      mnt: Add a per mount namespace limit on the number of mounts · d2921684
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> pointed out that the semantics
      of shared subtrees make it possible to create an exponentially
      increasing number of mounts in a mount namespace.
      
          mkdir /tmp/1 /tmp/2
          mount --make-rshared /
          for i in $(seq 1 20) ; do mount --bind /tmp/1 /tmp/2 ; done
      
      Will create create 2^20 or 1048576 mounts, which is a practical problem
      as some people have managed to hit this by accident.
      
      As such CVE-2016-6213 was assigned.
      
      Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> described the situation for autofs users
      as follows:
      
      > The number of mounts for direct mount maps is usually not very large because of
      > the way they are implemented, large direct mount maps can have performance
      > problems. There can be anywhere from a few (likely case a few hundred) to less
      > than 10000, plus mounts that have been triggered and not yet expired.
      >
      > Indirect mounts have one autofs mount at the root plus the number of mounts that
      > have been triggered and not yet expired.
      >
      > The number of autofs indirect map entries can range from a few to the common
      > case of several thousand and in rare cases up to between 30000 and 50000. I've
      > not heard of people with maps larger than 50000 entries.
      >
      > The larger the number of map entries the greater the possibility for a large
      > number of active mounts so it's not hard to expect cases of a 1000 or somewhat
      > more active mounts.
      
      So I am setting the default number of mounts allowed per mount
      namespace at 100,000.  This is more than enough for any use case I
      know of, but small enough to quickly stop an exponential increase
      in mounts.  Which should be perfect to catch misconfigurations and
      malfunctioning programs.
      
      For anyone who needs a higher limit this can be changed by writing
      to the new /proc/sys/fs/mount-max sysctl.

      pipe: limit the per-user amount of pages allocated in pipes · 759c0114
      Willy Tarreau 提交于
      On no-so-small systems, it is possible for a single process to cause an
      OOM condition by filling large pipes with data that are never read. A
      typical process filling 4000 pipes with 1 MB of data will use 4 GB of
      memory. On small systems it may be tricky to set the pipe max size to
      prevent this from happening.
      
      This patch makes it possible to enforce a per-user soft limit above
      which new pipes will be limited to a single page, effectively limiting
      them to 4 kB each, as well as a hard limit above which no new pipes may
      be created for this user. This has the effect of protecting the system
      against memory abuse without hurting other users, and still allowing
      pipes to work correctly though with less data at once.
      
      The limit are controlled by two new sysctls : pipe-user-pages-soft, and
      pipe-user-pages-hard. Both may be disabled by setting them to zero. The
      default soft limit allows the default number of FDs per process (1024)
      to create pipes of the default size (64kB), thus reaching a limit of 64MB
      before starting to create only smaller pipes. With 256 processes limited
      to 1024 FDs each, this results in 1024*64kB + (256*1024 - 1024) * 4kB =
      1084 MB of memory allocated for a user. The hard limit is disabled by
      default to avoid breaking existing applications that make intensive use
      of pipes (eg: for splicing).

      fs: make dumpable=2 require fully qualified path · 9520628e
      Kees Cook 提交于
      When the suid_dumpable sysctl is set to "2", and there is no core dump
      pipe defined in the core_pattern sysctl, a local user can cause core files
      to be written to root-writable directories, potentially with
      user-controlled content.
      
      This means an admin can unknowningly reintroduce a variation of
      CVE-2006-2451, allowing local users to gain root privileges.
      
        $ cat /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable
        2
        $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
        core
        $ ulimit -c unlimited
        $ cd /
        $ ls -l core
        ls: cannot access core: No such file or directory
        $ touch core
        touch: cannot touch `core': Permission denied
        $ OHAI="evil-string-here" ping localhost >/dev/null 2>&1 &
        $ pid=$!
        $ sleep 1
        $ kill -SEGV $pid
        $ ls -l core
        -rw------- 1 root kees 458752 Jun 21 11:35 core
        $ sudo strings core | grep evil
        OHAI=evil-string-here
      
      While cron has been fixed to abort reading a file when there is any
      parse error, there are still other sensitive directories that will read
      any file present and skip unparsable lines.
      
      Instead of introducing a suid_dumpable=3 mode and breaking all users of
      mode 2, this only disables the unsafe portion of mode 2 (writing to disk
      via relative path).  Most users of mode 2 (e.g.  Chrome OS) already use
      a core dump pipe handler, so this change will not break them.  For the
      situations where a pipe handler is not defined but mode 2 is still
      active, crash dumps will only be written to fully qualified paths.  If a
      relative path is defined (e.g.  the default "core" pattern), dump
      attempts will trigger a printk yelling about the lack of a fully
      qualified path.

      fs: add link restrictions · 800179c9
      Kees Cook 提交于
      This adds symlink and hardlink restrictions to the Linux VFS.
      
      Symlinks:
      
      A long-standing class of security issues is the symlink-based
      time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in world-writable
      directories like /tmp. The common method of exploitation of this flaw
      is to cross privilege boundaries when following a given symlink (i.e. a
      root process follows a symlink belonging to another user). For a likely
      incomplete list of hundreds of examples across the years, please see:
      http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=/tmp
      
      The solution is to permit symlinks to only be followed when outside
      a sticky world-writable directory, or when the uid of the symlink and
      follower match, or when the directory owner matches the symlink's owner.
      
      Some pointers to the history of earlier discussion that I could find:

      Past objections and rebuttals could be summarized as:
      
       - Violates POSIX.
         - POSIX didn't consider this situation and it's not useful to follow
           a broken specification at the cost of security.
       - Might break unknown applications that use this feature.
         - Applications that break because of the change are easy to spot and
           fix. Applications that are vulnerable to symlink ToCToU by not having
           the change aren't. Additionally, no applications have yet been found
           that rely on this behavior.
       - Applications should just use mkstemp() or O_CREATE|O_EXCL.
         - True, but applications are not perfect, and new software is written
           all the time that makes these mistakes; blocking this flaw at the
           kernel is a single solution to the entire class of vulnerability.
       - This should live in the core VFS.
         - This should live in an LSM. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/31/135)
       - This should live in an LSM.
         - This should live in the core VFS. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/2/188)
      
      Hardlinks:
      
      On systems that have user-writable directories on the same partition
      as system files, a long-standing class of security issues is the
      hardlink-based time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in
      world-writable directories like /tmp. The common method of exploitation
      of this flaw is to cross privilege boundaries when following a given
      hardlink (i.e. a root process follows a hardlink created by another
      user). Additionally, an issue exists where users can "pin" a potentially
      vulnerable setuid/setgid file so that an administrator will not actually
      upgrade a system fully.
      
      The solution is to permit hardlinks to only be created when the user is
      already the existing file's owner, or if they already have read/write
      access to the existing file.
      
      Many Linux users are surprised when they learn they can link to files
      they have no access to, so this change appears to follow the doctrine
      of "least surprise". Additionally, this change does not violate POSIX,
      which states "the implementation may require that the calling process
      has permission to access the existing file"[1].
      
      This change is known to break some implementations of the "at" daemon,
      though the version used by Fedora and Ubuntu has been fixed[2] for
      a while. Otherwise, the change has been undisruptive while in use in
      Ubuntu for the last 1.5 years.

      This patch is based on the patches in Openwall and grsecurity, along with
      suggestions from Al Viro. I have added a sysctl to enable the protected
      behavior, and documentation.

      get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_open · 9cfe015a
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open
      more than 1024*1024 handles.
      
      Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high
      value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process.
      
      Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential
      exhaust.
      
      This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to
      1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload
      needs it.
