Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 3/3] proc: protect ptrace_may_access() with exec_update_lock (part 1)
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 07:18:34 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717111835.1574543-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717111835.1574543-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 6650527444dadc63d84aa939d14ecba4fadb2f69 ]

Fix the easy cases where procfs currently calls ptrace_may_access() without
exec_update_lock protection, where the fix is to simply add the extra lock
or use mm_access():

 - do_task_stat(): grab exec_update_lock
 - proc_pid_wchan(): grab exec_update_lock
 - proc_map_files_lookup(): use mm_access() instead of get_task_mm()
 - proc_map_files_readdir(): use mm_access() instead of get_task_mm()
 - proc_ns_get_link(): grab exec_update_lock
 - proc_ns_readlink(): grab exec_update_lock

Fixes: f83ce3e6b02d ("proc: avoid information leaks to non-privileged processes")
