+Subject: binder: Prevent context manager from incrementing ref 0
+
+From: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>
+
+commit 4b836a1426cb0f1ef2a6e211d7e553221594f8fc upstream.
+
+Binder is designed such that a binder_proc never has references to
+itself. If this rule is violated, memory corruption can occur when a
+process sends a transaction to itself; see e.g.
+<https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=09e05aba06723a94d43d>.
+
+There is a remaining edgecase through which such a transaction-to-self
+can still occur from the context of a task with BINDER_SET_CONTEXT_MGR
+access:
+
+ - task A opens /dev/binder twice, creating binder_proc instances P1
+ and P2
+ - P1 becomes context manager
+ - P2 calls ACQUIRE on the magic handle 0, allocating index 0 in its
+ handle table
+ - P1 dies (by closing the /dev/binder fd and waiting a bit)
+ - P2 becomes context manager
+ - P2 calls ACQUIRE on the magic handle 0, allocating index 1 in its
+ handle table
+ [this triggers a warning: "binder: 1974:1974 tried to acquire
+ reference to desc 0, got 1 instead"]
+ - task B opens /dev/binder once, creating binder_proc instance P3
+ - P3 calls P2 (via magic handle 0) with (void*)1 as argument (two-way
+ transaction)
+ - P2 receives the handle and uses it to call P3 (two-way transaction)
+ - P3 calls P2 (via magic handle 0) (two-way transaction)
+ - P2 calls P2 (via handle 1) (two-way transaction)
+
+And then, if P2 does *NOT* accept the incoming transaction work, but
+instead closes the binder fd, we get a crash.
+
+Solve it by preventing the context manager from using ACQUIRE on ref 0.
+There shouldn't be any legitimate reason for the context manager to do
+that.
+
+Additionally, print a warning if someone manages to find another way to
+trigger a transaction-to-self bug in the future.
