umount: Disallow unprivileged mount force

2015-01-08T17:58:16+00:00

commit b2f5d4dc38e034eecb7987e513255265ff9aa1cf upstream.

Forced unmount affects not just the mount namespace but the underlying
superblock as well.  Restrict forced unmount to the global root user
for now.  Otherwise it becomes possible a user in a less privileged
mount namespace to force the shutdown of a superblock of a filesystem
in a more privileged mount namespace, allowing a DOS attack on root.

mnt: Implicitly add MNT_NODEV on remount when it was implicitly added by mount

2015-01-08T17:58:16+00:00

commit 3e1866410f11356a9fd869beb3e95983dc79c067 upstream.

Now that remount is properly enforcing the rule that you can't remove
nodev at least sandstorm.io is breaking when performing a remount.

It turns out that there is an easy intuitive solution implicitly
add nodev on remount when nodev was implicitly added on mount.

mnt: Prevent pivot_root from creating a loop in the mount tree

2014-11-14T16:47:55+00:00

commit 0d0826019e529f21c84687521d03f60cd241ca7d upstream.

Andy Lutomirski recently demonstrated that when chroot is used to set
the root path below the path for the new ``root'' passed to pivot_root
the pivot_root system call succeeds and leaks mounts.

In examining the code I see that starting with a new root that is
below the current root in the mount tree will result in a loop in the
mount tree after the mounts are detached and then reattached to one
another.  Resulting in all kinds of ugliness including a leak of that
mounts involved in the leak of the mount loop.

Prevent this problem by ensuring that the new mount is reachable from
the current root of the mount tree.

[Added stable cc.  Fixes CVE-2014-7970.  --Andy]

fs: Add a missing permission check to do_umount

2014-10-30T16:35:09+00:00

commit a1480dcc3c706e309a88884723446f2e84fedd5b upstream.

Accessing do_remount_sb should require global CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but
only one of the two call sites was appropriately protected.

Fixes CVE-2014-7975.

mnt: Change the default remount atime from relatime to the existing value

2014-09-17T16:04:00+00:00

commit ffbc6f0ead47fa5a1dc9642b0331cb75c20a640e upstream.

Since March 2009 the kernel has treated the state that if no
MS_..ATIME flags are passed then the kernel defaults to relatime.

Defaulting to relatime instead of the existing atime state during a
remount is silly, and causes problems in practice for people who don't
specify any MS_...ATIME flags and to get the default filesystem atime
setting.  Those users may encounter a permission error because the
default atime setting does not work.

A default that does not work and causes permission problems is
ridiculous, so preserve the existing value to have a default
atime setting that is always guaranteed to work.

Using the default atime setting in this way is particularly
interesting for applications built to run in restricted userspace
environments without /proc mounted, as the existing atime mount
options of a filesystem can not be read from /proc/mounts.

In practice this fixes user space that uses the default atime
setting on remount that are broken by the permission checks
keeping less privileged users from changing more privileged users
atime settings.

mnt: Correct permission checks in do_remount

2014-09-17T16:04:00+00:00

commit 9566d6742852c527bf5af38af5cbb878dad75705 upstream.

While invesgiating the issue where in "mount --bind -oremount,ro ..."
would result in later "mount --bind -oremount,rw" succeeding even if
the mount started off locked I realized that there are several
additional mount flags that should be locked and are not.

In particular MNT_NOSUID, MNT_NODEV, MNT_NOEXEC, and the atime
flags in addition to MNT_READONLY should all be locked.  These
flags are all per superblock, can all be changed with MS_BIND,
and should not be changable if set by a more privileged user.

The following additions to the current logic are added in this patch.
- nosuid may not be clearable by a less privileged user.
- nodev  may not be clearable by a less privielged user.
- noexec may not be clearable by a less privileged user.
- atime flags may not be changeable by a less privileged user.

The logic with atime is that always setting atime on access is a
global policy and backup software and auditing software could break if
atime bits are not updated (when they are configured to be updated),
and serious performance degradation could result (DOS attack) if atime
updates happen when they have been explicitly disabled.  Therefore an
unprivileged user should not be able to mess with the atime bits set
by a more privileged user.

The additional restrictions are implemented with the addition of
MNT_LOCK_NOSUID, MNT_LOCK_NODEV, MNT_LOCK_NOEXEC, and MNT_LOCK_ATIME
mnt flags.

Taken together these changes and the fixes for MNT_LOCK_READONLY
should make it safe for an unprivileged user to create a user
namespace and to call "mount --bind -o remount,... ..." without
the danger of mount flags being changed maliciously.

mnt: Move the test for MNT_LOCK_READONLY from change_mount_flags into do_remount

2014-09-17T16:04:00+00:00

commit 07b645589dcda8b7a5249e096fece2a67556f0f4 upstream.

There are no races as locked mount flags are guaranteed to never change.

Moving the test into do_remount makes it more visible, and ensures all
filesystem remounts pass the MNT_LOCK_READONLY permission check.  This
second case is not an issue today as filesystem remounts are guarded
by capable(CAP_DAC_ADMIN) and thus will always fail in less privileged
mount namespaces, but it could become an issue in the future.

mnt: Only change user settable mount flags in remount

2014-09-17T16:04:00+00:00

commit a6138db815df5ee542d848318e5dae681590fccd upstream.

Kenton Varda  discovered that by remounting a
read-only bind mount read-only in a user namespace the
MNT_LOCK_READONLY bit would be cleared, allowing an unprivileged user
to the remount a read-only mount read-write.

Correct this by replacing the mask of mount flags to preserve
with a mask of mount flags that may be changed, and preserve
all others.   This ensures that any future bugs with this mask and
remount will fail in an easy to detect way where new mount flags
simply won't change.

VFS: collect_mounts() should return an ERR_PTR

2013-08-29T16:47:35+00:00

commit 52e220d357a38cb29fa2e29f34ed94c1d66357f4 upstream.

This should actually be returning an ERR_PTR on error instead of NULL.
That was how it was designed and all the callers expect it.

[AV: actually, that's what "VFS: Make clone_mnt()/copy_tree()/collect_mounts()
return errors" missed - originally collect_mounts() was expected to return
NULL on failure]

create_mnt_ns: unidiomatic use of list_add()

2013-05-04T19:18:53+00:00

while list_add(A, B) and list_add(B, A) are equivalent when both A and B
are guaranteed to be empty, the usual idiom is list_add(what, where),
not the other way round...  Not a bug per se, but only by accident and
it makes RTFS harder for no good reason.
