Subject: [patch 149/158] userfaultfd: require CAP_SYS_PTRACE for UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK
Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2019 17:58:01 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191201015801.SW5FAPUDb%akpm@linux-foundation.org> (raw)

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com>
Subject: userfaultfd: require CAP_SYS_PTRACE for UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK

A while ago Andy noticed
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/CALCETrWY+5ynDct7eU_nDUqx=okQvjm=Y5wJvA4ahBja=CQXGw@mail.gmail.com)
that UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK used by an unprivileged user may have
security implications.

As the first step of the solution the following patch limits the availably
of UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK only for those having CAP_SYS_PTRACE.

The usage of CAP_SYS_PTRACE ensures compatibility with CRIU.

Yet, if there are other users of non-cooperative userfaultfd that run
without CAP_SYS_PTRACE, they would be broken :(


Current implementation of UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK modifies the file
descriptor table from the read() implementation of uffd, which may have
security implications for unprivileged use of the userfaultfd.

Limit availability of UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK only for callers that have
CAP_SYS_PTRACE.
