Subject: [PATCH] 9pfs: local: set the path of the export root to "."
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The local backend was recently converted to using "at*()" syscalls in order
to ensure all accesses happen below the shared directory. This requires that
we only pass relative paths, otherwise the dirfd argument to the "at*()"
syscalls is ignored and the path is treated as an absolute path in the host.
This is actually the case for paths in all fids, with the notable exception
of the root fid, whose path is "/". This causes the following backend ops to
act on the "/" directory of the host instead of the virtfs shared directory
when the export root is involved:
- lstat
- chmod
- chown
- utimensat

ie, chmod /9p_mount_point in the guest will be converted to chmod / in the
host for example. This could cause security issues with a privileged QEMU.

All "*at()" syscalls are being passed an open file descriptor. In the case
of the export root, this file descriptor points to the path in the host that
was passed to -fsdev.

The fix is thus as simple as changing the path of the export root fid to be
"." instead of "/".

This is CVE-2017-7471.
