      "title": "pidfd: hold exec_update_lock around namespace ioctl",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\npidfd: hold exec_update_lock around namespace ioctl\n\nThe PIDFD_GET_*_NAMESPACE ioctls in pidfd_ioctl() perform a filesystem\ncredentials ptrace access check before handing out a namespace file\ndescriptor.  The accompanying comment states that the code \"mirrors nsfs\nbehavior\", but, unlike the corresponding procfs paths, it does so without\nholding the target task's exec_update_lock.\n\nproc_ns_get_link() and proc_ns_readlink() both take exec_update_lock for\nreading around the ptrace check and the namespace lookup, so that the\ncredentials used for the access decision match those of the task when its\nnamespace is read.  Without it, a caller can pass the check against the\ntarget's old credentials and then read the namespace after the target has\nexecve()'d a setuid binary and committed new credentials -- accessing\nnamespace information it should have been denied.\n\nHold exec_update_lock for reading around the ptrace check and the\nnamespace lookup so that pidfd truly mirrors nsfs behavior, as the comment\nalready claims.  open_namespace() itself runs outside the lock: once a\nnamespace reference is obtained it carries its own refcount and is opened\nwith the caller's own credentials, so a concurrent execve() on the target\ncan no longer affect the outcome.",
