So wchan leaks absolute kernel addresses to unprivileged user-space, of kernel
functions that sleep:
static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns,
struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task)
{
unsigned long wchan;
char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN];
wchan = get_wchan(task);
if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) < 0) {
if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ))
return 0;
seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan);
} else {
seq_printf(m, "%s", symname);
}
return 0;
}
So for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset to any local attacker:
fomalhaut:~> printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35)
ffffffff8123b380
Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic:
ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm
and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in /proc/PID/stat:
triton:~/tip> strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2>&1 | grep wchan | tail -1
open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY) = 6
So shouldn't we try to set all numeric output to 0 and only allow symbolic output
via /proc/PID/wchan?
These days there's very little legitimate reason user-space would be interested in
the absolute address. The absolute address is mostly historic: from the days when
we didn't have kallsyms and user-space procps had to do the decoding itself via
the System.map.
( The absolute sleep address can generally still be profiled via perf, by tasks
with sufficient privileges. )
I.e. how about something like the patch below? (completely untested.)
Thanks,
Ingo
