From bfb819ea20ce8bbeeba17e1a6418bf8bda91fc28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Tue, 25 May 2021 12:37:35 -0700 Subject: proc: Check /proc/$pid/attr/ writes against file opener Fix another "confused deputy" weakness[1]. Writes to /proc/$pid/attr/ files need to check the opener credentials, since these fds do not transition state across execve(). Without this, it is possible to trick another process (which may have different credentials) to write to its own /proc/$pid/attr/ files, leading to unexpected and possibly exploitable behaviors.
