Vigil@nce - Linux kernel: read-write access via MNT_DETACH

August 2015 by Vigil@nce

This bulletin was written by Vigil@nce : http://vigilance.fr/offer

SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY

A local attacker can bypass access restrictions via MNT_DETACH on
the Linux kernel, in order to read or alter files, bypassing a
User Namespace.

Impacted products: Linux

Severity: 2/4

Creation date: 04/06/2015

DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY

The User Namespace (CONFIG_USER_NS) feature provides jailed
environments.

When the user calls umount(MNT_DETACH), the __detach_mounts()
function of the fs/namespace.c file calls umount_tree() which does
not always disconnect the mount point on the file system.

A local attacker can therefore bypass access restrictions via
MNT_DETACH on the Linux kernel, in order to read or alter files,
bypassing a User Namespace.
