Indeed - I ended up clarifying both wchan explanations, see the changes below.

I also made the 'no symbols' output "0" (instead of an empty string), to better 
match the /proc/PID/stat behavior and previous output.

I'll push it out after a bit more testing and if nothing goes wrong I'll send this 
patch to Linus in the v4.4 merge window.

Thanks,

	Ingo

Subject: [PATCH] fs/proc, core/debug: Don't expose absolute kernel addresses via wchan

So the /proc/PID/stat 'wchan' field (the 30th field) leaks absolute kernel
addresses to unprivileged user-space, of kernel functions that sleep:

        seq_put_decimal_ull(m, ' ', wchan);

The absolute address might also leak via /proc/PID/wchan, if KALLSYMS is
turned off or if the symbol lookup fails for some reason:

static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns,
                          struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task)
{
        unsigned long wchan;
        char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN];

        wchan = get_wchan(task);

        if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) < 0) {
                if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ))
                        return 0;
                seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan);
        } else {
                seq_printf(m, "%s", symname);
        }

        return 0;
}

This isn't ideal, because for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset
to any local attacker:

  fomalhaut:~> printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35)
  ffffffff8123b380

Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic:

  ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm

and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in
/proc/PID/stat:

  triton:~/tip> strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2>&1 | grep wchan | tail -1
  open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY)     = 6

These days there's very little legitimate reason user-space
would be interested in  the absolute address. The absolute
address is mostly historic: from the days when  we didn't have
kallsyms and user-space procps had to do the decoding itself via
the System.map.

So this patch sets all numeric output to "0" and keeps only symbolic
output, in /proc/PID/wchan.

( The absolute sleep address can generally still be profiled via
  perf, by tasks with sufficient privileges. )

/proc/PID/wchan is under #ifdef CONFIG_KALLSYMS.

Maybe we should respect 'kptr_restrict' sysctl when we use '%ps', '%pB' etc.
printk formats (AFAIK %ps just prints address if KALLSYMS=n, or lookup failed).
In that case you could just do 'seq_printf(m, "%ps", wchan)'.


OTOH, %ps, %pS are used mostly in debugging, so investigating some crash
in production kernel with no !KALLSYMS and with kptr_restrict != 0
will be a nightmare.

Yeah, indeed, so I clarified that text to now read:

+ wchan         Present with CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y: it shows the kernel function
+               symbol the task is blocked in - or "0" if not blocked.

So this code does not use %pX, it prints the symbol. Yes, the symbol in itself is 
'information' about the execution of the task in itself - but /proc per se is all 
about providing information about tasks in the system (including to unprivileged 
users), so there's IMHO little point in restricting this output any further ...

I think ktrp_restrict is mostly about not exposing absolute addresses.

There is a problem here, though. %ps will print absolute kernel address instead of symbol name
if KALLSYMS=n or if resolution of address failed.
So I was wondering, may be should just fix %ps ?
i.e. print 0 instead of absolute address if KALLSYMS=n or lookup failure?

Right, and '%ps' may expose absolute address if KALLSYMS=n or address lookup failed for some reason.

There's another problem as well: your change loses the PTRACE_MODE_READ permission 
check.

But ... I think I like it open coded, which is good precisely because it will stay 
invariant even if we change details in the %ps/etc. debug output.

Thanks,

I guess, you should fix your patch than, because it removed this check

Doh, indeed. I didn't notice that bug in testing, because the wchan field of 
/proc/PID/stat was 0/1 according to the ptrace check so 'ps' masked the symbol 
accordingly - but the /proc/PID/wchan value was always accessible.

Updated patch below.

Thanks,

	Ingo

Subject: [PATCH] fs/proc, core/debug: Don't expose absolute kernel addresses via wchan

So the /proc/PID/stat 'wchan' field (the 30th field, which contains
the absolute kernel address of the kernel function a task is blocked in)
leaks absolute kernel addresses to unprivileged user-space:

        seq_put_decimal_ull(m, ' ', wchan);

The absolute address might also leak via /proc/PID/wchan as well, if
KALLSYMS is turned off or if the symbol lookup fails for some reason:

static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns,
                          struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task)
{
        unsigned long wchan;
        char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN];

        wchan = get_wchan(task);

        if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) < 0) {
                if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ))
                        return 0;
                seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan);
        } else {
                seq_printf(m, "%s", symname);
        }

        return 0;
}

This isn't ideal, because for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset
to any local attacker:

  fomalhaut:~> printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35)
  ffffffff8123b380

Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic:

  ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm

and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in /proc/PID/stat:

  triton:~/tip> strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2>&1 | grep wchan | tail -1
  open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY)     = 6

There's one compatibility quirk here: procps relies on whether the
absolute value is non-zero - and we can provide that functionality
by outputing "0" or "1" depending on whether the task is blocked
(whether there's a wchan address).

These days there appears to be very little legitimate reason
user-space would be interested in  the absolute address. The
absolute address is mostly historic: from the days when we
didn't have kallsyms and user-space procps had to do the
decoding itself via the System.map.

So this patch sets all numeric output to "0" or "1" and keeps only
symbolic output, in /proc/PID/wchan.

( The absolute sleep address can generally still be profiled via
  perf, by tasks with sufficient privileges. )

Yeah, so testing uncovered the following additional ABI detail: procps relies on 
the wchan field in /proc/PID/stat, but only as a flag (in most cases), whether to 
look at /proc/PID/wchan.

To keep the ABI, the v4 patch below outputs not the absolute address, but a 0/1 
flag to indicate whether the task is blocked and whether there's anything worth 
looking at in /proc/PID/wchan.

I tested this approach with procps and it seems to fully work. In fact due to the 
ptrace check we properly restrict the information to our own tasks only. root 
still sees the wchan field of all tasks.

Btw., the very latest procps-ng grew this nice change:

  6b8dc5511fb9 ("library: refactor and rely on modern kernels for wchan")

which greatly simplified procps's handling of /proc/PID/wchan.

... but my testing was done with an older procps version.

Thanks,

	Ingo

        seq_put_decimal_ull(m, ' ', wchan);

The absolute address might also leak via /proc/PID/wchan as well, if
KALLSYMS is turned off or if the symbol lookup fails for some reason:

static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns,
                          struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task)
{
        unsigned long wchan;
        char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN];

        wchan = get_wchan(task);

        if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) < 0) {
                if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ))
                        return 0;
                seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan);
        } else {
                seq_printf(m, "%s", symname);
        }

        return 0;
}

This isn't ideal, because for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset
to any local attacker:

  fomalhaut:~> printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35)
  ffffffff8123b380

Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic:

  ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm

and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in /proc/PID/stat:

  triton:~/tip> strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2>&1 | grep wchan | tail -1
  open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY)     = 6

There's one compatibility quirk here: procps relies on whether the
absolute value is non-zero - and we can provide that functionality
by outputing "0" or "1" depending on whether the task is blocked
(whether there's a wchan address).

These days there appears to be very little legitimate reason
user-space would be interested in  the absolute address. The
absolute address is mostly historic: from the days when we
didn't have kallsyms and user-space procps had to do the
decoding itself via the System.map.

So this patch sets all numeric output to "0" or "1" and keeps only
symbolic output, in /proc/PID/wchan.

( The absolute sleep address can generally still be profiled via
  perf, by tasks with sufficient privileges. )

fs/proc, core/debug: Don't expose absolute kernel addresses via wchan

So the /proc/PID/stat 'wchan' field (the 30th field, which contains
the absolute kernel address of the kernel function a task is blocked in)
leaks absolute kernel addresses to unprivileged user-space:

        seq_put_decimal_ull(m, ' ', wchan);

The absolute address might also leak via /proc/PID/wchan as well, if
KALLSYMS is turned off or if the symbol lookup fails for some reason:

static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns,
                          struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task)
{
        unsigned long wchan;
        char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN];

        wchan = get_wchan(task);

        if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) < 0) {
                if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ))
                        return 0;
                seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan);
        } else {
                seq_printf(m, "%s", symname);
        }

        return 0;
}

This isn't ideal, because for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset
to any local attacker:

  fomalhaut:~> printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35)
  ffffffff8123b380

Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic:

  ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm

and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in /proc/PID/stat:

  triton:~/tip> strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2>&1 | grep wchan | tail -1
  open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY)     = 6

There's one compatibility quirk here: procps relies on whether the
absolute value is non-zero - and we can provide that functionality
by outputing "0" or "1" depending on whether the task is blocked
(whether there's a wchan address).

These days there appears to be very little legitimate reason
user-space would be interested in  the absolute address. The

symbolic output, in /proc/PID/wchan.

  perf, by tasks with sufficient privileges. )

The info leak happens in fs/proc, where we happily print arbitrary
"IP" values, if we cant resolve a symbol.

We would have to add a 'store wait channel' mechanism to all functions
which are the primary entry points to scheduling. Not impossible, but
not pretty either.

If we want to prevent the stack changing under us, we'd need to take
p->pi_lock and do the task != RUNNING check and the walk under it. I
don't think we want to do that, unless there is a compelling reason to
do so.

Thanks,

	tglx
