Hey Casey
I have tested this patch and I see the smack_uring_cmd prevents access
to file when smack labels are different. They way I got there was a bit
convoluted and I'll describe it here so ppl can judge how valid the test
is.
Tested-by: Joel Granados <j.granados@xxxxxxxxxxx>
I started by reproducing what Kanchan had done by changing the smack
label from "_" to "Snap". Then I ran the io_uring passthrough test
included in liburing with an unprivileged user and saw that the
smack_uring_cmd function was NOT executed because smack prevented an open on
the device file ("/dev/ng0n1" on my box).
So here I got a bit sneaky and changed the label after the open to the
device was done. This is how I did it:
1. In the io_uring_passthrough.c tests I stopped execution after the
device was open and before the actual IO.
2. While on hold I changed the label of the device from "_" to "Snap".
At this point the device had a "Snap" label and the executable had a
"_" label.
3. Previous to execution I had placed a printk inside the
smack_uring_cmd function. And I also made sure to printk whenever
security_uring_command returned because of a security violation.
4. I continued execution and saw that both smack_uiring_cmd and
io_uring_cmd returned error. Which is what I expected.
I'm still a bit unsure of my setup so if anyone has comments or a way to
make it better, I would really appreciate feedback.
Best
Joel
