Currently, locking of ->session is very inconsistent; most places protect it using the legacy tty mutex, but disassociate_ctty(), __do_SAK(), tiocspgrp() and tiocgsid() don't. Two of the writers hold the ctrl_lock (because they already need it for ->pgrp), but __proc_set_tty() doesn't do that yet. On a PREEMPT=y system, an unprivileged user can theoretically abuse this broken locking to read 4 bytes of freed memory via TIOCGSID if tiocgsid() is preempted long enough at the right point. (Other things might also go wrong, especially if root-only ioctls are involved; I'm not sure about that.) Change the locking on ->session such that: - tty_lock() is held by all writers: By making disassociate_ctty() hold it. This should be fine because the same lock can already be taken through the call to tty_vhangup_session(). The tricky part is that we need to shorten the area covered by siglock to be able to take tty_lock() without ugly retry logic; as far as I can tell, this should be fine, since nothing in the signal_struct is touched in the `if (tty)` branch. - ctrl_lock is held by all writers: By changing __proc_set_tty() to hold the lock a little longer. - All readers that aren't holding tty_lock() hold ctrl_lock: By adding locking to tiocgsid() and __do_SAK(), and expanding the area covered by ctrl_lock in tiocspgrp().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
