This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled crypto: ccp - Fix the INIT_EX data file open failure to the 5.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: crypto-ccp-fix-the-init_ex-data-file-open-failure.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b2de3c76986cd82202ac794c5d94c3323dabae1e Author: Jacky Li <jackyli@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Apr 14 16:23:25 2022 +0000 crypto: ccp - Fix the INIT_EX data file open failure [ Upstream commit 05def5cacfa0bd5ba380116046747da07ff5bd78 ] There are 2 common cases when INIT_EX data file might not be opened successfully and fail the sev initialization: 1. In user namespaces, normal user tasks (e.g. VMM) can change their current->fs->root to point to arbitrary directories. While init_ex_path is provided as a module param related to root file system. Solution: use the root directory of init_task to avoid accessing the wrong file. 2. Normal user tasks (e.g. VMM) don't have the privilege to access the INIT_EX data file. Solution: open the file as root and restore permissions immediately.
