Completes the host-fingerprint refactor that started in c00c3b4. Every
module now consults the shared ctx->host (populated once at startup
by core/host.c) instead of re-doing uname / geteuid / /etc/os-release
parsing / fork+unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) probes per detect().
Migrations applied per module (mechanical, no exploit logic touched):
1. #include "../../core/host.h" inside each module's #ifdef __linux__.
2. kernel_version_current(&v) -> ctx->host->kernel (with the
v -> v-> arrow-vs-dot fix for all later usage). Drops ~20 redundant
uname() calls across the corpus.
3. geteuid() == 0 (the 'already root, nothing to escalate' gate) ->
bool is_root = ctx->host ? ctx->host->is_root : (geteuid() == 0);
This is the key change that lets the unit test suite construct
non-root fingerprints regardless of the test process's actual euid.
4. Per-detect fork+unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) probe helpers (named
can_unshare_userns / can_unshare_userns_mount across the corpus)
are removed wholesale; their call sites now consult
ctx->host->unprivileged_userns_allowed, which was probed once at
startup. Removes ~10 per-scan fork()s.
Modules touched by this commit (22):
Batch A (7): dirty_pipe, dirty_cow, ptrace_traceme, pwnkit,
cgroup_release_agent, overlayfs_setuid, and entrybleed
(no migration target — KPTI gate stays as direct sysfs
read; documented as 'no applicable pattern').
Batch B (7): nf_tables, cls_route4, netfilter_xtcompat, af_packet,
af_packet2, af_unix_gc, fuse_legacy.
Batch C (8): stackrot, nft_set_uaf, nft_fwd_dup, nft_payload,
sudo_samedit, sequoia, sudoedit_editor, vmwgfx.
Combined with the 4 modules already migrated (dirtydecrypt, fragnesia,
pack2theroot, overlayfs) and the 5-module copy_fail_family bridge,
the entire registered corpus now goes through ctx->host. The 4
'fork+unshare per detect()' helpers that existed across nf_tables,
cls_route4, netfilter_xtcompat, af_packet, af_packet2, fuse_legacy,
nft_set_uaf, nft_fwd_dup, nft_payload, sequoia,
cgroup_release_agent, and overlayfs_setuid are now gone — replaced by
the single startup probe in core/host.c.
Verification:
- Linux (docker gcc:latest + libglib2.0-dev): full clean build links
31 modules; tests/test_detect.c: 8/8 pass.
- macOS (local): full clean build links 31 modules (Mach-O, 172KB);
test suite reports skipped as designed on non-Linux.
Subsequent commits can add more EXPECT_DETECT cases in
tests/test_detect.c — the host-fingerprint paths in every module are
now uniformly testable via synthetic struct skeletonkey_host instances.
The README has been claiming "each module credits the original CVE
reporter and PoC author in its NOTICE.md" since v0.1.0, but only
copy_fail_family actually shipped one. Fixed.
modules/<name>/NOTICE.md (×19 new + 1 existing): per-module
research credit covering CVE ID, discoverer, original advisory
URL where public, upstream fix commit, IAMROOT's role.
iamroot.c: new --dump-offsets subcommand. Resolves kernel offsets
via the existing core/offsets.c four-source chain (env →
/proc/kallsyms → /boot/System.map → embedded table), then emits
a ready-to-paste C struct entry for kernel_table[]. Run once
as root on a target kernel build; upstream via PR. Eliminates
fabricating offsets — every shipped entry traces back to a
`iamroot --dump-offsets` invocation on a real kernel.
docs/OFFSETS.md: documents the --dump-offsets workflow.
CVES.md: notes the NOTICE.md convention + offset dump tool.
iamroot.c: bump IAMROOT_VERSION 0.3.0 → 0.3.1.
