H A Dsignal-defs.h82d43437 Fri Oct 29 09:14:19 CDT 2021 Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> signal: Add SA_IMMUTABLE to ensure forced siganls do not get changed

commit 00b06da29cf9dc633cdba87acd3f57f4df3fd5c7 upstream.

As Andy pointed out that there are races between
force_sig_info_to_task and sigaction[1] when force_sig_info_task. As
Kees discovered[2] ptrace is also able to change these signals.

In the case of seeccomp killing a process with a signal it is a
security violation to allow the signal to be caught or manipulated.

Solve this problem by introducing a new flag SA_IMMUTABLE that
prevents sigaction and ptrace from modifying these forced signals.
This flag is carefully made kernel internal so that no new ABI is
introduced.

Longer term I think this can be solved by guaranteeing short circuit
delivery of signals in this case. Unfortunately reliable and
guaranteed short circuit delivery of these signals is still a ways off
from being implemented, tested, and merged. So I have implemented a much
simpler alternative for now.
