      KEYS: Reduce initial permissions on keys · 96b5c8fe
      David Howells 提交于
      Reduce the initial permissions on new keys to grant the possessor everything,
      view permission only to the user (so the keys can be seen in /proc/keys) and
      nothing else.
      
      This gives the creator a chance to adjust the permissions mask before other
      processes can access the new key or create a link to it.
      
      To aid with this, keyring_alloc() now takes a permission argument rather than
      setting the permissions itself.
      
      The following permissions are now set:
      
       (1) The user and user-session keyrings grant the user that owns them full
           permissions and grant a possessor everything bar SETATTR.
      
       (2) The process and thread keyrings grant the possessor full permissions but
           only grant the user VIEW.  This permits the user to see them in
           /proc/keys, but not to do anything with them.
      
       (3) Anonymous session keyrings grant the possessor full permissions, but only
           grant the user VIEW and READ.  This means that the user can see them in
           /proc/keys and can list them, but nothing else.  Possibly READ shouldn't
           be provided either.
      
       (4) Named session keyrings grant everything an anonymous session keyring does,
           plus they grant the user LINK permission.  The whole point of named
           session keyrings is that others can also subscribe to them.  Possibly this
           should be a separate permission to LINK.
      
       (5) The temporary session keyring created by call_sbin_request_key() gets the
           same permissions as an anonymous session keyring.
      
       (6) Keys created by add_key() get VIEW, SEARCH, LINK and SETATTR for the
           possessor, plus READ and/or WRITE if the key type supports them.  The used
           only gets VIEW now.
      
       (7) Keys created by request_key() now get the same as those created by
           add_key().

      KEYS: Make the session and process keyrings per-thread · 3a50597d
      David Howells 提交于
      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.

      KEYS/DNS: Fix ____call_usermodehelper() to not lose the session keyring · 87966996
      David Howells 提交于
      ____call_usermodehelper() now erases any credentials set by the
      subprocess_inf::init() function.  The problem is that commit
      17f60a7d ("capabilites: allow the application of capability limits
      to usermode helpers") creates and commits new credentials with
      prepare_kernel_cred() after the call to the init() function.  This wipes
      all keyrings after umh_keys_init() is called.
      
      The best way to deal with this is to put the init() call just prior to
      the commit_creds() call, and pass the cred pointer to init().  That
      means that umh_keys_init() and suchlike can modify the credentials
      _before_ they are published and potentially in use by the rest of the
      system.
      
      This prevents request_key() from working as it is prevented from passing
      the session keyring it set up with the authorisation token to
      /sbin/request-key, and so the latter can't assume the authority to
      instantiate the key.  This causes the in-kernel DNS resolver to fail
      with ENOKEY unconditionally.

      KEYS: Improve /proc/keys · 78b7280c
      David Howells 提交于
      Improve /proc/keys by:
      
       (1) Don't attempt to summarise the payload of a negated key.  It won't have
           one.  To this end, a helper function - key_is_instantiated() has been
           added that allows the caller to find out whether the key is positively
           instantiated (as opposed to being uninstantiated or negatively
           instantiated).
      
       (2) Do show keys that are negative, expired or revoked rather than hiding
           them.  This requires an override flag (no_state_check) to be passed to
           search_my_process_keyrings() and keyring_search_aux() to suppress this
           check.
      
           Without this, keys that are possessed by the caller, but only grant
           permissions to the caller if possessed are skipped as the possession check
           fails.
      
           Keys that are visible due to user, group or other checks are visible with
           or without this patch.

      KEYS: Fix __key_link_end() quota fixup on error · ceb73c12
      David Howells 提交于
      Fix __key_link_end()'s attempt to fix up the quota if an error occurs.
      
      There are two erroneous cases: Firstly, we always decrease the quota if
      the preallocated replacement keyring needs cleaning up, irrespective of
      whether or not we should (we may have replaced a pointer rather than
      adding another pointer).
      
      Secondly, we never clean up the quota if we added a pointer without the
      keyring storage being extended (we allocate multiple pointers at a time,
      even if we're not going to use them all immediately).
      
      We handle this by setting the bottom bit of the preallocation pointer in
      __key_link_begin() to indicate that the quota needs fixing up, which is
      then passed to __key_link() (which clears the whole thing) and
      __key_link_end().

      KEYS: call_sbin_request_key() must write lock keyrings before modifying them · 896903c2
      David Howells 提交于
      call_sbin_request_key() creates a keyring and then attempts to insert a link to
      the authorisation key into that keyring, but does so without holding a write
      lock on the keyring semaphore.
      
      It will normally get away with this because it hasn't told anyone that the
      keyring exists yet.  The new keyring, however, has had its serial number
      published, which means it can be accessed directly by that handle.
      
      This was found by a previous patch that adds RCU lockdep checks to the code
      that reads the keyring payload pointer, which includes a check that the keyring
      semaphore is actually locked.
      
      Without this patch, the following command:
      
      	keyctl request2 user b a @s
      
      will provoke the following lockdep warning is displayed in dmesg:

      keys: the request_key() syscall should link an existing key to the dest keyring · 03449cd9
      David Howells 提交于
      The request_key() system call and request_key_and_link() should make a
      link from an existing key to the destination keyring (if supplied), not
      just from a new key to the destination keyring.
      
      This can be tested by:
      
      	ring=`keyctl newring fred @s`
      	keyctl request2 user debug:a a
      	keyctl request user debug:a $ring
      	keyctl list $ring
      
      If it says:
      
      	keyring is empty
      
      then it didn't work.  If it shows something like:
      
      	1 key in keyring:
      	1070462727: --alswrv     0     0 user: debug:a
      
      then it did.
      
      request_key() system call is meant to recursively search all your keyrings for
      the key you desire, and, optionally, if it doesn't exist, call out to userspace
      to create one for you.
      
      If request_key() finds or creates a key, it should, optionally, create a link
      to that key from the destination keyring specified.
      
      Therefore, if, after a successful call to request_key() with a desination
      keyring specified, you see the destination keyring empty, the code didn't work
      correctly.
      
      If you see the found key in the keyring, then it did - which is what the patch
      is required for.

      keys: Handle there being no fallback destination keyring for request_key() · 34574dd1
      David Howells 提交于
      When request_key() is called, without there being any standard process
      keyrings on which to fall back if a destination keyring is not specified, an
      oops is liable to occur when construct_alloc_key() calls down_write() on
      dest_keyring's semaphore.
      
      Due to function inlining this may be seen as an oops in down_write() as called
      from request_key_and_link().
      
      This situation crops up during boot, where request_key() is called from within
      the kernel (such as in CIFS mounts) where nobody is actually logged in, and so
      PAM has not had a chance to create a session keyring and user keyrings to act
      as the fallback.
      
      To fix this, make construct_alloc_key() not attempt to cache a key if there is
      no fallback key if no destination keyring is given specifically.

      CRED: Inaugurate COW credentials · d84f4f99
      David Howells 提交于
      Inaugurate copy-on-write credentials management.  This uses RCU to manage the
      credentials pointer in the task_struct with respect to accesses by other tasks.
      A process may only modify its own credentials, and so does not need locking to
      access or modify its own credentials.
      
      A mutex (cred_replace_mutex) is added to the task_struct to control the effect
      of PTRACE_ATTACHED on credential calculations, particularly with respect to
      execve().
      
      With this patch, the contents of an active credentials struct may not be
      changed directly; rather a new set of credentials must be prepared, modified
      and committed using something like the following sequence of events:
      
      	struct cred *new = prepare_creds();
      	int ret = blah(new);
      	if (ret < 0) {
      		abort_creds(new);
      		return ret;
      	}
      	return commit_creds(new);
      
      There are some exceptions to this rule: the keyrings pointed to by the active
      credentials may be instantiated - keyrings violate the COW rule as managing
      COW keyrings is tricky, given that it is possible for a task to directly alter
      the keys in a keyring in use by another task.
      
      To help enforce this, various pointers to sets of credentials, such as those in
      the task_struct, are declared const.  The purpose of this is compile-time
      discouragement of altering credentials through those pointers.  Once a set of
      credentials has been made public through one of these pointers, it may not be
      modified, except under special circumstances:
      
        (1) Its reference count may incremented and decremented.
      
        (2) The keyrings to which it points may be modified, but not replaced.
      
      The only safe way to modify anything else is to create a replacement and commit
      using the functions described in Documentation/credentials.txt (which will be
      added by a later patch).
      
      This patch and the preceding patches have been tested with the LTP SELinux
      testsuite.
      
      This patch makes several logical sets of alteration:
      
       (1) execve().
      
           This now prepares and commits credentials in various places in the
           security code rather than altering the current creds directly.
      
       (2) Temporary credential overrides.
      
           do_coredump() and sys_faccessat() now prepare their own credentials and
           temporarily override the ones currently on the acting thread, whilst
           preventing interference from other threads by holding cred_replace_mutex
           on the thread being dumped.
      
           This will be replaced in a future patch by something that hands down the
           credentials directly to the functions being called, rather than altering
           the task's objective credentials.
      
       (3) LSM interface.
      
           A number of functions have been changed, added or removed:
      
           (*) security_capset_check(), ->capset_check()
           (*) security_capset_set(), ->capset_set()
      
           	 Removed in favour of security_capset().
      
           (*) security_capset(), ->capset()
      
           	 New.  This is passed a pointer to the new creds, a pointer to the old
           	 creds and the proposed capability sets.  It should fill in the new
           	 creds or return an error.  All pointers, barring the pointer to the
           	 new creds, are now const.
      
           (*) security_bprm_apply_creds(), ->bprm_apply_creds()
      
           	 Changed; now returns a value, which will cause the process to be
           	 killed if it's an error.
      
           (*) security_task_alloc(), ->task_alloc_security()
      
           	 Removed in favour of security_prepare_creds().
      
           (*) security_cred_free(), ->cred_free()
      
           	 New.  Free security data attached to cred->security.
      
           (*) security_prepare_creds(), ->cred_prepare()
      
           	 New. Duplicate any security data attached to cred->security.
      
           (*) security_commit_creds(), ->cred_commit()
      
           	 New. Apply any security effects for the upcoming installation of new
           	 security by commit_creds().
      
           (*) security_task_post_setuid(), ->task_post_setuid()
      
           	 Removed in favour of security_task_fix_setuid().
      
           (*) security_task_fix_setuid(), ->task_fix_setuid()
      
           	 Fix up the proposed new credentials for setuid().  This is used by
           	 cap_set_fix_setuid() to implicitly adjust capabilities in line with
           	 setuid() changes.  Changes are made to the new credentials, rather
           	 than the task itself as in security_task_post_setuid().
      
           (*) security_task_reparent_to_init(), ->task_reparent_to_init()
      
           	 Removed.  Instead the task being reparented to init is referred
           	 directly to init's credentials.
      
      	 NOTE!  This results in the loss of some state: SELinux's osid no
      	 longer records the sid of the thread that forked it.
      
           (*) security_key_alloc(), ->key_alloc()
           (*) security_key_permission(), ->key_permission()
      
           	 Changed.  These now take cred pointers rather than task pointers to
           	 refer to the security context.
      
       (4) sys_capset().
      
           This has been simplified and uses less locking.  The LSM functions it
           calls have been merged.
      
       (5) reparent_to_kthreadd().
      
           This gives the current thread the same credentials as init by simply using
           commit_thread() to point that way.
      
       (6) __sigqueue_alloc() and switch_uid()
      
           __sigqueue_alloc() can't stop the target task from changing its creds
           beneath it, so this function gets a reference to the currently applicable
           user_struct which it then passes into the sigqueue struct it returns if
           successful.
      
           switch_uid() is now called from commit_creds(), and possibly should be
           folded into that.  commit_creds() should take care of protecting
           __sigqueue_alloc().
      
       (7) [sg]et[ug]id() and co and [sg]et_current_groups.
      
           The set functions now all use prepare_creds(), commit_creds() and
           abort_creds() to build and check a new set of credentials before applying
           it.
      
           security_task_set[ug]id() is called inside the prepared section.  This
           guarantees that nothing else will affect the creds until we've finished.
      
           The calling of set_dumpable() has been moved into commit_creds().
      
           Much of the functionality of set_user() has been moved into
           commit_creds().
      
           The get functions all simply access the data directly.
      
       (8) security_task_prctl() and cap_task_prctl().
      
           security_task_prctl() has been modified to return -ENOSYS if it doesn't
           want to handle a function, or otherwise return the return value directly
           rather than through an argument.
      
           Additionally, cap_task_prctl() now prepares a new set of credentials, even
           if it doesn't end up using it.
      
       (9) Keyrings.
      
           A number of changes have been made to the keyrings code:
      
           (a) switch_uid_keyring(), copy_keys(), exit_keys() and suid_keys() have
           	 all been dropped and built in to the credentials functions directly.
           	 They may want separating out again later.
      
           (b) key_alloc() and search_process_keyrings() now take a cred pointer
           	 rather than a task pointer to specify the security context.
      
           (c) copy_creds() gives a new thread within the same thread group a new
           	 thread keyring if its parent had one, otherwise it discards the thread
           	 keyring.
      
           (d) The authorisation key now points directly to the credentials to extend
           	 the search into rather pointing to the task that carries them.
      
           (e) Installing thread, process or session keyrings causes a new set of
           	 credentials to be created, even though it's not strictly necessary for
           	 process or session keyrings (they're shared).
      
      (10) Usermode helper.
      
           The usermode helper code now carries a cred struct pointer in its
           subprocess_info struct instead of a new session keyring pointer.  This set
           of credentials is derived from init_cred and installed on the new process
           after it has been cloned.
      
           call_usermodehelper_setup() allocates the new credentials and
           call_usermodehelper_freeinfo() discards them if they haven't been used.  A
           special cred function (prepare_usermodeinfo_creds()) is provided
           specifically for call_usermodehelper_setup() to call.
      
           call_usermodehelper_setkeys() adjusts the credentials to sport the
           supplied keyring as the new session keyring.
      
      (11) SELinux.
      
           SELinux has a number of changes, in addition to those to support the LSM
           interface changes mentioned above:
      
           (a) selinux_setprocattr() no longer does its check for whether the
           	 current ptracer can access processes with the new SID inside the lock
           	 that covers getting the ptracer's SID.  Whilst this lock ensures that
           	 the check is done with the ptracer pinned, the result is only valid
           	 until the lock is released, so there's no point doing it inside the
           	 lock.
      
      (12) is_single_threaded().
      
           This function has been extracted from selinux_setprocattr() and put into
           a file of its own in the lib/ directory as join_session_keyring() now
           wants to use it too.
      
           The code in SELinux just checked to see whether a task shared mm_structs
           with other tasks (CLONE_VM), but that isn't good enough.  We really want
           to know if they're part of the same thread group (CLONE_THREAD).
      
      (13) nfsd.
      
           The NFS server daemon now has to use the COW credentials to set the
           credentials it is going to use.  It really needs to pass the credentials
           down to the functions it calls, but it can't do that until other patches
           in this series have been applied.

      KEYS: Alter use of key instantiation link-to-keyring argument · 8bbf4976
      David Howells 提交于
      Alter the use of the key instantiation and negation functions' link-to-keyring
      arguments.  Currently this specifies a keyring in the target process to link
      the key into, creating the keyring if it doesn't exist.  This, however, can be
      a problem for copy-on-write credentials as it means that the instantiating
      process can alter the credentials of the requesting process.
      
      This patch alters the behaviour such that:
      
       (1) If keyctl_instantiate_key() or keyctl_negate_key() are given a specific
           keyring by ID (ringid >= 0), then that keyring will be used.
      
       (2) If keyctl_instantiate_key() or keyctl_negate_key() are given one of the
           special constants that refer to the requesting process's keyrings
           (KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING, all <= 0), then:
      
           (a) If sys_request_key() was given a keyring to use (destringid) then the
           	 key will be attached to that keyring.
      
           (b) If sys_request_key() was given a NULL keyring, then the key being
           	 instantiated will be attached to the default keyring as set by
           	 keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring().
      
       (3) No extra link will be made.
      
      Decision point (1) follows current behaviour, and allows those instantiators
      who've searched for a specifically named keyring in the requestor's keyring so
      as to partition the keys by type to still have their named keyrings.
      
      Decision point (2) allows the requestor to make sure that the key or keys that
      get produced by request_key() go where they want, whilst allowing the
      instantiator to request that the key is retained.  This is mainly useful for
      situations where the instantiator makes a secondary request, the key for which
      should be retained by the initial requestor:
      
      	+-----------+        +--------------+        +--------------+
      	|           |        |              |        |              |
      	| Requestor |------->| Instantiator |------->| Instantiator |
      	|           |        |              |        |              |
      	+-----------+        +--------------+        +--------------+
      	           request_key()           request_key()
      
      This might be useful, for example, in Kerberos, where the requestor requests a
      ticket, and then the ticket instantiator requests the TGT, which someone else
      then has to go and fetch.  The TGT, however, should be retained in the
      keyrings of the requestor, not the first instantiator.  To make this explict
      an extra special keyring constant is also added.

      sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
      addressed by later patches.

      KEYS: Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous · 76181c13
      David Howells 提交于
      Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous to make it easier for
      NFS to make use of them.  There are now accessor functions that do
      asynchronous constructions, a wait function to wait for construction to
      complete, and a completion function for the key type to indicate completion
      of construction.
      
      Note that the construction queue is now gone.  Instead, keys under
      construction are linked in to the appropriate keyring in advance, and that
      anyone encountering one must wait for it to be complete before they can use
      it.  This is done automatically for userspace.
      
      The following auxiliary changes are also made:
      
       (1) Key type implementation stuff is split from linux/key.h into
           linux/key-type.h.
      
       (2) AF_RXRPC provides a way to allocate null rxrpc-type keys so that AFS does
           not need to call key_instantiate_and_link() directly.
      
       (3) Adjust the debugging macros so that they're -Wformat checked even if
           they are disabled, and make it so they can be enabled simply by defining
           __KDEBUG to be consistent with other code of mine.
      
       (3) Documentation.

      usermodehelper: Tidy up waiting · 86313c48
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Rather than using a tri-state integer for the wait flag in
      call_usermodehelper_exec, define a proper enum, and use that.  I've
      preserved the integer values so that any callers I've missed should
      still work OK.

      [PATCH] keys: Permit running process to instantiate keys · b5f545c8
      David Howells 提交于
      Make it possible for a running process (such as gssapid) to be able to
      instantiate a key, as was requested by Trond Myklebust for NFS4.
      
      The patch makes the following changes:
      
       (1) A new, optional key type method has been added. This permits a key type
           to intercept requests at the point /sbin/request-key is about to be
           spawned and do something else with them - passing them over the
           rpc_pipefs files or netlink sockets for instance.
      
           The uninstantiated key, the authorisation key and the intended operation
           name are passed to the method.
      
       (2) The callout_info is no longer passed as an argument to /sbin/request-key
           to prevent unauthorised viewing of this data using ps or by looking in
           /proc/pid/cmdline.
      
           This means that the old /sbin/request-key program will not work with the
           patched kernel as it will expect to see an extra argument that is no
           longer there.
      
           A revised keyutils package will be made available tomorrow.
      
       (3) The callout_info is now attached to the authorisation key. Reading this
           key will retrieve the information.
      
       (4) A new field has been added to the task_struct. This holds the
           authorisation key currently active for a thread. Searches now look here
           for the caller's set of keys rather than looking for an auth key in the
           lowest level of the session keyring.
      
           This permits a thread to be servicing multiple requests at once and to
           switch between them. Note that this is per-thread, not per-process, and
           so is usable in multithreaded programs.
      
           The setting of this field is inherited across fork and exec.
      
       (5) A new keyctl function (KEYCTL_ASSUME_AUTHORITY) has been added that
           permits a thread to assume the authority to deal with an uninstantiated
           key. Assumption is only permitted if the authorisation key associated
           with the uninstantiated key is somewhere in the thread's keyrings.
      
           This function can also clear the assumption.
      
       (6) A new magic key specifier has been added to refer to the currently
           assumed authorisation key (KEY_SPEC_REQKEY_AUTH_KEY).
      
       (7) Instantiation will only proceed if the appropriate authorisation key is
           assumed first. The assumed authorisation key is discarded if
           instantiation is successful.
      
       (8) key_validate() is moved from the file of request_key functions to the
           file of permissions functions.
      
       (9) The documentation is updated.
