[PATCH] Fix user struct leakage with locked IPC shem segment

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When user locks an ipc shmem segmant with SHM_LOCK ctl and the
segment is already locked the shmem_lock() function returns 0. After this the subsequent code leaks the existing user struct:

== ipc/shm.c: sys_shmctl() ==
    ...
    err = shmem_lock(shp->shm_file, 1, user);
    if (!err) {
         shp->shm_perm.mode |= SHM_LOCKED;
         shp->mlock_user = user;
    }
    ...
==

Other results of this are:
1. the new shp->mlock_user is not get-ed and will point to freed
  memory when the task dies.
2. the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is screwed on both user structs.

The exploit looks like this:

==
   id = shmget(...);
   setresuid(uid, 0, 0);
   shmctl(id, SHM_LOCK, NULL);
   setresuid(uid + 1, 0, 0);
   shmctl(id, SHM_LOCK, NULL);
==

My solution is to return 0 to the userspace and do not change the
segment's user.
