sysfs: Do not return POSIX ACL xattrs via listxattr

2018-09-18T11:30:48Z

Commit 786534b92f3c introduced a regression that caused listxattr to return the POSIX ACL attribute names even though sysfs doesn't support POSIX ACLs. This happens because simple_xattr_list checks for NULL i_acl / i_default_acl, but inode_init_always initializes those fields to ACL_NOT_CACHED ((void *)-1). For example: $ getfattr -m- -d /sys /sys: system.posix_acl_access: Operation not supported /sys: system.posix_acl_default: Operation not supported Fix this in simple_xattr_list by checking if the filesystem supports POSIX ACLs.

getxattr: use correct xattr length

2018-08-23T18:42:57Z

When running in a container with a user namespace, if you call getxattr with name = "system.posix_acl_access" and size % 8 != 4, then getxattr silently skips the user namespace fixup that it normally does resulting in un-fixed-up data being returned. This is caused by posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user() being passed the total buffer size and not the actual size of the xattr as returned by vfs_getxattr(). This commit passes the actual length of the xattr as returned by vfs_getxattr() down. A reproducer for the issue is: touch acl_posix setfacl -m user:0:rwx acl_posix and the compile: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include #include #include #include #include #include #include /* Run in user namespace with nsuid 0 mapped to uid != 0 on the host. */ int main(int argc, void **argv) { ssize_t ret1, ret2; char buf1[128], buf2[132]; int fret = EXIT_SUCCESS; char *file; if (argc < 2) { fprintf(stderr, "Please specify a file with " "\"system.posix_acl_access\" permissions set\n"); _exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } file = argv[1]; ret1 = getxattr(file, "system.posix_acl_access", buf1, sizeof(buf1)); if (ret1 < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "%s - Failed to retrieve " "\"system.posix_acl_access\" " "from \"%s\"\n", strerror(errno), file); _exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } ret2 = getxattr(file, "system.posix_acl_access", buf2, sizeof(buf2)); if (ret2 < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "%s - Failed to retrieve " "\"system.posix_acl_access\" " "from \"%s\"\n", strerror(errno), file); _exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } if (ret1 != ret2) { fprintf(stderr, "The value of \"system.posix_acl_" "access\" for file \"%s\" changed " "between two successive calls\n", file); _exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } for (ssize_t i = 0; i < ret2; i++) { if (buf1[i] == buf2[i]) continue; fprintf(stderr, "Unexpected different in byte %zd: " "%02x != %02x\n", i, buf1[i], buf2[i]); fret = EXIT_FAILURE; } if (fret == EXIT_SUCCESS) fprintf(stderr, "Test passed\n"); else fprintf(stderr, "Test failed\n"); _exit(fret); } and run: ./tester acl_posix On a non-fixed up kernel this should return something like: root@c1:/# ./t Unexpected different in byte 16: ffffffa0 != 00 Unexpected different in byte 17: ffffff86 != 00 Unexpected different in byte 18: 01 != 00 and on a fixed kernel: root@c1:~# ./t Test passed Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 2f6f0654ab61 ("userns: Convert vfs posix_acl support to use kuids and kgids") Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199945 Reported-by: Colin Watson Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner Acked-by: Serge Hallyn Signed-off-by: Eric W.

lsm: fix smack_inode_removexattr and xattr_getsecurity memleak

2017-10-04T07:03:15Z

security_inode_getsecurity() provides the text string value of a security attribute. It does not provide a "secctx". The code in xattr_getsecurity() that calls security_inode_getsecurity() and then calls security_release_secctx() happened to work because SElinux and Smack treat the attribute and the secctx the same way. It fails for cap_inode_getsecurity(), because that module has no secctx that ever needs releasing. It turns out that Smack is the one that's doing things wrong by not allocating memory when instructed to do so by the "alloc" parameter. The fix is simple enough. Change the security_release_secctx() to kfree() because it isn't a secctx being returned by security_inode_getsecurity(). Change Smack to allocate the string when told to do so. Note: this also fixes memory leaks for LSMs which implement inode_getsecurity but not release_secctx, such as capabilities.

ovl: don't allow writing ioctl on lower layer

2017-09-05T10:53:12Z

Problem with ioctl() is that it's a file operation, yet often used as an inode operation (i.e. modify the inode despite the file being opened for read-only). mnt_want_write_file() is used by filesystems in such cases to get write access on an arbitrary open file. Since overlayfs lets filesystems do all file operations, including ioctl, this can lead to mnt_want_write_file() returning OK for a lower file and modification of that lower file. This patch prevents modification by checking if the file is from an overlayfs lower layer and returning EPERM in that case. Need to introduce a mnt_want_write_file_path() variant that still does the old thing for inode operations that can do the copy up + modification correctly in such cases (fchown, fsetxattr, fremovexattr). This does not address the correctness of such ioctls on overlayfs (the correct way would be to copy up and attempt to perform ioctl on upper file). In theory this could be a regression. We very much hope that nobody is relying on such a hack in any sane setup. While this patch meddles in VFS code, it has no effect on non-overlayfs filesystems.

Introduce v3 namespaced file capabilities

2017-09-01T19:57:15Z

Root in a non-initial user ns cannot be trusted to write a traditional security.capability xattr. If it were allowed to do so, then any unprivileged user on the host could map his own uid to root in a private namespace, write the xattr, and execute the file with privilege on the host. However supporting file capabilities in a user namespace is very desirable. Not doing so means that any programs designed to run with limited privilege must continue to support other methods of gaining and dropping privilege. For instance a program installer must detect whether file capabilities can be assigned, and assign them if so but set setuid-root otherwise. The program in turn must know how to drop partial capabilities, and do so only if setuid-root. This patch introduces v3 of the security.capability xattr. It builds a vfs_ns_cap_data struct by appending a uid_t rootid to struct vfs_cap_data. This is the absolute uid_t (that is, the uid_t in user namespace which mounted the filesystem, usually init_user_ns) of the root id in whose namespaces the file capabilities may take effect. When a task asks to write a v2 security.capability xattr, if it is privileged with respect to the userns which mounted the filesystem, then nothing should change. Otherwise, the kernel will transparently rewrite the xattr as a v3 with the appropriate rootid. This is done during the execution of setxattr() to catch user-space-initiated capability writes. Subsequently, any task executing the file which has the noted kuid as its root uid, or which is in a descendent user_ns of such a user_ns, will run the file with capabilities. Similarly when asking to read file capabilities, a v3 capability will be presented as v2 if it applies to the caller's namespace. If a task writes a v3 security.capability, then it can provide a uid for the xattr so long as the uid is valid in its own user namespace, and it is privileged with CAP_SETFCAP over its namespace. The kernel will translate that rootid to an absolute uid, and write that to disk. After this, a task in the writer's namespace will not be able to use those capabilities (unless rootid was 0), but a task in a namespace where the given uid is root will. Only a single security.capability xattr may exist at a time for a given file. A task may overwrite an existing xattr so long as it is privileged over the inode. Note this is a departure from previous semantics, which required privilege to remove a security.capability xattr. This check can be re-added if deemed useful. This allows a simple setxattr to work, allows tar/untar to work, and allows us to tar in one namespace and untar in another while preserving the capability, without risking leaking privilege into a parent namespace. Example using tar: $ cp /bin/sleep sleepx $ mkdir b1 b2 $ lxc-usernsexec -m b:0:100000:1 -m b:1:$(id -u):1 -- chown 0:0 b1 $ lxc-usernsexec -m b:0:100001:1 -m b:1:$(id -u):1 -- chown 0:0 b2 $ lxc-usernsexec -m b:0:100000:1000 -- tar --xattrs-include=security.capability --xattrs -cf b1/sleepx.tar sleepx $ lxc-usernsexec -m b:0:100001:1000 -- tar --xattrs-include=security.capability --xattrs -C b2 -xf b1/sleepx.tar $ lxc-usernsexec -m b:0:100001:1000 -- getcap b2/sleepx b2/sleepx = cap_sys_admin+ep # /opt/ltp/testcases/bin/getv3xattr b2/sleepx v3 xattr, rootid is 100001 A patch to linux-test-project adding a new set of tests for this functionality is in the nsfscaps branch at github.com/hallyn/ltp Changelog: Nov 02 2016: fix invalid check at refuse_fcap_overwrite() Nov 07 2016: convert rootid from and to fs user_ns (From ebiederm: mar 28 2017) commoncap.c: fix typos - s/v4/v3 get_vfs_caps_from_disk: clarify the fs_ns root access check nsfscaps: change the code split for cap_inode_setxattr() Apr 09 2017: don't return v3 cap for caps owned by current root. return a v2 cap for a true v2 cap in non-init ns Apr 18 2017: .
