apparmor: fix race between freeing data and fs accessing it

2026-04-18T08:35:57+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") 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 regression in stacking due to label flags

2022-12-31T12:32:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1f939c6bd1512d0b39b470396740added3cb403f ] The unconfined label flag is not being computed correctly. It should only be set if all the profiles in the vector are set, which is different than what is required for the debug and stale flag that are set if any on the profile flags are set.

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

apparmor: fix absroot causing audited secids to begin with =

2022-07-09T22:13:58+00:00

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.

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version, in order to avoid any potential type mistakes or integer overflows that, in the worse scenario, could lead to heap overflows.
