Subject: exec: relocate S_ISREG() check
The execve(2)/uselib(2) syscalls have always rejected non-regular files.
Recently, it was noticed that a deadlock was introduced when trying to
execute pipes, as the S_ISREG() test was happening too late. This was
fixed in commit 73601ea5b7b1 ("fs/open.c: allow opening only regular files
during execve()"), but it was added after inode_permission() had already
run, which meant LSMs could see bogus attempts to execute non-regular
files. Move the test earlier.
Also include a comment with the redundant S_ISREG() checks at the end of
execve(2)/uselib(2) to note that they are present to avoid any mistakes.
Finally, instead of dereferencing the inode, use dcache for S_ISREG()
test.
My notes on the call path, and related arguments, checks, etc:
do_open_execat()
struct open_flags open_exec_flags = {
.open_flag = O_LARGEFILE | O_RDONLY | __FMODE_EXEC, ...
do_filp_open(dfd, filename, open_flags)
path_openat(nameidata, open_flags, flags)
/* f_mode populated from open_flags in alloc_empty_file() */
file = alloc_empty_file(open_flags, current_cred());
do_open(nameidata, file, open_flags)
/* new location of FMODE_EXEC vs S_ISREG() test */
may_open(path, acc_mode, open_flag)
inode_permission(inode, MAY_OPEN | acc_mode)
security_inode_permission(inode, acc_mode)
vfs_open(path, file)
do_dentry_open(file, path->dentry->d_inode, open)
/* old location of FMODE_EXEC vs S_ISREG() test */
security_file_open(f)
open()
