From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> sys_move_mount() crashes by dereferencing the pointer MNT_NS_INTERNAL, a.k.a. ERR_PTR(-EINVAL), if the old mount is specified by fd for a kernel object with an internal mount, such as a pipe or memfd. Fix it by checking for this case and returning -EINVAL. Reproducer: #include <unistd.h> #define __NR_move_mount 429 #define MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH 0x00000004 int main() { int fds[2]; pipe(fds); syscall(__NR_move_mount, fds[0], "", -1, "/", MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH); } Reported-by: syzbot+6004acbaa1893ad013f0@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fixes: 2db154b3ea8e ("vfs: syscall: Add move_mount(2) to move mounts around") Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/namespace.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/namespace.c b/fs/namespace.c index 7660c2749c96..a7e5a44770a7 100644 --- a/fs/namespace.c +++ b/fs/namespace.c @@ -2600,7 +2600,7 @@ static int do_move_mount(struct path *old_path, struct path *new_path) if (attached && !check_mnt(old)) goto out; - if (!attached && !(ns && is_anon_ns(ns))) + if (!attached && !(ns && ns != MNT_NS_INTERNAL && is_anon_ns(ns))) goto out; if (old->mnt.mnt_flags & MNT_LOCKED) -- 2.22.0
