Subject: [PATCH v2] seccomp: restore knotif->state when SECCOMP_ADDFD_FLAG_SEND is interrupted
Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 04:16:29 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260920041629.2453290-1-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <202609192050.D1E0CD96@keescook>
In seccomp_notify_addfd(), when SECCOMP_ADDFD_FLAG_SEND is set,
knotif->state is transitioned from SECCOMP_NOTIFY_SENT to
SECCOMP_NOTIFY_REPLIED before dropping filter->notify_lock and waiting
in wait_for_completion_interruptible(&kaddfd.completion).
If wait_for_completion_interruptible() is interrupted by a signal before
the target task processes the kaddfd entry, seccomp_notify_addfd()
removes kaddfd.list from knotif->addfd via list_del(&kaddfd.list), but
leaves knotif->state set to SECCOMP_NOTIFY_REPLIED.
As a consequence:
1. When the target task wakes in seccomp_do_user_notification(), it
observes knotif->state == SECCOMP_NOTIFY_REPLIED with an empty addfd
list and zeroed knotif->val / knotif->error / knotif->flags, causing
the supervised syscall to prematurely complete with return value 0
without installing the file descriptor.
2. Any subsequent retry of SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SEND or
SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD by the supervisor fails with -EINPROGRESS
(or -ENOENT after the target exits) because knotif->state is no
longer SECCOMP_NOTIFY_SENT.
Restore knotif->state = SECCOMP_NOTIFY_SENT when removing an unhandled
SECCOMP_ADDFD_FLAG_SEND request from knotif->addfd, and add a
kselftest (user_notification_addfd_send_interrupted) to cover this race.
