[ Upstream commit 0d196e7589cefe207d5d41f37a0a28a1fdeeb7c6 ]
Both i_mode and noexec checks wrapped in WARN_ON stem from an artifact
of the previous implementation. They used to legitimately check for the
condition, but that got moved up in two commits:
633fb6ac3980 ("exec: move S_ISREG() check earlier")
0fd338b2d2cd ("exec: move path_noexec() check earlier")
Instead of being removed said checks are WARN_ON'ed instead, which
has some debug value.
However, the spurious path_noexec check is racy, resulting in
unwarranted warnings should someone race with setting the noexec flag.
One can note there is more to perm-checking whether execve is allowed
and none of the conditions are guaranteed to still hold after they were
tested for.
Additionally this does not validate whether the code path did any perm
checking to begin with -- it will pass if the inode happens to be
regular.
Keep the redundant path_noexec() check even though it's mindless
nonsense checking for guarantee that isn't given so drop the WARN.
Reword the commentary and do small tidy ups while here.

commit f50733b45d865f91db90919f8311e2127ce5a0cb upstream.
When opening a file for exec via do_filp_open(), permission checking is
done against the file's metadata at that moment, and on success, a file
pointer is passed back. Much later in the execve() code path, the file
metadata (specifically mode, uid, and gid) is used to determine if/how
to set the uid and gid. However, those values may have changed since the
permissions check, meaning the execution may gain unintended privileges.
For example, if a file could change permissions from executable and not
set-id:
---------x 1 root root 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
to set-id and non-executable:
---S------ 1 root root 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
it is possible to gain root privileges when execution should have been
disallowed.
While this race condition is rare in real-world scenarios, it has been
observed (and proven exploitable) when package managers are updating
the setuid bits of installed programs. Such files start with being
world-executable but then are adjusted to be group-exec with a set-uid
bit. For example, "chmod o-x,u+s target" makes "target" executable only
by uid "root" and gid "cdrom", while also becoming setuid-root:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root cdrom 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
becomes:
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
But racing the chmod means users without group "cdrom" membership can
get the permission to execute "target" just before the chmod, and when
the chmod finishes, the exec reaches brpm_fill_uid(), and performs the
setuid to root, violating the expressed authorization of "only cdrom
group members can setuid to root".
Re-check that we still have execute permissions in case the metadata
has changed. It would be better to keep a copy from the perm-check time,
but until we can do that refactoring, the least-bad option is to do a
full inode_permission() call (under inode lock). It is understood that
this is safe against dead-locks, but hardly optimal.

Now that exec no longer needs to return the unshared files to their
previous value there is no reason to return displaced.
Instead when unshare_fd creates a copy of the file table, call
put_files_struct before returning from unshare_files.

[ Upstream commit b6043501289ebf169ae19b810a882d517377302f ]
Many moons ago the binfmts were doing some very questionable things
with file descriptors and an unsharing of the file descriptor table
was added to make things better[1][2]. The helper steal_lockss was
added to avoid breaking the userspace programs[3][4][6].
Unfortunately it turned out that steal_locks did not work for network
file systems[5], so it was removed to see if anyone would
complain[7][8]. It was thought at the time that NPTL would not be
affected as the unshare_files happened after the other threads were
killed[8]. Unfortunately because there was an unshare_files in
binfmt_elf.c before the threads were killed this analysis was
incorrect.
This unshare_files in binfmt_elf.c resulted in the unshares_files
happening whenever threads were present. Which led to unshare_files
being moved to the start of do_execve[9].
Later the problems were rediscovered and the suggested approach was to
readd steal_locks under a different name[10]. I happened to be
reviewing patches and I noticed that this approach was a step
backwards[11].
I proposed simply moving unshare_files[12] and it was pointed
out that moving unshare_files without auditing the code was
also unsafe[13].
There were then several attempts to solve this[14][15][16] and I even
posted this set of changes[17]. Unfortunately because auditing all of
execve is time consuming this change did not make it in at the time.
Well now that I am cleaning up exec I have made the time to read
through all of the binfmts and the only playing with file descriptors
is either the security modules closing them in
security_bprm_committing_creds or is in the generic code in fs/exec.c.
None of it happens before begin_new_exec is called.
So move unshare_files into begin_new_exec, after the point of no
return. If memory is very very very low and the application calling
exec is sharing file descriptor tables between processes we might fail
past the point of no return. Which is unfortunate but no different
than any of the other places where we allocate memory after the point
of no return.
This movement allows another process that shares the file table, or
another thread of the same process and that closes files or changes
their close on exec behavior and races with execve to cause some
unexpected things to happen. There is only one time of check to time
of use race and it is just there so that execve fails instead of
an interpreter failing when it tries to open the file it is supposed
to be interpreting. Failing later if userspace is being silly is
not a problem.
With this change it the following discription from the removal
of steal_locks[8] finally becomes true.
Apps using NPTL are not affected, since all other threads are killed before
execve.
Apps using LinuxThreads are only affected if they
- have multiple threads during exec (LinuxThreads doesn't kill other
threads, the app may do it with pthread_kill_other_threads_np())
- rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec
Both conditions are documented, but not their interaction.
Apps using clone() natively are affected if they
- use clone(CLONE_FILES)
- rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec
I have investigated some paths to make it possible to solve this
without moving unshare_files but they all look more complicated[18].

Al Viro pointed out that using the phrase "close_on_exec(fd,
rcu_dereference_raw(current->files->fdt))" instead of wrapping it in
rcu_read_lock(), rcu_read_unlock() is a very questionable
optimization[1].
Once wrapped with rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() that phrase
becomes equivalent the helper function get_close_on_exec so
simplify the code and make it more robust by simply using
get_close_on_exec.

commit 2aea94ac14d1e0a8ae9e34febebe208213ba72f7 upstream.
In NOMMU kernel the value of linux_binprm::p is the offset inside the
temporary program arguments array maintained in separate pages in the
linux_binprm::page. linux_binprm::exec being a copy of linux_binprm::p
thus must be adjusted when that array is copied to the user stack.
Without that adjustment the value passed by the NOMMU kernel to the ELF
program in the AT_EXECFN entry of the aux array doesn't make any sense
and it may break programs that try to access memory pointed to by that
entry.
Adjust linux_binprm::exec before the successful return from the
transfer_args_to_stack().

If get_unused_fd_flags() fails, the error handling is incomplete because
bprm->cred is already set to NULL, and therefore free_bprm will not
unlock the cred_guard_mutex. Note there are two error conditions which
end up here, one before and one after bprm->cred is cleared.
