LSM: Add /sys/kernel/security/lsm

2017-01-19T02:18:29Z

I am still tired of having to find indirect ways to determine what security modules are active on a system. I have added /sys/kernel/security/lsm, which contains a comma separated list of the active security modules. No more groping around in /proc/filesystems or other clever hacks. Unchanged from previous versions except for being updated to the latest security next branch.

security,selinux,smack: kill security_task_wait hook

2017-01-12T16:10:57Z

As reported by yangshukui, a permission denial from security_task_wait() can lead to a soft lockup in zap_pid_ns_processes() since it only expects sys_wait4() to return 0 or -ECHILD. Further, security_task_wait() can in general lead to zombies; in the absence of some way to automatically reparent a child process upon a denial, the hook is not useful. Remove the security hook and its implementations in SELinux and Smack. Smack already removed its check from its hook.

proc,security: move restriction on writing /proc/pid/attr nodes to proc

2017-01-09T15:07:31Z

Processes can only alter their own security attributes via /proc/pid/attr nodes. This is presently enforced by each individual security module and is also imposed by the Linux credentials implementation, which only allows a task to alter its own credentials. Move the check enforcing this restriction from the individual security modules to proc_pid_attr_write() before calling the security hook, and drop the unnecessary task argument to the security hook since it can only ever be the current task.

security, overlayfs: Provide hook to correctly label newly created files

2016-08-09T00:46:46Z

During a new file creation we need to make sure new file is created with the right label. New file is created in upper/ so effectively file should get label as if task had created file in upper/. We switched to mounter's creds for actual file creation. Also if there is a whiteout present, then file will be created in work/ dir first and then renamed in upper. In none of the cases file will be labeled as we want it to be. This patch introduces a new hook dentry_create_files_as(), which determines the label/context dentry will get if it had been created by task in upper and modify passed set of creds appropriately. Caller makes use of these new creds for file creation.

security,overlayfs: Provide security hook for copy up of xattrs for overlay file

2016-08-09T00:42:13Z

Provide a security hook which is called when xattrs of a file are being copied up. This hook is called once for each xattr and LSM can return 0 if the security module wants the xattr to be copied up, 1 if the security module wants the xattr to be discarded on the copy, -EOPNOTSUPP if the security module does not handle/manage the xattr, or a -errno upon an error.

security, overlayfs: provide copy up security hook for unioned files

2016-08-09T00:06:53Z

Provide a security hook to label new file correctly when a file is copied up from lower layer to upper layer of a overlay/union mount. This hook can prepare a new set of creds which are suitable for new file creation during copy up. Caller will use new creds to create file and then revert back to old creds and release new creds.

Pull qstr constification updates from Al Viro: "Fairly self-contained bunch - surprising lot of places passes struct qstr * as an argument when const struct qstr * would suffice; it complicates analysis for no good reason. I'd prefer to feed that separately from the assorted fixes (those are in #for-linus and with somewhat trickier topology)" * 'work.const-qstr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: qstr: constify instances in adfs qstr: constify instances in lustre qstr: constify instances in f2fs qstr: constify instances in ext2 qstr: constify instances in vfat qstr: constify instances in procfs qstr: constify instances in fuse qstr constify instances in fs/dcache.c qstr: constify instances in nfs qstr: constify instances in ocfs2 qstr: constify instances in autofs4 qstr: constify instances in hfs qstr: constify instances in hfsplus qstr: constify instances in logfs qstr: constify dentry_init_security

LSM: Fix for security_inode_getsecurity and -EOPNOTSUPP

2016-06-06T09:59:18Z

Serge Hallyn pointed out that the current implementation of security_inode_getsecurity() works if there is only one hook provided for it, but will fail if there is more than one and the attribute requested isn't supplied by the first module. This isn't a problem today, since only SELinux and Smack provide this hook and there is (currently) no way to enable both of those modules at the same time. Serge, however, wants to introduce a capability attribute and an inode_getsecurity hook in the capability security module to handle it. This addresses that upcoming problem, will be required for "extreme stacking" and is just a better implementation. Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler Acked-by: Serge Hallyn Signed-off-by: James Morris
