proc: make proc_fd_permission() thread-friendly
proc_fd_permission() says "process can still access /proc/self/fd after it
has executed a setuid()", but the "task_pid() = proc_pid() check only
helps if the task is group leader, /proc/self points to
/proc/<leader-pid>.
Change this check to use task_tgid() so that the whole thread group can
access its /proc/self/fd or /proc/<tid-of-sub-thread>/fd.
Notes:
- CLONE_THREAD does not require CLONE_FILES so task->files
can differ, but I don't think this can lead to any security
problem. And this matches same_thread_group() in
__ptrace_may_access().
- /proc/self should probably point to /proc/<thread-tid>, but
it is too late to change the rules. Perhaps it makes sense
to add /proc/thread though.
Test-case:
void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
assert(opendir("/proc/self/fd"));
return NULL;
}
int main(void)
{
pthread_t t;
pthread_create(&t, NULL, tfunc, NULL);
pthread_join(t, NULL);
return 0;
}
fails if, say, this executable is not readable and suid_dumpable = 0.
