mainlining shenanigans
f1ce3986ba
A failing usercopy of the slot uid will lead to a stale entry in the file descriptor table as put_unused_fd() won't release it. This enables userland to refer to a dangling 'file' object through that still valid file descriptor, leading to all kinds of use-after-free exploitation scenarios. Exchanging put_unused_fd() for close_fd(), ksys_close() or alike won't solve the underlying issue, as the file descriptor might have been replaced in the meantime, e.g. via userland calling close() on it (leading to a NULL pointer dereference in the error handling code as 'fget(enclave_fd)' will return a NULL pointer) or by dup2()'ing a completely different file object to that very file descriptor, leading to the same situation: a dangling file descriptor pointing to a freed object -- just in this case to a file object of user's choosing. Generally speaking, after the call to fd_install() the file descriptor is live and userland is free to do whatever with it. We cannot rely on it to still refer to our enclave object afterwards. In fact, by abusing userfaultfd() userland can hit the condition without any racing and abuse the error handling in the nitro code as it pleases. To fix the above issues, defer the call to fd_install() until all possible errors are handled. In this case it's just the usercopy, so do it directly in ne_create_vm_ioctl() itself.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
