apparmor: aa_label_alloc use aa_label_free on alloc failure

2026-07-24T13:51:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 654fe7505dc6889724d4094fa64f89991afabfc3 ] aa_label_alloc() allocates a secid before allocating or taking the label proxy. If the later proxy step fails, the error path only freed the label memory, leaking any resources initialized by aa_label_init(). Use aa_label_free() on the failure path so partially initialized labels release their secid and other label resources before the backing memory is freed.

apparmor: fix race between freeing data and fs accessing it

2026-04-18T08:33:36+00:00

commit 8e135b8aee5a06c52a4347a5a6d51223c6f36ba3 upstream. Backport for conflicts introdued by - conversion from sha1 to sha256 introduced in e44a4dc4b36c ("apparmor: switch SECURITY_APPARMOR_HASH from sha1 to sha256 ") - adding of conditioanl that nests the conflicting code inside an if condition d61c57fde819 ("apparmor: make export of raw binary profile to userspace optional") 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 and 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: fix absroot causing audited secids to begin with =

2022-08-25T09:39:59+00:00

commit 511f7b5b835726e844a5fc7444c18e4b8672edfd upstream. AppArmor is prefixing secids that are converted to secctx with the = to indicate the secctx should only be parsed from an absolute root POV. This allows catching errors where secctx are reparsed back into internal labels. Unfortunately because audit is using secid to secctx conversion this means that subject and object labels can result in a very unfortunate == that can break audit parsing. eg. the subj==unconfined term in the below audit message type=USER_LOGIN msg=audit(1639443365.233:160): pid=1633 uid=0 auid=1000 ses=3 subj==unconfined msg='op=login id=1000 exe="/usr/sbin/sshd" hostname=192.168.122.1 addr=192.168.122.1 terminal=/dev/pts/1 res=success' Fix this by switch the prepending of = to a _. This still works as a special character to flag this case without breaking audit. Also move this check behind debug as it should not be needed during normal operqation.

apparmor: Fix memory leak of profile proxy

apparmor: fix introspection of of task mode for unconfined tasks

2020-06-07T20:38:55+00:00

Fix two issues with introspecting the task mode. 1. If a task is attached to a unconfined profile that is not the ns->unconfined profile then. Mode the mode is always reported as - $ ps -Z LABEL PID TTY TIME CMD unconfined 1287 pts/0 00:00:01 bash test (-) 1892 pts/0 00:00:00 ps instead of the correct value of (unconfined) as shown below $ ps -Z LABEL PID TTY TIME CMD unconfined 2483 pts/0 00:00:01 bash test (unconfined) 3591 pts/0 00:00:00 ps 2. if a task is confined by a stack of profiles that are unconfined the output of label mode is again the incorrect value of (-) like above, instead of (unconfined). This is because the visibile profile count increment is skipped by the special casing of unconfined.
