[PATCH 4.9 34/47] proc: fix coredump vs read /proc/*/stat race

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jan 22 2018 - 04:34:52 EST


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

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

From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 8bb2ee192e482c5d500df9f2b1b26a560bd3026f upstream.

do_task_stat() accesses IP and SP of a task without bumping reference
count of a stack (which became an entity with independent lifetime at
some point).

Steps to reproduce:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>

int main(void)
{
setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE, &(struct rlimit){});

while (1) {
char buf[64];
char buf2[4096];
pid_t pid;
int fd;

pid = fork();
if (pid == 0) {
*(volatile int *)0 = 0;
}

snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "/proc/%u/stat", pid);
fd = open(buf, O_RDONLY);
read(fd, buf2, sizeof(buf2));
close(fd);

waitpid(pid, NULL, 0);
}
return 0;
}

John Ogness said: for my tests I added an else case to verify that the
race is hit and correctly mitigated.
