[PATCH 0/5] Refactor kallsyms_show_value() users for correct cred

[PATCH 0/5] Refactor kallsyms_show_value() users for correct cred

[Kees Cook]

Hi,

I'm not sure who should carry this tree (me? Greg? akpm? Linus?), but
it fixes a kernel address exposure bug reported by Dominik Czarnota,
where /sys/modules/*/sections/* contents were visible to uid-0 without
CAP_SYSLOG (e.g. in containers):

This is correct, with CAP_SYSLOG:
 # cat /sys/module/*/sections/.*text
 0xffffffffc0458000
 ...

This is broken:
 # capsh --drop=CAP_SYSLOG -- -c "cat /sys/module/*/sections/.*text"
 0xffffffffc0458000
 ...

Fixing this required refactoring of several internals, and in the process
uncovered other users of kallsyms_show_value() that were doing checks
during "read" context instead of "open" context. This fixes all of these
cases by plumbing the file->f_cred through to their ultimate checks via
kallsyms_show_value()'s new cred argument.

Testing, reviews, and acks appreciated. :)

Thanks!

-Kees

[PATCH 1/5] kallsyms: Refactor kallsyms_show_value() to take cred

[Kees Cook]

In order to perform future tests against the cred saved during open(),
switch kallsyms_show_value() to operate on a cred, and have all current
callers pass current_cred(). This makes it very obvious where callers
are checking the wrong credential in their "read" contexts. These will
be fixed in the coming patches.

Additionally switch return value to bool, since it is always used as a
direct permission check, not a 0-on-success, negative-on-error style
function return.

[PATCH 2/5] module: Refactor section attr into bin attribute

[Kees Cook]

In order to gain access to the open file's f_cred for kallsym visibility
permission checks, refactor the module section attributes to use the
bin_attribute instead of attribute interface. Additionally removes the
redundant "name" struct member.

[PATCH 3/5] module: Do not expose section addresses to non-CAP_SYSLOG

[Kees Cook]

The printing of section addresses in /sys/module/*/sections/* was not
using the correct credentials to evaluate visibility.

Before:

 # cat /sys/module/*/sections/.*text
 0xffffffffc0458000
 ...
 # capsh --drop=CAP_SYSLOG -- -c "cat /sys/module/*/sections/.*text"
 0xffffffffc0458000
 ...

After:

 # cat /sys/module/*/sections/*.text
 0xffffffffc0458000
 ...
 # capsh --drop=CAP_SYSLOG -- -c "cat /sys/module/*/sections/.*text"
 0x0000000000000000
 ...

Additionally replaces the existing (safe) /proc/modules check with
file->f_cred for consistency.

[PATCH 5/5] bpf: Check correct cred for CAP_SYSLOG in bpf_dump_raw_ok()

[Kees Cook]

When evaluating access control over kallsyms visibility, credentials at
open() time need to be used, not the "current" creds (though in BPF's
case, this has likely always been the same). Plumb access to associated
file->f_cred down through bpf_dump_raw_ok() and its callers now that
kallsysm_show_value() has been refactored to take struct cred.

Side note: I have a distinct - but despite that possibly quite
incorrect - memory that I've discussed with somebody several years ago
about making "current_cred()" simply warn in any IO context.

IOW, we could have read and write just increment/decrement a
per-thread counter, and have current_cred() do a WARN_ON_ONCE() if
it's called with that counter incremented.

The issue of ioctl's is a bit less obvious - there are reasons to
argue those should also use open-time credentials, but on the other
hand I think it's reasonable to pass a file descriptor to a suid app
in order for that app to do things that the normal user cannot.

But read/write are dangerous because of the "it's so easy to fool suid
apps to read/write stdin/stdout".

So pread/pwrite/ioctl/splice etc are things that suid applications
very much do on purpose to affect a file descriptor. But plain
read/write are things that might be accidental and used by attack
vectors.

If somebody is interested in looking into things like that, it might
be a good idea to have kernel threads with that counter incremented by
default.

Just throwing this idea out in case somebody wants to try it. It's not
just "current_cred", of course. It's all the current_cred_xxx() users
too. But it may be that there are a ton of false positives because
maybe some code on purpose ends up doing things like just *comparing*
current_cred with file->f_cred and then that would warn too.

That does sound familiar. I can't find a thread on it, but my search
abilities are poor. :) So an increment/decrement in all the IO-related
syscalls, or were you thinking of some other location?

So probably just start with read/write and tighten it over time, if we
find other clear places, leaving ioctl/pread/pwrite/splice alone.

Yeah ... and I think the kthread test should answer that question.

Yeah, though I do have some concerns that switching to a bin attribute
changes the userspace behavior a bit. With seq_file-based "show", we
get a 4096 size, and seeking isn't possible (lseek to non-0 location
will fail). With the raw "read", we get the right size, but lseek()
is allowed (but I've got the "read" handler refuse reads starting from
non-zero). When I reviewed[1] potential readers (elftutils, systemtap,
kmod), they all seem to do normal things (fopen/fscanf/fclose), so I'm
hoping this won't be a problem in practice.

With 67 kthreads on a booted system, this patch does not immediately
blow up... And it likely needs some beautification. (Note that
current_cred_*() calls current_cred() under the hood, so AFAICT, only
current_cred() needs coverage.)

I hadn't gotten to that yet. I need to catch up on other stuff first,
