refcount underflow and type confusion in shiftfs

[Jann Horn (corp account)]

Tested on Ubuntu 19.10, kernel "5.3.0-19-generic #20-Ubuntu".

Ubuntu ships a filesystem "shiftfs" in fs/shiftfs.c in the kernel tree that
doesn't exist upstream. This filesystem can be mounted from user namespaces,
meaning that this is attack surface from unprivileged userspace in the default
installation.

There are two memory safety bugs around shiftfs_btrfs_ioctl_fd_replace().

#################### Bug 1: Flawed reference counting ####################

In shiftfs_btrfs_ioctl_fd_replace() ("//" comments added by me):

 src = fdget(oldfd);
 if (!src.file)
  return -EINVAL;
 // src holds one reference (assuming multithreaded execution)

 ret = shiftfs_real_fdget(src.file, lfd);
 // lfd->file is a file* now, but shiftfs_real_fdget didn't take any
 // extra references
 fdput(src);
 // this drops the only reference we were holding on src, and src was
 // the only thing holding a reference to lfd->file. lfd->file may be
 // dangling at this point.
 if (ret)
  return ret;

 *newfd = get_unused_fd_flags(lfd->file->f_flags);
 if (*newfd < 0) {
  // always a no-op
  fdput(*lfd);
  return *newfd;
 }

 fd_install(*newfd, lfd->file);
 // fd_install() consumes a counted reference, but we don't hold any
 // counted references. so at this point, if lfd->file hasn't been freed
 // yet, its refcount is one lower than it ought to be.

 [...]

 // the following code is refcount-neutral, so the refcount stays one too
 // low.
 if (ret)
  shiftfs_btrfs_ioctl_fd_restore(cmd, *lfd, *newfd, arg, v1, v2);

shiftfs_real_fdget() is implemented as follows:

static int shiftfs_real_fdget(const struct file *file, struct fd *lowerfd)
{
 struct shiftfs_file_info *file_info = file->private_data;
 struct file *realfile = file_info->realfile;

 lowerfd->flags = 0;
 lowerfd->file = realfile;

 /* Did the flags change since open? */
 if (unlikely(file->f_flags & ~lowerfd->file->f_flags))
  return shiftfs_change_flags(lowerfd->file, file->f_flags);

 return 0;
}

Therefore, the following PoC will cause reference count overdecrements; I ran it
with SLUB debugging enabled and got the following splat:

This is an attempted dereference of 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b, which is POISON_FREE; I
think this corresponds to the load of "realfile->f_op->mmap" in the source code.

#################### Bug 2: Type confusion ####################

shiftfs_btrfs_ioctl_fd_replace() calls fdget(oldfd), then without further checks
passes the resulting file* into shiftfs_real_fdget(), which does this:

static int shiftfs_real_fdget(const struct file *file, struct fd *lowerfd)
{
 struct shiftfs_file_info *file_info = file->private_data;
 struct file *realfile = file_info->realfile;

 lowerfd->flags = 0;
 lowerfd->file = realfile;

 /* Did the flags change since open? */
 if (unlikely(file->f_flags & ~lowerfd->file->f_flags))
  return shiftfs_change_flags(lowerfd->file, file->f_flags);

 return 0;
}

file->private_data is a void* that points to a filesystem-dependent type; and
some filesystems even use it to store a type-cast number instead of a pointer.
The implicit cast to a "struct shiftfs_file_info *" can therefore be a bad cast.

As a PoC, here I'm causing a type confusion between struct shiftfs_file_info
(with ->realfile at offset 0x10) and struct mm_struct (with vmacache_seqnum at
offset 0x10), and I use that to cause a memory dereference somewhere around
0x4242:

=======================================

This bug is subject to a 90 day disclosure deadline. After 90 days elapse
or a patch has been made broadly available (whichever is earlier), the bug
report will become visible to the public.

[Jann Horn (corp account) (jannh)]

Oh, by the way, I'm pretty sure that shiftfs_override_object_creds() is also wrong, although I'm not sure in what situation that would actually become exploitable; it uses code like this to override credentials before creating a file in the lower fs:

 (*newcred)->fsuid = KUIDT_INIT(from_kuid(sb->s_user_ns, fsuid));
 (*newcred)->fsgid = KGIDT_INIT(from_kgid(sb->s_user_ns, fsgid));

I think this is supposed to be something along the lines of `make_kuid(lower_ns, from_kuid(sb->s_user_ns, fsuid))`, and it's going to do the wrong thing when the userns of the lower filesystem is not the init_user_ns.

[Alex Murray (alexmurray)]

Thanks for the detailed reports as always Jann.

[Seth Forshee (sforshee)]

Attached patches for the two bugs in the description, and the id translation issue from comment #1 (plus a couple of other similar translations that looked to have the same problem).

Jann, Christian, the third patch is new to the both of you so appreciate it if you could take a look. I've tested with the test cases for bug 1 & 2 and can no longer reproduce them with these patches. I'm in the process of getting a container running to do some light regression testing, but I'd also like to see the lxd test suite run to check for regressions. Thanks!

[Jann Horn (corp account) (jannh)]

I don't see any problems with those patches.

[Jann Horn (corp account) (jannh)]

... actually, for patch 2, I wonder whether that works properly if there is a device inside shiftfs. It might not be relevant from a security perspective, I'm not sure, but I think checking for `file->f_op.open == shiftfs_open` might be better.

[Seth Arnold (seth-arnold)]

Thanks Jann,

CVE-2019-15791 -- reference count error
CVE-2019-15792 -- type confusion
CVE-2019-15793 -- initns instead of userns

Thanks

[Seth Forshee (sforshee)]

Jann: shiftfs_real_fdget() isn't relevant for special inodes. It's only used when entering shitfs via i_fops (or i_dops in the case of ioctl). For special inodes i_fop is set by init_special_inode() and never to shiftfs_file_operations.

[Jann Horn (corp account) (jannh)]

Re #10: I don't see how that's relevant here. shiftfs_btrfs_ioctl_fd_replace() does `src = fdget(oldfd)`, meaning that `src.file` contains some random file that may have no association whatsoever with shiftfs, or may be a special inode in a shiftfs. Then it calls shiftfs_real_fdget() on that file, which (with your patch) only checks the magic of the superblock. And the special inodes would still be on shiftfs' superblock, so that check would pass, right?

[Seth Forshee (sforshee)]

Oh, hmm. Yes, since we're checking a dentry then it is true the test would pass. I'll take another look then.

[Seth Forshee (sforshee)]

I was able to produce an oops by modifying the reproducer for bug #2 to create a fifo in the shiftfs filesystem and pass that in the fd field for the btrfs ioctl. Changing to check f_op.open does make sense to avoid this, though we must check for shiftfs_open and shiftfs_dir_open as allowed ioctls may also be valid for directories. Attaching an updated version of the second patch. With this I cannot reproduce the oops using a fifo.

[Jann Horn (corp account) (jannh)]

Nitpick: Ah, I guess you're looking at a different version of shiftfs - the eoan version I'm looking at uses the same ->f_op->open handler for both. If you have to do two separate checks anyway, the standard way would be to just compare the ->f_op pointer instead of the ->f_op->open handler - but that doesn't really matter.

[Christian Brauner (cbrauner)]

Tested the kernel with Seth's latest patch and did not manage to reproduce the bugs.

[Tyler Hicks (tyhicks)]

Hi Jann - We plan to make these three issues public on 2019-11-12. Thanks again for the report!

[Seth Forshee (sforshee)]

Attaching all-in-one script to test patched kernels for bug #1.

[Seth Forshee (sforshee)]

And an all-in-one script to test for bug #2.
