We discussed patch titled:
[PATCH] Make core_pattern support namespace
before.
Above patch can solve half problem of custom core_dump pattern
in container, but there are also another problem that limit
custom core_pattern in container, it is the pipe-type core_pattern
will write core dump into host's filesystem.
(See discussion of that patch for detail)
Now we can solve the second problem by [PATCH 2/3], I send
the origional patch with it.
Changelog v1->v2:
1: Fix compile fail in xtensa which is reported by
kbuild test robot <lkp-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>
2: Use a wapper to avoid calling _do_fork() outside kernel/fork.c,
suggested by: Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu-+CUm20s59erQFUHtdCDX3A@public.gmane.org>
Zhao Lei (3):
Make _do_fork support return to caller's code
Run dump pipe in container's namespace
Make core_pattern support namespace

* [PATCH v2 1/3] Make _do_fork support return to caller's code

Currently, _do_fork() have following action:
1: Called by user task
New task return to user space code directly, bypass remain
kernel space code.
2: Called by kthread
New task run into callback function in kernel space specified
by _do_fork() caller.
In somecase, we need to fork a new task in user process's context,
it is used for next patch to fix core dump's security problem in
container.
This patch add a argument named return_to_kernel to _do_fork(),
to make new task always return to kernel_space with this argument.

* [PATCH v2 1/3] Make _do_fork support return to caller's code
@ 2016-03-18 12:48 ` Zhao Lei
0 siblings, 0 replies; 28+ messages in thread
From: Zhao Lei @ 2016-03-18 12:48 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linux-kernel; +Cc: containers, Eric W. Biederman, Mateusz Guzik, Zhao Lei
Currently, _do_fork() have following action:
1: Called by user task
New task return to user space code directly, bypass remain
kernel space code.
2: Called by kthread
New task run into callback function in kernel space specified
by _do_fork() caller.
In somecase, we need to fork a new task in user process's context,
it is used for next patch to fix core dump's security problem in
container.
This patch add a argument named return_to_kernel to _do_fork(),
to make new task always return to kernel_space with this argument.

In current system, when we set core_pattern to a pipe, both pipe program
and program's output are in host's filesystem.
For example, when we set following core_pattern:
# echo "|/my_dump_pipe %s %c %p %u %g %t e" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
and trigger a segment fault in a container, my_dump_pipe is searched from
host's filesystem, and it will write coredump into host's filesystem too.
In a privileged container, user can destroy host system by following
command:
# # In a container
# echo "|/bin/dd of=/boot/vmlinuz" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
# make_dump
Actually, all operation in a container should not change host's
environment, the container should use core_pattern as its private setting.
In detail, in core dump action:
1: Search pipe program in container's fs namespace.
2: Run pipe program in container's fs namespace to write coredump to it.
This patch fixed above problem running pipe program in user process's
context instead of kthread.
Test:

* [PATCH v2 3/3] Make core_pattern support namespace

Currently, each container shared one copy of coredump setting
with the host system, if host system changed the setting, each
running containers will be affected.
Moreover, it is not easy to let each container keeping their own
coredump setting.
We can use some workaround as pipe program to make the second
requirement possible, but it is not simple, and both host and
container are limited to set to fixed pipe program.
In one word, for host running contailer, we can't change core_pattern
anymore.
To make the problem more hard, if a host running more than one
container product, each product will try to snatch the global
coredump setting to fit their own requirement.
For container based on namespace design, it is good to allow
each container keeping their own coredump setting.
It will bring us following benefit:
1: Each container can change their own coredump setting
based on operation on /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
2: Coredump setting changed in host will not affect
running containers.
3: Support both case of "putting coredump in guest" and
"putting curedump in host".
Each namespace-based software(lxc, docker, ..) can use this function
to custom their dump setting.
And this function makes each continer working as separate system,
it fit for design goal of namespace.
Test(in lxc):

container product, each product will try to snatch the global
coredump setting to fit their own requirement.
For container based on namespace design, it is good to allow
each container keeping their own coredump setting.
It will bring us following benefit:
1: Each container can change their own coredump setting
based on operation on /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
2: Coredump setting changed in host will not affect
running containers.
3: Support both case of "putting coredump in guest" and
"putting curedump in host".
Each namespace-based software(lxc, docker, ..) can use this function
to custom their dump setting.
And this function makes each continer working as separate system,
it fit for design goal of namespace.
Test(in lxc):
# In the host
# ----------------
# echo host_core >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
host_core
# ulimit -c 1024000
# ./make_dump

This is pretty horrible. You are giving unprivileged processes the
ability to run an already specified core dump helper in a pid namespace
of their choosing.
That is not backwards compatible, and it is possible this can lead to
privilege escalation by triciking a privileged dump process to do
something silly because it is running in the wrong pid namespace.
Similarly the entire concept of forking from the program dumping core
suffers from the same problem but for all other namespaces.
I was hoping that I would see a justification somewhere in the patch
descriptions describing why this set of decisions could be safe. I do
not and so I assume this case was not considered.
If you had managed to fork for the child_reaper of the pid_namespace
that set the core pattern (as has been suggested) there would be some
chance that things would work correctly. As you are forking from the
program actually dumping core I see no chance that this patchset is
either safe or backwards compatible as currently written.

This is pretty horrible. You are giving unprivileged processes the
ability to run an already specified core dump helper in a pid namespace
of their choosing.
That is not backwards compatible, and it is possible this can lead to
privilege escalation by triciking a privileged dump process to do
something silly because it is running in the wrong pid namespace.
Similarly the entire concept of forking from the program dumping core
suffers from the same problem but for all other namespaces.
I was hoping that I would see a justification somewhere in the patch
descriptions describing why this set of decisions could be safe. I do
not and so I assume this case was not considered.
If you had managed to fork for the child_reaper of the pid_namespace
that set the core pattern (as has been suggested) there would be some
chance that things would work correctly. As you are forking from the
program actually dumping core I see no chance that this patchset is
either safe or backwards compatible as currently written.

In 5 members in nsproxy struct, pid_ns_for_children seems the best place
for this variable.
And no variable named task_active_pid_namespace in source,

Similar problem before patch.
In piped core_pattern setting, any panic process will trigger a
running of core_dump process.
Comparing to current code, current code maybe more horrible,
the guest can destroy host system, and after this patch, the guest
can only destroy itself.
(As the script in patch description)
Actually it is not so horrible, only the root user can modify code_pattern,
and normal user/process have no chance to do bad thing.

In current code, the dump process is forking from kernel thread,
it is in a most-privileged namespace, dumping contents into host's fs,
it really cause problem.
Compare to current code, running dump process in container's
namespace maybe the right way.
The only thing this patch do is letting dump program running in
container's namespace instead of host.

Do you mean do fork in kthread(who is running in host's namespace, as corrent code)
with some special operation to change new thread running in container's
namespace?

Current code have obvious problem, this forking new thread in container's
namespace is nothing but safe than host's namespace.
At least we need to solve the problem descripted in script in patch
description.
The only thing is backwards compatible, as our discussion in v1 patch,
it is the thing we need to change.

nsproxy is not a magic list of namespaces, nsproxy is to keep
task_struct from expanding and as a trick to keep reference count
increments for namespaces cheap.

Apologies I mispelled it. Look in pid_namespace.h at
task_active_pid_ns. If you want a tasks pid namespace that is the
function to use.
pid_ns_for_children only describes newly forked children. Which leads
to another problem of your patchset. I can force your coredump helper
into a pid namespace that the program that dumps core will create it's
children in.

Only if the host is configured to allow itself to be stomped on. That
is completely a host configured setting. Yes the host can configure
itself in a way that can cause problems. But that is the hosts problem.

The argument that a bad design is not bad because only root can do X
does not fly anymore, especially in the presence of containers.

It only dumps into the host's fs if it is configured that way. When you
point a gun at your foot and pull the trigger that really causes
problems as well. That doesn't make it the gun's problem that it can be
pointed at feet.

The ability to trick a more privileged program to do the wrong thing is
most definitely more than only letting the dump program run in the
container's namespace. This can be everything up to including getting
root outside of the container.
I will admit that if used with a user namespace what you are doing is
not the worst possible thing to do but it is very definitely a mess.

The current code has obvious limitations. But you can in userspace
accomplish mush everything you hope to accomplish here, as all of the
information is available. It just requires coopeartion.

*Laughs*
This code is so absurd in handling the weird cases that I was hoping
that someone else would point out how very very bad it is. The possible
solutions to the problems have already been discussed to ad nasium and
you have not used any of those solutions. Although it does seem the
kbuild test robot was not too bad in point out how poor your testing of
these patches was.
At the end of the day I can break any number of current setups with your
patches. Then there are the security implication of confusing
privileged or somewhat privileged dumping programs. On the one hand
your patches are not giving the core dumping program enough privielges
to write core dumps, on the other hand you are making it possible to
confuse at least set uid root core dump helpers, leading to privilege
escalations.
In no case does what happens during a core dump follow any version of
the principle of least surprise.
I will agree that the problem you are trying to solve is a pain point,
but as I have said before it is a pain point because it is tricky to get
all of the details right for an real solution.

nsproxy is not a magic list of namespaces, nsproxy is to keep
task_struct from expanding and as a trick to keep reference count
increments for namespaces cheap.

Apologies I mispelled it. Look in pid_namespace.h at
task_active_pid_ns. If you want a tasks pid namespace that is the
function to use.
pid_ns_for_children only describes newly forked children. Which leads
to another problem of your patchset. I can force your coredump helper
into a pid namespace that the program that dumps core will create it's
children in.

Only if the host is configured to allow itself to be stomped on. That
is completely a host configured setting. Yes the host can configure
itself in a way that can cause problems. But that is the hosts problem.

The argument that a bad design is not bad because only root can do X
does not fly anymore, especially in the presence of containers.

It only dumps into the host's fs if it is configured that way. When you
point a gun at your foot and pull the trigger that really causes
problems as well. That doesn't make it the gun's problem that it can be
pointed at feet.

The ability to trick a more privileged program to do the wrong thing is
most definitely more than only letting the dump program run in the
container's namespace. This can be everything up to including getting
root outside of the container.
I will admit that if used with a user namespace what you are doing is
not the worst possible thing to do but it is very definitely a mess.

The current code has obvious limitations. But you can in userspace
accomplish mush everything you hope to accomplish here, as all of the
information is available. It just requires coopeartion.

*Laughs*
This code is so absurd in handling the weird cases that I was hoping
that someone else would point out how very very bad it is. The possible
solutions to the problems have already been discussed to ad nasium and
you have not used any of those solutions. Although it does seem the
kbuild test robot was not too bad in point out how poor your testing of
these patches was.
At the end of the day I can break any number of current setups with your
patches. Then there are the security implication of confusing
privileged or somewhat privileged dumping programs. On the one hand
your patches are not giving the core dumping program enough privielges
to write core dumps, on the other hand you are making it possible to
confuse at least set uid root core dump helpers, leading to privilege

the principle of least surprise.

but as I have said before it is a pain point because it is tricky to get

Let me make a summarize:
You think this way is not acceptable, because the pipe program is running
in the panic-process's namespace context.
And in my view, a pipe program in the host's top level namespace is also
a problem.
Let us think a container, to make it act as a real machine, when a program
panic, linux kernel should dump it into the container's filesystem.
For the kernel, to keep the current way of forking pipe program by kthread,
just let the pipe thread running in the container's namespace, instead the host,
may solve the problem in current kernel.
What is your opinion?
Btw, this patch is trying to solve the problem descripted in thread named:
"piping core dump to a program escapes container" in
http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/containers/2015-December/036476.html
Maybe using a userspace tool can make container dump to anywhere,
but for kernel ifself, it is better to solve above problem if we can.
Thanks

Let me make a summarize:
You think this way is not acceptable, because the pipe program is running
in the panic-process's namespace context.
And in my view, a pipe program in the host's top level namespace is also
a problem.
Let us think a container, to make it act as a real machine, when a program
panic, linux kernel should dump it into the container's filesystem.
For the kernel, to keep the current way of forking pipe program by kthread,
just let the pipe thread running in the container's namespace, instead the host,
may solve the problem in current kernel.
What is your opinion?
Btw, this patch is trying to solve the problem descripted in thread named:
"piping core dump to a program escapes container" in
http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/containers/2015-December/036476.html
Maybe using a userspace tool can make container dump to anywhere,
but for kernel ifself, it is better to solve above problem if we can.
Thanks

Actually my view is that your patchset is not acceptable because it
is implemented in a way that is not backwards compatible (AKA it can
break existing configurations that remain unchanged) and your
implementation does not appear in the least safe from malicious users.
There is also a problem that your patchset is simply buggy for what it
tries to implement, as using pid_ns_for_children and the multiple kbuild
robot emails testifies.

I think it would be great to find a way to run a core dump helper and
otherwise allow setting the core dump pattern in a container in a way
that is safe from malicious users and does not break existing setups.

So, there is following problem:
1: safe from malicious users
We can try to find a way to fork process which have no relationship
with the panic process.
2: Bug in patch
It can be fixed, but I'd rather get a conclusion of this discussion
before fix.
3: Backwards compatible
It maybe the biggest problem in discussion, this patch is used to let
container dump files into container, it is different with current action.
Before patch:
File type dump_pattern: dump to container
Pipe type dump_pattern: dump to host
After patch:
File type dump_pattern: dump to container
Pipe type dump_pattern: dump to container
The second design seems better but not compatible with current kernel,
but this patch can not fix to keep compatible because it is the patch's
function.
Maybe we can make some workagound, as:
a. Add a kernel config to let the old style as default.
b. keep old style, and add "||" for core_pattern, as
echo "|| /root/container_dumper" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
to dump to container.
What is your opinion about it?
Thanks

There are two parts to backwards compatibility.
1) How should core patterns that are set outside of any container be
treated?
The patchset under discussion imported core patterns set outside of
containers into containers completely trivially changing their
behavior and breaking backwards compatibility. That is just not
acceptable.
2) How should core patterns inside of containers be treated?
There are corner cases that I am not thinking of that will cause
regressions but I think we can reasonably assume that core patterns
are not set inside of containers today. Assuming that is true,
then setting a core pattern inside of a container is the only thing
that the kernel needs to detect to handle working inside of a
container.
The practical question I see for this case is which parent process
needs to be used for your core dump helper, and which set of
namespaces that parent helper has.
I will also remind people thinking about these issues that containers
can be run recursisvely.

Before this patch, setting pattern outside container will change setting
in container.
And after this patch, host and container are separated, they have respective
setting, and no relationship except the container will copy host's setting
in create.
If we don't think compatibility, it may be a good idea, the container is only
allowed to change the core_pattern by itself.
It is strange that the core_pattern in container was changed but user/process
in container do nothing.
But just as you said, it have compatibility problem, someone maybe using
this feature to modify core_pattern in container in host.
To keep the compatibility and allow custom core_pattern in continer,
maybe we can:
1: If no process setting core_pattern in container, the container's
core_pattern keep same copy with host.
And if core_pattern in host changed this time, the container's pattern
changed with host.
2: If core_pattern in container changed by some one/process in container,
it is separated with host, and modification in host will not affect container.
What is your opinion about it?

That sounds correct. Use the core_pattern for the container if it
