- netfilter: nf_conncount: don't skip eviction when age is negative
* CVE-2019-6133
- fork: record start_time late
* test_095_kernel_symbols_missing_proc_self_stack failed on P-LTS
(LP: #1813001)

Title:
test_095_kernel_symbols_missing_proc_self_stack failed on P-LTS

Status in linux source package in Trusty:

Bug description:
[Impact]
The testcase test_095_kernel_symbols_missing_proc_self_stack from
ubuntu_qrt_kernel_security testsuite started to fail with Trusty
kernel (3.13) after the fix for CVE-2018-17972 ("proc: restrict kernel
stack dumps to root"), which prevents a regular user to read from
/proc/self/stack.
Kernel: 3.13.0-165.215~precise1
The test failed with:
AssertionError: cat: /proc/self/stack: Permission denied
FAIL: test_095_kernel_symbols_missing_proc_self_stack
(__main__.KernelSecurityTest)
kernel addresses in /proc/self/stack are zeroed out

File "./test-kernel-security.py", line 1146, in _read_twice
self.assertEqual(rc, 0, regular)
AssertionError: cat: /proc/self/stack: Permission denied
The testcase checks the file permission before trying to read it, and
for kernel 3.13 the permissions became inconsistent with what the user
can actually do:
$ cat /proc/self/stack
cat: /proc/self/stack: Permission denied
$ ls -l /proc/self/stack
-r--r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Jan 24 04:06 /proc/self/stack
[Test Case]
Run 'cat' and 'ls' on the file as stated above, or run the
ubuntu_qrt_kernel_security testsuite and check for the results of the
test_095_kernel_symbols_missing_proc_self_stack testcase.
[Fix]
Upstream commit 35a35046e4f9 ("procfs: make
/proc/*/{stack,syscall,personality} 0400") applied for v3.15-rc1 fixes the
issue.
[Regression Potential]
The upstream fix changes the permissions of the files
/proc/*/{stack,syscall,personality}, so userspace which relies on reading these
files as regular users might fail. However, this fixes a security issue and is
already applied on our later series.
