+Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2019-5736 (runC): rexec callers as memfd
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Adam Iwaniuk and Borys Popławski discovered that an attacker can compromise
the
+runC host binary from inside a privileged runC container. As a result, this
+could be exploited to gain root access on the host. runC is used as the
default
+runtime for containers with Docker, containerd, Podman, and CRI-O.
+
+The attack can be made when attaching to a running container or when
starting a
+container running a specially crafted image. For example, when runC attaches
+to a container the attacker can trick it into executing itself. This could be
+done by replacing the target binary inside the container with a custom binary
+pointing back at the runC binary itself. As an example, if the target binary
+was /bin/bash, this could be replaced with an executable script specifying
the
+interpreter path #!/proc/self/exe (/proc/self/exec is a symbolic link created
+by the kernel for every process which points to the binary that was executed
+for that process). As such when /bin/bash is executed inside the container,
+instead the target of /proc/self/exe will be executed - which will point to
the
+runc binary on the host. The attacker can then proceed to write to the target
+of /proc/self/exe to try and overwrite the runC binary on the host. However
in
+general, this will not succeed as the kernel will not permit it to be
+overwritten whilst runC is executing. To overcome this, the attacker can
+instead open a file descriptor to /proc/self/exe using the O_PATH flag and
then
+proceed to reopen the binary as O_WRONLY through /proc/self/fd/<nr> and try
to
+write to it in a busy loop from a separate process. Ultimately it will
succeed
+when the runC binary exits. After this the runC binary is compromised and can
+be used to attack other containers or the host itself.
+
+This attack is only possible with privileged containers since it requires
root
+privilege on the host to overwrite the runC binary. Unprivileged containers
+with a non-identity ID mapping do not have the permission to write to the
host
+binary and therefore are unaffected by this attack.
+
+LXC is also impacted in a similar manner by this vulnerability, however as
the
+LXC project considers privileged containers to be unsafe no CVE has been
+assigned for this issue for LXC. Quoting from the
+https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/security/ project's Security information
page:
+
+"As privileged containers are considered unsafe, we typically will not
consider
+new container escape exploits to be security issues worthy of a CVE and quick
+fix. We will however try to mitigate those issues so that accidental damage
to
+the host is prevented."
+
+To prevent this attack, LXC has been patched to create a temporary copy of
the
+calling binary itself when it starts or attaches to containers. To do this
LXC
+creates an anonymous, in-memory file using the memfd_create() system call and
+copies itself into the temporary in-memory file, which is then sealed to
+prevent further modifications. LXC then executes this sealed, in-memory file
+instead of the original on-disk binary. Any compromising write operations
from
+a privileged container to the host LXC binary will then write to the
temporary
+in-memory binary and not to the host binary on-disk, preserving the integrity
+of the host LXC binary. Also as the temporary, in-memory LXC binary is
sealed,
+writes to this will also fail.
+
+Note: memfd_create() was added to the Linux kernel in the 3.17 release.
