the euid, and the sgid and the fsgid to the
egid.  This is all that is needed to handle the common case of exec
when nothing special like a setuid exec is happening.

That this preserves the existing behavior of exec can be verified
by examing bprm_fill_uid and cap_bprm_set_creds.

This change makes it clear that the later parts of exec that
update bprm->cred are just need to handle special cases such
as setuid exec and change of domains.

Linus Torvalds e033e7d4a8 Merge branch 'dhowells' (patches from DavidH)
Merge misc fixes from David Howells.

Two afs fixes and a key refcounting fix.

* dhowells:
  afs: Fix afs_lookup() to not clobber the version on a new dentry
  afs: Fix use-after-loss-of-ref
  keys: Fix request_key() cache

David Howells 8379bb84be keys: Fix request_key() cache
When the key cached by request_key() and co.  is cleaned up on exit(),
the code looks in the wrong task_struct, and so clears the wrong cache.
This leads to anomalies in key refcounting when doing, say, a kernel
build on an afs volume, that then trigger kasan to report a
use-after-free when the key is viewed in /proc/keys.

Fix this by making exit_creds() look in the passed-in task_struct rather
than in current (the task_struct cleanup code is deferred by RCU and
potentially run in another task).

Shakeel Butt 84029fd04c memcg: account security cred as well to kmemcg
The cred_jar kmem_cache is already memcg accounted in the current kernel
but cred->security is not.  Account cred->security to kmemcg.

Recently we saw high root slab usage on our production and on further
inspection, we found a buggy application leaking processes.  Though that
buggy application was contained within its memcg but we observe much
more system memory overhead, couple of GiBs, during that period.  This
overhead can adversely impact the isolation on the system.

One source of high overhead we found was cred->security objects, which
have a lifetime of at least the life of the process which allocated
them.

Linus Torvalds a29a0a467e Merge branch 'access-creds'
The access() (and faccessat()) credentials change can cause an
unnecessary load on the RCU machinery because every access() call ends
up freeing the temporary access credential using RCU.

This isn't really noticeable on small machines, but if you have hundreds
of cores you can cause huge slowdowns due to RCU storms.

It's easy to avoid: the temporary access crededntials aren't actually
normally accessed using RCU at all, so we can avoid the whole issue by
just marking them as such.

* access-creds:
  access: avoid the RCU grace period for the temporary subjective credentials
2019-07-25 08:36:29 -07:00
Linus Torvalds d7852fbd0f access: avoid the RCU grace period for the temporary subjective credentials
It turns out that 'access()' (and 'faccessat()') can cause a lot of RCU
work because it installs a temporary credential that gets allocated and
freed for each system call.

The allocation and freeing overhead is mostly benign, but because
credentials can be accessed under the RCU read lock, the freeing
involves a RCU grace period.

Which is not a huge deal normally, but if you have a lot of access()
calls, this causes a fair amount of seconday damage: instead of having a
nice alloc/free patterns that hits in hot per-CPU slab caches, you have
all those delayed free's, and on big machines with hundreds of cores,
the RCU overhead can end up being enormous.

But it turns out that all of this is entirely unnecessary.  Exactly
because access() only installs the credential as the thread-local
subjective credential, the temporary cred pointer doesn't actually need
to be RCU free'd at all.  Once we're done using it, we can just free it
synchronously and avoid all the RCU overhead.

So add a 'non_rcu' flag to 'struct cred', which can be set by users that
know they only use it in non-RCU context (there are other potential
users for this).  We can make it a union with the rcu freeing list head
that we need for the RCU case, so this doesn't need any extra storage.

Note that this also makes 'get_current_cred()' clear the new non_rcu
flag, in case we have filesystems that take a long-term reference to the
cred and then expect the RCU delayed freeing afterwards.  It's not
entirely clear that this is required, but it makes for clear semantics:
the subjective cred remains non-RCU as long as you only access it
synchronously using the thread-local accessors, but you _can_ use it as
a generic cred if you want to.

It is possible that we should just remove the whole RCU markings for
->cred entirely.  Only ->real_cred is really supposed to be accessed
through RCU, and the long-term cred copies that nfs uses might want to
explicitly re-enable RCU freeing if required, rather than have
get_current_cred() do it implicitly.

But this is a "minimal semantic changes" change for the immediate
problem.

Pull request_key improvements from David Howells:
 "These are all request_key()-related, including a fix and some improvements:

   - Fix the lack of a Link permission check on a key found by
     request_key(), thereby enabling request_key() to link keys that
     don't grant this permission to the target keyring (which must still
     grant Write permission).

     Note that the key must be in the caller's keyrings already to be
     found.

   - Invalidate used request_key authentication keys rather than
     revoking them, so that they get cleaned up immediately rather than
     hanging around till the expiry time is passed.

   - Move the RCU locks outwards from the keyring search functions so
     that a request_key_rcu() can be provided. This can be called in RCU
     mode, so it can't sleep and can't upcall - but it can be called
     from LOOKUP_RCU pathwalk mode.

   - Cache the latest positive result of request_key*() temporarily in
     task_struct so that filesystems that make a lot of request_key()
     calls during pathwalk can take advantage of it to avoid having to
     redo the searching. This requires CONFIG_KEYS_REQUEST_CACHE=y.

     It is assumed that the key just found is likely to be used multiple
     times in each step in an RCU pathwalk, and is likely to be reused
     for the next step too.

     Note that the cleanup of the cache is done on TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME,
     just before userspace resumes, and on exit"

David Howells 7743c48e54 keys: Cache result of request_key*() temporarily in task_struct
If a filesystem uses keys to hold authentication tokens, then it needs a
token for each VFS operation that might perform an authentication check -
either by passing it to the server, or using to perform a check based on
authentication data cached locally.

For open files this isn't a problem, since the key should be cached in the
file struct since it represents the subject performing operations on that
file descriptor.

During pathwalk, however, there isn't anywhere to cache the key, except
perhaps in the nameidata struct - but that isn't exposed to the
filesystems.  Further, a pathwalk can incur a lot of operations, calling
one or more of the following, for instance:

	->lookup()
	->permission()
	->d_revalidate()
	->d_automount()
	->get_acl()
	->getxattr()

on each dentry/inode it encounters - and each one may need to call
request_key().  And then, at the end of pathwalk, it will call the actual
operation:

	->mkdir()
	->mknod()
	->getattr()
	->open()
	...

which may need to go and get the token again.

However, it is very likely that all of the operations on a single
dentry/inode - and quite possibly a sequence of them - will all want to use
the same authentication token, which suggests that caching it would be a
good idea.

To this end:

 (1) Make it so that a positive result of request_key() and co. that didn't
     require upcalling to userspace is cached temporarily in task_struct.

 (2) The cache is 1 deep, so a new result displaces the old one.

 (3) The key is released by exit and by notify-resume.

 (4) The cache is cleared in a newly forked process.

Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds.  Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account

Joe Perches 52aa8536f8 kernel/cred.c: remove unnecessary kdebug atomic reads
Commit e0e817392b ("CRED: Add some configurable debugging [try ]")
added the kdebug mechanism to this file back in 2009.

The kdebug macro calls no_printk which always evaluates arguments.

Most of the kdebug uses have an unnecessary call of
	atomic_read(&cred->usage)

Make the kdebug macro do nothing by defining it with

Iulia Manda 2813893f8b kernel: conditionally support non-root users, groups and capabilities
There are a lot of embedded systems that run most or all of their
functionality in init, running as root:root.  For these systems,
supporting multiple users is not necessary.

This patch adds a new symbol, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes support for
non-root users, non-root groups, and capabilities optional.  It is enabled
under CONFIG_EXPERT menu.

When this symbol is not defined, UID and GID are zero in any possible case
and processes always have all capabilities.

The following syscalls are compiled out: setuid, setregid, setgid,
setreuid, setresuid, getresuid, setresgid, getresgid, setgroups,
getgroups, setfsuid, setfsgid, capget, capset.

Also, groups.c is compiled out completely.

In kernel/capability.c, capable function was moved in order to avoid
adding two ifdef blocks.

This change saves about 25 KB on a defconfig build.  The most minimal
kernels have total text sizes in the high hundreds of kB rather than
low MB.  (The 25k goes down a bit with allnoconfig, but not that much.

The kernel was booted in Qemu.  All the common functionalities work.
Adding users/groups is not possible, failing with -ENOSYS.

Bloat-o-meter output:
add/remove: 7/87 grow/shrink: 19/397 up/down: 1675/-26325 (-24650)

Eric W. Biederman aa6d054e5c userns: Add a more complete capability subset test to commit_creds
When unsharing a user namespace we reduce our credentials to just what
can be done in that user namespace.  This is a subset of the credentials
we previously had.  Teach commit_creds to recognize this is a subset
of the credentials we have had before and don't clear the dumpability flag.

This allows an unprivileged  program to do:
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER);
fd = open("/proc/self/uid_map", O_RDWR);

Where previously opening the uid_map writable would fail because
the the task had been made non-dumpable.

David Howells 3a50597de8 KEYS: Make the session and process keyrings per-thread
Make the session keyring per-thread rather than per-process, but still
inherited from the parent thread to solve a problem with PAM and gdm.

The problem is that join_session_keyring() will reject attempts to change the
session keyring of a multithreaded program but gdm is now multithreaded before
it gets to the point of starting PAM and running pam_keyinit to create the
session keyring.  See:

	https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49211

The reason that join_session_keyring() will only change the session keyring
under a single-threaded environment is that it's hard to alter the other
thread's credentials to effect the change in a multi-threaded program.  The
problems are such as:

 (1) How to prevent two threads both running join_session_keyring() from
     racing.

 (2) Another thread's credentials may not be modified directly by this process.

 (3) The number of threads is uncertain whilst we're not holding the
     appropriate spinlock, making preallocation slightly tricky.

 (4) We could use TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME and key_replace_session_keyring() to get
     another thread to replace its keyring, but that means preallocating for
     each thread.

A reasonable way around this is to make the session keyring per-thread rather
than per-process and just document that if you want a common session keyring,
you must get it before you spawn any threads - which is the current situation
anyway.

Whilst we're at it, we can the process keyring behave in the same way.  This
means we can clean up some of the ickyness in the creds code.

Basically, after this patch, the session, process and thread keyrings are about
inheritance rules only and not about sharing changes of keyring.

Linus Torvalds 644473e9c6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
  reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
  implementation.

  Highlights:
   - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
     code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.

   - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
     config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
     user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
     checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.

   - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
     user namespace before they are processed.  Removing the need to add
     an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
     uids remains the same.

   - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
     better than it is today.

   - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
     operationally with the user namespace enabled.

   - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
     billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
     enabled.  This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
     164ns per stat operation).

   - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
     Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
     anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
     entertaining failures in userspace.

   - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
     I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
     could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
     handle the case where setuid fails.

   - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
     we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid.  The LFS
     experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
     better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
     can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
     can't map.

   - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
     safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

  My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
  kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

Fix prepare_kernel_cred() to provide a new, separate thread_group_cred struct
otherwise when using request_key() ____call_usermodehelper() calls
umh_keys_init() with the new creds pointing to init_tgcred, which
umh_keys_init() then blithely alters.

The problem can be demonstrated by:

	# keyctl request2 user a debug:a @s
	249681132
	# grep req /proc/keys
	079906a5 I--Q--     1 perm 1f3f0000     0     0 keyring   _req.249681132: 1/4
	38ef1626 IR----     1 expd 0b010000     0     0 .request_ key:ee1d4ec pid:4371 ci:1

The keyring _req.XXXX should have gone away, but something (init_tgcred) is
pinning it.

That key actually requested can then be removed and a new one created:

	# keyctl unlink 249681132
	1 links removed
	[root@andromeda ~]# grep req /proc/keys
	116cecac IR----     1 expd 0b010000     0     0 .request_ key:eeb4911 pid:4379 ci:1
	36d1cbf8 I--Q--     1 perm 1f3f0000     0     0 keyring   _req.250300689: 1/4

which causes the old _req keyring to go away and a new one to take its place.

This is a consequence of the changes in:

	commit 879669961b

Vasiliy Kulikov 72fa59970f move RLIMIT_NPROC check from set_user() to do_execve_common()
The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC
check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and
similar functions.

Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed
number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on
rlimit only.  But the check created new security threat: many poorly
written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it
cannot fail if executed with root privileges.  So, the check is removed
in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to
buggy programs.

The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons
spawning user processes.  Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve().
The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in
setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues.

Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the
limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag.  With the change only
this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve()
behaviour is not changed.

Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still
exceeded at the moment of execve().  If the process was sleeping for
days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down
under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was
exceeded days ago would be unexpected.  If the limit is not exceeded
anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork().

The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit
was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one.

Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag).

v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

Serge E. Hallyn 3486740a4f userns: security: make capabilities relative to the user namespace
- Introduce ns_capable to test for a capability in a non-default
  user namespace.
- Teach cap_capable to handle capabilities in a non-default
  user namespace.

The motivation is to get to the unprivileged creation of new
namespaces.  It looks like this gets us 90% of the way there, with
only potential uid confusion issues left.

I still need to handle getting all caps after creation but otherwise I
think I have a good starter patch that achieves all of your goals.

Changelog:
	11/05/2010: [serge] add apparmor
	12/14/2010: [serge] fix capabilities to created user namespaces
	Without this, if user serge creates a user_ns, he won't have
	capabilities to the user_ns he created.  THis is because we
	were first checking whether his effective caps had the caps
	he needed and returning -EPERM if not, and THEN checking whether
	he was the creator.  Reverse those checks.
	12/16/2010: [serge] security_real_capable needs ns argument in !security case
	01/11/2011: [serge] add task_ns_capable helper
	01/11/2011: [serge] add nsown_capable() helper per Bastian Blank suggestion
	02/16/2011: [serge] fix a logic bug: the root user is always creator of
		    init_user_ns, but should not always have capabilities to
		    it!  Fix the check in cap_capable().
	02/21/2011: Add the required user_ns parameter to security_capable,
		    fixing a compile failure.
	02/23/2011: Convert some macros to functions as per akpm comments.  Some
		    couldn't be converted because we can't easily forward-declare
		    them (they are inline if !SECURITY, extern if SECURITY).  Add
		    a current_user_ns function so we can use it in capability.h
		    without #including cred.h.  Move all forward declarations
		    together to the top of the #ifdef __KERNEL__ section, and use
		    kernel-doc format.
	02/23/2011: Per dhowells, clean up comment in cap_capable().
	02/23/2011: Per akpm, remove unreachable 'return -EPERM' in cap_capable.

Tetsuo Handa fb2b2a1d37 CRED: Fix memory and refcount leaks upon security_prepare_creds() failure
In prepare_kernel_cred() since 2.6.29, put_cred(new) is called without
assigning new->usage when security_prepare_creds() returned an error.  As a
result, memory for new and refcount for new->{user,group_info,tgcred} are
leaked because put_cred(new) won't call __put_cred() unless old->usage == 1.

Fix these leaks by assigning new->usage (and new->subscribers which was added
in 2.6.32) before calling security_prepare_creds().

Tetsuo Handa 2edeaa34a6 CRED: Fix BUG() upon security_cred_alloc_blank() failure
In cred_alloc_blank() since 2.6.32, abort_creds(new) is called with
new->security == NULL and new->magic == 0 when security_cred_alloc_blank()
returns an error.  As a result, BUG() will be triggered if SELinux is enabled
or CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS=y.

If CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS=y, BUG() is called from __invalid_creds() because
cred->magic == 0.  Failing that, BUG() is called from selinux_cred_free()
because selinux_cred_free() is not expecting cred->security == NULL.  This does
not affect smack_cred_free(), tomoyo_cred_free() or apparmor_cred_free().

Fix these bugs by

(1) Set new->magic before calling security_cred_alloc_blank().

(2) Handle null cred->security in creds_are_invalid() and selinux_cred_free().
