commit f0fe2c0f05 upstream.
This is a necessary follow up to the first fix I proposed and we merged
in 2669b8b0c7 ("binder: prevent UAF for binderfs devices"). I have been
overly optimistic that the simple fix I proposed would work. But alas,
ihold() + iput() won't work since the inodes won't survive the
destruction of the superblock.
So all we get with my prior fix is a different race with a tinier
race-window but it doesn't solve the issue. Fwiw, the problem lies with
generic_shutdown_super(). It even has this cozy Al-style comment:
if (!list_empty(&sb->s_inodes)) {
printk("VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of %s. "
"Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day...\n",
sb->s_id);
}
On binder_release(), binder_defer_work(proc, BINDER_DEFERRED_RELEASE) is
called which punts the actual cleanup operation to a workqueue. At some
point, binder_deferred_func() will be called which will end up calling
binder_deferred_release() which will retrieve and cleanup the
binder_context attach to this struct binder_proc.
If we trace back where this binder_context is attached to binder_proc we
see that it is set in binder_open() and is taken from the struct
binder_device it is associated with. This obviously assumes that the
struct binder_device that context is attached to is _never_ freed. While
that might be true for devtmpfs binder devices it is most certainly
wrong for binderfs binder devices.
So, assume binder_open() is called on a binderfs binder devices. We now
stash away the struct binder_context associated with that struct
binder_devices:
proc->context = &binder_dev->context;
/* binderfs stashes devices in i_private */
if (is_binderfs_device(nodp)) {
binder_dev = nodp->i_private;
info = nodp->i_sb->s_fs_info;
binder_binderfs_dir_entry_proc = info->proc_log_dir;
} else {
.
.
.
proc->context = &binder_dev->context;
Now let's assume that the binderfs instance for that binder devices is
shutdown via umount() and/or the mount namespace associated with it goes
away. As long as there is still an fd open for that binderfs binder
device things are fine. But let's assume we now close the last fd for
that binderfs binder device. Now binder_release() is called and punts to
the workqueue. Assume that the workqueue has quite a bit of stuff to do
and doesn't get to cleaning up the struct binder_proc and the associated
struct binder_context with it for that binderfs binder device right
away. In the meantime, the VFS is killing the super block and is
ultimately calling sb->evict_inode() which means it will call
binderfs_evict_inode() which does:
static void binderfs_evict_inode(struct inode *inode)
{
struct binder_device *device = inode->i_private;
struct binderfs_info *info = BINDERFS_I(inode);
clear_inode(inode);
if (!S_ISCHR(inode->i_mode) || !device)
return;
mutex_lock(&binderfs_minors_mutex);
--info->device_count;
ida_free(&binderfs_minors, device->miscdev.minor);
mutex_unlock(&binderfs_minors_mutex);
kfree(device->context.name);
kfree(device);
}
thereby freeing the struct binder_device including struct
binder_context.
Now the workqueue finally has time to get around to cleaning up struct
binder_proc and is now trying to access the associate struct
binder_context. Since it's already freed it will OOPs.
Fix this by introducing a refounct on binder devices.
This is an alternative fix to 51d8a7eca6 ("binder: prevent UAF read in
print_binder_transaction_log_entry()").

binder_context.
Now the workqueue finally has time to get around to cleaning up struct
binder_proc and is now trying to access the associate struct

Fix this by holding an additional reference to the inode that is only
released once the workqueue is done cleaning up struct binder_proc. This
is an easy alternative to introducing separate refcounting on struct
binder_device which we can always do later if it becomes necessary.

When a binder transaction is initiated on a binder device coming from a
binderfs instance, a pointer to the name of the binder device is stashed
in the binder_transaction_log_entry's context_name member. Later on it
is used to print the name in print_binder_transaction_log_entry(). By
the time print_binder_transaction_log_entry() accesses context_name
binderfs_evict_inode() might have already freed the associated memory
thereby causing a UAF. Do the simple thing and prevent this by copying
the name of the binder device instead of stashing a pointer to it.

Currently, since each binderfs instance needs its own
private binder devices, every time a binderfs instance is
mounted, all the default binder devices need to be created
via the BINDER_CTL_ADD IOCTL. This patch aims to
add a solution to automatically create the default binder
devices for each binderfs instance that gets mounted.
To achieve this goal, when CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDERFS is set,
the default binder devices specified by CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES
are created in each binderfs instance instead of global devices
being created by the binder driver.

binderfs should not have a separate device_initcall(). When a kernel is
compiled with CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDERFS register the filesystem alongside
CONFIG_ANDROID_IPC. This use-case is especially sensible when users specify
CONFIG_ANDROID_IPC=y, CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDERFS=y and
ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES="".
When CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDERFS=n then this always succeeds so there's no
regression potential for legacy workloads.

As discussed at Linux Plumbers Conference 2018 in Vancouver [1] this is the
implementation of binderfs.
/* Abstract */
binderfs is a backwards-compatible filesystem for Android's binder ipc
mechanism. Each ipc namespace will mount a new binderfs instance. Mounting
binderfs multiple times at different locations in the same ipc namespace
will not cause a new super block to be allocated and hence it will be the
same filesystem instance.
Each new binderfs mount will have its own set of binder devices only
visible in the ipc namespace it has been mounted in. All devices in a new
binderfs mount will follow the scheme binder%d and numbering will always
start at 0.
/* Backwards compatibility */
Devices requested in the Kconfig via CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES for the
initial ipc namespace will work as before. They will be registered via
misc_register() and appear in the devtmpfs mount. Specifically, the
standard devices binder, hwbinder, and vndbinder will all appear in their
standard locations in /dev. Mounting or unmounting the binderfs mount in
the initial ipc namespace will have no effect on these devices, i.e. they
will neither show up in the binderfs mount nor will they disappear when the
binderfs mount is gone.
/* binder-control */
Each new binderfs instance comes with a binder-control device. No other
devices will be present at first. The binder-control device can be used to
dynamically allocate binder devices. All requests operate on the binderfs
mount the binder-control device resides in.
Assuming a new instance of binderfs has been mounted at /dev/binderfs
via mount -t binderfs binderfs /dev/binderfs. Then a request to create a
new binder device can be made as illustrated in [2].
Binderfs devices can simply be removed via unlink().
/* Implementation details */
- dynamic major number allocation:
When binderfs is registered as a new filesystem it will dynamically
allocate a new major number. The allocated major number will be returned
in struct binderfs_device when a new binder device is allocated.
- global minor number tracking:
Minor are tracked in a global idr struct that is capped at
BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR. The minor number tracker is protected by a global
mutex. This is the only point of contention between binderfs mounts.
- struct binderfs_info:
Each binderfs super block has its own struct binderfs_info that tracks
specific details about a binderfs instance:
- ipc namespace
- dentry of the binder-control device
- root uid and root gid of the user namespace the binderfs instance
was mounted in
- mountable by user namespace root:
binderfs can be mounted by user namespace root in a non-initial user
namespace. The devices will be owned by user namespace root.
- binderfs binder devices without misc infrastructure:
New binder devices associated with a binderfs mount do not use the
full misc_register() infrastructure.
The misc_register() infrastructure can only create new devices in the
host's devtmpfs mount. binderfs does however only make devices appear
under its own mountpoint and thus allocates new character device nodes
from the inode of the root dentry of the super block. This will have
the side-effect that binderfs specific device nodes do not appear in
sysfs. This behavior is similar to devpts allocated pts devices and
has no effect on the functionality of the ipc mechanism itself.
