commit c8bcd9c5be24fb9e6132e97da5a35e55a83e36b9 upstream.

Currently, locking of -&gt;session is very inconsistent; most places
protect it using the legacy tty mutex, but disassociate_ctty(),
__do_SAK(), tiocspgrp() and tiocgsid() don't.
Two of the writers hold the ctrl_lock (because they already need it for
-&gt;pgrp), but __proc_set_tty() doesn't do that yet.

On a PREEMPT=y system, an unprivileged user can theoretically abuse
this broken locking to read 4 bytes of freed memory via TIOCGSID if
tiocgsid() is preempted long enough at the right point. (Other things
might also go wrong, especially if root-only ioctls are involved; I'm
not sure about that.)

Change the locking on -&gt;session such that:

 - tty_lock() is held by all writers: By making disassociate_ctty()
   hold it. This should be fine because the same lock can already be
   taken through the call to tty_vhangup_session().
   The tricky part is that we need to shorten the area covered by
   siglock to be able to take tty_lock() without ugly retry logic; as
   far as I can tell, this should be fine, since nothing in the
   signal_struct is touched in the `if (tty)` branch.
 - ctrl_lock is held by all writers: By changing __proc_set_tty() to
   hold the lock a little longer.
 - All readers that aren't holding tty_lock() hold ctrl_lock: By
   adding locking to tiocgsid() and __do_SAK(), and expanding the area
   covered by ctrl_lock in tiocspgrp().

<title>tty: Fix -&gt;pgrp locking in tiocspgrp()</title>

commit 54ffccbf053b5b6ca4f6e45094b942fab92a25fc upstream.

tiocspgrp() takes two tty_struct pointers: One to the tty that userspace
passed to ioctl() (`tty`) and one to the TTY being changed (`real_tty`).
These pointers are different when ioctl() is called with a master fd.

To properly lock real_tty-&gt;pgrp, we must take real_tty-&gt;ctrl_lock.

This bug makes it possible for racing ioctl(TIOCSPGRP, ...) calls on
both sides of a PTY pair to corrupt the refcount of `struct pid`,
leading to use-after-free errors.

Fixes: 47f86834bbd4 ("redo locking of tty-&gt;pgrp")

This makes it easier for job control to become optional and/or usable
independently from tty_io.c, as well as providing a nice purpose
separation. No logical changes from this patch.
