[2/2] fs: Harden against open(..., O_CREAT, 02777) in a setgid directory

Currently, if you open("foo", O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | ..., 02777) in a
directory that is setgid and owned by a different gid than current's
fsgid, you end up with an SGID executable that is owned by the
directory's GID.  This is a Bad Thing (tm).  Exploiting this is
nontrivial because most ways of creating a new file create an empty
file and empty executables aren't particularly interesting, but this
is nevertheless quite dangerous.

Harden against this type of attack by detecting this particular
corner case (unprivileged program creates SGID executable inode in
SGID directory owned by a different GID) and clearing the new
inode's SGID bit.

inode->i_gid hasn't been initialised yet.  This should compare with
current_fsgid(), shouldn't it?

Ben.

Whoops.  In v2, I'll fix it by inode->i_gid first -- that'll simplify
the control flow.

Nasty.

I'd love to see a test for this in xfstests and/or pjdfstests...

It seems to me like you're leaving inode->i_gid uninitialized when you
take the Woah branch here. Or at least it's not obvious to me. I'd
rather adjust it like this to make it easier to read (patched edited
by hand, sorry for the bad formating) and it also covers the case
where the gid_eq() check was apparently performed on something
uninitialized :

 {
 	inode->i_uid = current_fsuid();
+	inode->i_gid = current_fsgid();
 	if (dir && dir->i_mode & S_ISGID) {
+		bool changing_gid = !gid_eq(inode->i_gid, dir->i_gid);
+
 		inode->i_gid = dir->i_gid;
-		if (S_ISDIR(mode))
+		if (S_ISDIR(mode)) {
 			mode |= S_ISGID;
-	} else
+		} else if (((mode & (S_ISGID | S_IXGRP)) == (S_ISGID | S_IXGRP))
+			   && S_ISREG(mode) && changing_gid
+			   && !capable(CAP_FSETID)) {
+			/*
+			 * Whoa there!  An unprivileged program just
+			 * tried to create a new executable with SGID
+			 * set in a directory with SGID set that belongs
+			 * to a different group.  Don't let this program
+			 * create a SGID executable that ends up owned
+			 * by the wrong group.
+			 */
+			mode &= ~S_ISGID;
+		}
+	}
 	inode->i_mode = mode;
 }

Please ignore all this if I missed something.
