commit c8bcd9c5be24fb9e6132e97da5a35e55a83e36b9 upstream.
Currently, locking of ->session is very inconsistent; most places protect it using the legacy tty mutex, but disassociate_ctty(), __do_SAK(), tiocspgrp() and tiocgsid() don't. Two of the writers hold the ctrl_lock (because they already need it for ->pgrp), but __proc_set_tty() doesn't do that yet.
On a PREEMPT=y system, an unprivileged user can theoretically abuse this broken locking to read 4 bytes of freed memory via TIOCGSID if tiocgsid() is preempted long enough at the right point. (Other things might also go wrong, especially if root-only ioctls are involved; I'm not sure about that.)
Change the locking on ->session such that:
- tty_lock() is held by all writers: By making disassociate_ctty() hold it. This should be fine because the same lock can already be taken through the call to tty_vhangup_session(). The tricky part is that we need to shorten the area covered by siglock to be able to take tty_lock() without ugly retry logic; as far as I can tell, this should be fine, since nothing in the signal_struct is touched in the `if (tty)` branch. - ctrl_lock is held by all writers: By changing __proc_set_tty() to hold the lock a little longer. - All readers that aren't holding tty_lock() hold ctrl_lock: By adding locking to tiocgsid() and __do_SAK(), and expanding the area covered by ctrl_lock in tiocspgrp().
