The get_dumpable() return value is not boolean. Most users of the
function actually want to be testing for non-SUID_DUMP_USER(1) rather than
SUID_DUMP_DISABLE(0). The SUID_DUMP_ROOT(2) is also considered a
protected state. Almost all places did this correctly, excepting the two
places fixed in this patch.
Wrong logic:
if (dumpable == SUID_DUMP_DISABLE) { /* be protective */ }
or
if (dumpable == 0) { /* be protective */ }
or
if (!dumpable) { /* be protective */ }
Correct logic:
if (dumpable != SUID_DUMP_USER) { /* be protective */ }
or
if (dumpable != 1) { /* be protective */ }
Without this patch, if the system had set the sysctl fs/suid_dumpable=2, a
user was able to ptrace attach to processes that had dropped privileges to
that user. (This may have been partially mitigated if Yama was enabled.)
The macros have been moved into the file that declares get/set_dumpable(),
which means things like the ia64 code can see them too.

__ptrace_may_access() checks get_dumpable/ptrace_has_cap/etc if task !=
current, this can can lead to surprising results.
For example, a sub-thread can't readlink("/proc/self/exe") if the
executable is not readable. setup_new_exec()->would_dump() notices that
inode_permission(MAY_READ) fails and then it does
set_dumpable(suid_dumpable). After that get_dumpable() fails.
(It is not clear why proc_pid_readlink() checks get_dumpable(), perhaps we
could add PTRACE_MODE_NODUMPABLE)
Change __ptrace_may_access() to use same_thread_group() instead of "task
== current". Any security check is pointless when the tasks share the
same ->mm.

This reverts commit fab840fc2d.
This commit even has the test-case to prove that the tracee
can be killed by SIGTRAP if the debugger does not remove the
breakpoints before PTRACE_DETACH.
However, this is exactly what wineserver deliberately does,
set_thread_context() calls PTRACE_ATTACH + PTRACE_DETACH just
for PTRACE_POKEUSER(DR*) in between.
So we should revert this fix and document that PTRACE_DETACH
should keep the breakpoints.

crtools uses a parasite code for dumping processes. The parasite code is
injected into a process with help PTRACE_SEIZE.
Currently crtools blocks signals from a parasite code. If a process has
pending signals, crtools wait while a process handles these signals.
This method is not suitable for stopped tasks. A stopped task can have a
few pending signals, when we will try to execute a parasite code, we will
need to drop SIGSTOP, but all other signals must remain pending, because a
state of processes must not be changed during checkpointing.
This patch adds two ptrace commands to set/get signal-blocked mask.
I think gdb can use this commands too.

This patch adds a new ptrace request PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO.
This request is used to retrieve information about pending signals
starting with the specified sequence number. Siginfo_t structures are
copied from the child into the buffer starting at "data".
The argument "addr" is a pointer to struct ptrace_peeksiginfo_args.
struct ptrace_peeksiginfo_args {
u64 off; /* from which siginfo to start */
u32 flags;
s32 nr; /* how may siginfos to take */
};
"nr" has type "s32", because ptrace() returns "long", which has 32 bits on
i386 and a negative values is used for errors.
Currently here is only one flag PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO_SHARED for dumping
signals from process-wide queue. If this flag is not set, signals are
read from a per-thread queue.
The request PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO returns a number of dumped signals. If a
signal with the specified sequence number doesn't exist, ptrace returns
zero. The request returns an error, if no signal has been dumped.
Errors:
EINVAL - one or more specified flags are not supported or nr is negative
EFAULT - buf or addr is outside your accessible address space.
A result siginfo contains a kernel part of si_code which usually striped,
but it's required for queuing the same siginfo back during restore of
pending signals.
This functionality is required for checkpointing pending signals. Pedro
Alves suggested using it in "gdb" to peek at pending signals. gdb already
uses PTRACE_GETSIGINFO to get the siginfo for the signal which was already
dequeued. This functionality allows gdb to look at the pending signals
which were not reported yet.
The prototype of this code was developed by Oleg Nesterov.

putreg() assumes that the tracee is not running and pt_regs_access() can
safely play with its stack. However a killed tracee can return from
ptrace_stop() to the low-level asm code and do RESTORE_REST, this means
that debugger can actually read/modify the kernel stack until the tracee
does SAVE_REST again.
set_task_blockstep() can race with SIGKILL too and in some sense this
race is even worse, the very fact the tracee can be woken up breaks the
logic.
As Linus suggested we can clear TASK_WAKEKILL around the arch_ptrace()
call, this ensures that nobody can ever wakeup the tracee while the
debugger looks at it. Not only this fixes the mentioned problems, we
can do some cleanups/simplifications in arch_ptrace() paths.
Probably ptrace_unfreeze_traced() needs more callers, for example it
makes sense to make the tracee killable for oom-killer before
access_process_vm().
While at it, add the comment into may_ptrace_stop() to explain why
ptrace_stop() still can't rely on SIGKILL and signal_pending_state().

Cleanup and preparation for the next change.
signal_wake_up(resume => true) is overused. None of ptrace/jctl callers
actually want to wakeup a TASK_WAKEKILL task, but they can't specify the
necessary mask.
Turn signal_wake_up() into signal_wake_up_state(state), reintroduce
signal_wake_up() as a trivial helper, and add ptrace_signal_wake_up()
which adds __TASK_TRACED.
This way ptrace_signal_wake_up() can work "inside" ptrace_request()
even if the tracee doesn't have the TASK_WAKEKILL bit set.

Ptrace jailers want to be sure that the tracee can never escape
from the control. However if the tracer dies unexpectedly the
tracee continues to run in potentially unsafe mode.
Add the new ptrace option PTRACE_O_EXITKILL. If the tracer exits
it sends SIGKILL to every tracee which has this bit set.
Note that the new option is not equal to the last-option << 1. Because
currently all options have an event, and the new one starts the eventless
group. It uses the random 20 bit, so we have the room for 12 more events,
but we can also add the new eventless options below this one.

The task_user_ns function hides the fact that it is getting the user
namespace from struct cred on the task. struct cred may go away as
soon as the rcu lock is released. This leads to a race where we
can dereference a stale user namespace pointer.
To make it obvious a struct cred is involved kill task_user_ns.
To kill the race modify the users of task_user_ns to only
reference the user namespace while the rcu lock is held.

This can be used to close a few corner cases in strace where we get
unwanted racy behavior after attach, but before we have a chance to set
options (the notorious post-execve SIGTRAP comes to mind), and removes
the need to track "did we set opts for this task" state in strace
internals.
While we are at it:
Make it possible to extend SEIZE in the future with more functionality
by passing non-zero 'addr' parameter. To that end, error out if 'addr'
is non-zero. PTRACE_ATTACH did not (and still does not) have such
check, and users (strace) do pass garbage there... let's avoid
repeating this mistake with SEIZE.
Set all task->ptrace bits in one operation - before this change, we were
adding PT_SEIZED and PT_PTRACE_CAP with task->ptrace |= BIT ops. This
was probably ok (not a bug), but let's be on a safer side.

On ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, <opts>), we used to set those
option bits which are known, and then fail with -EINVAL if there are
some unknown bits in <opts>.
This is inconsistent with typical error handling, which does not change
any state if input is invalid.
This patch changes PTRACE_SETOPTIONS behavior so that in this case, we
return -EINVAL and don't change any bits in task->ptrace.
It's very unlikely that there is userspace code in the wild which will
be affected by this change: it should have the form
ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPT)
where PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPT is a constant unknown to the kernel. But kernel
headers, naturally, don't contain any PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPTs, thus the only
way userspace can use one if it defines one itself. I can't see why
anyone would do such a thing deliberately.

Reading /proc/pid/stat of another process checks if one has ptrace permissions
on that process. If one does have permissions it outputs some data about the
process which might have security and attack implications. If the current
task does not have ptrace permissions the read still works, but those fields
are filled with inocuous (0) values. Since this check and a subsequent denial
is not a violation of the security policy we should not audit such denials.
This can be quite useful to removing ptrace broadly across a system without
flooding the logs when ps is run or something which harmlessly walks proc.

This is the temporary simple fix for 3.2, we need more changes in this
area.
1. do_signal_stop() assumes that the running untraced thread in the
stopped thread group is not possible. This was our goal but it is
not yet achieved: a stopped-but-resumed tracee can clone the running
thread which can initiate another group-stop.
Remove WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->ptrace).
2. A new thread always starts with ->jobctl = 0. If it is auto-attached
and this group is stopped, __ptrace_unlink() sets JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING
but JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK part is zero, this triggers WANR_ON(!signr)
in do_jobctl_trap() if another debugger attaches.
Change __ptrace_unlink() to set the artificial SIGSTOP for report.
Alternatively we could change ptrace_init_task() to copy signr from
current, but this means we can copy it for no reason and hide the
possible similar problems.

This change adds a procfs connector event, which is emitted on every
successful process tracer attach or detach.
If some process connects to other one, kernelspace connector reports
process id and thread group id of both these involved processes. On
disconnection null process id is returned.
Such an event allows to create a simple automated userspace mechanism
to be aware about processes connecting to others, therefore predefined
process policies can be applied to them if needed.
Note, a detach signal is emitted only in case, if a tracer process
explicitly executes PTRACE_DETACH request. In other cases like tracee
or tracer exit detach event from proc connector is not reported.

The previous patch implemented async notification for ptrace but it
only worked while trace is running. This patch introduces
PTRACE_LISTEN which is suggested by Oleg Nestrov.
It's allowed iff tracee is in STOP trap and puts tracee into
quasi-running state - tracee never really runs but wait(2) and
ptrace(2) consider it to be running. While ptracer is listening,
tracee is allowed to re-enter STOP to notify an async event.
Listening state is cleared on the first notification. Ptracer can
also clear it by issuing INTERRUPT - tracee will re-trap into STOP
with listening state cleared.
This allows ptracer to monitor group stop state without running tracee
- use INTERRUPT to put tracee into STOP trap, issue LISTEN and then
wait(2) to wait for the next group stop event. When it happens,
PTRACE_GETSIGINFO provides information to determine the current state.
Test program follows.

Currently, there's no way to trap a running ptracee short of sending a
signal which has various side effects. This patch implements
PTRACE_INTERRUPT which traps ptracee without any signal or job control
related side effect.
The implementation is almost trivial. It uses the group stop trap -
SIGTRAP | PTRACE_EVENT_STOP << 8. A new trap flag
JOBCTL_TRAP_INTERRUPT is added, which is set on PTRACE_INTERRUPT and
cleared when any trap happens. As INTERRUPT should be useable
regardless of the current state of tracee, task_is_traced() test in
ptrace_check_attach() is skipped for INTERRUPT.
PTRACE_INTERRUPT is available iff tracee is attached with
PTRACE_SEIZE.
Test program follows.
#define PTRACE_SEIZE 0x4206
#define PTRACE_INTERRUPT 0x4207
#define PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL 0x80000000
static const struct timespec ts100ms = { .tv_nsec = 100000000 };
static const struct timespec ts1s = { .tv_sec = 1 };
static const struct timespec ts3s = { .tv_sec = 3 };
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
pid_t tracee;
tracee = fork();
if (tracee == 0) {
nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL);
while (1) {
printf("tracee: alive pid=%d\n", getpid());
nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);
}
}
if (argc > 1)
kill(tracee, SIGSTOP);
nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL);
ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, tracee, NULL,
(void *)(unsigned long)PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL);
if (argc > 1) {

ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, tracee, NULL, NULL);
nanosleep(&ts3s, NULL);
printf("tracer: exiting\n");
kill(tracee, SIGKILL);
return 0;
}
When called without argument, tracee is seized from running state,
interrupted and then detached back to running state.
# ./test-interrupt
tracee: alive pid=4546
tracee: alive pid=4546
tracee: alive pid=4546
tracer: INTERRUPT and DETACH
tracee: alive pid=4546

When called with argument, tracee is seized from stopped state,
continued, interrupted and then detached back to stopped state.
# ./test-interrupt 1
tracee: alive pid=4548
tracee: alive pid=4548
tracee: alive pid=4548
tracer: INTERRUPT and DETACH

Before PTRACE_INTERRUPT, once the tracee was running, there was no way
to trap tracee and do PTRACE_DETACH without causing side effect.

PTRACE_ATTACH implicitly issues SIGSTOP on attach which has side
effects on tracee signal and job control states. This patch
implements a new ptrace request PTRACE_SEIZE which attaches a tracee
without trapping it or affecting its signal and job control states.
The usage is the same with PTRACE_ATTACH but it takes PTRACE_SEIZE_*
flags in @data. Currently, the only defined flag is
PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL which is a temporary flag to enable PTRACE_SEIZE.
PTRACE_SEIZE will change ptrace behaviors outside of attach itself.
The changes will be implemented gradually and the DEVEL flag is to
prevent programs which expect full SEIZE behavior from using it before
all the behavior modifications are complete while allowing unit
testing. The flag will be removed once SEIZE behaviors are completely
implemented.
* PTRACE_SEIZE, unlike ATTACH, doesn't force tracee to trap. After
attaching tracee continues to run unless a trap condition occurs.
* PTRACE_SEIZE doesn't affect signal or group stop state.
* If PTRACE_SEIZE'd, group stop uses PTRACE_EVENT_STOP trap which uses
exit_code of (signr | PTRACE_EVENT_STOP << 8) where signr is one of
the stopping signals if group stop is in effect or SIGTRAP
otherwise, and returns usual trap siginfo on PTRACE_GETSIGINFO
instead of NULL.
Seizing sets PT_SEIZED in ->ptrace of the tracee. This flag will be
used to determine whether new SEIZE behaviors should be enabled.
Test program follows.
#define PTRACE_SEIZE 0x4206
#define PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL 0x80000000
static const struct timespec ts100ms = { .tv_nsec = 100000000 };
static const struct timespec ts1s = { .tv_sec = 1 };
static const struct timespec ts3s = { .tv_sec = 3 };
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
pid_t tracee;
tracee = fork();
if (tracee == 0) {
nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL);
while (1) {
printf("tracee: alive\n");
nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);
}
}
if (argc > 1)
kill(tracee, SIGSTOP);
nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL);
ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, tracee, NULL,
(void *)(unsigned long)PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL);
if (argc > 1) {
waitid(P_PID, tracee, NULL, WSTOPPED);
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, NULL);
}
nanosleep(&ts3s, NULL);
printf("tracer: exiting\n");
return 0;
}
When the above program is called w/o argument, tracee is seized while
running and remains running. When tracer exits, tracee continues to
run and print out messages.
# ./test-seize-simple
tracee: alive
tracee: alive
tracee: alive
tracer: exiting
tracee: alive
tracee: alive
When called with an argument, tracee is seized from stopped state and
continued, and returns to stopped state when tracer exits.
# ./test-seize

tracee: alive
tracee: alive
tracer: exiting
# ps -el|grep test-seize

-v2: SEIZE doesn't schedule TRAP_STOP and leaves tracee running as Jan
suggested.
-v3: PTRACE_EVENT_STOP traps now report group stop state by signr. If
group stop is in effect the stop signal number is returned as
part of exit_code; otherwise, SIGTRAP. This was suggested by
Denys and Oleg.

do_signal_stop() implemented both normal group stop and trap for group
stop while ptraced. This approach has been enough but scheduled
changes require trap mechanism which can be used in more generic
manner and using group stop trap for generic trap site simplifies both
userland visible interface and implementation.
This patch adds a new jobctl flag - JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP. When set, it
triggers a trap site, which behaves like group stop trap, in
get_signal_to_deliver() after checking for pending signals. While
ptraced, do_signal_stop() doesn't stop itself. It initiates group
stop if requested and schedules JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP and returns. The
caller - get_signal_to_deliver() - is responsible for checking whether
TRAP_STOP is pending afterwards and handling it.
ptrace_attach() is updated to use JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP instead of
JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING and __ptrace_unlink() to clear all pending trap
bits and TRAPPING so that TRAP_STOP and future trap bits don't linger
after detach.
While at it, add proper function comment to do_signal_stop() and make
it return bool.
-v2: __ptrace_unlink() updated to clear JOBCTL_TRAP_MASK and TRAPPING
instead of JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK. This avoids accidentally
clearing JOBCTL_STOP_CONSUME. Spotted by Oleg.
-v3: do_signal_stop() updated to return %false without dropping
siglock while ptraced and TRAP_STOP check moved inside for(;;)
loop after group stop participation. This avoids unnecessary
relocking and also will help avoiding unnecessary traps by
consuming group stop before handling pending traps.
-v4: Jobctl trap handling moved into a separate function -
do_jobctl_trap().

ptracer->signal->wait_chldexit was used to wait for TRAPPING; however,
->wait_chldexit was already complicated with waker-side filtering
without adding TRAPPING wait on top of it. Also, it unnecessarily
made TRAPPING clearing depend on the current ptrace relationship - if
the ptracee is detached, wakeup is lost.
There is no reason to use signal->wait_chldexit here. We're just
waiting for JOBCTL_TRAPPING bit to clear and given the relatively
infrequent use of ptrace, bit_waitqueue can serve it perfectly.
This patch makes JOBCTL_TRAPPING wait use bit_waitqueue instead of
signal->wait_chldexit.

task->jobctl currently hosts JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING and will host TRAP
pending bits too. Setting pending conditions on a dying task may make
the task unkillable. Currently, each setting site is responsible for
checking for the condition but with to-be-added job control traps this
becomes too fragile.
This patch adds task_set_jobctl_pending() which should be used when
setting task->jobctl bits to schedule a stop or trap. The function
performs the followings to ease setting pending bits.
* Sanity checks.
* If fatal signal is pending or PF_EXITING is set, no bit is set.
* STOP_SIGMASK is automatically cleared if new value is being set.
do_signal_stop() and ptrace_attach() are updated to use
task_set_jobctl_pending() instead of setting STOP_PENDING explicitly.
The surrounding structures around setting are changed to fit
task_set_jobctl_pending() better but there should be no userland
visible behavior difference.

It is not clear why ptrace_resume() does wake_up_process(). Unless the
caller is PTRACE_KILL the tracee should be TASK_TRACED so we can use
wake_up_state(__TASK_TRACED). If sys_ptrace() races with SIGKILL we do
not need the extra and potentionally spurious wakeup.
If the caller is PTRACE_KILL, wake_up_process() is even more wrong.
The tracee can sleep in any state in any place, and if we have a buggy
code which doesn't handle a spurious wakeup correctly PTRACE_KILL can
be used to exploit it. For example:
int main(void)
{
int child, status;
child = fork();
if (!child) {
int ret;
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
ret = pause();
printf("pause: %d %m\n", ret);
return 0x23;
}
sleep(1);
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_KILL, child, 0,0) == 0);
assert(child == wait(&status));
printf("wait: %x\n", status);
return 0;
}
prints "pause: -1 Unknown error 514", -ERESTARTNOHAND leaks to the
userland. In this case sys_pause() is buggy as well and should be
fixed.
I do not know what was the original rationality behind PTRACE_KILL.
The man page is simply wrong and afaics it was always wrong. Imho
it should be deprecated, or may be it should do send_sig(SIGKILL)
as Denys suggests, but in any case I do not think that the current
behaviour was intentional.
Note: there is another problem, ptrace_resume() changes ->exit_code
and this can race with SIGKILL too. Eventually we should change ptrace
to not use ->exit_code.

When a task is traced and is in a stopped state, the tracer
may execute a ptrace request to examine the tracee state and
get its task struct. Right after, the tracee can be killed
and thus its breakpoints released.
This can happen concurrently when the tracer is in the middle
of reading or modifying these breakpoints, leading to dereferencing
a freed pointer.
Hence, to prepare the fix, create a generic breakpoint reference
holding API. When a reference on the breakpoints of a task is
held, the breakpoints won't be released until the last reference
is dropped. After that, no more ptrace request on the task's
breakpoints can be serviced for the tracer.

Currently, __ptrace_unlink() wakes up the tracee iff it's in
TASK_TRACED. For unlinking from PTRACE_DETACH, this is correct as the
tracee is guaranteed to be in TASK_TRACED or dead; however, unlinking
also happens when the ptracer exits and in this case the ptracee can
be in any state and ptrace might be left running even if the group it
belongs to is stopped.
This patch updates __ptrace_unlink() such that GROUP_STOP_PENDING is
reinstated regardless of the ptracee's current state as long as it's
alive and makes sure that signal_wake_up() is called if execution
state transition is necessary.
Test case follows.

Currently, if the task is STOPPED on ptrace attach, it's left alone
and the state is silently changed to TRACED on the next ptrace call.
The behavior breaks the assumption that arch_ptrace_stop() is called
before any task is poked by ptrace and is ugly in that a task
manipulates the state of another task directly.
With GROUP_STOP_PENDING, the transitions between TASK_STOPPED and
TRACED can be made clean. The tracer can use the flag to tell the
tracee to retry stop on attach and detach. On retry, the tracee will
enter the desired state in the correct way. The lower 16bits of
task->group_stop is used to remember the signal number which caused
the last group stop. This is used while retrying for ptrace attach as
the original group_exit_code could have been consumed with wait(2) by
then.
As the real parent may wait(2) and consume the group_exit_code
anytime, the group_exit_code needs to be saved separately so that it
can be used when switching from regular sleep to ptrace_stop(). This
is recorded in the lower 16bits of task->group_stop.
If a task is already stopped and there's no intervening SIGCONT, a
ptrace request immediately following a successful PTRACE_ATTACH should
always succeed even if the tracer doesn't wait(2) for attach
completion; however, with this change, the tracee might still be
TASK_RUNNING trying to enter TASK_TRACED which would cause the
following request to fail with -ESRCH.
This intermediate state is hidden from the ptracer by setting
GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING on attach and making ptrace_check_attach() wait
for it to clear on its signal->wait_chldexit. Completing the
transition or getting killed clears TRAPPING and wakes up the tracer.
Note that the STOPPED -> RUNNING -> TRACED transition is still visible
to other threads which are in the same group as the ptracer and the
reverse transition is visible to all. Please read the comments for
details.
Oleg:
* Spotted a race condition where a task may retry group stop without
proper bookkeeping. Fixed by redoing bookkeeping on retry.
* Spotted that the transition is visible to userland in several
different ways. Most are fixed with GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING. Unhandled
corner case is documented.
* Pointed out not setting GROUP_STOP_SIGMASK on an already stopped
task would result in more consistent behavior.
* Pointed out that calling ptrace_stop() from do_signal_stop() in
TASK_STOPPED can race with group stop start logic and then confuse
the TRAPPING wait in ptrace_check_attach(). ptrace_stop() is now
called with TASK_RUNNING.
* Suggested using signal->wait_chldexit instead of bit wait.
* Spotted a race condition between TRACED transition and clearing of
TRAPPING.
