[PATCH 1/2] seccomp: don't leak memory when filter install races

From: Tycho Andersen
Date: Tue Sep 01 2020 - 21:45:52 EST


In seccomp_set_mode_filter() with TSYNC | NEW_LISTENER, we first initialize
the listener fd, then check to see if we can actually use it later in
seccomp_may_assign_mode(), which can fail if anyone else in our thread
group has installed a filter and caused some divergence. If we can't, we
partially clean up the newly allocated file: we put the fd, put the file,
but don't actually clean up the *memory* that was allocated at
filter->notif. Let's clean that up too.

To accomplish this, let's hoist the actual "detach a notifier from a
filter" code to its own helper out of seccomp_notify_release(), so that in
case anyone adds stuff to init_listener(), they only have to add the
cleanup code in one spot. This does a bit of extra locking and such on the
failure path when the filter is not attached, but it's a slow failure path
anyway.
