Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] exec: add PR_HIDE_SELF_EXE prctl
Date:   Fri, 20 Jan 2023 11:25:11 +0100

This patch adds a new prctl called PR_HIDE_SELF_EXE which allows
processes to hide their own /proc/*/exe file. When this prctl is
used, every access to /proc/*/exe for the calling process will
fail with ENOENT.

This is useful for preventing issues like CVE-2019-5736, where an
attacker can gain host root access by overwriting the binary
in OCI runtimes through file-descriptor mishandling in containers.

The current fix for CVE-2019-5736 is to create a read-only copy or
a bind-mount of the current executable, and then re-exec the current
process.  With the new prctl, the read-only copy or bind-mount copy is
not needed anymore.

While map_files/ also might contain symlinks to files in host,
proc_map_files_get_link() permissions checks are already sufficient.

v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2023/1/19/849

Differences from v2:

- fixed the test to check PR_SET_HIDE_SELF_EXE after fork

v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2023/1/4/334

Differences from v1:

- amended more information in the commit message wrt map_files not
  requiring the same protection.
- changed the test to verify PR_HIDE_SELF_EXE cannot be unset after
  a fork.
