From: Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <mfo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3b646abc5bc6c0df649daea4c2c976bd4d47e4c8 ] Currently apparmor_sk_clone_security() does not check for existing label/peer in the 'new' struct sock; it just overwrites it, if any (with another reference to the label of the source sock.) static void apparmor_sk_clone_security(const struct sock *sk, struct sock *newsk) { struct aa_sk_ctx *ctx = SK_CTX(sk); struct aa_sk_ctx *new = SK_CTX(newsk); new->label = aa_get_label(ctx->label); new->peer = aa_get_label(ctx->peer); } This might leak label references, which might overflow under load. Thus, check for and put labels, to prevent such errors. Note this is similarly done on: static int apparmor_socket_post_create(struct socket *sock, ...) ... if (sock->sk) { struct aa_sk_ctx *ctx = SK_CTX(sock->sk); aa_put_label(ctx->label); ctx->label = aa_get_label(label); } ... Context: ------- The label reference count leak is observed if apparmor_sock_graft() is called previously: this sets the 'ctx->label' field by getting a reference to the current label (later overwritten, without put.) static void apparmor_sock_graft(struct sock *sk, ...) { struct aa_sk_ctx *ctx = SK_CTX(sk); if (!ctx->label) ctx->label = aa_get_current_label(); } And that is the case on crypto/af_alg.c:af_alg_accept(): int af_alg_accept(struct sock *sk, struct socket *newsock, ...) ... struct sock *sk2; ... sk2 = sk_alloc(...); ... security_sock_graft(sk2, newsock); security_sk_clone(sk, sk2); ... Apparently both calls are done on their own right, especially for other LSMs, being introduced in 2010/2014, before apparmor socket mediation in 2017 (see commits [1,2,3,4]). So, it looks OK there! Let's fix the reference leak in apparmor. Test-case: --------- Exercise that code path enough to overflow label reference count. $ cat aa-refcnt-af_alg.c #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <linux/if_alg.h> int main() { int sockfd; struct sockaddr_alg sa; /* Setup the crypto API socket */ sockfd = socket(AF_ALG, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0); if (sockfd < 0) { perror("socket"); return 1; } memset(&sa, 0, sizeof(sa)); sa.salg_family = AF_ALG; strcpy((char *) sa.salg_type, "rng"); strcpy((char *) sa.salg_name, "stdrng"); if (bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *) &sa, sizeof(sa)) < 0) { perror("bind"); return 1; } /* Accept a "connection" and close it; repeat. */ while (!close(accept(sockfd, NULL, 0))); return 0; } $ gcc -o aa-refcnt-af_alg aa-refcnt-af_alg.c $ ./aa-refcnt-af_alg <a few hours later> [ 9928.475953] refcount_t overflow at apparmor_sk_clone_security+0x37/0x70 in aa-refcnt-af_alg[1322], uid/euid: 1000/1000 ...
