rds: filter RDS_INFO_* getsockopt by caller's netns
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rds: filter RDS_INFO_* getsockopt by caller's netns
The RDS_INFO_* family of getsockopt(2) options reads several
file-scope global lists that are not per-netns:
rds_sock_info / rds6_sock_info,
rds_sock_inc_info / rds6_sock_inc_info -> rds_sock_list
rds_tcp_tc_info / rds6_tcp_tc_info -> rds_tcp_tc_list
rds_conn_info / rds6_conn_info,
rds_conn_message_info_cmn (for the *_SEND_MESSAGES and
*_RETRANS_MESSAGES variants),
rds_for_each_conn_info (for RDS_INFO_IB_CONNECTIONS)
-> rds_conn_hash[]
The handlers do not filter by the caller's network namespace.
rds_info_getsockopt() has no netns or capable() check, and
rds_create() has no capable() check, so AF_RDS is reachable from
an unprivileged user namespace. As a result, an unprivileged
caller in a fresh user_ns plus netns can read the bound address
and sock inode of every RDS socket on the host, the peer address
of incoming messages on every RDS socket on the host, the peer
address and TCP sequence numbers of every rds-tcp connection on
the host, and the peer address and RDS sequence numbers of every
RDS connection on the host.
The rds-tcp transport is reachable from a non-initial netns (see
rds_set_transport()), so a one-shot init_net gate at
rds_info_getsockopt() would deny legitimate per-netns visibility
to rds-tcp callers. Instead, filter at each handler by comparing
the netns of the caller's socket to the netns of the list entry,
or to rds_conn_net(conn) for connection paths. Only copy entries
whose netns matches the caller. Counters (RDS_INFO_COUNTERS) are
aggregate statistics and remain global.
Reproducer (KASAN VM, rds and rds_tcp loaded): an AF_RDS socket
binds 127.0.0.1:4242 in init_net as root. A child process enters
a fresh user_ns plus netns and opens AF_RDS there, then calls
getsockopt(SOL_RDS, RDS_INFO_SOCKETS). Before this change, the
child sees the init_net socket. After this change, the child
sees zero entries.
Drop the rds_sock_count, rds_tcp_tc_count, and rds6_tcp_tc_count
globals. v2 used them for the size precheck and lens->nr; v3
replaced the precheck with a per-ns count from a first pass over
the list, so the globals have no remaining readers. The matching
increments and decrements in rds_create()/rds_destroy_sock() and
rds_tcp_set_callbacks()/rds_tcp_restore_callbacks() go away with
them. Reported by the kernel test robot under clang W=1.
