If fuse daemon is started with cache=never, fuse falls back to direct IO. In that write path we don't call file_remove_privs() and that means setuid bit is not cleared if unpriviliged user writes to a file with setuid bit set. pjdfstest chmod test 12.t tests this and fails. Fix this by calling fuse_remove_privs() even for direct I/O path. I tested this as follows. - Run fuse example pasthrough fs. $ passthrough_ll /mnt/pasthrough-mnt -o default_permissions,allow_other,cache=never $ mkdir /mnt/pasthrough-mnt/testdir $ cd /mnt/pasthrough-mnt/testdir $ prove -rv pjdfstests/tests/chmod/12.t Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/fuse/file.c | 18 +++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/fuse/file.c b/fs/fuse/file.c index 06096b60f1df..5baf07fd2876 100644 --- a/fs/fuse/file.c +++ b/fs/fuse/file.c @@ -1456,14 +1456,18 @@ static ssize_t fuse_direct_write_iter(struct kiocb *iocb, struct iov_iter *from) /* Don't allow parallel writes to the same file */ inode_lock(inode); res = generic_write_checks(iocb, from); - if (res > 0) { - if (!is_sync_kiocb(iocb) && iocb->ki_flags & IOCB_DIRECT) { - res = fuse_direct_IO(iocb, from); - } else { - res = fuse_direct_io(&io, from, &iocb->ki_pos, - FUSE_DIO_WRITE); - } + if (res <= 0) + goto out; + + res = file_remove_privs(iocb->ki_filp); + if (res) + goto out; + if (!is_sync_kiocb(iocb) && iocb->ki_flags & IOCB_DIRECT) { + res = fuse_direct_IO(iocb, from); + } else { + res = fuse_direct_io(&io, from, &iocb->ki_pos, FUSE_DIO_WRITE); } +out: fuse_invalidate_attr(inode); if (res > 0) fuse_write_update_size(inode, iocb->ki_pos); -- 2.20.1
