Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
landlock: Fix LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL bypass on the SIGIO path
LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL must prevent a sandboxed process from signaling
processes outside its Landlock domain. It can be bypassed through the
asynchronous SIGIO delivery path.
A sandboxed process that owns any file or socket can arm it with
fcntl(fd, F_SETOWN, -pgid), fcntl(fd, F_SETSIG, SIGKILL) and O_ASYNC, so
that an I/O event makes the kernel deliver the chosen signal to the
whole process group. As the head of its process group's task list (the
default position right after fork()) that group can also hold the
non-sandboxed process that launched it, e.g. a supervisor or a security
monitor. The sandbox can thus kill or signal the processes
LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL is meant to protect from it.
The scope is enforced in hook_file_send_sigiotask() against the Landlock
domain recorded at F_SETOWN time, not the live domain of the sender.
