[PATCH 4.4 132/137] prctl: take mmap sem for writing to protect against others

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mateusz Guzik <mguzik@redhat.com>

commit ddf1d398e517e660207e2c807f76a90df543a217 upstream.

An unprivileged user can trigger an oops on a kernel with
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

proc_pid_cmdline_read takes mmap_sem for reading and obtains args + env
start/end values. These get sanity checked as follows:
        BUG_ON(arg_start > arg_end);
        BUG_ON(env_start > env_end);

These can be changed by prctl_set_mm. Turns out also takes the semaphore for
reading, effectively rendering it useless. This results in:

Turns out there are instances where the code just reads aformentioned
values without locking whatsoever - namely environ_read and get_cmdline.

Interestingly these functions look quite resilient against bogus values,
but I don't believe this should be relied upon.

The first patch gets rid of the oops bug by grabbing mmap_sem for
writing.

The second patch is optional and puts locking around aformentioned
consumers for safety.  Consumers of other fields don't seem to benefit
from similar treatment and are left untouched.

This patch (of 2):

The code was taking the semaphore for reading, which does not protect
against readers nor concurrent modifications.

The problem could cause a sanity checks to fail in procfs's cmdline
reader, resulting in an OOPS.

Note that some functions perform an unlocked read of various mm fields,
but they seem to be fine despite possible modificaton.
