Ignore all selinux_inode_notifysecctx() calls on mounts with the SECURITY_FS_USE_MNTPOINT behavior. This fixes behavior of kernfs-based filesystems when mounted with the 'context=' option. Before this patch, if a node's context had been explicitly set to a non-default value and later the filesystem has been remounted with the 'context=' option, then this node would show up as having a different context. Steps to reproduce: # mount -t cgroup2 cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup/unified # chcon unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/cgroup.stat # ls -lZ /sys/fs/cgroup/unified total 0 -r--r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.controllers -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.max.depth -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.max.descendants -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.procs -r--r--r--. 1 root root unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.stat -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.subtree_control -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.threads # umount /sys/fs/cgroup/unified # mount -o context=system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 -t cgroup2 cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup/unified Result before: # ls -lZ /sys/fs/cgroup/unified total 0 -r--r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.controllers -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.max.depth -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.max.descendants -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.procs -r--r--r--. 1 root root unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.stat -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.subtree_control -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.threads Result after: # ls -lZ /sys/fs/cgroup/unified total 0 -r--r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.controllers -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.max.depth -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.max.descendants -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.procs -r--r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.stat -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.subtree_control -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 0 Dec 13 10:41 cgroup.threads Signed-off-by: Ondrej Mosnacek <omosnace@xxxxxxxxxx> --- security/selinux/hooks.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/security/selinux/hooks.c b/security/selinux/hooks.c index d6d29ec54eab..0ca5ed30afe1 100644 --- a/security/selinux/hooks.c +++ b/security/selinux/hooks.c @@ -6620,6 +6620,13 @@ static void selinux_inode_invalidate_secctx(struct inode *inode) */ static int selinux_inode_notifysecctx(struct inode *inode, void *ctx, u32 ctxlen) { + struct superblock_security_struct *sbsec = inode->i_sb->s_security; + + /* Do not change context in SECURITY_FS_USE_MNTPOINT case */ + if ((sbsec->flags & SE_SBINITIALIZED) && + (sbsec->behavior == SECURITY_FS_USE_MNTPOINT)) + return 0; + return selinux_inode_setsecurity(inode, XATTR_SELINUX_SUFFIX, ctx, ctxlen, 0); } -- 2.19.2
