From: Jann Horn Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2016 22:31:22 +0000 (+0200) Subject: aio: mark AIO pseudo-fs noexec X-Git-Tag: v4.13~2305 X-Git-Url: https://git.proxmox.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=22f6b4d34fcf039c63a94e7670e0da24f8575a5a;p=mirror_ubuntu-bionic-kernel.git aio: mark AIO pseudo-fs noexec This ensures that do_mmap() won't implicitly make AIO memory mappings executable if the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag is set. Such behavior is problematic because the security_mmap_file LSM hook doesn't catch this case, potentially permitting an attacker to bypass a W^X policy enforced by SELinux. I have tested the patch on my machine. To test the behavior, compile and run this: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include #include #include #include #include #include #include int main(void) { personality(READ_IMPLIES_EXEC); aio_context_t ctx = 0; if (syscall(__NR_io_setup, 1, &ctx)) err(1, "io_setup"); char cmd[1000]; sprintf(cmd, "cat /proc/%d/maps | grep -F '/[aio]'", (int)getpid()); system(cmd); return 0; } In the output, "rw-s" is good, "rwxs" is bad.
