[RFC PATCH] security,anon_inodes,kvm: enable security support for anon inodes

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

 



Add support for labeling and controlling access to files attached to anon
inodes. Introduce extended interfaces for creating such files to permit
passing a related file as an input to decide how to label the anon
inode. Define a security hook for initializing the anon inode security
attributes. Security attributes are either inherited from a related file
or determined based on some combination of the creating task and policy
(in the case of SELinux, using type_transition rules).  As an
example user of the inheritance support, convert kvm to use the new
interface for passing the related file so that the anon inode can inherit
the security attributes of /dev/kvm and provide consistent access control
for subsequent ioctl operations.  Other users of anon inodes, including
userfaultfd, will default to the transition-based mechanism instead.

Compared to the series in
https://lore.kernel.org/selinux/20200211225547.235083-1-dancol@xxxxxxxxxx/,
this approach differs in that it does not require creation of a separate
anonymous inode for each file (instead storing the per-instance security
information in the file security blob), it applies labeling and control
to all users of anonymous inodes rather than requiring opt-in via a new
flag, it supports labeling based on a related inode if provided,
it relies on type transitions to compute the label of the anon inode
when there is no related inode, and it does not require introducing a new
security class for each user of anonymous inodes.

On the other hand, the approach in this patch does expose the name passed
by the creator of the anon inode to the policy (an indirect mapping could
be provided within SELinux if these names aren't considered to be stable),
requires the definition of type_transition rules to distinguish userfaultfd
inodes from proc inodes based on type since they share the same class,
doesn't support denying the creation of anonymous inodes (making the hook
added by this patch return something other than void is problematic due to
it being called after the file is already allocated and error handling in
the callers can't presently account for this scenario and end up calling
release methods multiple times), and may be more expensive
(security_transition_sid overhead on each anon inode allocation).

We are primarily posting this RFC patch now so that the two different
approaches can be concretely compared.  We anticipate a hybrid of the
two approaches being the likely outcome in the end.  In particular
if support for allocating a separate inode for each of these files
is acceptable, then we would favor storing the security information
in the inode security blob and using it instead of the file security
blob.

This patch only converts kvm to use a related inode (/dev/kvm) for the
creation of anon inodes as an example user. We would look to
incrementally convert other subsystems where applicable. This could
potentially cause policy breakage if policies are written for a subsystem
using the type_transition rules and then the subsystem is later converted
to use a related inode, so some means of compatible evolution would be
required.

There are a number of file permission checks in SELinux that do not
currently use the file_has_perm() helper and therefore do not pick up
the logic for handling these anonymous inodes. These will need to be looked
at further to see whether they are relevant to anonymous inodes and should
be updated with the new logic.

Any hooks that are directly passed a dentry or inode and not a file will
still skip permission checking by virtue of the S_ISPRIVATE() checks in
security/security.c and in security/selinux/hooks.c. At some point they
need to be audited to determine whether they are relevant to anonymous
inodes.

This change may create compatibility issues since it unconditionally
enables labeling and access control for all anonymous inodes; it is
known to break two selinux-testsuite bpf tests without adjusting its
policy.  It will likely need to be wrapped by a SELinux policy
capability before being merged to prevent breaking existing policies.

An example of a sample program and policy will follow in a follow-up
to this patch to demonstrate the effect on userfaultfd and kvm.
