Subject: [PATCH] procfs: block chmod on /proc/thread-self/comm
Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2023 22:17:50 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230713121752.8039-1-cyphar@cyphar.com> (raw)

Due to an oversight in commit 1b3044e39a89 ("procfs: fix pthread
cross-thread naming if !PR_DUMPABLE") in switching from REG to NOD,
chmod operations on /proc/thread-self/comm were no longer blocked as
they are on almost all other procfs files.

A very similar situation with /proc/self/environ was used to as a root
exploit a long time ago, but procfs has SB_I_NOEXEC so this is simply a
correctness issue.

Ref: 6d76fa58b050 ("Don't allow chmod() on the /proc/<pid>/ files")
Fixes: 1b3044e39a89 ("procfs: fix pthread cross-thread naming if !PR_DUMPABLE")
