[PATCH v8] fs: clear file privilege bits when mmap writing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Normally, when a user can modify a file that has setuid or setgid bits,
those bits are cleared when they are not the file owner or a member
of the group. This is enforced when using write and truncate but not
when writing to a shared mmap on the file. This could allow the file
writer to gain privileges by changing a binary without losing the
setuid/setgid/caps bits.

Changing the bits requires holding inode->i_mutex, so it cannot be done
during the page fault (due to mmap_sem being held during the fault).
Instead, clear the bits if PROT_WRITE is being used at mmap open time,
or added at mprotect time.

Since we can't do the check in the right place inside mmap (due to
holding mmap_sem), we have to do it before holding mmap_sem, which
means duplicating some checks, which have to be available to the non-MMU
builds too.

When walking VMAs during mprotect, we need to drop mmap_sem (while
holding a file reference) and restart the walk after clearing privileges.

v8:
- use mmap/mprotect method, with mprotect walk restart, thanks to koct9i
v7:
- document and avoid arch-specific O_* values, viro
v6:
- clarify ETXTBSY situation in comments, luto
v5:
- add to f_flags instead, viro
- add i_mutex during __fput, jack
v4:
- delay removal instead of still needing mmap_sem for mprotect, yalin
v3:
- move outside of mmap_sem for real now, fengguang
- check return code of file_remove_privs, akpm
v2:
- move to mmap from fault handler, jack
