For a correct management of a fork brute force attack it is necessary that all the tasks hold statistical data. The same statistical data needs to be shared between all the tasks that hold the same memory contents or in other words, between all the tasks that have been forked without any execve call. So, define a statistical data structure to hold all the necessary information shared by all the fork hierarchy processes. This info is basically the number of crashes, the last crash timestamp and the crash period's moving average. When a forked task calls the execve system call, the memory contents are set with new values. So, in this scenario the parent's statistical data no need to be shared. Instead, a new statistical data structure must be allocated to start a new hierarchy. The statistical data that is shared between all the fork hierarchy processes needs to be freed when this hierarchy disappears. So, based in all the previous information define a LSM with three hooks to manage all the commented cases. These hooks are "task_alloc" to do the fork management, "bprm_committing_creds" to do the execve management and "task_free" to release the resources. Also, add to the task_struct's security blob the pointer to the statistical data. This way, all the tasks will have access to this information.

To do so, use the new "task_fatal_signal" LSM hook added in a previous step. The application crash period must be a value that is not prone to change due to spurious data and follows the real crash period. So, to compute it, the exponential moving average (EMA) is used. There are two types of brute force attacks that need to be detected. The first one is an attack that happens through the fork system call and the second one is an attack that happens through the execve system call. The first type uses the statistics shared by all the fork hierarchy processes, but the second type cannot use this statistical data due to these statistics disappear when the involved tasks finished. In this last scenario the attack info should be tracked by the statistics of a higher fork hierarchy (the hierarchy that contains the process that forks before the execve system call). Moreover, these two attack types have two variants. A slow brute force attack that is detected if the maximum number of faults per fork hierarchy is reached and a fast brute force attack that is detected if the application crash period falls below a certain threshold. Also, this patch adds locking to protect the statistics pointer hold by every process.

Only the following scenarios are taken into account: 1.- Launching (fork()/exec()) a setuid/setgid process repeatedly until a desirable memory layout is got (e.g. Stack Clash). 2.- Connecting to an exec()ing network daemon (e.g. xinetd) repeatedly until a desirable memory layout is got (e.g. what CTFs do for simple network service). 3.- Launching processes without exec() (e.g. Android Zygote) and exposing state to attack a sibling. 4.- Connecting to a fork()ing network daemon (e.g. apache) repeatedly until the previously shared memory layout of all the other children is exposed (e.g. kind of related to HeartBleed). In each case, a privilege boundary has been crossed: Case 1: setuid/setgid process Case 2: network to local Case 3: privilege changes Case 4: network to local So, this patch checks if any of these privilege boundaries have been crossed before to compute the application crash period. Also, in every fatal crash only the signals delivered by the kernel are taken into account with the exception of the SIGABRT signal since the latter is used by glibc for stack canary, malloc, etc failures, which may indicate that a mitigation has been triggered.

In other words, it is necessary to kill all the tasks that share the fork and/or exec statistical data related to the attack. Moreover, if the attack happens through the fork system call, the processes that have the same group_leader that the current task (the task that has crashed) must be avoided since they are in the path to be killed. When the SIGKILL signal is sent to the offending tasks, the function "brute_kill_offending_tasks" will be called in a recursive way from the task_fatal_signal LSM hook due to a small crash period. So, to avoid kill again the same tasks due to a recursive call of this function, it is necessary to disable the attack detection for the involved hierarchies. To disable the attack detection, set to zero the last crash timestamp and avoid to compute the application crash period in this case.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 +=========================================================== +Brute: Fork brute force attack detection and mitigation LSM +=========================================================== + +Attacks against vulnerable userspace applications with the purpose to break ASLR +or bypass canaries traditionally use some level of brute force with the help of +the fork system call. This is possible since when creating a new process using +fork its memory contents are the same as those of the parent process (the +process that called the fork system call). So, the attacker can test the memory +infinite times to find the correct memory values or the correct memory addresses +without worrying about crashing the application. + +Based on the above scenario it would be nice to have this detected and +mitigated, and this is the goal of this implementation. Specifically the +following attacks are expected to be detected: + +1.- Launching (fork()/exec()) a setuid/setgid process repeatedly until a + desirable memory layout is got (e.g. Stack Clash). +2.- Connecting to an exec()ing network daemon (e.g. xinetd) repeatedly until a + desirable memory layout is got (e.g. what CTFs do for simple network + service). +3.- Launching processes without exec() (e.g. Android Zygote) and exposing state + to attack a sibling. +4.- Connecting to a fork()ing network daemon (e.g. apache) repeatedly until the + previously shared memory layout of all the other children is exposed (e.g. + kind of related to HeartBleed). + +In each case, a privilege boundary has been crossed: + +Case 1: setuid/setgid process +Case 2: network to local +Case 3: privilege changes +Case 4: network to local + +So, what really needs to be detected are fork/exec brute force attacks that +cross any of the commented bounds. + + +Other implementations +===================== + +The public version of grsecurity, as a summary, is based on the idea of delaying +the fork system call if a child died due to some fatal signal (SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, +SIGKILL or SIGILL). This has some issues: + +Bad practices +------------- + +Adding delays to the kernel is, in general, a bad idea. + +Scenarios not detected (false negatives) +---------------------------------------- + +This protection acts only when the fork system call is called after a child has +crashed. So, it would still be possible for an attacker to fork a big amount of +children (in the order of thousands), then probe all of them, and finally wait +the protection time before repeating the steps. + +Moreover, this method is based on the idea that the protection doesn't act if +the parent crashes. So, it would still be possible for an attacker to fork a +process and probe itself. Then, fork the child process and probe itself again. +This way, these steps can be repeated infinite times without any mitigation. + +Scenarios detected (false positives) +------------------------------------ + +Scenarios where an application rarely fails for reasons unrelated to a real +attack. + + +This implementation +=================== + +The main idea behind this implementation is to improve the existing ones +focusing on the weak points annotated before. Basically, the adopted solution is +to detect a fast crash rate instead of only one simple crash and to detect both +the crash of parent and child processes. Also, fine tune the detection focusing +on privilege boundary crossing. And finally, as a mitigation method, kill all +the offending tasks involved in the attack instead of using delays. + +To achieve this goal, and going into more details, this implementation is based +on the use of some statistical data shared across all the processes that can +have the same memory contents. Or in other words, a statistical data shared +between all the fork hierarchy processes after an execve system call. + +The purpose of these statistics is, basically, collect all the necessary info +to compute the application crash period in order to detect an attack. This crash +period is the time between the execve system call and the first fault or the +time between two consecutive faults, but this has a drawback. If an application +crashes twice in a short period of time for some reason unrelated to a real +attack, a false positive will be triggered. To avoid this scenario the +exponential moving average (EMA) is used. This way, the application crash period +will be a value that is not prone to change due to spurious data and follows the +real crash period. + +To detect a brute force attack it is necessary that the statistics shared by all +the fork hierarchy processes be updated in every fatal crash and the most +important data to update is the application crash period. + +There are two types of brute force attacks that need to be detected. The first +one is an attack that happens through the fork system call and the second one is +an attack that happens through the execve system call. The first type uses the +statistics shared by all the fork hierarchy processes, but the second type +cannot use this statistical data due to these statistics dissapear when the +involved tasks finished. In this last scenario the attack info should be tracked +by the statistics of a higher fork hierarchy (the hierarchy that contains the +process that forks before the execve system call). + +Moreover, these two attack types have two variants. A slow brute force attack +that is detected if a maximum number of faults per fork hierarchy is reached and +a fast brute force attack that is detected if the application crash period falls +below a certain threshold. + +Exponential moving average (EMA) +-------------------------------- + +This kind of average defines a weight (between 0 and 1) for the new value to add +and applies the remainder of the weight to the current average value. This way, +some spurious data will not excessively modify the average and only if the new +values are persistent, the moving average will tend towards them. + +Mathematically the application crash period's EMA can be expressed as follows: + +period_ema = period * weight + period_ema * (1 - weight) + +Related to the attack detection, the EMA must guarantee that not many crashes +are needed. To demonstrate this, the scenario where an application has been +running without any crashes for a month will be used. + +The period's EMA can be written now as: + +period_ema[i] = period[i] * weight + period_ema[i - 1] * (1 - weight) + +If the new crash periods have insignificant values related to the first crash +period (a month in this case), the formula can be rewritten as: + +period_ema[i] = period_ema[i - 1] * (1 - weight) + +And by extension: + +period_ema[i - 1] = period_ema[i - 2] * (1 - weight) +period_ema[i - 2] = period_ema[i - 3] * (1 - weight) +period_ema[i - 3] = period_ema[i - 4] * (1 - weight) + +So, if the substitution is made: + +period_ema[i] = period_ema[i - 1] * (1 - weight) +period_ema[i] = period_ema[i - 2] * pow((1 - weight) , 2) +period_ema[i] = period_ema[i - 3] * pow((1 - weight) , 3) +period_ema[i] = period_ema[i - 4] * pow((1 - weight) , 4) + +And in a more generic form: + +period_ema[i] = period_ema[i - n] * pow((1 - weight) , n) + +Where n represents the number of iterations to obtain an EMA value. Or in other +words, the number of crashes to detect an attack. + +So, if we isolate the number of crashes: + +period_ema[i] / period_ema[i - n] = pow((1 - weight), n) +log(period_ema[i] / period_ema[i - n]) = log(pow((1 - weight), n)) +log(period_ema[i] / period_ema[i - n]) = n * log(1 - weight) +n = log(period_ema[i] / period_ema[i - n]) / log(1 - weight) + +Then, in the commented scenario (an application has been running without any +crashes for a month), the approximate number of crashes to detect an attack +(using the implementation values for the weight and the crash period threshold) +is: + +weight = 7 / 10 +crash_period_threshold = 30 seconds + +n = log(crash_period_threshold / seconds_per_month) / log(1 - weight) +n = log(30 / (30 * 24 * 3600)) / log(1 - 0.7) +n = 9.44 + +So, with 10 crashes for this scenario an attack will be detected. If these steps +are repeated for different scenarios and the results are collected: + +1 month without any crashes ----> 9.44 crashes to detect an attack +1 year without any crashes -----> 11.50 crashes to detect an attack +10 years without any crashes ---> 13.42 crashes to detect an attack + +However, this computation has a drawback. The first data added to the EMA not +obtains a real average showing a trend. So the solution is simple, the EMA needs +a minimum number of data to be able to be interpreted. This way, the case where +a few first faults are fast enough followed by no crashes is avoided. + +Per system enabling/disabling +----------------------------- + +This feature can be enabled at build time using the CONFIG_SECURITY_FORK_BRUTE +option or using the visual config application under the following menu: + +Security options ---> Fork brute force attack detection and mitigation + +Also, at boot time, this feature can be disable too, by changing the "lsm=" boot +parameter. + +Kernel selftests +---------------- + +To validate all the expectations about this implementation, there is a set of +selftests.
