      "message": "[PATCH] Fix prctl privilege escalation and suid_dumpable (CVE-2006-2451)\n\nBased on a patch from Ernie Petrides\n\nDuring security research, Red Hat discovered a behavioral flaw in core\ndump handling. A local user could create a program that would cause a\ncore file to be dumped into a directory they would not normally have\npermissions to write to. This could lead to a denial of service (disk\nconsumption), or allow the local user to gain root privileges.\n\nThe prctl() system call should never allow to set \"dumpable\" to the\nvalue 2. Especially not for non-privileged users.\n\nThis can be split into three cases:\n\n  1) running as root -- then core dumps will already be done as root,\n     and so prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 2) is not useful\n\n  2) running as non-root w/setuid-to-root -- this is the debatable case\n\n  3) running as non-root w/setuid-to-non-root -- then you definitely\n     do NOT want \"dumpable\" to get set to 2 because you have the\n     privilege escalation vulnerability\n\nWith case #2, the only potential usefulness is for a program that has\ndesigned to run with higher privilege (than the user invoking it) that\nwants to be able to create root-owned root-validated core dumps. This\nmight be useful as a debugging aid, but would only be safe if the program\nhad done a chdir() to a safe directory.\n\nThere is no benefit to a production setuid-to-root utility, because it\nshouldn\u0027t be dumping core in the first place. If this is true, then the\nsame debugging aid could also be accomplished with the \"suid_dumpable\"\nsysctl.\n\nSigned-off-by: Marcel Holtmann \u003cmarcel@holtmann.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n"

      "message": "[PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes\n\nThe kernel\u0027s implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no\nprotection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the\nchain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:\n\n    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l\u003dlinux-kernel\u0026m\u003d113018709002036\u0026w\u003d2\n\nWe noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage\nclasses:\n\n\t\"Blocking\" chains are always called from a process context\n\tand the callout routines are allowed to sleep;\n\n\t\"Atomic\" chains can be called from an atomic context and\n\tthe callout routines are not allowed to sleep.\n\nWe decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore\nthis set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking\nnotifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for \"raw\" notifiers (which is\nreally just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are\nused for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for\nregistration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are\nexplained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in\nkernel/sys.c.\n\nWith atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain\nlinks will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by\nentries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no\nguarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The\nidea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and\nblocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to\nhandle these things in their own way.)\n\nThere are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For\natomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in\na process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a\ncallout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister\nentries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code\nhad to be changed to avoid it.)\n\nSince atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use\nspinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost\nentirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much\nless frequent that calling a chain.\n\nHere is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None\nof them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.\n\n  ATOMIC CHAINS\n  -------------\narch/i386/kernel/traps.c:\t\ti386die_chain\narch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:\t\tia64die_chain\narch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:\t\tpowerpc_die_chain\narch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:\t\tsparc64die_chain\narch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:\t\tdie_chain\ndrivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:\txaction_notifier_list\nkernel/panic.c:\t\t\t\tpanic_notifier_list\nkernel/profile.c:\t\t\ttask_free_notifier\nnet/bluetooth/hci_core.c:\t\thci_notifier\nnet/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:\tip_conntrack_chain\nnet/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:\tip_conntrack_expect_chain\nnet/ipv6/addrconf.c:\t\t\tinet6addr_chain\nnet/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:\tnf_conntrack_chain\nnet/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:\tnf_conntrack_expect_chain\nnet/netlink/af_netlink.c:\t\tnetlink_chain\n\n  BLOCKING CHAINS\n  ---------------\narch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:\tpSeries_reconfig_chain\narch/s390/kernel/process.c:\t\tidle_chain\narch/x86_64/kernel/process.c\t\tidle_notifier\ndrivers/base/memory.c:\t\t\tmemory_chain\ndrivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c\t\tcpufreq_policy_notifier_list\ndrivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c\t\tcpufreq_transition_notifier_list\ndrivers/macintosh/adb.c:\t\tadb_client_list\ndrivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c\t\tsleep_notifier_list\ndrivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c\t\tsleep_notifier_list\ndrivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c\twf_client_list\ndrivers/usb/core/notify.c\t\tusb_notifier_list\ndrivers/video/fbmem.c\t\t\tfb_notifier_list\nkernel/cpu.c\t\t\t\tcpu_chain\nkernel/module.c\t\t\t\tmodule_notify_list\nkernel/profile.c\t\t\tmunmap_notifier\nkernel/profile.c\t\t\ttask_exit_notifier\nkernel/sys.c\t\t\t\treboot_notifier_list\nnet/core/dev.c\t\t\t\tnetdev_chain\nnet/decnet/dn_dev.c:\t\t\tdnaddr_chain\nnet/ipv4/devinet.c:\t\t\tinetaddr_chain\n\nIt\u0027s possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,\nplease let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that\ngets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking\nused for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.\n(However, if the chain\u0027s callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be\natomic.)\n\nThe patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating\nmaterial written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew\nMorton.\n\n[jes@sgi.com: restructure the notifier chain initialization macros]\nSigned-off-by: Alan Stern \u003cstern@rowland.harvard.edu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Chandra Seetharaman \u003csekharan@us.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Jes Sorensen \u003cjes@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n"

      "message": "[PATCH] Don\u0027t attempt to power off if power off is not implemented\n\nThe problem.  It is expected that /sbin/halt -p works exactly like\n/sbin/halt, when the kernel does not implement power off functionality.\n\nThe kernel can do a lot of work in the reboot notifiers and in\ndevice_shutdown before we even get to machine_power_off.  Some of that\nshutdown is not safe if you are leaving the power on, and it definitely\ngets in the way of using sysrq or pressing ctrl-alt-del.  Since the\nshutdown happens in generic code there is no way to fix this in\narchitecture specific code :(\n\nSome machines are kernel oopsing today because of this.\n\nThe simple solution is to turn LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF into\nLINUX_REBOOT_CMD_HALT if power_off functionality is not implemented.\n\nThis has the unfortunate side effect of disabling the power off\nfunctionality on architectures that leave pm_power_off to null and still\nimplement something in machine_power_off.  And it will break the build on\nsome architectures that don\u0027t have a pm_power_off variable at all.\n\nOn both counts I say tough.\n\nFor architectures like alpha that don\u0027t implement the pm_power_off variable\npm_power_off is declared in linux/pm.h and it is a generic part of our\npower management code, and all architectures should implement it.\n\nFor architectures like parisc that have a default power off method in\nmachine_power_off if pm_power_off is not implemented or fails.  It is easy\nenough to set the pm_power_off variable.  And nothing bad happens there,\nthe machines just stop powering off.\n\nThe current semantics are impossible without a flag at the top level so we\ncan avoid the problem code if a power off is not implemented.  pm_power_off\nis as good a flag as any with the bonus that it works without modification\non at least x86, x86_64, powerpc, and ppc today.\n\nAndrew can you pick this up and put this in the mm tree.  Kernels that\ndon\u0027t compile or don\u0027t power off seem saner than kernels that oops or\npanic.  Until we get the arch specific patches for the problem\narchitectures this probably isn\u0027t smart to push into the stable kernel.\nUnfortunately I don\u0027t have the time at the moment to walk through every\narchitecture and make them work.  And even if I did I couldn\u0027t test it :(\n\nFrom: Hirokazu Takata \u003ctakata@linux-m32r.org\u003e\n\n    Add pm_power_off() for build fix of arch/m32r/kernel/process.c.\n\nFrom: Miklos Szeredi \u003cmiklos@szeredi.hu\u003e\n\n    UML build fix\n\nSigned-off-by: Eric W.

This type of key cannot be\n     created by the user; nor can it be requested by kernel services.\n\n     Authorisation keys hold two references:\n\n     (a) Each refers to a key being constructed. When the key being\n     \t constructed is instantiated the authorisation key is revoked,\n     \t rendering it of no further use.\n\n     (b) The \"authorising process\". This is either:\n\n     \t (i) the process that called request_key(), or:\n\n     \t (ii) if the process that called request_key() itself had an\n     \t      authorisation key in its session keyring, then the authorising\n     \t      process referred to by that authorisation key will also be\n     \t      referred to by the new authorisation key.\n\n\t This means that the process that initiated a chain of key requests\n\t will authorise the lot of them, and will, by default, wind up with\n\t the keys obtained from them in its keyrings.\n\n (2) request_key() creates an authorisation key which is then passed to\n     /sbin/request-key in as part of a new session keyring.\n\n (3) When request_key() is searching for a key to hand back to the caller, if\n     it comes across an authorisation key in the session keyring of the\n     calling process, it will also search the keyrings of the process\n     specified therein and it will use the specified process\u0027s credentials\n     (fsuid, fsgid, groups) to do that rather than the calling process\u0027s\n     credentials.\n\n     This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to find keys belonging\n     to the authorising process.\n\n (4) A key can be read, even if the process executing KEYCTL_READ doesn\u0027t have\n     direct read or search permission if that key is contained within the\n     keyrings of a process specified by an authorisation key found within the\n     calling process\u0027s session keyring, and is searchable using the\n     credentials of the authorising process.\n\n     This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to read keys belonging\n     to the authorising process.\n\n (5) The magic KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING key IDs when passed to KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE or\n     KEYCTL_NEGATE will specify a keyring of the authorising process, rather\n     than the process doing the instantiation.\n\n (6) One of the process keyrings can be nominated as the default to which\n     request_key() should attach new keys if not otherwise specified. This is\n     done with KEYCTL_SET_REQKEY_KEYRING and one of the KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_*\n     constants. The current setting can also be read using this call.\n\n (7) request_key() is partially interruptible. If it is waiting for another\n     process to finish constructing a key, it can be interrupted. This permits\n     a request-key cycle to be broken without recourse to rebooting.\n\nSigned-Off-By: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-Off-By: Benoit Boissinot \u003cbenoit.boissinot@ens-lyon.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n"
