It is possible for the thread with the seccomp filter attached (target)
to be waken up by an addfd message, but the list be empty. This happens
when the addfd ioctl on the other side (seccomp agent) is interrupted by
a signal such as SIGURG. In that case, the target erroneously and
prematurely returns from the syscall to userspace even though the
seccomp agent didn't ask for it.
This happens in the following scenario:
seccomp_notify_addfd() | seccomp_do_user_notification()
|
| err = wait_for_completion_interruptible(&n.ready);
complete(&knotif->ready); |
ret = wait_for_completion_interruptible(&kaddfd.completion); |
// interrupted |
|
mutex_lock(&filter->notify_lock); |
list_del(&kaddfd.list); |
mutex_unlock(&filter->notify_lock); |
| mutex_lock(&match->notify_lock);
| // This is false, addfd is false
| if (addfd && n.state != SECCOMP_NOTIFY_REPLIED)
|
| ret = n.val;
| err = n.error;
| flags = n.flags;
So, the process blocked in seccomp_do_user_notification() will see a
response. As n is 0 initialized and wasn't set, it will see a 0 as
return value from the syscall.
The seccomp agent, when retrying the interrupted syscall, will see an
ENOENT error as the notification no longer exists (it was already
answered by this bug).
This patch fixes the issue by splitting the if in two parts: if we were
woken up and the state is not replied, we will always do a "goto wait".
And if that happens and there is an addfd element on the list, we will
add the fd before "goto wait".
This issue is present since 5.9, when addfd was added.
