Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] exec: Use secureexec for setting dumpability
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2017 00:57:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1499673451-66160-4-git-send-email-keescook@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1499673451-66160-1-git-send-email-keescook@chromium.org>

The examination of "current" to decide dumpability is wrong. This was a
check of and euid/uid (or egid/gid) mismatch in the existing process,
not the newly created one. This appears to stretch back into even the
"history.git" tree. Luckily, dumpability is later set in commit_creds().
In earlier kernel versions before creds existed, similar checks also
existed late in the exec flow, covering up the mistake as far back as I
could find.

The commit_creds() check examines differences of euid, uid, egid, gid,
and capabilities between the old and new creds. It would look like
the setup_new_exec() dumpability test could be entirely removed, but
strictly speaking, the secureexec test covers a different set of tests
than what commit_creds() checks for. So, fix this test to use secureexec,
which includes the same logical check (euid != uid || egid != gid),
but checks bprm->cred, not current->cred.

One would wonder if we need a security_commit_creds() LSM hook and to
move the existing checks in commit_creds() into commoncaps.c, which
would allow expanding the logic to all LSMs. Currently this doesn't
seem needed, though.
