SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 06/11] rlimits: do security check under task_lock
(add selinux maintainers)

First of all, my apologies for the huge delay. And I still didn't
read the whole series, sorry.

Oh. Can't we just ignore this (imho minor) race ? Or just verify/document that
current_has_perm() can be called under task_lock. Actually, I do not think
we have a race, selinux_task_setrlimit() only checks that the caller has
rights to change the rlimits.

And. Given that avc_has_perm() can be called from irq context (say,
selinux_file_send_sigiotask or selinux_task_kill), we can assume it is safe
to call it under task_lock() which is not irq-safe.

But. OTOH, if we are really worried about security_ ops, then we have another
reason to call this hook under task_lock(), and we probably want to modify
selinux_bprm_committing_creds() to take this lock too:

--- security/selinux/hooks.c
+++ security/selinux/hooks.c
@@ -2333,11 +2333,14 @@ static void selinux_bprm_committing_cred
rc = avc_has_perm(new_tsec->osid, new_tsec->sid, SECCLASS_PROCESS,
PROCESS__RLIMITINH, NULL);
if (rc) {
+ /* protects against do_prlimit() */
+ task_lock(current);
for (i = 0; i < RLIM_NLIMITS; i++) {
rlim = current->signal->rlim + i;
initrlim = init_task.signal->rlim + i;
rlim->rlim_cur = min(rlim->rlim_max, initrlim->rlim_cur);
}
+ task_unlock(current);
update_rlimit_cpu(current->signal->rlim[RLIMIT_CPU].rlim_cur);
}
}

Finally. selinux_task_setrlimit(p) uses __task_cred(p) for the check.
This looks a bit strange, different threads can have different creds
but obviously rlimits are per-process.

Perhaps it makes sense to do selinux_task_setrlimit(p->group_leader)?
At least in this case the result should be "consistent".

Oleg.
