macOS XNU - Missing Locking in checkdirs_callback() Enables Race with fchdir_common()
Код:
On macOS, when a new mount point is created, the kernel uses checkdirs() to, as
a comment above the function explains: "Scan all active processes to see if any
of them have a current or root directory onto which the new filesystem has just
been mounted. If so, replace them with the new mount point."

In other words, XNU behaves as follows:

$ hdiutil attach ./mount_cwd.img -nomount
/dev/disk2
$ cd mnt
$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r--  1 projectzero  staff  0 Aug  6 18:05 underlying
$ mount -t msdos -o nobrowse /dev/disk2 .
$ ls -l
total 0
-rwxrwxrwx  1 projectzero  staff  0 Aug  6 18:04 onfat
$

(This is different from e.g. Linux, where the cwd would still point to the
directory on the root filesystem that is now covered by the mountpoint, and the
second "ls -l" would show the same output as the first one.)


checkdirs() uses proc_iterate() to execute checkdirs_callback() on each running
process. checkdirs_callback() is implemented as follows:

======================================================
static int
checkdirs_callback(proc_t p, void * arg)
{
        struct cdirargs * cdrp = (struct cdirargs * )arg;
        vnode_t olddp = cdrp->olddp;
        vnode_t newdp = cdrp->newdp;
        struct filedesc *fdp;
        vnode_t tvp;
        vnode_t fdp_cvp;
        vnode_t fdp_rvp;
        int cdir_changed = 0;
        int rdir_changed = 0;

        /*
         * XXX Also needs to iterate each thread in the process to see if it
         * XXX is using a per-thread current working directory, and, if so,
         * XXX update that as well.
         */

        proc_fdlock(p);
        fdp = p->p_fd;
        if (fdp == (struct filedesc *)0) {
                proc_fdunlock(p);
                return(PROC_RETURNED);
        }
        fdp_cvp = fdp->fd_cdir;
        fdp_rvp = fdp->fd_rdir;
        proc_fdunlock(p);

        if (fdp_cvp == olddp) {
                vnode_ref(newdp);
                tvp = fdp->fd_cdir;
                fdp_cvp = newdp;
                cdir_changed = 1;
                vnode_rele(tvp);
        }
        if (fdp_rvp == olddp) {
                vnode_ref(newdp);
                tvp = fdp->fd_rdir;
                fdp_rvp = newdp;
                rdir_changed = 1;
                vnode_rele(tvp);
        }
        if (cdir_changed || rdir_changed) {
                proc_fdlock(p);
                fdp->fd_cdir = fdp_cvp;
                fdp->fd_rdir = fdp_rvp;
                proc_fdunlock(p);
        }
        return(PROC_RETURNED);
}
======================================================

`p->p_fd` contains the current working directory (`->fd_cdir`) and
root directory (`->fd_rdir`) of the process; it is protected against
modification by proc_fdlock()/proc_fdunlock(). Because checkdirs_callback()
does not hold that lock across the entire operation, several races are possible;
for example:

 - If `fdp->fd_cdir == olddp` is true and `fdp->fd_cdir` changes between the
   read `tvp = fdp->fd_cdir;` and the second `proc_fdlock(p);`,
   `vnode_rele(tvp);` will release a nonexistent reference, leading to reference
   count underflow.
 - If `fdp->fd_cdir == olddp` is true and the process calls chroot() between the
   first locked region and the second locked region, a dangling pointer will be
   written back to `fdp->fd_rdir`.


I have written a simple reproducer for the first scenario; however, since the
race window is quite narrow, it uses dtrace to make the race easier to hit (so
you have to turn off SIP).
