This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled fs/coredump: prevent fsuid=0 dumps into user-controlled directories to the 4.4-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: fs-coredump-prevent-fsuid-0-dumps-into-user-controlled-directories.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 378c6520e7d29280f400ef2ceaf155c86f05a71a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jann Horn <jann@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:25:36 -0700 Subject: fs/coredump: prevent fsuid=0 dumps into user-controlled directories From: Jann Horn <jann@xxxxxxxxx> commit 378c6520e7d29280f400ef2ceaf155c86f05a71a upstream. This commit fixes the following security hole affecting systems where all of the following conditions are fulfilled: - The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2. - The kernel.core_pattern sysctl's value starts with "/". (Systems where kernel.core_pattern starts with "|/" are not affected.) - Unprivileged user namespace creation is permitted. (This is true on Linux >=3.8, but some distributions disallow it by default using a distro patch.) Under these conditions, if a program executes under secure exec rules, causing it to run with the SUID_DUMP_ROOT flag, then unshares its user namespace, changes its root directory and crashes, the coredump will be written using fsuid=0 and a path derived from kernel.core_pattern - but this path is interpreted relative to the root directory of the process, allowing the attacker to control where a coredump will be written with root privileges. To fix the security issue, always interpret core_pattern for dumps that are written under SUID_DUMP_ROOT relative to the root directory of init.
