From 4a3591287fb7f808e209b4974ed337f609a2006b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jinjie Ruan Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 10:57:12 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] entry: Fix seccomp bypass after ptrace with TSYNC Sashiko review pointed out the following issue. If a thread is stopped in syscall_trace_enter() for ptrace, another thread can install a seccomp filter with SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC (e.g., via seccomp_attach_filter()). This will successfully set SYSCALL_WORK_SECCOMP on the stopped thread, but syscall_trace_enter() evaluates a cached 'work' variable sampled on entry. Consequently, the subsequent check for SYSCALL_WORK_SECCOMP misses the newly assigned flag, and the filter is silently bypassed. This race condition could allow an unprivileged process to execute a prohibited system call (e.g., execve) that the newly installed filter was intended to block, especially since the tracer might have modified the system call number during the ptrace stop. Fix this by re-reading the syscall_work flags after ptrace handling, so that any new SYSCALL_WORK_SECCOMP flag set by another thread via TSYNC during the ptrace stop is observed before the subsequent seccomp check.
