+Subject: [PATCH] backend: Compare PolkitUnixProcess uids for temporary
+ authorizations
+
+It turns out that the combination of `(pid, start time)` is not
+enough to be unique.  For temporary authorizations, we can avoid
+separate users racing on pid reuse by simply comparing the uid.

++  Subject: [SECURITY] polkit: temporary auth hijacking via PID reuse and non-atomic fork
++  Date: Wednesday, October 10, 2018 5:34 PM
++
++When a (non-root) user attempts to e.g. control systemd units in the system
++instance from an active session over DBus, the access is gated by a polkit
++policy that requires "auth_admin_keep" auth. This results in an auth prompt
++being shown to the user, asking the user to confirm the action by entering the
++password of an administrator account.
++
++After the action has been confirmed, the auth decision for "auth_admin_keep" is
++cached for up to five minutes. Subject to some restrictions, similar actions can
++then be performed in this timespan without requiring re-auth:
++
++ - The PID of the DBus client requesting the new action must match the PID of
++   the DBus client requesting the old action (based on SO_PEERCRED information
++   forwarded by the DBus daemon).
++ - The "start time" of the client's PID (as seen in /proc/$pid/stat, field 22)
++   must not have changed. The granularity of this timestamp is in the
++   millisecond range.
++ - polkit polls every two seconds whether a process with the expected start time
++   still exists. If not, the temporary auth entry is purged.
++
++Without the start time check, this would obviously be buggy because an attacker
++could simply wait for the legitimate client to disappear, then create a new
++client with the same PID.
++
++Unfortunately, the start time check is bypassable because fork() is not atomic.
++Looking at the source code of copy_process() in the kernel:
++
++        p->start_time = ktime_get_ns();
++        p->real_start_time = ktime_get_boot_ns();
++        [...]
++        retval = copy_thread_tls(clone_flags, stack_start, stack_size, p, tls);
++        if (retval)
++                goto bad_fork_cleanup_io;
++
++        if (pid != &init_struct_pid) {
++                pid = alloc_pid(p->nsproxy->pid_ns_for_children);
++                if (IS_ERR(pid)) {
++                        retval = PTR_ERR(pid);
++                        goto bad_fork_cleanup_thread;
++                }
++        }
++
++The ktime_get_boot_ns() call is where the "start time" of the process is
++recorded. The alloc_pid() call is where a free PID is allocated. In between
++these, some time passes; and because the copy_thread_tls() call between them can
++access userspace memory when sys_clone() is invoked through the 32-bit syscall
++entry point, an attacker can even stall the kernel arbitrarily long at this
++point (by supplying a pointer into userspace memory that is associated with a
++userfaultfd or is backed by a custom FUSE filesystem).
++
++This means that an attacker can immediately call sys_clone() when the victim
++process is created, often resulting in a process that has the exact same start
++time reported in procfs; and then the attacker can delay the alloc_pid() call
++until after the victim process has died and the PID assignment has cycled
++around. This results in an attacker process that polkit can't distinguish from
++the victim process.
