Here is a reproducer. The problem is that TOMOYO is accessing already freed socket from security_file_open() which later fails with -ENXIO (because we can't get file descriptor of sockets via /proc/pid/fd/n interface), and the file descriptor is getting released before security_file_open() completes because we do not raise "struct file"->f_count of the file which is accessible via /proc/pid/fd/n interface. We can avoid this problem if we can avoid calling security_file_open() which after all fails with -ENXIO. How should we handle this race? Let LSM modules check if security_file_open() was called on a socket? ---------------------------------------- diff --git a/fs/open.c b/fs/open.c index b5b80469b93d..995ffcb37128 100644 --- a/fs/open.c +++ b/fs/open.c @@ -765,6 +765,12 @@ static int do_dentry_open(struct file *f, error = security_file_open(f); if (error) goto cleanup_all; + if (!strcmp(current->comm, "a.out") && + f->f_path.dentry->d_sb->s_magic == SOCKFS_MAGIC) { + printk("Start open(socket) delay\n"); + schedule_timeout_killable(HZ * 5); + printk("End open(socket) delay\n"); + } error = break_lease(locks_inode(f), f->f_flags); if (error) ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/socket.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { pid_t pid = getpid(); int fd = socket(AF_ISDN, SOCK_RAW, 0); char buffer[128] = { }; if (fork() == 0) { close(fd); snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer) - 1, "/proc/%u/fd/%u", pid, fd); open(buffer, 3); _exit(0); } sleep(2); close(fd); return 0; } ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- getpid() = 32504 socket(AF_ISDN, SOCK_RAW, 0) = 3 clone(strace: Process 32505 attached child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7efea30dda10) = 32505 [pid 32504] rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], <unfinished ...> [pid 32505] close(3 <unfinished ...> [pid 32504] <... rt_sigprocmask resumed> [], 8) = 0 [pid 32505] <... close resumed> ) = 0 [pid 32504] rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD, NULL, {SIG_DFL, [], 0}, 8) = 0 [pid 32505] open("/proc/32504/fd/3", O_ACCMODE <unfinished ...> [pid 32504] rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 [pid 32504] nanosleep({2, 0}, 0x7ffd3c608150) = 0 [pid 32504] close(3) = 0 [pid 32504] exit_group(0) = ?
