Back in 2021 we already discussed removing deny_write_access() for
executables. Back then I was hesistant because I thought that this might
cause issues in userspace. But even back then I had started taking some
notes on what could potentially depend on this and I didn't come up with
a lot so I've changed my mind and I would like to try this.
Here are some of the notes that I took:
(1) The deny_write_access() mechanism is causing really pointless issues
such as [1]. If a thread in a thread-group opens a file writable,
then writes some stuff, then closing the file descriptor and then
calling execve() they can fail the execve() with ETXTBUSY because
another thread in the thread-group could have concurrently called
fork(). Multi-threaded libraries such as go suffer from this.
(2) There are userspace attacks that rely on overwriting the binary of a
running process. These attacks are _mitigated_ but _not at all
prevented_ from ocurring by the deny_write_access() mechanism.
I'll go over some details. The clearest example of such attacks was
the attack against runC in CVE-2019-5736 (cf. [3]).
An attack could compromise the runC host binary from inside a
_privileged_ runC container. The malicious binary could then be used
to take over the host.
(It is crucial to note that this attack is _not_ possible with
unprivileged containers. IOW, the setup here is already insecure.)
The attack can be made when attaching to a running container or when
starting a container running a specially crafted image. For example,
when runC attaches to a container the attacker can trick it into
executing itself.
This could be done by replacing the target binary inside the
container with a custom binary pointing back at the runC binary
itself. As an example, if the target binary was /bin/bash, this
could be replaced with an executable script specifying the
interpreter path #!/proc/self/exe.
As such when /bin/bash is executed inside the container, instead the
target of /proc/self/exe will be executed. That magic link will
point to the runc binary on the host. The attacker can then proceed
to write to the target of /proc/self/exe to try and overwrite the
runC binary on the host.
However, this will not succeed because of deny_write_access(). Now,
one might think that this would prevent the attack but it doesn't.
To overcome this, the attacker has multiple ways:
* Open a file descriptor to /proc/self/exe using the O_PATH flag and
then proceed to reopen the binary as O_WRONLY through
/proc/self/fd/<nr> and try to write to it in a busy loop from a
separate process. Ultimately it will succeed when the runC binary
exits. After this the runC binary is compromised and can be used
to attack other containers or the host itself.
* Use a malicious shared library annotating a function in there with
the constructor attribute making the malicious function run as an
initializor. The malicious library will then open /proc/self/exe
for creating a new entry under /proc/self/fd/<nr>. It'll then call
exec to a) force runC to exit and b) hand the file descriptor off
to a program that then reopens /proc/self/fd/<nr> for writing
(which is now possible because runC has exited) and overwriting
that binary.
To sum up: the deny_write_access() mechanism doesn't prevent such
attacks in insecure setups. It just makes them minimally harder.
That's all.
The only way back then to prevent this is to create a temporary copy
of the calling binary itself when it starts or attaches to
containers. So what I did back then for LXC (and Aleksa for runC)
was to create an anonymous, in-memory file using the memfd_create()
system call and to copy itself into the temporary in-memory file,
which is then sealed to prevent further modifications. This sealed,
in-memory file copy is then executed instead of the original on-disk
binary.
Any compromising write operations from a privileged container to the
host binary will then write to the temporary in-memory binary and
not to the host binary on-disk, preserving the integrity of the host
binary. Also as the temporary, in-memory binary is sealed, writes to
this will also fail.
The point is that deny_write_access() is uselss to prevent these
attacks.
(3) Denying write access to an inode because it's currently used in an
exec path could easily be done on an LSM level. It might need an
additional hook but that should be about it.
(4) The MAP_DENYWRITE flag for mmap() has been deprecated a long time
ago so while we do protect the main executable the bigger portion of
the things you'd think need protecting such as the shared libraries
aren't. IOW, we let anyone happily overwrite shared libraries.
(5) We removed all remaining uses of VM_DENYWRITE in [2]. That means:
(5.1) We removed the legacy uselib() protection for preventing
overwriting of shared libraries. Nobody cared in 3 years.
(5.2) We allow write access to the elf interpreter after exec
completed treating it on a par with shared libraries.
Yes, someone in userspace could potentially be relying on this. It's not
completely out of the realm of possibility but let's find out if that's
actually the case and not guess.

Static FDPIC executable may get an executable stack even when it has
non-executable GNU_STACK segment. This happens when STACK segment has rw
permissions, but does not specify stack size. In that case FDPIC loader
uses permissions of the interpreter's stack, and for static executables
with no interpreter it results in choosing the arch-default permissions
for the stack.
Fix that by using the interpreter's properties only when the interpreter
is actually used.

Merge tag 'execve-v6.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux
Pull execve updates from Kees Cook:
- Support non-BSS ELF segments with zero filesz
Eric Biederman and I refactored ELF segment loading to handle the
case where a segment has a smaller filesz than memsz. Traditionally
linkers only did this for .bss and it was always the last segment. As
a result, the kernel only handled this case when it was the last
segment. We've had two recent cases where linkers were trying to use
these kinds of segments for other reasons, and the were in the middle
of the segment list. There was no good reason for the kernel not to
support this, and the refactor actually ends up making things more
readable too.
- Enable namespaced binfmt_misc
Christian Brauner has made it possible to use binfmt_misc with mount
namespaces. This means some traditionally root-only interfaces (for
adding/removing formats) are now more exposed (but believed to be
safe).
- Remove struct tag 'dynamic' from ELF UAPI
Alejandro Colomar noticed that the ELF UAPI has been polluting the
struct namespace with an unused and overly generic tag named
"dynamic" for no discernible reason for many many years. After
double-checking various distro source repositories, it has been
removed.

The elf-fdpic loader hard sets the process personality to either
PER_LINUX_FDPIC for true elf-fdpic binaries or to PER_LINUX for normal ELF
binaries (in this case they would be constant displacement compiled with
-pie for example). The problem with that is that it will lose any other
bits that may be in the ELF header personality (such as the "bug
emulation" bits).
On the ARM architecture the ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT flag is used to signify a
normal 32bit binary - as opposed to a legacy 26bit address binary. This
matters since start_thread() will set the ARM CPSR register as required
based on this flag. If the elf-fdpic loader loses this bit the process
will be mis-configured and crash out pretty quickly.
Modify elf-fdpic loader personality setting so that it preserves the upper
three bytes by using the SET_PERSONALITY macro to set it. This macro in
the generic case sets PER_LINUX and preserves the upper bytes.
Architectures can override this for their specific use case, and ARM does
exactly this.
The problem shows up quite easily running under qemu using the ARM
architecture, but not necessarily on all types of real ARM hardware. If
the underlying ARM processor does not support the legacy 26-bit addressing
mode then everything will work as expected.

The binfmt_flat_fdpic code has a number of 32-bit specific data
structures associated with it. Extend it to be able to support and
be used on 64-bit systems as well.
The new code defines a number of key 64-bit variants of the core
elf-fdpic data structures - along side the existing 32-bit sized ones.
A common set of generic named structures are defined to be either
the 32-bit or 64-bit ones as required at compile time. This is a
similar technique to that used in the ELF binfmt loader.
For example:
elf_fdpic_loadseg is either elf32_fdpic_loadseg or elf64_fdpic_loadseg
elf_fdpic_loadmap is either elf32_fdpic_loadmap or elf64_fdpic_loadmap
the choice based on ELFCLASS32 or ELFCLASS64.

Today when a signal is delivered with a handler of SIG_DFL whose
default behavior is to generate a core dump not only that process but
every process that shares the mm is killed.
In the case of vfork this looks like a real world problem. Consider
the following well defined sequence.
if (vfork() == 0) {
execve(...);
_exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
If a signal that generates a core dump is received after vfork but
before the execve changes the mm the process that called vfork will
also be killed (as the mm is shared).
Similarly if the execve fails after the point of no return the kernel
delivers SIGSEGV which will kill both the exec'ing process and because
the mm is shared the process that called vfork as well.
As far as I can tell this behavior is a violation of people's
reasonable expectations, POSIX, and is unnecessarily fragile when the
system is low on memory.
Solve this by making a userspace visible change to only kill a single
process/thread group. This is possible because Jann Horn recently
modified[1] the coredump code so that the mm can safely be modified
while the coredump is happening. With LinuxThreads long gone I don't
expect anyone to have a notice this behavior change in practice.
To accomplish this move the core_state pointer from mm_struct to
signal_struct, which allows different thread groups to coredump
simultatenously.
In zap_threads remove the work to kill anything except for the current
thread group.

At exec time when we mmap the new executable via MAP_DENYWRITE we have it
opened via do_open_execat() and already deny_write_access()'ed the file
successfully. Once exec completes, we allow_write_acces(); however,
we set mm->exe_file in begin_new_exec() via set_mm_exe_file() and
also deny_write_access() as long as mm->exe_file remains set. We'll
effectively deny write access to our executable via mm->exe_file
until mm->exe_file is changed -- when the process is removed, on new
exec, or via sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE).
Let's remove all usage of MAP_DENYWRITE, it's no longer necessary for
mm->exe_file.
In case of an elf interpreter, we'll now only deny write access to the file
during exec. This is somewhat okay, because the interpreter behaves
(and sometime is) a shared library; all shared libraries, especially the
ones loaded directly in user space like via dlopen() won't ever be mapped
via MAP_DENYWRITE, because we ignore that from user space completely;
these shared libraries can always be modified while mapped and executed.
Let's only special-case the main executable, denying write access while
being executed by a process. This can be considered a minor user space
visible change.
While this is a cleanup, it also fixes part of a problem reported with
VM_DENYWRITE on overlayfs, as VM_DENYWRITE is effectively unused with
this patch and will be removed next:
"Overlayfs did not honor positive i_writecount on realfile for
VM_DENYWRITE mappings." [1]

the incestous relationship between binfmt_elf.c and compat_binfmt_elf.c we
need the same shape change done to native struct elf_prstatus, gathering the
fields prior to pr_reg into a new structure (struct elf_prstatus_common).
Fortunately, offset of pr_reg is always a multiple of 16 with no padding
right before it, so it's possible to turn all the stuff prior to it into

VMA, if we have one) while protected by the mmap_lock, and then use that
snapshot instead of walking the VMA list without locking.
An alternative approach would be to keep the mmap_lock held across the
entire core dumping operation; however, keeping the mmap_lock locked while
we may be blocked for an unbounded amount of time (e.g. because we're
dumping to a FUSE filesystem or so) isn't really optimal; the mmap_lock
blocks things like the ->release handler of userfaultfd, and we don't
really want critical system daemons to grind to a halt just because
someone "gifted" them SCM_RIGHTS to an eternally-locked userfaultfd, or
something like that.
Since both the normal ELF code and the FDPIC ELF code need this
functionality (and if any other binfmt wants to add coredump support in
the future, they'd probably need it, too), implement this with a common
helper in fs/coredump.c.
A downside of this approach is that we now need a bigger amount of kernel
memory per userspace VMA in the normal ELF case, and that we need O(n)
kernel memory in the FDPIC ELF case at all; but 40 bytes per VMA shouldn't
be terribly bad.
There currently is a data race between stack expansion and anything that
reads ->vm_start or ->vm_end under the mmap_lock held in read mode; to
mitigate that for core dumping, take the mmap_lock in write mode when
taking a snapshot of the VMA hierarchy. (If we only took the mmap_lock in
read mode, we could end up with a corrupted core dump if someone does
get_user_pages_remote() concurrently. Not really a major problem, but
taking the mmap_lock either way works here, so we might as well avoid the
issue.) (This doesn't do anything about the existing data races with stack
expansion in other mm code.)

At the moment, the binfmt_elf and binfmt_elf_fdpic code have slightly
different code to figure out which VMAs should be dumped, and if so,
whether the dump should contain the entire VMA or just its first page.
Eliminate duplicate code by reworking the binfmt_elf version into a
generic core dumping helper in coredump.c.
As part of that, change the heuristic for detecting executable/library
header pages to check whether the inode is executable instead of looking
at the file mode.
This is less problematic in terms of locking because it lets us avoid
get_user() under the mmap_sem. (And arguably it looks nicer and makes
more sense in generic code.)
Adjust a little bit based on the binfmt_elf_fdpic version: ->anon_vma is
only meaningful under CONFIG_MMU, otherwise we have to assume that the VMA
has been written to.

Patch series "Fix ELF / FDPIC ELF core dumping, and use mmap_lock properly in there", v5.
At the moment, we have that rather ugly mmget_still_valid() helper to work
around <https://crbug.com/project-zero/1790>: ELF core dumping doesn't
take the mmap_sem while traversing the task's VMAs, and if anything (like
userfaultfd) then remotely messes with the VMA tree, fireworks ensue. So
at the moment we use mmget_still_valid() to bail out in any writers that
might be operating on a remote mm's VMAs.
With this series, I'm trying to get rid of the need for that as cleanly as
possible. ("cleanly" meaning "avoid holding the mmap_lock across
unbounded sleeps".)
Patches 1, 2, 3 and 4 are relatively unrelated cleanups in the core
dumping code.
Patches 5 and 6 implement the main change: Instead of repeatedly accessing
the VMA list with sleeps in between, we snapshot it at the start with
proper locking, and then later we just use our copy of the VMA list. This
ensures that the kernel won't crash, that VMA metadata in the coredump is
consistent even in the presence of concurrent modifications, and that any
virtual addresses that aren't being concurrently modified have their
contents show up in the core dump properly.
The disadvantage of this approach is that we need a bit more memory during
core dumping for storing metadata about all VMAs.
At the end of the series, patch 7 removes the old workaround for this
issue (mmget_still_valid()).
I have tested:
- Creating a simple core dump on X86-64 still works.
- The created coredump on X86-64 opens in GDB and looks plausible.
- X86-64 core dumps contain the first page for executable mappings at
offset 0, and don't contain the first page for non-executable file
mappings or executable mappings at offset !=0.
- NOMMU 32-bit ARM can still generate plausible-looking core dumps
through the FDPIC implementation. (I can't test this with GDB because
GDB is missing some structure definition for nommu ARM, but I've
poked around in the hexdump and it looked decent.)
This patch (of 7):
dump_emit() is for kernel pointers, and VMAs describe userspace memory.
Let's be tidy here and avoid accessing userspace pointers under KERNEL_DS,
even if it probably doesn't matter much on !MMU systems - especially given
that it looks like we can just use the same get_dump_page() as on MMU if
we move it out of the CONFIG_MMU block.
One small change we have to make in get_dump_page() is to use
__get_user_pages_locked() instead of __get_user_pages(), since the latter
doesn't exist on nommu. On mmu builds, __get_user_pages_locked() will
just call __get_user_pages() for us.

Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of <asm/pgalloc.h>"
Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and
pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table. These patches add
generic versions of these functions in <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> and enable
use of the generic functions where appropriate.
In addition, functions declared and defined in <asm/pgalloc.h> headers are
used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no
actual reason to have the <asm/pgalloc.h> included all over the place.
The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of
<asm/pgalloc.h>
In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving
pXd_alloc_track() definitions to <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> would require
unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so
I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local
to mm/.
This patch (of 8):
In most cases <asm/pgalloc.h> header is required only for allocations of
page table memory. Most of the .c files that include that header do not
use symbols declared in <asm/pgalloc.h> and do not require that header.
As for the other header files that used to include <asm/pgalloc.h>, it is
possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols
from <asm/pgalloc.h> and drop the include from the header file.
The process was somewhat automated using
sed -i -E '/[<"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \
$(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \
$(git grep -E -l '[<"]asm/pgalloc\.h'))
where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

Most of the support for passing the file descriptor of an executable
to an interpreter already lives in the generic code and in binfmt_elf.
Rework the fields in binfmt_elf that deal with executable file
descriptor passing to make executable file descriptor passing a first
class concept.
Move the fd_install from binfmt_misc into begin_new_exec after the new
creds have been installed. This means that accessing the file through
/proc/<pid>/fd/N is able to see the creds for the new executable
before allowing access to the new executables files.
Performing the install of the executables file descriptor after
the point of no return also means that nothing special needs to
be done on error. The exiting of the process will close all
of it's open files.
Move the would_dump from binfmt_misc into begin_new_exec right
after would_dump is called on the bprm->file. This makes it
obvious this case exists and that no nesting of bprm->file is
currently supported.
In binfmt_misc the movement of fd_install into generic code means
that it's special error exit path is no longer needed.

We store elapsed time for a crashed process in struct elf_prstatus using
'timeval' structures. Once glibc starts using 64-bit time_t, this becomes
incompatible with the kernel's idea of timeval since the structure layout
no longer matches on 32-bit architectures.
This changes the definition of the elf_prstatus structure to use
__kernel_old_timeval instead, which is hardcoded to the currently used
binary layout. There is no risk of overflow in y2038 though, because
the time values are all relative times, and can store up to 68 years
of process elapsed time.
There is a risk of applications breaking at build time when they
use the new kernel headers and expect the type to be exactly 'timeval'
rather than a structure that has the same fields as before. Those
applications have to be modified to deal with 64-bit time_t anyway.
