RFC: BUG: overlayfs getxattr recursion leaves a poison sid.

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

 



For EACCES return for getxattr, sid appears to be expected updated in parent node. For some accesses purely cosmetic for correct avc logging, and depending on kernel vintage for others (older than 4.4) the lack of the corrected sid in the parent overlay inode poisons the security cache and results in false denials.

The avc denials would contain an (incorrect) unlabelled target references, we could fix this by copying up the sid to the parent inode. However the test (below) needs to refactored to the pleasure of the security, selinux and overlayfs maintainers. The security_socket_accept function is _close_, it will copy sid and class from the old socket to the new. Along those lines, we probably need to add a new security_copy_to_upper handler that takes the upper and lower dentries and ensures that the upper contains all the security information associated with the lower.

Prototype adjustment (tested in 3.18 to ToT)

int ovl_xattr_get(struct dentry *dentry, struct inode *inode, const char *name, { ssize_t res; const struct cred *old_cred; struct dentry *realdentry = ovl_i_dentry_upper(inode) ?: ovl_dentry_lower(dentry); old_cred = ovl_override_creds(dentry->d_sb); res = vfs_getxattr(realdentry, name, value, size); ovl_revert_creds(old_cred); + if (res == -EACCES) { + selinux_copy_sid(dentry, realdentry); return res; }

. . .

+ void selinux_copy_sid(struct dentry *parent, struct dentry *child) + { + struct inode *pinode, *cinode; + struct inode_security_struct *pisec, *cisec; + + if (!parent || !child) + return; + pinode = parent->d_inode; + cinode = child->d_inode; + if (!pinode || !cinode) + return; + pisec = pinode->i_security; + cisec = cinode->i_security; + if (!pisec || !cisec) + return; + pisec->sid = cisec->sid; + } + EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(selinux_copy_sid);
