2023-12-15cred: switch to using atomic_long_tJens Axboe
There are multiple ways to grab references to credentials, and the only protection we have against overflowing it is the memory required to do so. With memory sizes only moving in one direction, let's bump the reference count to 64-bit and move it outside the realm of feasibly overflowing.

2023-09-29groups: Convert group_info.usage to refcount_tElena Reshetova
atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable group_info.usage is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. **Important note for maintainers: Some functions from refcount_t API defined in refcount.h have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic counterparts. Please check Documentation/core-api/refcount-vs-atomic.rst for more information. Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in some rare cases it might matter. Please double check that you don't have some undocumented memory guarantees for this variable usage. For the group_info.usage it might make a difference in following places: - put_group_info(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() only provides RELEASE ordering and ACQUIRE ordering on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart Suggested-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Elena Reshetova <elena.reshetova@intel.com> Reviewed-by: David Windsor <dwindsor@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Hans Liljestrand <ishkamiel@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230818041456.gonna.009-kees@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

2022-11-01cred: Do not default to init_cred in prepare_kernel_cred()Kees Cook
A common exploit pattern for ROP attacks is to abuse prepare_kernel_cred() in order to construct escalated privileges[1]. Instead of providing a short-hand argument (NULL) to the "daemon" argument to indicate using init_cred as the base cred, require that "daemon" is always set to an actual task. Replace all existing callers that were passing NULL with &init_task. Future attacks will need to have sufficiently powerful read/write primitives to have found an appropriately privileged task and written it to the ROP stack as an argument to succeed, which is similarly difficult to the prior effort needed to escalate privileges before struct cred existed: locate the current cred and overwrite the uid member. This has the added benefit of meaning that prepare_kernel_cred() can no longer exceed the privileges of the init task, which may have changed from the original init_cred (e.g. dropping capabilities from the bounding set).

I looked at cred->ucount and it is only used for rlimit operations that were previously stored in cred->user. Making the fact cred->ucount can refer to a different user from cred->user a bug, affecting all uses of cred->ulimit not just RLIMIT_NPROC. Fix set_cred_ucounts to always use the real uid not the effective uid. Further simplify set_cred_ucounts by noticing that set_cred_ucounts somehow retained a draft version of the check to see if alloc_ucounts was needed that checks the new->user and new->user_ns against the current_real_cred(). Remove that draft version of the check. All that matters for setting the cred->ucounts are the user_ns and uid fields in the cred.

Any cred that is destined for use by commit_creds must have a non-NULL cred->ucounts field. Only curing credential construction is a NULL cred->ucounts valid. Only abort_creds, put_cred, and put_cred_rcu needs to deal with a cred with a NULL ucount. As set_cred_ucounts is non of those case don't confuse people by handling something that can not happen.

2021-10-20ucounts: Move get_ucounts from cred_alloc_blank to key_change_session_keyringEric W. Biederman
Setting cred->ucounts in cred_alloc_blank does not make sense. The uid and user_ns are deliberately not set in cred_alloc_blank but instead the setting is delayed until key_change_session_keyring. So move dealing with ucounts into key_change_session_keyring as well. Unfortunately that movement of get_ucounts adds a new failure mode to key_change_session_keyring. I do not see anything stopping the parent process from calling setuid and changing the relevant part of it's cred while keyctl_session_to_parent is running making it fundamentally necessary to call get_ucounts in key_change_session_keyring. Which means that the new failure mode cannot be avoided. A failure of key_change_session_keyring results in a single threaded parent keeping it's existing credentials. Which results in the parent process not being able to access the session keyring and whichever keys are in the new keyring. Further get_ucounts is only expected to fail if the number of bits in the refernece count for the structure is too few. Since the code has no other way to report the failure of get_ucounts and because such failures are not expected to be common add a WARN_ONCE to report this problem to userspace. Between the WARN_ONCE and the parent process not having access to the keys in the new session keyring I expect any failure of get_ucounts will be noticed and reported and we can find another way to handle this condition. (Possibly by just making ucounts->count an atomic_long_t).

2021-04-30Reimplement RLIMIT_NPROC on top of ucountsAlexey Gladkov
The rlimit counter is tied to uid in the user_namespace. This allows rlimit values to be specified in userns even if they are already globally exceeded by the user. However, the value of the previous user_namespaces cannot be exceeded. To illustrate the impact of rlimits, let's say there is a program that does not fork. Some service-A wants to run this program as user X in multiple containers. Since the program never fork the service wants to set RLIMIT_NPROC=1. service-A \- program (uid=1000, container1, rlimit_nproc=1) \- program (uid=1000, container2, rlimit_nproc=1) The service-A sets RLIMIT_NPROC=1 and runs the program in container1. When the service-A tries to run a program with RLIMIT_NPROC=1 in container2 it fails since user X already has one running process. We cannot use existing inc_ucounts / dec_ucounts because they do not allow us to exceed the maximum for the counter. Some rlimits can be overlimited by root or if the user has the appropriate capability.

2021-04-30Add a reference to ucounts for each credAlexey Gladkov
For RLIMIT_NPROC and some other rlimits the user_struct that holds the global limit is kept alive for the lifetime of a process by keeping it in struct cred. Adding a pointer to ucounts in the struct cred will allow to track RLIMIT_NPROC not only for user in the system, but for user in the user_namespace. Updating ucounts may require memory allocation which may fail. So, we cannot change cred.ucounts in the commit_creds() because this function cannot fail and it should always return 0. For this reason, we modify cred.ucounts before calling the commit_creds(). Changelog v6: * Fix null-ptr-deref in is_ucounts_overlimit() detected by trinity.

2020-05-20exec: Teach prepare_exec_creds how exec treats uids & gidsEric W. Biederman
It is almost possible to use the result of prepare_exec_creds with no modifications during exec. Update prepare_exec_creds to initialize the suid and the fsuid to the euid, and the sgid and the fsgid to the egid. This is all that is needed to handle the common case of exec when nothing special like a setuid exec is happening. That this preserves the existing behavior of exec can be verified by examing bprm_fill_uid and cap_bprm_set_creds. This change makes it clear that the later parts of exec that update bprm->cred are just need to handle special cases such as setuid exec and change of domains.

This leads to anomalies in key refcounting when doing, say, a kernel build on an afs volume, that then trigger kasan to report a use-after-free when the key is viewed in /proc/keys. Fix this by making exit_creds() look in the passed-in task_struct rather than in current (the task_struct cleanup code is deferred by RCU and potentially run in another task).

2020-01-04memcg: account security cred as well to kmemcgShakeel Butt
The cred_jar kmem_cache is already memcg accounted in the current kernel but cred->security is not. Account cred->security to kmemcg. Recently we saw high root slab usage on our production and on further inspection, we found a buggy application leaking processes. Though that buggy application was contained within its memcg but we observe much more system memory overhead, couple of GiBs, during that period. This overhead can adversely impact the isolation on the system. One source of high overhead we found was cred->security objects, which have a lifetime of at least the life of the process which allocated them.

2019-07-25Merge branch 'access-creds'Linus Torvalds
The access() (and faccessat()) credentials change can cause an unnecessary load on the RCU machinery because every access() call ends up freeing the temporary access credential using RCU. This isn't really noticeable on small machines, but if you have hundreds of cores you can cause huge slowdowns due to RCU storms. It's easy to avoid: the temporary access crededntials aren't actually normally accessed using RCU at all, so we can avoid the whole issue by just marking them as such. * access-creds: access: avoid the RCU grace period for the temporary subjective credentials
2019-07-24access: avoid the RCU grace period for the temporary subjective credentialsLinus Torvalds
It turns out that 'access()' (and 'faccessat()') can cause a lot of RCU work because it installs a temporary credential that gets allocated and freed for each system call. The allocation and freeing overhead is mostly benign, but because credentials can be accessed under the RCU read lock, the freeing involves a RCU grace period. Which is not a huge deal normally, but if you have a lot of access() calls, this causes a fair amount of seconday damage: instead of having a nice alloc/free patterns that hits in hot per-CPU slab caches, you have all those delayed free's, and on big machines with hundreds of cores, the RCU overhead can end up being enormous. But it turns out that all of this is entirely unnecessary. Exactly because access() only installs the credential as the thread-local subjective credential, the temporary cred pointer doesn't actually need to be RCU free'd at all. Once we're done using it, we can just free it synchronously and avoid all the RCU overhead. So add a 'non_rcu' flag to 'struct cred', which can be set by users that know they only use it in non-RCU context (there are other potential users for this). We can make it a union with the rcu freeing list head that we need for the RCU case, so this doesn't need any extra storage. Note that this also makes 'get_current_cred()' clear the new non_rcu flag, in case we have filesystems that take a long-term reference to the cred and then expect the RCU delayed freeing afterwards. It's not entirely clear that this is required, but it makes for clear semantics: the subjective cred remains non-RCU as long as you only access it synchronously using the thread-local accessors, but you _can_ use it as a generic cred if you want to. It is possible that we should just remove the whole RCU markings for ->cred entirely. Only ->real_cred is really supposed to be accessed through RCU, and the long-term cred copies that nfs uses might want to explicitly re-enable RCU freeing if required, rather than have get_current_cred() do it implicitly. But this is a "minimal semantic changes" change for the immediate problem. Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2019-06-19keys: Cache result of request_key*() temporarily in task_structDavid Howells
If a filesystem uses keys to hold authentication tokens, then it needs a token for each VFS operation that might perform an authentication check - either by passing it to the server, or using to perform a check based on authentication data cached locally. For open files this isn't a problem, since the key should be cached in the file struct since it represents the subject performing operations on that file descriptor. During pathwalk, however, there isn't anywhere to cache the key, except perhaps in the nameidata struct - but that isn't exposed to the filesystems. Further, a pathwalk can incur a lot of operations, calling one or more of the following, for instance: ->lookup() ->permission() ->d_revalidate() ->d_automount() ->get_acl() ->getxattr() on each dentry/inode it encounters - and each one may need to call request_key(). And then, at the end of pathwalk, it will call the actual operation: ->mkdir() ->mknod() ->getattr() ->open() ... which may need to go and get the token again. However, it is very likely that all of the operations on a single dentry/inode - and quite possibly a sequence of them - will all want to use the same authentication token, which suggests that caching it would be a good idea. To this end: (1) Make it so that a positive result of request_key() and co. that didn't require upcalling to userspace is cached temporarily in task_struct. (2) The cache is 1 deep, so a new result displaces the old one. (3) The key is released by exit and by notify-resume. (4) The cache is cleared in a newly forked process.

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to memcg.

This is the most tedious part, because most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method. The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects. Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in fact).

2015-04-15kernel: conditionally support non-root users, groups and capabilitiesIulia Manda
There are a lot of embedded systems that run most or all of their functionality in init, running as root:root. For these systems, supporting multiple users is not necessary. This patch adds a new symbol, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes support for non-root users, non-root groups, and capabilities optional. It is enabled under CONFIG_EXPERT menu. When this symbol is not defined, UID and GID are zero in any possible case and processes always have all capabilities. The following syscalls are compiled out: setuid, setregid, setgid, setreuid, setresuid, getresuid, setresgid, getresgid, setgroups, getgroups, setfsuid, setfsgid, capget, capset. Also, groups.c is compiled out completely. In kernel/capability.c, capable function was moved in order to avoid adding two ifdef blocks. This change saves about 25 KB on a defconfig build. The most minimal kernels have total text sizes in the high hundreds of kB rather than low MB. (The 25k goes down a bit with allnoconfig, but not that much. The kernel was booted in Qemu. All the common functionalities work. Adding users/groups is not possible, failing with -ENOSYS.

2012-10-02KEYS: Make the session and process keyrings per-threadDavid Howells
Make the session keyring per-thread rather than per-process, but still inherited from the parent thread to solve a problem with PAM and gdm. The problem is that join_session_keyring() will reject attempts to change the session keyring of a multithreaded program but gdm is now multithreaded before it gets to the point of starting PAM and running pam_keyinit to create the session keyring. See: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49211 The reason that join_session_keyring() will only change the session keyring under a single-threaded environment is that it's hard to alter the other thread's credentials to effect the change in a multi-threaded program. The problems are such as: (1) How to prevent two threads both running join_session_keyring() from racing. (2) Another thread's credentials may not be modified directly by this process. (3) The number of threads is uncertain whilst we're not holding the appropriate spinlock, making preallocation slightly tricky. (4) We could use TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME and key_replace_session_keyring() to get another thread to replace its keyring, but that means preallocating for each thread. A reasonable way around this is to make the session keyring per-thread rather than per-process and just document that if you want a common session keyring, you must get it before you spawn any threads - which is the current situation anyway. Whilst we're at it, we can the process keyring behave in the same way. This means we can clean up some of the ickyness in the creds code. Basically, after this patch, the session, process and thread keyrings are about inheritance rules only and not about sharing changes of keyring.
