ns_capable() eventually gets you to an audit call. The audit code is going to do the locking. Fortunately, the preceding cap_issubset() is the check that we really need here. > > > Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <[email protected]> > > --- > > kernel/ptrace.c | 2 -- > > security/commoncap.c | 2 ++ > > 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > > > diff --git a/kernel/ptrace.c b/kernel/ptrace.c > > index 99cfddde6a55..0b6a9df51c3b 100644 > > --- a/kernel/ptrace.c > > +++ b/kernel/ptrace.c > > @@ -331,8 +331,6 @@ static int __ptrace_may_access(struct task_struct > *task, unsigned int mode) > > !ptrace_has_cap(mm->user_ns, mode))) > > return -EPERM; > > > > - if (mode & PTRACE_MODE_SCHED) > > - return 0; > > return security_ptrace_access_check(task, mode); > > } > > > > diff --git a/security/commoncap.c b/security/commoncap.c > > index 2e489d6a3ac8..e77457110d05 100644 > > --- a/security/commoncap.c > > +++ b/security/commoncap.c > > @@ -152,6 +152,8 @@ int cap_ptrace_access_check(struct task_struct > *child, unsigned int mode) > > if (cred->user_ns == child_cred->user_ns && > > cap_issubset(child_cred->cap_permitted, *caller_caps)) > > goto out; > > + if (mode & PTRACE_MODE_SCHED) > > + goto out; > > So for PTRACE_MODE_SCHED, this function always returns 0, right? That can't be right, can it? Determining that we have PTRACE_MODE_SCHED at this point should result in -EPERM. I mucked up on the logic flow.
