Kees Cook Feb. 10, 2022, 2:53 a.m. UTC
Fatal SIGSYS signals were not being delivered to pid namespace init
processes. Make sure the SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE doesn't get set for these
cases.

You're changing the subclause:

!t->ptrace

to:

(!t->ptrace || (handler == HANDLER_EXIT))

which means that the change only affects cases where the process has a
ptracer, right? That's not the scenario the commit message is talking
about...

Sorry, yes, I was not as accurate as I should have been in the commit
log. I have changed it to:

Fatal SIGSYS signals (i.e. seccomp RET_KILL_* syscall filter actions)
were not being delivered to ptraced pid namespace init processes. Make
sure the SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE doesn't get set for these cases.

So basically force_sig_info() is trying to figure out whether
get_signal() will later on check for SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE (the SIG_DFL
case), and if so, it clears the flag from the target's signal_struct
that marks the process as unkillable?

This used to be:

if (action->sa.sa_handler == SIG_DFL)
    t->signal->flags &= ~SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE;

Then someone noticed that in the ptrace case, the signal might not
actually end up being consumed by the target process, and added the
"&& !t->ptrace" clause in commit
eb61b5911bdc923875cde99eb25203a0e2b06d43.

And now Robert Swiecki noticed that that still didn't accurately model
what'll happen in get_signal().


This seems hacky to me, and also racy: What if, while you're going
through a SECCOMP_RET_KILL_PROCESS in an unkillable process, some
other thread e.g. concurrently changes the disposition of SIGSYS from
a custom handler to SIG_DFL?

Instead of trying to figure out whether the signal would have been
fatal without SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, I think it would be better to find a
way to tell the signal-handling code that SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE should be
bypassed for this specific signal, or something along those lines...
but of course that's also kind of messy because the signal-sending
code might fall back to just using the pending signal mask on
allocation failure IIRC?

I am actively working on this.  I think I know how to get there but
it requires cleanups elsewhere as well, so it is not really an approach
that is appropriate for backporting.

The big bottleneck is that we need to make signals that trigger
coredumps eligible for short circuit delivery, and that takes a little
doing.

Do you mean after force_sig_info_to_task() has finished but before
get_signal()? SA_IMMUTABLE will block changes to the action.

If you mean before force_sig_info_to_task(), I don't see how that's
possible since it's under lock:

        if (blocked || ignored || (handler != HANDLER_CURRENT)) {
                action->sa.sa_handler = SIG_DFL;
                if (handler == HANDLER_EXIT)
                        action->sa.sa_flags |= SA_IMMUTABLE;
	...
        if (action->sa.sa_handler == SIG_DFL &&
            (!t->ptrace || (handler == HANDLER_EXIT)))
                t->signal->flags &= ~SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE;

Given handler = HANDLER_EXIT, it'll always be SIG_DFL.

My original patch aimed that way:

diff --git a/kernel/signal.c b/kernel/signal.c
index 9b04631acde8..c124a09de6de 100644
--- a/kernel/signal.c
+++ b/kernel/signal.c

 		 */
 		if (unlikely(signal->flags & SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE) &&
-				!sig_kernel_only(signr))
+				!sig_kernel_only(signr) &&
+				!(ka->sa.sa_flags & SA_IMMUTABLE))
 			continue;
 
 		if (sig_kernel_stop(signr)) {

But I don't think there's a race, and Eric's suggestion seemed
better in the sense that the state change is entirely contained by
force_sig_info_to_task().
