Subject: [PATCH] proc: revalidate kernel thread inodes to root:root
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2018 01:01:09 +0300
Message-ID: <20180412220109.GA20978@avx2> (raw)
task_dump_owner() has the following code:
mm = task->mm;
if (mm) {
if (get_dumpable(mm) != SUID_DUMP_USER) {
uid = ...
}
}
Check for ->mm is buggy -- kernel thread might be borrowing mm
and inode will go to some random uid:gid pair.
