[PATCH v2] cred: Propagate security_prepare_creds() error code

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



While experimenting with the security_prepare_creds() LSM hook, we
noticed that our EPERM error code was not propagated up the callstack.
Instead ENOMEM is always returned.  As a result, some tools may send a
confusing error message to the user:

$ unshare -rU
unshare: unshare failed: Cannot allocate memory

A user would think that the system didn't have enough memory, when
instead the action was denied.

This problem occurs because prepare_creds() and prepare_kernel_cred()
return NULL when security_prepare_creds() returns an error code. Later,
functions calling prepare_creds() and prepare_kernel_cred() return
ENOMEM because they assume that a NULL meant there was no memory
allocated.

Fix this by propagating an error code from security_prepare_creds() up
the callstack.

Changes since v1:
- Revert style churn in ovl_create_or_link() noted by Amir
- Revert style churn in prepare_nsset() noted by Serge
- Update documentation for prepare_creds()
- Set ofs->creator_cred in ovl_fill_super() and req->creds in aio_fsync()
  to NULL on error noted by Amir
