[PATCH 4.14 46/61] afs: Fix directory permissions check

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

 



4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 378831e4daec75fbba6d3612bcf3b4dd00ddbf08 ]

Doing faccessat("/afs/some/directory", 0) triggers a BUG in the permissions
check code.

Fix this by just removing the BUG section.  If no permissions are asked
for, just return okay if the file exists.

Also:

 (1) Split up the directory check so that it has separate if-statements
     rather than if-else-if (e.g. checking for MAY_EXEC shouldn't skip the
     check for MAY_READ and MAY_WRITE).

 (2) Check for MAY_CHDIR as MAY_EXEC.

Without the main fix, the following BUG may occur:

 kernel BUG at fs/afs/security.c:386!
 invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
 ...
 RIP: 0010:afs_permission+0x19d/0x1a0 [kafs]
 ...
 Call Trace:
  ? inode_permission+0xbe/0x180
  ? do_faccessat+0xdc/0x270
  ? do_syscall_64+0x60/0x1f0
  ? entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe
