From: Emil Velikov <emil.velikov@collabora.com>

This commit reworks the permission handling of the two ioctls. In
particular it enforced the CAP_SYS_ADMIN check only, if:
 - we're issuing the ioctl from process other than the one which opened
the node, and
 - we are, or were master in the past

This allows for any application which cannot rely on systemd-logind
being present (for whichever reason), to drop it's master capabilities
(and regain them at later point) w/o being ran as root.

See the comment above drm_master_check_perm() for more details.

This effectively supersedes an earlier patch [1] incorporating ajax's
feedback (from IRC ages ago).

I think this breaks logind security. With logind no compositor can open
the device node directly, hence no compositor can accidentally become the
master and block everyone else.

And for the vt switch logind is the only one that can grant master rights,
and it can make sure that the right compositor gets them. And if the old
compositor is non-cooperating, it can also forcefully remove master
rights.

But with this here we lift this restriction if a compositor has ever been
master. So the following thing could happen:
- We have 3 compositors for different users C1, C2, C3
- We switch from C1 to C2
- While we switch no one is master for a moment, which means C3 could
  sneak in and do a quick setmaster, and become master
- Everything would come crashing done since logind believes it already
  revoked master for C1, but somehow it now cant grant master to C2

I'm not sure we can even support these two models at the same time.

Isn't this a typo? Why should we only allow this if the opener is someone
else ... that looks like the logind approach? Or is my bolean logic parser
broken again.

I've explicitly considered this case. AFAICT this patch does not
change any of the contract.
If you think there's a scenario where things have broken, please let me know.

Yes logind does set/drop master on VT switch, session setup/teardown, etc.

To take this a step further, there is no logind API or dbus method for
compositors to only set/drop master.
Thus logind ensures that compositors are in sane state.

Does this scenario consider that all three compositors are logind users?
If so, C3 should not be able to set or drop master. Since it got its
fd from logind:

 - `file_priv->pid` will point to systemd-logind, and
 - `task_pid(current)` will point to the respective compositor

-> EACCES will be returned to any compositor calling drmSetMaster.

Regardless of my patch, C3 can open() and simply not release the master.
Assuming it's the first DRM client of course - say switch to VTx +
login + start C3.

I've been lucky enough to spot various ways to softlock my system...
even when the compositor is using logind ;-)
If you're really interested I can share, but I'm worried that people
may see them as bashing at logind.

Thanks for spotting it. Indeed that should be:

if (file_priv->pid == task_pid(current) && file_priv->was_master)
    return 0;


Modulo any objections, I'll do proper testing and submit a non RFC version.
The inline comments will explicitly mention your concerns and why the
patch is safe.


Thanks

Hm ... I guess this works indeed. Or should. I'm mildly freaked out
that we're checking for opener_pid == current->pid. Not sure how many
other security assumptions we're breaking.

Given the above bug I think a solid igt for both the logind and the
non-logind scenario is needed. We have some helpers to drop root and
fork stuff and all that, so shouldn't be many lines.

Hi,

I'm mostly just curious, why is comparing pids safe here? Maybe the
'pid' member is not what userspace calls PID?

What if a malicious process receives a DRM fd from something similar to
logind, then the logind equivalent process dies, and the malicious
process starts forking new processes attempting to hit the same pid the
logind equivalent had, succeeds in that, and passes the DRM fd to that
fork. Is the fork then effectively in control of DRM master?


Thanks,
pq

PID here is the kernel struct pid. For userspace ones we have the
distinct task_xid_nr, task_xid_vnr and task_xid_nr_ns.
See the documentation [1] for details.

In the logind case, systemd ensures to bring it back up ASAP. For
others - shrug?

Valid point, although I believe we're covered.

First and foremost, the pid we store is refcounted [1]. So in order
for this to happen we need have both a) a pretty fundamental refcount
bug for the pid to gets destroyed and b) we need to allocate another
one at the exact same address.

Individually - pretty unlikely, combined - beyond paranoid IMHO.

Additionally, today there are other ways to cause issues. In particular:
 - logind dies
 - the application already has an fd (from logind)
 - the fd is master capable
 - application is free to do as it wishes ... apart from dropping
master (oh noo) and setting it back up again

Or a simple application which loops over open() + drmIsMaster() + close().
There are others, although I'd be going pretty much off-topic.

Thanks
Emil

Today there are many ways to DoS your compositor - regardless if the
app uses logind or not.
As said in the other thread - we do refcount the pid. So its lifetime
should be preserved and the check will be fine.
