Linux (Ubuntu) - Other Users coredumps Can Be Read via setgid Directory and killpriv Bypass

/*
Note: I am both sending this bug report to [email protected] and filing it in
the Ubuntu bugtracker because I can't tell whether this counts as a kernel bug
or as a Ubuntu bug. You may wish to talk to each other to determine the best
place to fix this.

I noticed halfdog's old writeup at
https://www.halfdog.net/Security/2015/SetgidDirectoryPrivilegeEscalation/
, describing essentially the following behavior in combination with a
trick for then writing to the resulting file without triggering the
killpriv logic:


=============
user@debian:~/sgid_demo$ sudo mkdir -m03777 dir
user@debian:~/sgid_demo$ cat > demo.c
#include <fcntl.h>
int main(void) { open("dir/file", O_RDONLY|O_CREAT, 02755); }
user@debian:~/sgid_demo$ gcc -o demo demo.c
user@debian:~/sgid_demo$ ./demo
user@debian:~/sgid_demo$ ls -l dir/file
-rwxr-sr-x 1 user root 0 Jun 25 22:03 dir/file
=============


Two patches for this were proposed on LKML back then:
"[PATCH 1/2] fs: Check f_cred instead of current's creds in
should_remove_suid()"
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/9318903980969a0e378dab2de4d803397adcd3cc.1485377903.git.luto@kernel.org/

"[PATCH 2/2] fs: Harden against open(..., O_CREAT, 02777) in a setgid directory"
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/826ec4aab64ec304944098d15209f8c1ae65bb29.1485377903.git.luto@kernel.org/

However, as far as I can tell, neither of them actually landed.


You can also bypass the killpriv logic with fallocate() and mmap() -
fallocate() permits resizing the file without triggering killpriv,
mmap() permits writing without triggering killpriv (the mmap part is mentioned
at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAGXu5jLu6OGkQUgqRcOyQ6DABOwZ9HX3fUQ+-zC7NjLukGKnVw@mail.gmail.com/
):

  memcpy(mapping, src_mapping, src_len);

  munmap(mapping, src_len);

  close(src_fd);

  execl("./dir/file", "id", NULL);
  err(1, "execl");

=============


sys_copy_file_range() also looks as if it bypasses killpriv on
supported filesystems, but I haven't tested that one so far.

On Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic), /var/crash is mode 03777, group "whoopsie", and
contains group-readable crashdumps in some custom format, so you can use this
issue to steal other users' crashdumps:
