Subject: [PATCH] virtiofsd: Whitelist fchmod
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2020 11:31:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200608093111.14942-1-mreitz@redhat.com> (raw)
lo_setattr() invokes fchmod() in a rarely used code path, so it should
be whitelisted or virtiofsd will crash with EBADSYS.
Said code path can be triggered for example as follows:
On the host, in the shared directory, create a file with the sticky bit
set and a security.capability xattr:
(1) # touch foo
(2) # chmod u+s foo
(3) # setcap '' foo
Then in the guest let some process truncate that file after it has
dropped all of its capabilities (at least CAP_FSETID):
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
capng_setpid(getpid());
capng_clear(CAPNG_SELECT_BOTH);
capng_updatev(CAPNG_ADD, CAPNG_PERMITTED | CAPNG_EFFECTIVE, 0);
capng_apply(CAPNG_SELECT_BOTH);
ftruncate(open(argv[1], O_RDWR), 0);
}
This will cause the guest kernel to drop the sticky bit (i.e. perform a
mode change) as part of the truncate (where FATTR_FH is set), and that
will cause virtiofsd to invoke fchmod() instead of fchmodat().
(A similar configuration exists further below with futimens() vs.
utimensat(), but the former is not a syscall but just a wrapper for the
latter, so no further whitelisting is required.)
