Subject: [PATCH] CRED: Fix SUID exec regression

The patch:

	commit a6f76f23d297f70e2a6b3ec607f7aeeea9e37e8d
	CRED: Make execve() take advantage of copy-on-write credentials

moved the place in which the 'safeness' of a SUID/SGID exec was performed to
before de_thread() was called.  This means that LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE is now
calculated incorrectly.  This flag is set if any of the usage counts for
fs_struct, files_struct and sighand_struct are greater than 1 at the time the
determination is made.  All of which are true for threads created by the
pthread library.

However, since we wish to make the security calculation before irrevocably
damaging the process so that we can return it an error code in the case where
we decide we want to reject the exec request on this basis, we have to make the
determination before calling de_thread().

So, instead, we count up the number of threads (CLONE_THREAD) that are sharing
our fs_struct (CLONE_FS), files_struct (CLONE_FILES) and sighand_structs
(CLONE_SIGHAND/CLONE_THREAD) with us.  These will be killed by de_thread() and
so can be discounted by check_unsafe_exec().

We do have to be careful because CLONE_THREAD does not imply FS or FILES.

We _assume_ that there will be no extra references to these structs held by the
threads we're going to kill.

This can be tested with the attached pair of programs.  Build the two programs
using the Makefile supplied, and run ./test1 as a non-root user.  If
successful, you should see something like:

	[dhowells@...romeda tmp]$ ./test1
	--TEST1--
	uid=4043, euid=4043 suid=4043
	exec ./test2
	--TEST2--
	uid=4043, euid=0 suid=0
	SUCCESS - Correct effective user ID

and if unsuccessful, something like:

	[dhowells@...romeda tmp]$ ./test1
	--TEST1--
	uid=4043, euid=4043 suid=4043
	exec ./test2
	--TEST2--
	uid=4043, euid=4043 suid=4043
	ERROR - Incorrect effective user ID!

The non-root user ID you see will depend on the user you run as.


[test1.c]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <pthread.h>

static void *thread_func(void *arg)
{
	while (1) {}
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	pthread_t tid;
	uid_t uid, euid, suid;

	printf("--TEST1--\n");
	getresuid(&uid, &euid, &suid);
	printf("uid=%d, euid=%d suid=%d\n", uid, euid, suid);

	if (pthread_create(&tid, NULL, thread_func, NULL) < 0) {
		perror("pthread_create");
		exit(1);
	}

	printf("exec ./test2\n");
	execlp("./test2", "test2", NULL);
	perror("./test2");
	_exit(1);
}

[test2.c]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	uid_t uid, euid, suid;

	getresuid(&uid, &euid, &suid);
	printf("--TEST2--\n");
	printf("uid=%d, euid=%d suid=%d\n", uid, euid, suid);

	if (euid != 0) {
		fprintf(stderr, "ERROR - Incorrect effective user ID!\n");
		exit(1);
	}
	printf("SUCCESS - Correct effective user ID\n");
	exit(0);
}

[Makefile]
CFLAGS = -D_GNU_SOURCE -Wall -Werror -Wunused
all: test1 test2

test1: test1.c
	gcc $(CFLAGS) -o test1 test1.c -lpthread

test2: test2.c
	gcc $(CFLAGS) -o test2 test2.c
	sudo chown root.root test2
	sudo chmod +s test2
