commit f84df2a6f268de584a201e8911384a2d244876e3 upstream.

When the user namespace support was merged the need to prevent
ptrace from revealing the contents of an unreadable executable
was overlooked.

Correct this oversight by ensuring that the executed file
or files are in mm-&gt;user_ns, by adjusting mm-&gt;user_ns.

Use the new function privileged_wrt_inode_uidgid to see if
the executable is a member of the user namespace, and as such
if having CAP_SYS_PTRACE in the user namespace should allow
tracing the executable.  If not update mm-&gt;user_ns to
the parent user namespace until an appropriate parent is found.

commit 64b875f7ac8a5d60a4e191479299e931ee949b67 upstream.

When the flag PT_PTRACE_CAP was added the PTRACE_TRACEME path was
overlooked.  This can result in incorrect behavior when an application
like strace traces an exec of a setuid executable.

Further PT_PTRACE_CAP does not have enough information for making good
security decisions as it does not report which user namespace the
capability is in.  This has already allowed one mistake through
insufficient granulariy.

I found this issue when I was testing another corner case of exec and
discovered that I could not get strace to set PT_PTRACE_CAP even when
running strace as root with a full set of caps.

This change fixes the above issue with strace allowing stracing as
root a setuid executable without disabling setuid.  More fundamentaly
this change allows what is allowable at all times, by using the correct
information in it's decision.

<title>mm: Add a user_ns owner to mm_struct and fix ptrace permission checks</title>

<id>urn:sha1:03eed7afbc09e061f66b448daf7863174c3dc3f3</id>
<content type='text'>
commit bfedb589252c01fa505ac9f6f2a3d5d68d707ef4 upstream.

During exec dumpable is cleared if the file that is being executed is
not readable by the user executing the file.  A bug in
ptrace_may_access allows reading the file if the executable happens to
enter into a subordinate user namespace (aka clone(CLONE_NEWUSER),
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER), or setns(fd, CLONE_NEWUSER).

This problem is fixed with only necessary userspace breakage by adding
a user namespace owner to mm_struct, captured at the time of exec, so
it is clear in which user namespace CAP_SYS_PTRACE must be present in
to be able to safely give read permission to the executable.

The function ptrace_may_access is modified to verify that the ptracer
has CAP_SYS_ADMIN in task-&gt;mm-&gt;user_ns instead of task-&gt;cred-&gt;user_ns.
This ensures that if the task changes it's cred into a subordinate
user namespace it does not become ptraceable.

The function ptrace_attach is modified to only set PT_PTRACE_CAP when
CAP_SYS_PTRACE is held over task-&gt;mm-&gt;user_ns.  The intent of
PT_PTRACE_CAP is to be a flag to note that whatever permission changes
the task might go through the tracer has sufficient permissions for
it not to be an issue.  task-&gt;cred-&gt;user_ns is always the same
as or descendent of mm-&gt;user_ns.  Which guarantees that having
CAP_SYS_PTRACE over mm-&gt;user_ns is the worst case for the tasks
credentials.

To prevent regressions mm-&gt;dumpable and mm-&gt;user_ns are not considered
when a task has no mm.  As simply failing ptrace_may_attach causes
regressions in privileged applications attempting to read things
such as /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/stat

<title>hotplug: Make register and unregister notifier API symmetric</title>

commit 777c6e0daebb3fcefbbd6f620410a946b07ef6d0 upstream.

Yu Zhao has noticed that __unregister_cpu_notifier only unregisters its
notifiers when HOTPLUG_CPU=y while the registration might succeed even
when HOTPLUG_CPU=n if MODULE is enabled. This means that e.g. zswap
might keep a stale notifier on the list on the manual clean up during
the pool tear down and thus corrupt the list. Resulting in the following

[  144.964346] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880658a2be78

This can be even triggered manually by changing

Fix this issue by making unregister APIs symmetric to the register so
there are no surprises.

<content type='text'>
commit 910170442944e1f8674fd5ddbeeb8ccd1877ea98 upstream.

Somehow I ended up with an off-by-three error in calculating the size of
the PASID and PASID State tables, which triggers allocations failures as
those tables unfortunately have to be physically contiguous.

In fact, even the *correct* maximum size of 8MiB is problematic and is
wont to lead to allocation failures. Since I have extracted a promise
that this *will* be fixed in hardware, I'm happy to limit it on the
current hardware to a maximum of 0x20000 PASIDs, which gives us 1MiB
tables — still not ideal, but better than before.

Reported by Mika Kuoppala &lt;mika.kuoppala@linux.intel.com&gt; and also by
Xunlei Pang &lt;xlpang@redhat.com&gt; who submitted a simpler patch to fix
only the allocation (and not the free) to the "correct" limit... which
was still problematic.

[ Upstream commit ac6e780070e30e4c35bd395acfe9191e6268bdd3 ]

With syzkaller help, Marco Grassi found a bug in TCP stack,
crashing in tcp_collapse()

Root cause is that sk_filter() can truncate the incoming skb,
but TCP stack was not really expecting this to happen.
It probably was expecting a simple DROP or ACCEPT behavior.

We first need to make sure no part of TCP header could be removed.
Then we need to adjust TCP_SKB_CB(skb)-&gt;end_seq

Many thanks to syzkaller team and Marco for giving us a reproducer.

[ Upstream commit fcd91dd449867c6bfe56a81cabba76b829fd05cd ]

Currently, GRO can do unlimited recursion through the gro_receive
handlers.  This was fixed for tunneling protocols by limiting tunnel GRO
to one level with encap_mark, but both VLAN and TEB still have this
problem.  Thus, the kernel is vulnerable to a stack overflow, if we
receive a packet composed entirely of VLAN headers.

This patch adds a recursion counter to the GRO layer to prevent stack
overflow.  When a gro_receive function hits the recursion limit, GRO is
aborted for this skb and it is processed normally.  This recursion
counter is put in the GRO CB, but could be turned into a percpu counter
if we run out of space in the CB.

Thanks to Vladimír Beneš &lt;vbenes@redhat.com&gt; for the initial bug report.
