procfs: block chmod on /proc/thread-self/comm
Due to an oversight in commit 1b3044e ("procfs: fix pthread cross-thread naming if !PR_DUMPABLE") in switching from REG to NOD, chmod operations on /proc/thread-self/comm were no longer blocked as they are on almost all other procfs files. A very similar situation with /proc/self/environ was used to as a root exploit a long time ago, but procfs has SB_I_NOEXEC so this is simply a correctness issue. Ref: https://lwn.net/Articles/191954/ Ref: 6d76fa5 ("Don't allow chmod() on the /proc/<pid>/ files") Fixes: 1b3044e ("procfs: fix pthread cross-thread naming if !PR_DUMPABLE") Cc: [email protected] # v4.7+ Signed-off-by: Aleksa Sarai <[email protected]> Message-Id: <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <[email protected]>
