apparmor: fix race between freeing data and fs accessing it

2026-03-13T16:26:04+00:00

commit 8e135b8aee5a06c52a4347a5a6d51223c6f36ba3 upstream. AppArmor was putting the reference to i_private data on its end after removing the original entry from the file system. However the inode can aand does live beyond that point and it is possible that some of the fs call back functions will be invoked after the reference has been put, which results in a race between freeing the data and accessing it through the fs. While the rawdata/loaddata is the most likely candidate to fail the race, as it has the fewest references. If properly crafted it might be possible to trigger a race for the other types stored in i_private. Fix this by moving the put of i_private referenced data to the correct place which is during inode eviction.

apparmor: transition from a list of rules to a vector of rules

2025-07-20T09:31:06+00:00

The set of rules on a profile is not dynamically extended, instead if a new ruleset is needed a new version of the profile is created. This allows us to use a vector of rules instead of a list, slightly reducing memory usage and simplifying the code. Signed-off-by: John Johansen

apparmor: make sure unix socket labeling is correctly updated.

2025-07-20T09:19:27+00:00

When a unix socket is passed into a different confinement domain make sure its cached mediation labeling is updated to correctly reflect which domains are using the socket. Fixes: c05e705812d1 ("apparmor: add fine grained af_unix mediation") Signed-off-by: John Johansen

apparmor: carry mediation check on label

2025-01-18T14:47:12+00:00

In order to speed up the mediated check, precompute and store the result as a bit per class type. This will not only allow us to speed up the mediation check but is also a step to removing the unconfined special cases as the unconfined check can be replaced with the generic label_mediates() check. Note: label check does not currently work for capabilities and resources which need to have their mediation updated first. Signed-off-by: John Johansen

parser: drop dead code for XXX_comb macros

2024-11-27T03:21:06+00:00

The macros for label combination XXX_comb are no longer used and there are no plans to use them so remove the dead code. Signed-off-by: John Johansen

apparmor: Remove unused parameter L1 in macro next_comb

2024-11-27T03:21:06+00:00

In the macro definition of next_comb(), a parameter L1 is accepted, but it is not used. Hence, it should be removed. Signed-off-by: Jinjie Ruan Signed-off-by: John Johansen

apparmor: Remove deadcode

2024-11-27T03:21:05+00:00

aa_label_audit, aa_label_find, aa_label_seq_print and aa_update_label_name were added by commit f1bd904175e8 ("apparmor: add the base fns() for domain labels") but never used. aa_profile_label_perm was added by commit 637f688dc3dc ("apparmor: switch from profiles to using labels on contexts") but never used. aa_secid_update was added by commit c092921219d2 ("apparmor: add support for mapping secids and using secctxes") but never used. aa_split_fqname has been unused since commit 3664268f19ea ("apparmor: add namespace lookup fns()") aa_lookup_profile has been unused since commit 93c98a484c49 ("apparmor: move exec domain mediation to using labels") aa_audit_perms_cb was only used by aa_profile_label_perm (see above). All of these commits are from around 2017. Remove them. Signed-off-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert Signed-off-by: John Johansen

apparmor: refactor profile rules and attachments

2022-10-03T21:49:04+00:00

In preparation for moving from a single set of rules and a single attachment to multiple rulesets and attachments separate from the profile refactor attachment information and ruleset info into their own structures. Signed-off-by: John Johansen

apparmor: preparse for state being more than just an integer

2022-10-03T21:49:03+00:00

Convert from an unsigned int to a state_t for state position. This is a step in prepping for the state position carrying some additional flags, and a limited form of backtracking to support variables. Signed-off-by: John Johansen

apparmor: allow label to carry debug flags

2022-07-19T09:55:45+00:00

Allow labels to have debug flags that can be used to trigger debug output only from profiles/labels that are marked. This can help reduce debug output by allowing debug to be target to a specific confinement condition. Signed-off-by: John Johansen
