Well, it exists to implement all kinds of non-standard restrictions. You're probably blacklisting mprotect() and worry that compromised program might use /proc/self/mem instead. But you need to blacklist much more that mprotect(). I think forking a dummy "worker" process to open your /proc/*/mem and pass a descriptor back should still work with your patch. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-security-module" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I went through some old threads from 2012 when e268337dfe26 was introduced, and later when things got looked at during DirtyCOW. There was discussion about removing FOLL_FORCE (in order to block writes on a read-only memory region). But that was much more general, touched ptrace, etc. I think this patch would be okay, since it's specific to the proc "self" mem interface, not remote processes (via ptrace). This patch would also have blocked the /proc/self/mem path to DirtyCOW (though not ptrace), so that would be nice if we have similar issues in the future. So, as long as this doesn't break anything, I'm for it in general. I've CCed Linus and Jann too, since they've stared at this a lot too. :P Note that you're re-checking the mm-check-for-self in mm_access(). That's used in /proc and for process_vm_write(). Ptrace (and mm_access()) uses ptrace_may_access() for stuff (which has a similar check to bypass LSMs), so I'd be curious what would happen if this logic was plumbed into mm_access() instead of into proc_mem_open(). (Does anything open /proc/$pid files for writing? Does anything using process_vm_write() on itself?) -Kees > > Signed-off-by: Salvatore Mesoraca <s.mesoraca16@gmail.com> > --- > fs/proc/base.c | 25 ++++++++++++++++++------- > fs/proc/internal.h | 3 ++- > fs/proc/task_mmu.c | 4 ++-- > fs/proc/task_nommu.c | 2 +- > 4 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/fs/proc/base.c b/fs/proc/base.c > index 1a76d75..01ecfec 100644 > --- a/fs/proc/base.c > +++ b/fs/proc/base.c > @@ -762,8 +762,9 @@ static int proc_single_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp) > .release = single_release, > }; > > - > -struct mm_struct *proc_mem_open(struct inode *inode, unsigned int mode) > +struct mm_struct *proc_mem_open(struct inode *inode, > + unsigned int mode, > + fmode_t f_mode) > { > struct task_struct *task = get_proc_task(inode); > struct mm_struct *mm = ERR_PTR(-ESRCH); > @@ -773,10 +774,20 @@ struct mm_struct *proc_mem_open(struct inode *inode, unsigned int mode) > put_task_struct(task); > > if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(mm)) { > - /* ensure this mm_struct can't be freed */ > - mmgrab(mm); > - /* but do not pin its memory */ > - mmput(mm); > + /* > + * Prevent this interface from being used as a mean > + * to bypass memory restrictions, including those > + * imposed by LSMs. > + */ > + if (mm == current->mm && > + f_mode & FMODE_WRITE) > + mm = ERR_PTR(-EACCES); > + else { > + /* ensure this mm_struct can't be freed */ > + mmgrab(mm); > + /* but do not pin its memory */ > + mmput(mm); > + } > } > } > > @@ -785,7 +796,7 @@ struct mm_struct *proc_mem_open(struct inode *inode, unsigned int mode) > > static int __mem_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file, unsigned int mode) > { > - struct mm_struct *mm = proc_mem_open(inode, mode); > + struct mm_struct *mm = proc_mem_open(inode, mode, file->f_mode); > > if (IS_ERR(mm)) > return PTR_ERR(mm); > diff --git a/fs/proc/internal.h b/fs/proc/internal.h > index 0f1692e..8d38cc7 100644 > --- a/fs/proc/internal.h > +++ b/fs/proc/internal.h > @@ -275,7 +275,8 @@ struct proc_maps_private { > #endif > } __randomize_layout; > > -struct mm_struct *proc_mem_open(struct inode *inode, unsigned int mode); > +struct mm_struct *proc_mem_open(struct inode *inode, unsigned int mode, > + fmode_t f_mode); > > extern const struct file_operations proc_pid_maps_operations; > extern const struct file_operations proc_tid_maps_operations; > diff --git a/fs/proc/task_mmu.c b/fs/proc/task_mmu.c > index c486ad4..efb6535 100644 > --- a/fs/proc/task_mmu.c > +++ b/fs/proc/task_mmu.c > @@ -227,7 +227,7 @@ static int proc_maps_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file, > return -ENOMEM; > > priv->inode = inode; > - priv->mm = proc_mem_open(inode, PTRACE_MODE_READ); > + priv->mm = proc_mem_open(inode, PTRACE_MODE_READ, file->f_mode); > if (IS_ERR(priv->mm)) { > int err = PTR_ERR(priv->mm); > > @@ -1534,7 +1534,7 @@ static int pagemap_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) > { > struct mm_struct *mm; > > - mm = proc_mem_open(inode, PTRACE_MODE_READ); > + mm = proc_mem_open(inode, PTRACE_MODE_READ, file->f_mode); > if (IS_ERR(mm)) > return PTR_ERR(mm); > file->private_data = mm; > diff --git a/fs/proc/task_nommu.c b/fs/proc/task_nommu.c > index 5b62f57..dc38516 100644 > --- a/fs/proc/task_nommu.c > +++ b/fs/proc/task_nommu.c > @@ -280,7 +280,7 @@ static int maps_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file, > return -ENOMEM; > > priv->inode = inode; > - priv->mm = proc_mem_open(inode, PTRACE_MODE_READ); > + priv->mm = proc_mem_open(inode, PTRACE_MODE_READ, file->f_mode); > if (IS_ERR(priv->mm)) { > int err = PTR_ERR(priv->mm); > > -- > 1.9.1 >

I wonder how many out of tree LSM there are? Looking at the mainline
kernel the only "small" LSM bundled is YAMA, and it seems that most of
the patches proposing new ones eventually die out.
I appreciate that there are probably a lot of "toy" or "local" modules
out there for specific fields, companies, or products, but it does
seem odd that there are so few discussed publicly.
(The last two I remember were S.A.R.A and something relating to
xattr-attributes being used to whitelist execution.)

Minor modules like Yama and LoadPin are constrained by not being able to use security blobs. That seriously limits the sort of thing you can do with them. It often makes more sense to get the behavior in mainline under CONFIG_SOMETHING than to provide a minor LSM in that case. > (The last two I remember were S.A.R.A and something relating to > xattr-attributes being used to whitelist execution.) Anything that would have to be a major (blob using) module has a very tough time because you have to displace an existing major module (SELinux, AppArmor, Smack, TOMOYO) in order to use it. When we get infrastructure managed security blobs upstream most of the proposed modules could be used in conjunction with the existing installed modules. Some would have to wait for the complete stacking solution, but that's limited to use of networking facilities. There's also renewed interest in minor modules being dynamically loadable, so they can be added on a running system as new and interesting threats get newer and more interesting mitigations. We don't make it easy for new modules. Some of that is an artifact of the infrastructure, and some is based on caution. > Steve > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-security-module" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-security-module" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

FWIW S.A.R.A. is not dead [1]. Unfortunately it needs infrastructure managed security blobs, so I didn't tried to get it upstream, yet. Of course, I can't give you any guarantees about when or if it will be upstreamed, but it's definitely still alive.

Prevent a task from opening, in "write" mode, any /proc/*/mem file that operates on the task's mm. /proc/*/mem is mainly a debugging means and, as such, it shouldn't be used by the inspected process itself. Current implementation always allow a task to access its own /proc/*/mem file. A process can use it to overwrite read-only memory, making pointless the use of security_file_mprotect() or other ways to enforce RO memory.
