[PATCH] vfs: move_mount: reject moving kernel internal mounts

From: Eric Biggers
Date: Sat Jun 29 2019 - 16:30:35 EST


From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

sys_move_mount() crashes by dereferencing the pointer MNT_NS_INTERNAL,
a.k.a. ERR_PTR(-EINVAL), if the old mount is specified by fd for a
kernel object with an internal mount, such as a pipe or memfd.

Fix it by checking for this case and returning -EINVAL.

Reproducer:

#include <unistd.h>

#define __NR_move_mount 429
#define MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH 0x00000004

int main()
{
int fds[2];

pipe(fds);
syscall(__NR_move_mount, fds[0], "", -1, "/", MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH);
}

Fixes: 2db154b3ea8e ("vfs: syscall: Add move_mount(2) to move mounts around")
