Android - binder Use-After-Free via fdget() Optimization
Код:
This bug report describes *two* different issues in different branches of the
binder kernel code.
The first issue is in the upstream Linux kernel,
commit 7f3dc0088b98 ("binder: fix proc->files use-after-free");
the second issue is in the wahoo kernel (and maybe elsewhere? but at least the
android common kernel for 4.4 doesn't seem to contain this code...),
commit 1b652c7c29b7 ("FROMLIST: binder: fix proc->files use-after-free")
(WARNING: NOT the same as "UPSTREAM: binder: fix proc->files use-after-free" in
the android common kernel!).

Some background: In the Linux kernel, normally, when a `struct file *` is read
from the file descriptor table, the reference counter of the `struct file` is
bumped to account for the extra reference; this happens in fget(). Later, if the
extra reference is not needed anymore, the refcount is dropped via fput().
A negative effect of this is that, if the `struct file` is frequently accessed,
the cacheline containing the reference count is constantly dirty; and if the
`struct file` is used by multiple tasks in parallel, cache line bouncing occurs.

Linux provides the helpers fdget() and fdput() to avoid this overhead.
fdget() checks whether the reference count of the file descriptor table is 1,
implying that the current task has sole ownership of the file descriptor table
and no concurrent modifications of the file descriptor table can occur. If this
check succeeds, fdget() then omits the reference count increment on the
`struct file`. fdget() sets a flag in its return value that signals to fdput()
whether a reference count has been taken. If so, fdput() uses the normal fput()
logic; if not, fdput() does nothing.

This optimization relies on a few rules, including:

A) A reference taken via fdget() must be dropped with fdput() before the end of
   the syscall.
B) A task's reference to its file descriptor table may only be duplicated for
   writing if that task is known to not be between fdget() and fdput().
C) A task that might be between an elided fdget() and fdput() must not
   use ksys_close() on the same file descriptor number as used for fdget().



The current upstream code violates rule C. The following sequence of events can
cause fput() to drop the reference count of an in-use binder file to drop to
zero:

Task A and task B are connected via binder; task A has /dev/binder open at
file descriptor number X. Both tasks are single-threaded.

 - task B sends a binder message with a file descriptor array (BINDER_TYPE_FDA)
   containing one file descriptor to task A
 - task A reads the binder message with the translated file descriptor number Y
 - task A uses dup2(X, Y) to overwrite file descriptor Y with the /dev/binder
   file
 - task A unmaps the userspace binder memory mapping; the reference count on
   task A's /dev/binder is now 2
 - task A closes file descriptor X; the reference count on task A's /dev/binder
   is now 1
 - task A invokes the BC_FREE_BUFFER command on file descriptor X to release the
   incoming binder message
 - fdget() elides the reference count increment, since the file descriptor
   table is not shared
 - the BC_FREE_BUFFER handler removes the file descriptor table entry for X and
   decrements the reference count of task A's /dev/binder file to zero

Because fput() uses the task work mechanism to actually free the file, this
doesn't immediately cause a use-after-free that KASAN can detect; for that, the
following sequence of events works:

[...]
 - task A closes file descriptor X; the reference count on task A's /dev/binder
   is now 1
 - task A forks off a child, task C, duplicating the file descriptor table; the
   reference count on task A's /dev/binder is now 2
 - task A invokes the BC_FREE_BUFFER command on file descriptor X to release the
   incoming binder message
 - fdget() in ksys_ioctl() elides the reference count increment, since the file
   descriptor table is not shared
 - the BC_FREE_BUFFER handler removes the file descriptor table entry for X and
   decrements the reference count of task A's /dev/binder file to 1
 - task C calls close(X), which drops the reference count of task A's
   /dev/binder to 0 and frees it
 - task A continues processing of the ioctl and accesses some property of e.g.
   the binder_proc => KASAN-detectable UAF

To reproduce this on an upstream git master kernel on a normal machine, unpack
the attached binder_fdget.tar, apply the patch
0001-binder-upstream-repro-aid.patch to the kernel (adds some logging and an
msleep() call), make sure that the kernel is configured with Binder and KASAN,
build and boot into the kernel, then build the PoC with ./compile.sh.
Invoke "./exploit_manager" in one terminal and "./exploit_client" in another
terminal. You should see a splat like this in dmesg:

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



The code in the msm kernel (at least branches android-msm-wahoo-4.4-pie and
android-msm-wahoo-4.4-pie-qpr1) contains a different bug. In this version of the
code, the binder driver does not hold a long-lived reference to the files_struct
of each task, as it used to, but instead uses
binder_get_files_struct()->get_files_struct() to grab the file descriptor table
of the target task for short-lived operations. Apart from the problems in
interaction with non-bounded privilege transitions, this is also problematic
because it violates rule B: In particular task_close_fd() can close a file
descriptor in another process while that other process is potentially in the
middle of a filesystem operation that uses an elided fdget().

The bug triggers in the following scenario (not quite what my PoC does, but
should give you the basic idea):

 - task B opens some file as file descriptor number Y
 - task A starts sending a transaction to task B
 - the kernel transfers one file descriptor to task B, creating file descriptor
   number X in task B
 - task B uses dup2(Y, X) to override file descriptor number X with file F
 - task B closes file descriptor number Y
 - task B enters a syscall such as read()/write()/... on file descriptor number
   X
 - the kernel continues transferring the transaction from A, but encounters an
   error (e.g. invalid fd number) and has to bail out, triggering cleanup of
   already-transferred file descriptors
 - while task B is in the middle of a syscall, task A closes task B's file
   descriptor number X

To test this on-device, I would have to write code to talk to the service
manager and somehow get the service manager to connect two binder files with
each other for me, which seems complicated. Therefore, instead, I took the
following files from the Android wahoo kernel and copied them into an upstream
git master tree, then fixed up the incompatibilities:

drivers/android/Kconfig
drivers/android/Makefile
drivers/android/binder.c
drivers/android/binder_alloc.c
drivers/android/binder_alloc.h
drivers/android/binder_trace.h
include/uapi/linux/android/binder.h

The attached binder_fdget_wahoo.tar contains three patches:

0001-copy-over-binder-files-from-wahoo-4.4.patch: copy the files from wahoo into
        the upstream git master tree
0002-fix-up-for-git-master.patch: make it build
0003-binder-stuff-for-testing.patch: add some sleeps and prints for reproducing
        the bug

Apply these to the upstream kernel and build it (make sure that it is configured
to build with binder and KASAN). Then compile the wahoo PoC with ./compile.sh,
run ./exploit_manager in one terminal, and run ./exploit_client in another
terminal. You should get a splat like this:

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



I think the robust fix for this might be to change ksys_ioctl() and the compat
ioctl syscall to use fget()/fput() instead of fdget()/fdput(). Unless someone
out there has a workload that very frequently calls ioctl() from concurrent
single-threaded processes that share a struct file, I doubt that this would have
significant performance impact, and I think it should be an appropriate fix for
the upstream kernel, too.
