"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbinfmt_misc: set have_execfd only once the interpreter is opened\n\nload_misc_binary() raises bprm->have_execfd as soon as it sees the 'O'\n(or 'C') flag. This happens well before it opens the interpreter. If\nthat open fails the flag stays set on the bprm. binfmt_misc is at the\nhead of the format list so an interpreter open failure that returns\n-ENOEXEC lets the search fall through to a later format. This means it\nruns the matched binary directly having never staged an interpreter. So\nbprm->executable is NULL while have_execfd falsely claims a descriptor\nis present.\n\nConsequently, begin_new_exec() dereferences the missing executable:\n\n would_dump(bprm, bprm->executable);\n\nand NULL derefs. Had it not, the hand-off later in the same function\nwould have failed anyway. FD_ADD(0, bprm->executable) rejects a NULL\nfile with -ENOMEM. Both sites are past the point of no return so the\nexec cannot be unwound either way.\n\nThis can be reached by unprivileged users as binfmt_misc can be mounted\nin user namespaces. So a user can register an 'O' entry whose\ninterpreter lives on a FUSE mount, have the FUSE server fail the open\nwith -ENOEXEC and execute a native ELF file that matches the entry.\n\nhave_execfd only means anything alongside the executable it describes\nwhich is not set until the interpreter has been opened and staged.\nSo lets raise it there, next to execfd_creds, which is already set at\nthat point. An open failure now leaves it clear, so the fallback format\nderives credentials from the binary and emits no AT_EXECFD, as it would\nfor any native exec. The argv rewrite load_misc_binary() performs before\nthe open is still not undone. This means the binary sees the interpreter\npath in argv[0] and its own path in argv[1] but that predates this\nchange and only became observable once the exec stopped faulting."
