| |
This test-case (simplified version of generated by syzkaller)
#include <unistd.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <sys/wait.h>
void test(void) { for (;;) { if (fork()) { wait(NULL); continue; }
ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, getppid(), 0, 0); ptrace(PTRACE_INTERRUPT, getppid(), 0, 0); _exit(0); } }
int main(void) { int np;
for (np = 0; np < 8; ++np) if (!fork()) test();
while (wait(NULL) > 0) ; return 0; }
triggers the 2nd WARN_ON_ONCE(!signr) warning in do_jobctl_trap(). The problem is that __ptrace_unlink() clears task->jobctl under siglock but task->ptrace is cleared without this lock held; this fools the "else" branch which assumes that !PT_SEIZED means PT_PTRACED.
Note also that most of other PTRACE_SEIZE checks can race with detach from the exiting tracer too. Say, the callers of ptrace_trap_notify() assume that SEIZED can't go away after it was checked.
