This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled cgroup: Use open-time cgroup namespace for process migration perm checks to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: cgroup-use-open-time-cgroup-namespace-for-process-migration-perm-checks.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From e57457641613fef0d147ede8bd6a3047df588b95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2022 11:02:29 -1000 Subject: cgroup: Use open-time cgroup namespace for process migration perm checks MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> commit e57457641613fef0d147ede8bd6a3047df588b95 upstream. cgroup process migration permission checks are performed at write time as whether a given operation is allowed or not is dependent on the content of the write - the PID. This currently uses current's cgroup namespace which is a potential security weakness as it may allow scenarios where a less privileged process tricks a more privileged one into writing into a fd that it created. This patch makes cgroup remember the cgroup namespace at the time of open and uses it for migration permission checks instad of current's. Note that this only applies to cgroup2 as cgroup1 doesn't have namespace support. This also fixes a use-after-free bug on cgroupns reported in https://lore.kernel.org/r/00000000000048c15c05d0083397@xxxxxxxxxx Note that backporting this fix also requires the preceding patch.
