[solved]rwx mprotect problem

[franz]

Hi,

login problem due to mprotect:

grsec: denied RWX mprotect of /lib/ld-2.13.so by /bin/login[login:20260] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0, parent /sbin/init[init:1] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0

Feb 9 10:19:04 spunk kernel: grsec: Segmentation fault occurred at 00006f53131e7d90 in /bin/login[login:20260] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0, parent /sbin/init[init:1] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0
Feb 9 10:19:04 spunk kernel: grsec: more alerts, logging disabled for 10 seconds



Running archlinux and my own build of grsec (grsecurity-2.2.1-2.6.36.2-201012192125.patch).
Not able to logon to any tty if grsec-kernel is enabled (no grsec/pax upgrade).

I am not sure if disabling mprotect on the lib is the solution but maybe you can tell?

Info about glibc:
/lib/ld-2.13.so owned by glibc 2.13-1

I did check the other threads about same issue "http://forums.grsecurity.net/search.php?sid=e5424478a93a2dd2cf1e6518cef7cf28"

Any other information needed to solve this?

Regards,
franz

This appears to be due to a known glibc bug in combination with PT_GNU_STACK userland breakage, see the description from the PaX Team here:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=611195

run ldd/lddtree on /bin/login (or view dependencies from /proc/`pidof login`/maps) and make sure PT_GNU_STACK is turned off on each dependency, using execstack -c.

And remember that every time these problems occur, a normal Linux system would have silently degraded into allowing exploitation

Ohh no, more work

It seems that I need to reboot into a non grsec kernel to fix this little issue

that's not the execstack spender meant, try the one from prelink .

Problem not solved by using execstack -c on lib's used by /bin/login (the tool from prelink)

what's the error now?

[franz]

Hi,
I will test on another pc that I have to see if same error occur.

Anyway here is the error:

Problem is not the same on the other pc but, patchlevel is not exacly the same but I don't think it matters anyway.
On working pc kernelpatch has this timestamp 201101272240.

I did manage to logon to the problem pc remote using ssh so I am logged on right now when typing this.

It's still not possible to logon to consol.

Same error as before:

can you strace such a login process? the last opened .so in the log will be your problem, my bet is that it's probably PAM related, so you can also proactively check them for the same GNU_STACK breakage.

[franz]

Hi,
strace and the help from you did solve this little issue!

Did "strace -s 1000 -vfo out.txt login franz" and at the end of the output it gave me this:

So I reinstalled consolekit and problem is now gone.
Not sure why this had happen but it's probably my own fault..

Nice to have ssh open to your pc sometimes

Thanks for pointing me into right direction!

Make sure you report the library to your distro so that nobody else has to put up with the same problem.
