Brown paperbag time: fetching ->i_uid/->i_mode really should've been
done from nd->inode. I even suggested that, but the reason for that has
slipped through the cracks and I went for dir->d_inode instead - made
for more "obvious" patch.Analysis:
- at the entry into do_last() and all the way to step_into(): dir (aka
nd->path.dentry) is known not to have been freed; so's nd->inode and
it's equal to dir->d_inode unless we are already doomed to -ECHILD.
inode of the file to get opened is not known.- after step_into(): inode of the file to get opened is known; dir
might be pointing to freed memory/be negative/etc.- at the call of may_create_in_sticky(): guaranteed to be out of RCU
mode; inode of the file to get opened is known and pinned; dir might
be garbage.The last was the reason for the original patch. Except that at the
do_last() entry we can be in RCU mode and it is possible that
nd->path.dentry->d_inode has already changed under us.In that case we are going to fail with -ECHILD, but we need to be
careful; nd->inode is pointing to valid struct inode and it's the same
as nd->path.dentry->d_inode in "won't fail with -ECHILD" case, so we
should use that.Reported-by: "Rantala, Tommi T. (Nokia - FI/Espoo)"

Pull openat2 support from Al Viro:
"This is the openat2() series from Aleksa Sarai.I'm afraid that the rest of namei stuff will have to wait - it got
zero review the last time I'd posted #work.namei, and there had been a
leak in the posted series I'd caught only last weekend. I was going to
repost it on Monday, but the window opened and the odds of getting any
review during that... Oh, well.Anyway, openat2 part should be ready; that _did_ get sane amount of
review and public testing, so here it comes"From Aleksa's description of the series:
"For a very long time, extending openat(2) with new features has been
incredibly frustrating. This stems from the fact that openat(2) is
possibly the most famous counter-example to the mantra "don't silently
accept garbage from userspace" -- it doesn't check whether unknown
flags are present[1].This means that (generally) the addition of new flags to openat(2) has
been fraught with backwards-compatibility issues (O_TMPFILE has to be
defined as __O_TMPFILE|O_DIRECTORY|[O_RDWR or O_WRONLY] to ensure old
kernels gave errors, since it's insecure to silently ignore the
flag[2]). All new security-related flags therefore have a tough road
to being added to openat(2).Furthermore, the need for some sort of control over VFS's path
resolution (to avoid malicious paths resulting in inadvertent
breakouts) has been a very long-standing desire of many userspace
applications.This patchset is a revival of Al Viro's old AT_NO_JUMPS[3] patchset
(which was a variant of David Drysdale's O_BENEATH patchset[4] which
was a spin-off of the Capsicum project[5]) with a few additions and
changes made based on the previous discussion within [6] as well as
others I felt were useful.In line with the conclusions of the original discussion of
AT_NO_JUMPS, the flag has been split up into separate flags. However,
instead of being an openat(2) flag it is provided through a new
syscall openat2(2) which provides several other improvements to the
openat(2) interface (see the patch description for more details). The
following new LOOKUP_* flags are added:LOOKUP_NO_XDEV:
Blocks all mountpoint crossings (upwards, downwards, or through
absolute links). Absolute pathnames alone in openat(2) do not
trigger this. Magic-link traversal which implies a vfsmount jump is
also blocked (though magic-link jumps on the same vfsmount are
permitted).LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS:
Blocks resolution through /proc/$pid/fd-style links. This is done
by blocking the usage of nd_jump_link() during resolution in a
filesystem. The term "magic-links" is used to match with the only
reference to these links in Documentation/, but I'm happy to change
the name.It should be noted that this is different to the scope of
~LOOKUP_FOLLOW in that it applies to all path components. However,
you can do openat2(NO_FOLLOW|NO_MAGICLINKS) on a magic-link and it
will *not* fail (assuming that no parent component was a
magic-link), and you will have an fd for the magic-link.In order to correctly detect magic-links, the introduction of a new
LOOKUP_MAGICLINK_JUMPED state flag was required.LOOKUP_BENEATH:
Disallows escapes to outside the starting dirfd's
tree, using techniques such as ".." or absolute links. Absolute
paths in openat(2) are also disallowed.Conceptually this flag is to ensure you "stay below" a certain
point in the filesystem tree -- but this requires some additional
to protect against various races that would allow escape using
"..".Currently LOOKUP_BENEATH implies LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS, because it
can trivially beam you around the filesystem (breaking the
protection). In future, there might be similar safety checks done
as in LOOKUP_IN_ROOT, but that requires more discussion.In addition, two new flags are added that expand on the above ideas:
LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS:
Does what it says on the tin. No symlink resolution is allowed at
all, including magic-links. Just as with LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS this
can still be used with NOFOLLOW to open an fd for the symlink as
long as no parent path had a symlink component.LOOKUP_IN_ROOT:
This is an extension of LOOKUP_BENEATH that, rather than blocking
attempts to move past the root, forces all such movements to be
scoped to the starting point. This provides chroot(2)-like
protection but without the cost of a chroot(2) for each filesystem
operation, as well as being safe against race attacks that
chroot(2) is not.If a race is detected (as with LOOKUP_BENEATH) then an error is
generated, and similar to LOOKUP_BENEATH it is not permitted to
cross magic-links with LOOKUP_IN_ROOT.The primary need for this is from container runtimes, which
currently need to do symlink scoping in userspace[7] when opening
paths in a potentially malicious container.There is a long list of CVEs that could have bene mitigated by
having RESOLVE_THIS_ROOT (such as CVE-2017-1002101,
CVE-2017-1002102, CVE-2018-15664, and CVE-2019-5736, just to name a
few).In order to make all of the above more usable, I'm working on
libpathrs[8] which is a C-friendly library for safe path resolution.
It features a userspace-emulated backend if the kernel doesn't support
openat2(2). Hopefully we can get userspace to switch to using it, and
thus get openat2(2) support for free once it's ready.Future work would include implementing things like
RESOLVE_NO_AUTOMOUNT and possibly a RESOLVE_NO_REMOTE (to allow
programs to be sure they don't hit DoSes though stale NFS handles)"* 'work.openat2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:

... and get rid of a bunch of bugs in it. Background:
the reason for path_mountpoint() is that umount() really doesn't
want attempts to revalidate the root of what it's trying to umount.
The thing we want to avoid actually happen from complete_walk();
solution was to do something parallel to normal path_lookupat()
and it both went overboard and got the boilerplate subtly
(and not so subtly) wrong.A better solution is to do pretty much what the normal path_lookupat()
does, but instead of complete_walk() do unlazy_walk(). All it takes
to avoid that ->d_weak_revalidate() call... mountpoint_last() goes
away, along with everything it got wrong, and so does the magic around
LOOKUP_NO_REVAL.Another source of bugs is that when we traverse mounts at the final
location (and we need to do that - umount . expects to get whatever's
overmounting ., if any, out of the lookup) we really ought to take
care of ->d_manage() - as it is, manual umount of autofs automount
in progress can lead to unpleasant surprises for the daemon. Easily
solved by using handle_lookup_down() instead of follow_mount().Tested-by: Ian Kent

Allow LOOKUP_BENEATH and LOOKUP_IN_ROOT to safely permit ".." resolution
(in the case of LOOKUP_BENEATH the resolution will still fail if ".."
resolution would resolve a path outside of the root -- while
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT will chroot(2)-style scope it). Magic-link jumps are
still disallowed entirely[*].As Jann explains[1,2], the need for this patch (and the original no-".."
restriction) is explained by observing there is a fairly easy-to-exploit
race condition with chroot(2) (and thus by extension LOOKUP_IN_ROOT and
LOOKUP_BENEATH if ".." is allowed) where a rename(2) of a path can be
used to "skip over" nd->root and thus escape to the filesystem above
nd->root.thread1 [attacker]:
for (;;)
renameat2(AT_FDCWD, "/a/b/c", AT_FDCWD, "/a/d", RENAME_EXCHANGE);
thread2 [victim]:
for (;;)
openat2(dirb, "b/c/../../etc/shadow",
{ .flags = O_PATH, .resolve = RESOLVE_IN_ROOT } );With fairly significant regularity, thread2 will resolve to
"/etc/shadow" rather than "/a/b/etc/shadow". There is also a similar
(though somewhat more privileged) attack using MS_MOVE.With this patch, such cases will be detected *during* ".." resolution
and will return -EAGAIN for userspace to decide to either retry or abort
the lookup. It should be noted that ".." is the weak point of chroot(2)
-- walking *into* a subdirectory tautologically cannot result in you
walking *outside* nd->root (except through a bind-mount or magic-link).
There is also no other way for a directory's parent to change (which is
the primary worry with ".." resolution here) other than a rename or
MS_MOVE.The primary reason for deferring to userspace with -EAGAIN is that an
in-kernel retry loop (or doing a path_is_under() check after re-taking
the relevant seqlocks) can become unreasonably expensive on machines
with lots of VFS activity (nfsd can cause lots of rename_lock updates).
Thus it should be up to userspace how many times they wish to retry the
lookup -- the selftests for this attack indicate that there is a ~35%
chance of the lookup succeeding on the first try even with an attacker
thrashing rename_lock.A variant of the above attack is included in the selftests for
openat2(2) later in this patch series. I've run this test on several
machines for several days and no instances of a breakout were detected.
While this is not concrete proof that this is safe, when combined with
the above argument it should lend some trustworthiness to this
construction.[*] It may be acceptable in the future to do a path_is_under() check for
magic-links after they are resolved. However this seems unlikely to
be a feature that people *really* need -- it can be added later if
it turns out a lot of people want it.[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAG48ez1jzNvxB+bfOBnERFGp=oMM0vHWuLD6EULmne3R6xa53w@mail.gmail.com/

/* Background. */
Container runtimes or other administrative management processes will
often interact with root filesystems while in the host mount namespace,
because the cost of doing a chroot(2) on every operation is too
prohibitive (especially in Go, which cannot safely use vfork). However,
a malicious program can trick the management process into doing
operations on files outside of the root filesystem through careful
crafting of symlinks.Most programs that need this feature have attempted to make this process
safe, by doing all of the path resolution in userspace (with symlinks
being scoped to the root of the malicious root filesystem).
Unfortunately, this method is prone to foot-guns and usually such
implementations have subtle security bugs.Thus, what userspace needs is a way to resolve a path as though it were
in a chroot(2) -- with all absolute symlinks being resolved relative to
the dirfd root (and ".." components being stuck under the dirfd root).
It is much simpler and more straight-forward to provide this
functionality in-kernel (because it can be done far more cheaply and
correctly).More classical applications that also have this problem (which have
their own potentially buggy userspace path sanitisation code) include
web servers, archive extraction tools, network file servers, and so on./* Userspace API. */
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT will be exposed to userspace through openat2(2)./* Semantics. */
Unlike most other LOOKUP flags (most notably LOOKUP_FOLLOW),
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT applies to all components of the path.With LOOKUP_IN_ROOT, any path component which attempts to cross the
starting point of the pathname lookup (the dirfd passed to openat) will
remain at the starting point. Thus, all absolute paths and symlinks will
be scoped within the starting point.There is a slight change in behaviour regarding pathnames -- if the
pathname is absolute then the dirfd is still used as the root of
resolution of LOOKUP_IN_ROOT is specified (this is to avoid obvious
foot-guns, at the cost of a minor API inconsistency).As with LOOKUP_BENEATH, Jann's security concern about ".."[1] applies to
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT -- therefore ".." resolution is blocked. This restriction
will be lifted in a future patch, but requires more work to ensure that
permitting ".." is done safely.Magic-link jumps are also blocked, because they can beam the path lookup
across the starting point. It would be possible to detect and block
only the "bad" crossings with path_is_under() checks, but it's unclear
whether it makes sense to permit magic-links at all. However, userspace
is recommended to pass LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS if they want to ensure that
magic-link crossing is entirely disabled./* Testing. */

There are many circumstances when userspace wants to resolve a path and
ensure that it doesn't go outside of a particular root directory during

other security-conscious userspace programs. FreeBSD spun out O_BENEATH
from their Capsicum project[1,2], so it also seems reasonable to
implement similar functionality for Linux.This is part of a refresh of Al's AT_NO_JUMPS patchset[3] (which was a

/* Background. */
There has always been a special class of symlink-like objects in procfs
(and a few other pseudo-filesystems) which allow for non-lexical
resolution of paths using nd_jump_link(). These "magic-links" do not
follow traditional mount namespace boundaries, and have been used
consistently in container escape attacks because they can be used to
trick unsuspecting privileged processes into resolving unexpected paths.It is also non-trivial for userspace to unambiguously avoid resolving
magic-links, because they do not have a reliable indication that they
are a magic-link (in order to verify them you'd have to manually open
the path given by readlink(2) and then verify that the two file
descriptors reference the same underlying file, which is plagued with
possible race conditions or supplementary attack scenarios).It would therefore be very helpful for userspace to be able to avoid
these symlinks easily, thus hopefully removing a tool from attackers'
toolboxes.This is part of a refresh of Al's AT_NO_JUMPS patchset[1] (which was a

Userspace cannot easily resolve a path without resolving symlinks, and
would have to manually resolve each path component with O_PATH and
O_NOFOLLOW. This is clearly inefficient, and can be fairly easy to screw
up (resulting in possible security bugs). Linus has mentioned that Git
has a particular need for this kind of flag[1]. It also resolves a
fairly long-standing perceived deficiency in O_NOFOLLOw -- that it only
blocks the opening of trailing symlinks.This is part of a refresh of Al's AT_NO_JUMPS patchset[2] (which was a

Pull vfs d_inode/d_flags memory ordering fixes from Al Viro:
"Fallout from tree-wide audit for ->d_inode/->d_flags barriers use.
Basically, the problem is that negative pinned dentries require
careful treatment - unless ->d_lock is locked or parent is held at
least shared, another thread can make them positive right under us.Most of the uses turned out to be safe - the main surprises as far as
filesystems are concerned were- race in dget_parent() fastpath, that might end up with the caller
observing the returned dentry _negative_, due to insufficient
barriers. It is positive in memory, but we could end up seeing the
wrong value of ->d_inode in CPU cache. Fixed.- manual checks that result of lookup_one_len_unlocked() is positive
(and rejection of negatives). Again, insufficient barriers (we
might end up with inconsistent observed values of ->d_inode and
->d_flags). Fixed by switching to a new primitive that does the
checks itself and returns ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) instead of a negative
dentry. That way we get rid of boilerplate converting negatives
into ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) in the callers and have a single place to
deal with the barrier-related mess - inside fs/namei.c rather than
in every caller out there.The guts of pathname resolution *do* need to be careful - the race
found by Ritesh is real, as well as several similar races.
Fortunately, it turns out that we can take care of that with fairly
local changes in there.The tree-wide audit had not been fun, and I hate the idea of repeating
it. I think the right approach would be to annotate the places where
we are _not_ guaranteed ->d_inode/->d_flags stability and have sparse
catch regressions. But I'm still not sure what would be the least
invasive way of doing that and it's clearly the next cycle fodder"* 'fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:

Pinned negative dentries can, generally, be made positive
by another thread. Conditions that prevent that are
* ->d_lock on dentry in question
* parent directory held at least shared
* nobody else could have observed the address of dentry
Most of the places working with those fall into one of those
categories; however, d_lookup() and friends need to be used
with some care. Fortunately, there's not a lot of call sites,
and with few exceptions all of those fall under one of the
cases above.Exceptions are all in fs/namei.c - in lookup_fast(), lookup_dcache()
and mountpoint_last(). Another one is lookup_slow() - there
dcache lookup is done with parent held shared, but the result
is used after we'd drop the lock. The same happens in do_last() -
the lookup (in lookup_one()) is done with parent locked, but
result is used after unlocking.lookup_fast(), do_last() and mountpoint_last() flat-out reject
negatives.Most of lookup_dcache() calls are made with parent locked at least
shared; the only exception is lookup_one_len_unlocked(). It might
return pinned negative, needs serious care from callers. Fortunately,
almost nobody calls it directly anymore; all but two callers have
converted to lookup_positive_unlocked(), which rejects negatives.lookup_slow() is called by the same lookup_one_len_unlocked() (see
above), mountpoint_last() and walk_component(). In those two negatives
are rejected.In other words, there is a small set of places where we need to
check carefully if a pinned potentially negative dentry is, in
fact, positive. After that check we want to be sure that both
->d_inode and type bits in ->d_flags are stable and observed.
The set consists of follow_managed() (where the rejection happens
for lookup_fast(), walk_component() and do_last()), last_mountpoint()
and lookup_positive_unlocked().Solution:
1) transition from negative to positive (in __d_set_inode_and_type())
stores ->d_inode, then uses smp_store_release() to set ->d_flags type bits.
2) aforementioned 3 places in fs/namei.c fetch ->d_flags with
smp_load_acquire() and bugger off if it type bits say "negative".
That way anyone downstream of those checks has dentry know positive pinned,
with ->d_inode and type bits of ->d_flags stable and observed.I considered splitting off d_lookup_positive(), so that the checks could
be done right there, under ->d_lock. However, that leads to massive
duplication of rather subtle code in fs/namei.c and fs/dcache.c. It's
worse than it might seem, thanks to autofs ->d_manage() getting involved ;-/
No matter what, autofs_d_manage()/autofs_d_automount() must live with
the possibility of pinned negative dentry passed their way, becoming
positive under them - that's the intended behaviour when lookup comes
in the middle of automount in progress, so we can't keep them out of
the area that has to deal with those, more's the pity...Reported-by: Ritesh Harjani
Signed-off-by: Al Viro -
Most of the callers of lookup_one_len_unlocked() treat negatives are
ERR_PTR(-ENOENT). Provide a helper that would do just that. Note
that a pinned positive dentry remains positive - it's ->d_inode is
stable, etc.; a pinned _negative_ dentry can become positive at any
point as long as you are not holding its parent at least shared.
So using lookup_one_len_unlocked() needs to be careful;
lookup_positive_unlocked() is safer and that's what the callers
end up open-coding anyway.Signed-off-by: Al Viro
-
There are 4 callers; two proceed to check if result is positive and
fail with ENOENT if it isn't; one (in handle_lookup_down()) is
guaranteed to yield positive and one (in lookup_fast()) is _preceded_
by positivity check.However, follow_managed() on a negative dentry is a (fairly cheap)
no-op on anything other than autofs. And negative autofs dentries
are never hashed, so lookup_fast() is not going to run into one
of those. Moreover, successful follow_managed() on a _positive_
dentry never yields a negative one (and we significantly rely upon
that in callers of lookup_fast()).In other words, we can easily transpose the positivity check and
the call of follow_managed() in lookup_fast(). And that allows
to fold the positivity check *into* follow_managed(), simplifying
life for the code downstream of its calls.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

The rules for nd->root are messy:
* if we have LOOKUP_ROOT, it doesn't contribute to refcounts
* if we have LOOKUP_RCU, it doesn't contribute to refcounts
* if nd->root.mnt is NULL, it doesn't contribute to refcounts
* otherwise it does contributeterminate_walk() needs to drop the references if they are contributing.
So everything else should be careful not to confuse it, leading to
rather convoluted code.It's easier to keep track of whether we'd grabbed the reference(s)
explicitly. Use a new flag for that. Don't bother with zeroing
nd->root.mnt on unlazy failures and in terminate_walk - it's not
needed anymore (terminate_walk() won't care and the next path_init()
will zero nd->root in !LOOKUP_ROOT case anyway).Resulting rules for nd->root refcounts are much simpler: they are
contributing iff LOOKUP_ROOT_GRABBED is set in nd->flags.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Because the new API passes in key,value parameters, match_token() cannot be
used with it. Instead, provide three new helpers to aid with parsing:(1) fs_parse(). This takes a parameter and a simple static description of
all the parameters and maps the key name to an ID. It returns 1 on a
match, 0 on no match if unknowns should be ignored and some other
negative error code on a parse error.The parameter description includes a list of key names to IDs, desired
parameter types and a list of enumeration name -> ID mappings.[!] Note that for the moment I've required that the key->ID mapping
array is expected to be sorted and unterminated. The size of the
array is noted in the fsconfig_parser struct. This allows me to use
bsearch(), but I'm not sure any performance gain is worth the hassle
of requiring people to keep the array sorted.The parameter type array is sized according to the number of parameter
IDs and is indexed directly. The optional enum mapping array is an
unterminated, unsorted list and the size goes into the fsconfig_parser
struct.The function can do some additional things:
(a) If it's not ambiguous and no value is given, the prefix "no" on
a key name is permitted to indicate that the parameter should
be considered negatory.(b) If the desired type is a single simple integer, it will perform
an appropriate conversion and store the result in a union in
the parse result.(c) If the desired type is an enumeration, {key ID, name} will be
looked up in the enumeration list and the matching value will
be stored in the parse result union.(d) Optionally generate an error if the key is unrecognised.
This is called something like:
enum rdt_param {
Opt_cdp,
Opt_cdpl2,
Opt_mba_mpbs,
nr__rdt_params
};const struct fs_parameter_spec rdt_param_specs[nr__rdt_params] = {
[Opt_cdp] = { fs_param_is_bool },
[Opt_cdpl2] = { fs_param_is_bool },
[Opt_mba_mpbs] = { fs_param_is_bool },
};const const char *const rdt_param_keys[nr__rdt_params] = {
[Opt_cdp] = "cdp",
[Opt_cdpl2] = "cdpl2",
[Opt_mba_mpbs] = "mba_mbps",
};const struct fs_parameter_description rdt_parser = {
.name = "rdt",
.nr_params = nr__rdt_params,
.keys = rdt_param_keys,
.specs = rdt_param_specs,
.no_source = true,
};int rdt_parse_param(struct fs_context *fc,
struct fs_parameter *param)
{
struct fs_parse_result parse;
struct rdt_fs_context *ctx = rdt_fc2context(fc);
int ret;ret = fs_parse(fc, &rdt_parser, param, &parse);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;switch (parse.key) {
case Opt_cdp:
ctx->enable_cdpl3 = true;
return 0;
case Opt_cdpl2:
ctx->enable_cdpl2 = true;
return 0;
case Opt_mba_mpbs:
ctx->enable_mba_mbps = true;
return 0;
}return -EINVAL;
}(2) fs_lookup_param(). This takes a { dirfd, path, LOOKUP_EMPTY? } or
string value and performs an appropriate path lookup to convert it
into a path object, which it will then return.If the desired type was a blockdev, the type of the looked up inode
will be checked to make sure it is one.This can be used like:
enum foo_param {
Opt_source,
nr__foo_params
};const struct fs_parameter_spec foo_param_specs[nr__foo_params] = {
[Opt_source] = { fs_param_is_blockdev },
};const char *char foo_param_keys[nr__foo_params] = {
[Opt_source] = "source",
};const struct constant_table foo_param_alt_keys[] = {
{ "device", Opt_source },
};const struct fs_parameter_description foo_parser = {
.name = "foo",
.nr_params = nr__foo_params,
.nr_alt_keys = ARRAY_SIZE(foo_param_alt_keys),
.keys = foo_param_keys,
.alt_keys = foo_param_alt_keys,
.specs = foo_param_specs,
};int foo_parse_param(struct fs_context *fc,
struct fs_parameter *param)
{
struct fs_parse_result parse;
struct foo_fs_context *ctx = foo_fc2context(fc);
int ret;ret = fs_parse(fc, &foo_parser, param, &parse);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;switch (parse.key) {
case Opt_source:
return fs_lookup_param(fc, &foo_parser, param,
&parse, &ctx->source);
default:
return -EINVAL;
}
}(3) lookup_constant(). This takes a table of named constants and looks up
the given name within it. The table is expected to be sorted such
that bsearch() be used upon it.Possibly I should require the table be terminated and just use a
for-loop to scan it instead of using bsearch() to reduce hassle.Tables look something like:
static const struct constant_table bool_names[] = {
{ "0", false },
{ "1", true },
{ "false", false },
{ "no", false },
{ "true", true },
{ "yes", true },
};and a lookup is done with something like:
b = lookup_constant(bool_names, param->string, -1);
Additionally, optional validation routines for the parameter description
are provided that can be enabled at compile time. A later patch will
invoke these when a filesystem is registered.Signed-off-by: David Howells

* A umount is a special case for path walking. We're not actually interested
* in the inode in this situation, and ESTALE errors can be a problem. We
* simply want track down the dentry and vfsmount attached at the mountpoint

This reverts commit 55956b59df336f6738da916dbb520b6e37df9fbd.
commit 55956b59df33 ("vfs: Allow userns root to call mknod on owned filesystems.")
enabled mknod() in user namespaces for userns root if CAP_MKNOD is
available. However, these device nodes are useless since any filesystem
mounted from a non-initial user namespace will set the SB_I_NODEV flag on
the filesystem. Now, when a device node s created in a non-initial user
namespace a call to open() on said device node will fail due to:bool may_open_dev(const struct path *path)
{
return !(path->mnt->mnt_flags & MNT_NODEV) &&
!(path->mnt->mnt_sb->s_iflags & SB_I_NODEV);
}The problem with this is that as of the aforementioned commit mknod()
creates partially functional device nodes in non-initial user namespaces.
In particular, it has the consequence that as of the aforementioned commit
open() will be more privileged with respect to device nodes than mknod().
Before it was the other way around. Specifically, if mknod() succeeded
then it was transparent for any userspace application that a fatal error
must have occured when open() failed.All of this breaks multiple userspace workloads and a widespread assumption
about how to handle mknod(). Basically, all container runtimes and systemd
live by the slogan "ask for forgiveness not permission" when running user
namespace workloads. For mknod() the assumption is that if the syscall
succeeds the device nodes are useable irrespective of whether it succeeds
in a non-initial user namespace or not. This logic was chosen explicitly
to allow for the glorious day when mknod() will actually be able to create
fully functional device nodes in user namespaces.
A specific problem people are already running into when running 4.18 rc
kernels are failing systemd services. For any distro that is run in a
container systemd services started with the PrivateDevices= property set
will fail to start since the device nodes in question cannot be
opened (cf. the arguments in [1]).Full disclosure, Seth made the very sound argument that it is already
possible to end up with partially functional device nodes. Any filesystem
mounted with MS_NODEV set will allow mknod() to succeed but will not allow
open() to succeed. The difference to the case here is that the MS_NODEV
case is transparent to userspace since it is an explicitly set mount option
while the SB_I_NODEV case is an implicit property enforced by the kernel
and hence opaque to userspace.[1]: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/9483

Disallows open of FIFOs or regular files not owned by the user in world
writable sticky directories, unless the owner is the same as that of the
directory or the file is opened without the O_CREAT flag. The purpose
is to make data spoofing attacks harder. This protection can be turned
on and off separately for FIFOs and regular files via sysctl, just like
the symlinks/hardlinks protection. This patch is based on Openwall's
"HARDEN_FIFO" feature by Solar Designer.This is a brief list of old vulnerabilities that could have been prevented
by this feature, some of them even allow for privilege escalation:CVE-2000-1134
CVE-2007-3852
CVE-2008-0525
CVE-2009-0416
CVE-2011-4834
CVE-2015-1838
CVE-2015-7442
CVE-2016-7489This list is not meant to be complete. It's difficult to track down all
vulnerabilities of this kind because they were often reported without any
mention of this particular attack vector. In fact, before
hardlinks/symlinks restrictions, fifos/regular files weren't the favorite
vehicle to exploit them.[s.mesoraca16@gmail.com: fix bug reported by Dan Carpenter]
