Subject: [PATCH] proc: Track /proc/$pid/attr/ opener mm_struct

Commit bfb819ea20ce ("proc: Check /proc/$pid/attr/ writes against file opener")
tried to make sure that there could not be a confusion between the opener of
a /proc/$pid/attr/ file and the writer. It used struct cred to make sure
the privileges didn't change. However, there were existing cases where a more
privileged thread was passing the opened fd to a differently privileged thread
(during container setup). Instead, use mm_struct to track whether the opener
and writer are still the same process. (This is what several other proc files
already do, though for different reasons.)

Argh. Are you able to uncover what userspace is doing here?

So far, my test cases are:

1) self: open, write, close: allowed
2) self: open, clone thread. thread: change privileges, write, close: allowed
3) self: open, give to privileged process. privileged process: write: reject

I found getpidcon() in libselinux:

It looks like this is a case of attempting to _read_ the attr file, and
the new opener check was requiring the opener/target relationship pass
the mm_access() checks, which is clearly too strict.

I've now added:

4) self: open privileged process's attr, read, close: allowed

Can folks please test this patch to double-check?

I found an issue under Smack where a privileged process opened
/proc/self/attr/smack/current, wrote to it successfully, then tried
to write to it again, which failed because the cred has changed.
That's not a common use case. The usual case is open, write, close.
If ServiceManager is assuming that it can leave a descriptor open
while manipulations are in progress it could encounter the same kind
of problem.

I don't think this is necessary.

If file->private_data is NULL, then the old test for private_data !=
current->mm will still work just fine.

Because if you can fool kernel threads to do the write for you, you
have bigger security issues than that test.

Thanks for testing!

This appears to come from here:
https://github.com/aosp-mirror/platform_system_core/blob/master/init/service.cpp#L242


In setexeccon(), I see (pid=0, attr="exec"):

fd = openattr(pid, attr, O_RDWR | O_CLOEXEC);
...
ret = write(fd, context2, strlen(context2) + 1);
...
close(fd);


and openattr() is doing:
...
rc = asprintf(&path, "/proc/thread-self/attr/%s", attr);
if (rc < 0)
return -1;
fd = open(path, flags | O_CLOEXEC);
...

I'm not sure how the above could fail. (mm_access() always allows
introspection...)

The only way I can understand the check failing is if a process did:

open, exec, write

But setexeccon() is not doing anything between the open and the write...

I will keep looking...

I have no idea where the cm14.1 libraries are. Does anybody know where
the matching source code for setexeccon() would be?

For me - obviously not on cm14.1 - all "setexeccon()" does is

n = openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/thread-self/attr/exec", O_RDWR|O_CLOEXEC)
write(n, string, len)
close(n)

and if that fails, it would seem to indicate that proc_mem_open()
failed. Which would be mm_access() failing. But I don't see how that
can be the case, because mm_access() explicitly allows "mm ==
current->mm" (which the above clearly should be).

youling, can you double-check with the current -git tree? But as far
as I can tell, my minimal patch is exactly the same as Kees' patch
(just smaller and simpler).

Kees, do you see anything?

Yeah, that was what I saw too.

No, I haven't been able to reproduce the failure. :(

I test "proc: only require mm_struct for writing" fixed my cm14.1 problem.
