Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ptrace: use fsuid, fsgid, effective creds for fs access checks
By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID /
permitted capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually
intended to use its credentials.
To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller
credentials (e.g. in case out-of-tree code or newly added code
omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS flag), use two new flags and
require one of them to be set.
The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped
its privileges, e.g. by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the
intent to perform following syscalls with the credentials of
a user, it still passed ptrace access checks that the user would
not be able to pass.
While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged
task to perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the
ptrace access check is reused for things in procfs.
In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries
only rely on ptrace access checks:
/proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers
should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR
/proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR
/proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted
directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in
this scenario:
lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -> /root/foobar
drwx------ root root /root
drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar
-rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret
Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary
changes its effective credentials as described and then dumps a
user-specified file, this could be used by an attacker to reveal
the memory layout of root's processes or reveal the contents of
files he is not allowed to access (through /proc/$pid/cwd).
