Bug#329087: Bug#329090: util-vserver: barrier not working, but chroot escape does

2005-10-28 Thread Ola Lundqvist
reassign 329090 kernel-patch-vserver
retitle 329090 barrier not working, but chroot escape does on 2.4 kernel
tags 329090 + moreinfo
merge 329087 329090
thanks

Hi

With this information I'm now reassigning this to the kernel-patch-vserver
package and merging it to the existing bug there.

A simple fix is to simply remove the 2.4 kernel patches from the package
or maybe replace with 2.4 development branch patches (if such exist).

Regards,

// Ola

   Using all debian sarge componants:

   Conclusion: either the fixes to testfs caused error 114 and 124 to go

No, these issues are not present in 2.6 (using the debian 2.6.8 and the
debian kernel-patch-vserver, both from sarge). I am trying to find out if
this is a kernel problem with the debian 2.4.27 kernel in sarge, or a
vserver patch problem.

Thanks a lot for the information.

Isn't it so that the 2.4 patches follow the old stable branch of util-vserver
while the 2.6 patches followed the development branch?

Same result as you got, seems the testfs #1 and #2 shows no difference,
but the exploit works on #1's setup, not on #2.

# ./rootesc
cd ..: Permission denied
chmod: Operation not permitted
cd ..: Permission denied
chmod: Operation not permitted
(alternating a few times)
then the false:
Exploit seems to work. =)
(because it always shows this line, actually it failed, but nobody
bothered to fix up the exploit bug)

 Test #3
 Using debian sarge componants with upstream util-vserver:
 kernel-source: 2.4.27-10 (debian sarge)
 util-vserver: 0.30-208+fix03 (upstream)
 kernel-patch: 1.9.5.3 (debian sarge)
 
 Only test 106 fails... Not 104, 114, 122 or 124.
 
 Conclusion: either the fixes to testfs caused 104, 114, 122, 124 to go
 away or you have a different kernel-source or kernel-patch applied, try
 with testfs.sh-0.11 to see, or just try with a current sarge kernel and
 patch since that is all that matters here.

In your test #3, you used the 0.30-208+fix03 from upstream, and I am
using the one from sid, let's see any difference:
I upgrade the util-vserver from sid on sarge(libc6 libc6-dev locales are
also to be upgraded). These are the messages I got:

 Hi,
 
 Ok, I've done a few things. First I've tested and determined a number of
 problems with the testfs.sh-0.99 that was being used. Bertl has
 incorporated my changes, and fixed a number of others and has made
 testfs.sh-0.11 which more accurately represents successes.

Ok, good to know.

 Additionally, I've gotten a system together with a fresh sarge install
 that I could test these things. I have completed my tests with the 2.4
 kernel and kernel patch, and am limiting this reply that only, I will do
 the 2.6 tests next and report those back as separate findings.

Really nice.

 You need to CC control@ in order for these commands to take affect. If
 you will notice, this bug is still on util-vserver.

I decided to not reassign it but obviously forgot to remove those lines...

 However, as you will find from my exhaustive tests below, it seems to
 remain a bug with util-vserver, and should not be changed (at least for
 2.4, once I have done tests on 2.6 we will know if this bug needs to be
 cloned and the 2.4 issues stay with util-vserver, and the 2.6 versions
 go to the kernel-patch).

Decided as I figured that this could be the case.

  I have only tested with ext2 and ext3 on my systems on a 2.4.27 kernel
  patched a long time ago. Do not remember when.
 
 This isn't going to help us too much. You are basically saying that this
 is a 2.4.27 kernel, but not which debian version, and you aren't
 specifying which vserver kernel-patch you are running. Without that
 information, it is really hard to correlate.

I know. I just wanted to have some more test data with something else
to try to determine something from it.

 However, I've done tests with the current versions that are in sarge
 now. See below.

Ok.

 My tests:
 
 Test #1
 Using all debian sarge componants:
 kernel-source: 2.4.27-10 (debian sarge)
 util-vserver: 0.30-204-5sarge2 (debian sarge)
 kernel-patch: 1.9.5.3 (debian sarge)
 
 103, 104, 106, 109, 121, 122 all fail on ext2, not 114 or 124 as your
 tests show.
 
 Conclusion: either the fixes to testfs caused error 114 and 124 to go
 away, or you have a different kernel-source or kernel-patch applied.
 Either try again with testfs.sh-0.11 or install the latest sarge kernel
 source and kernel-patch-vserver as those versions are all that matter here.

I'll use your test data instead.

 Test #2
 Using only debian sarge util-vserver:
 kernel-source: 2.4.31 (upstream)
 util-vserver: 0.30-204-5sarge2 (debian sarge)
 kernel-patch: 1.2.10 (upstream)
 
 
 103, 104, 106, 109, 121, 122 all fail on ext2, the same as failed using
 all debian sarge componants in test #1.
 
 Conclusion: based on the results from this test, and the previous, it is
 clear that the debian kernel source and the debian kernel patch dont
 make a difference here

 Only test 106 fails, same as the previous test, when we use the debian
 sarge kernel-source and kernel-patch.
 
 Conclusion: Based on the results of this test, and the previous, it is
 clear that the debian sarge kernel source and debian sarge kernel patch
 don't make a difference here either, the problem has been isolated to
 util-vserver 0.30-204-5sarge2 in sarge. If this is actually a problem, I
 do not know, this definatetly needs to be determined. Additionally, test
 106 could be in error, this should also be checked.

Good to know.

 
 The above tests are only done with ext2, I am not sure why you didn't do
 the xfs, reiserfs and jfs tests, but there is no need, as I have done them:

Hello

Thanks a lot for your testing.

Micah could you test with 0.30.208-2 version of util-vserver (from unstable)
and a 2.6 kernel to see if you can remove all the problems?

See below why I would like you do that.

---

I have only tested with ext2 and ext3 on my systems on a 2.4.27 kernel
patched a long time ago. Do not remember when.

0.30.204-5sarge2 (sarge version, built on machine with no vserver support):

[121]* [122]* [123]. [124]* [199]. 

0.30.204-5sarge3 (sarge version recompiled on vserver machine):
[000]. xattr related tests ...
[101]. [102]. [103]* [104]* [106]* [108]. [109]* 
[112]. [113]. [114]* [115]. [116]. [117]. [118]. [119]. 
[121]* [122]* [123]. [124]* [199]. 

0.30.208-2 (unstable version, built on sarge host with no vserver support):
[000]. xattr related tests ...
[101]. [102]. [103]. [104]* [106]. [108]. [109]. 
[112]. [113]. [114]* [115]. [116]. [117]. [118]. [119]. 
[121]. [122]* [123]. [124]* [199].

[101]. [102]. [103]. [104]* [106]. [108]. [109].

[121]. [122]* [123]. [124]* [199]. 

So my conclusion is that where you build the binary (if it is a i386 machine)
do not give any difference from a security point of view.

Now to your testing...

  already, so I use /dev/loop4 in my case.

Did similar but used lvm instead of loopback device.

 The following is the results of my tests:
 
 For all tests the following packages need to be installed:
 xfsprogs jfsutils reiserfsprogs reiser4progs util-vserver
 (0.30.204-5sarge2 unless otherwise noted)
 
 Procedure is to do:
 1. # dd bs=1024k count=1024 if=/dev/zero of=/home/1gb.testfile
 2. # losetup /dev/loop4 /home/1gb.testfile
 3. # mkdir /mnt2
 
 On 2.6 kernels the following switches were used to test:
 4. # ./testfs.sh-0.09 -vv -D /dev/loop4 -M /mnt2
 
 Test 1:
 
 Sarge kernel 2.6.8 (2.6.8-16) with debian package kernel-patch-vserver
 (debian package version: 1.9.5.3, kernel patch:
 patch-2.6.8-15-vs1.9.5.x-4.diff.gz) applied on an i386 machine.
 
 
 Results:
 All the tests succeed on ext2/ext3/reiserfs, the following fail:
 xfs: 103, 106, 113, 115, 117
 jfs: 104, 114, 121, 122, 123, 124

Which means that this is a kernel patch problem as it fail on my system
with an older kernel patch.

This also mean that this is actually just a bug with 2.4 kernels.

 Test 2:
 
 Sarge kernel 2.6.8 (2.6.8-16) with debian kernel-patch-vserver (debian
 package version: 1.9.5.4 (not in sarge), kernel patch
 patch-2.6.8-15-vs1.9.5.x-5.diff.gz) applied on an i386 machine.
 
 Results:
 Exactly the same as the results from Test 1
 
 Test 3:
 
 Sarge kernel 2.4.27 (2.4.27-10) with the debian kernel-patch-vserver
 (debian package version: 1.9.5.3, kernel patch
 patch-2.4.27-9-vs1.2.10-2.diff.gz) applied on an i386 machine.
 
 Results:
 
 ext2/ext3 failures: 103, 104, 106, 109, 114, 121, 122, 124
 xfs failures: 103, 104, 106, 109, 114, 115, 117, 121, 122, 124

 122, 123, 124

Get the same result. Think I have used a similar patch.
[103]* [104]* [106]* [109]* [114]* [121]* [122]* [124]*

 Note: Bertl says this is a failure with the util-vserver tools, so I
 perform the test again with util-vserver .208 from unstable:
 
 Test 4:
 Sarge kernel 2.4.27 (2.4.27-10) with the debian kernel-patch-vserver

 util-vserver tools from unstable (0.30.208-2)

No, VCI:  none   (unknown) is fine in 2.4 because 2.4 has no VCI info.

How did you tested and found what kind of security problem?
 
I assume you found you couldn't pass the test 109,121 of testfs.sh Â
 
script, right?
 
Actually I run the rootesc program and saw that it was possible to
 
escape.
 
I think the rootesc program is only working for the bug in 2.4 kernel
patches in Debian, for other fails in testfs.sh, I guess probably
needs other exploit.
 
I have upgraded to 0.30.208-2, I still got the same fails on i386, Â
 
but no errors on powerpc after I rebuilt the util-vserver package Â
 
from source.
 
Ahh now I see. Missed that you used different architectures in your
 
testing.
 
Yes, that's why I have another powerpc related bug report.
Sorry for the confusion, I will help to test on i386 and powerpc for
you.
 
I wonder why it do not fail after your rebuild. Maybe it pass
 
only if I compile on a vserver patched system...
 
Could you please confirm this?

I just got a report that Bertl have discovered that most util-vserver do
make a compile-time check if it is a patched system, otherwise it revert
to i386. It explain why it work for you when you recompile on powerpc.

Maybe, I should recompile the kernel patch+tools on i386 with a
vserver 2.0 patched system, cause I got fails on 2.6.12 and
util-vserver 0.30.208-2 from sid still, but all pass with same version
from sid on powerpc after a rebuild of util-vserver package.

If would be really nice if you could do that as I'm in Germany this
week.

Thanks

 I think the testfs.sh script will give you information of VCI and do  
 the real checks on each task after you setup /dev/loop4 correctly.
 If the testfs.sh give you fails on 109 and 121, that can confirm this  
 is bug.
 For other fails, you may ask Bertl, cause upstream author knows much  
 more than me, also much better than I forward your questions to him. :)
 
 I suggest to put or mention these test tasks in util-vserver package  
 for our users to make sure the vserver patch+tools work properly.
 Should I create another report as wistlist or only mentioned here is  
 enough?

Good Idea. Filing a new bug about this now.

 I'm not sure if this is related, but Bertl has found that the
 util-vserver packages in sarge don't work for most architectures.
 The util-vserver syscall stuff seems to do a compile-time check if
 the vserver syscall for a given architecture works, and if it does
 not, it falls back to the _i386_ syscall number.
 
 Bertl's tests also indicate that this problem still exists in sarge
 for some architectures.
 
 He has put together some of his tests at:
 http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/Debian/
 
 (the util-vserver* files)
 
 If it turns out that this is not related we should probably file a
 separate bugreport about this issue, since it makes the util-vserver
 package useless on most architectures.

Thanks a lot for the information. It is most probably related but
not 100% sure.

on the
sid kernel-patch-vserver + linux-source-2.6.12 system to see if  
this is a

problem with util-vserver or with the kernel patches.



I tested that several days ago, I was upgraded kernel on my system  
first and then I got the same fails from the test of testfs.sh script  
again.
I have upgraded to 0.30.208-2, I still got the same fails on i386,  
but no errors on powerpc after I rebuilt the util-vserver package  
from source.


Here is how I did the test and what I got on an i386 machine:

 I have now tested on one of my systems and that I have a security

 On the other system (2.4.26 + grsec) the problem do not exist. So  
 I'm not
 sure if I can confim or deny this.
 
 How did you tested and found what kind of security problem?
 I assume you found you couldn't pass the test 109,121 of testfs.sh  
 script, right?

Actually I run the rootesc program and saw that it was possible to
escape.

 Let me quote the explanation from upstream:

Ahh now I see. Missed that you used different architectures in your
testing.

Ok, thanks.

I wonder why it do not fail after your rebuild. Maybe it pass
only if I compile on a vserver patched system...

 [2] http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/rootesc.c

I'm not sure if this is related, but Bertl has found that the
util-vserver packages in sarge don't work for most architectures.
The util-vserver syscall stuff seems to do a compile-time check if
the vserver syscall for a given architecture works, and if it does
not, it falls back to the _i386_ syscall number.

Bertl's tests also indicate that this problem still exists in sarge
for some architectures.

He has put together some of his tests at:
http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/Debian/

(the util-vserver* files)

If it turns out that this is not related we should probably file a
separate bugreport about this issue, since it makes the util-vserver
package useless on most architectures.

Cheers,
Christian Aichinger

linux-source-2.6.12-6+kernel-patch-vserver-2.0, but never successed on i386.

Could you please run the same test as I did on your side to see if you

The upstream author said the test the 109 verifies that barrier was
removed correctly, while the test 121 checks that it was set correctly.
So I think these are potential security holes in current version of
util-vserver in Debian, not only in sarge.
