From 485a252a5559b45d7df04c819ec91177c62c270b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2016 16:28:09 -0700 Subject: seccomp: Fix tracer exit notifications during fatal signals This fixes a ptrace vs fatal pending signals bug as manifested in seccomp now that seccomp was reordered to happen after ptrace. The short version is that seccomp should not attempt to call do_exit() while fatal signals are pending under a tracer. The existing code was trying to be as defensively paranoid as possible, but it now ends up confusing ptrace. Instead, the syscall can just be skipped (which solves the original concern that the do_exit() was addressing) and normal signal handling, tracer notification, and process death can happen. Paraphrasing from the original bug report: If a tracee task is in a PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP trap, or has been resumed after such a trap but not yet been scheduled, and another task in the thread-group calls exit_group(), then the tracee task exits without the ptracer receiving a PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT notification. Test case here: https://gist.github.com/khuey/3c43ac247c72cef8c956ca73281c9be7 The bug happens because when __seccomp_filter() detects fatal_signal_pending(), it calls do_exit() without dequeuing the fatal signal. When do_exit() sends the PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT notification and that task is descheduled, __schedule() notices that there is a fatal signal pending and changes its state from TASK_TRACED to TASK_RUNNING. That prevents the ptracer's waitpid() from returning the ptrace event. A more detailed analysis is here: https://github.com/mozilla/rr/issues/1762#issuecomment-237396255.
