apparmor: put secmark label after secid lookup

2026-07-24T13:54:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit 340372688bb87da45ff8d4e2f82ccfd1b64c65ff ] apparmor_secmark_init() parses a configured secmark label to obtain its secid. aa_label_strn_parse() returns a refcounted label, but the success path kept that reference after copying the secid.

apparmor: advertise the tcp fast open fix is applied

2026-07-24T13:54:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2f6701a5ce6257ae7a64ddc6d89d0a08d2a034f8 ] The fix for tcp-fast-open ensures that the connect permission is being mediated correctly but it didn't add an artifact to the feature set to advertise the fix is available. Add an artifact so that the test suite can identify if the fix has not been properly applied or a new unexpected regression has occurred.

apparmor: fix NULL sock in aa_sock_file_perm

2026-03-04T12:20:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit 00b67657535dfea56e84d11492f5c0f61d0af297 ] Deal with the potential that sock and sock-sk can be NULL during socket setup or teardown. This could lead to an oops. The fix for NULL pointer dereference in __unix_needs_revalidation shows this is at least possible for af_unix sockets. While the fix for af_unix sockets applies for newer mediation this is still the fall back path for older af_unix mediation and other sockets, so ensure it is covered.

apparmor: add a kernel label to use on kernel objects

2022-07-13T23:37:21+00:00

Separate kernel objects from unconfined. This is done so we can distinguish between the two in debugging, auditing and in preparation for being able to replace unconfined, which is not appropriate for the kernel. The kernel label will continue to behave similar to unconfined. Acked-by: Jon Tourville Signed-off-by: John Johansen

security: add const qualifier to struct sock in various places

2020-12-03T20:56:03+00:00

A followup change to tcp_request_sock_op would have to drop the 'const' qualifier from the 'route_req' function as the 'security_inet_conn_request' call is moved there - and that function expects a 'struct sock *'. However, it turns out its also possible to add a const qualifier to security_inet_conn_request instead. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Acked-by: James Morris Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

audit: purge audit_log_string from the intra-kernel audit API

2020-07-21T15:12:31+00:00

audit_log_string() was inteded to be an internal audit function and since there are only two internal uses, remove them. Purge all external uses of it by restructuring code to use an existing audit_log_format() or using audit_log_format().

apparmor: add #ifdef checks for secmark filtering

2018-10-13T00:09:56+00:00

The newly added code fails to build when either SECMARK or NETFILTER are disabled: security/apparmor/lsm.c: In function 'apparmor_socket_sock_rcv_skb': security/apparmor/lsm.c:1138:12: error: 'struct sk_buff' has no member named 'secmark'; did you mean 'mark'? security/apparmor/lsm.c:1671:21: error: 'struct nf_hook_state' declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration [-Werror] Add a set of #ifdef checks around it to only enable the code that we can compile and that makes sense in that configuration.

apparmor: Fix network performance issue in aa_label_sk_perm

2018-09-07T16:33:52+00:00

The netperf benchmark shows a 5.73% reduction in throughput for small (64 byte) transfers by unconfined tasks. DEFINE_AUDIT_SK() in aa_label_sk_perm() should not be performed unconditionally, rather only when the label is confined. netperf-tcp 56974a6fc^ 56974a6fc Min 64 563.48 ( 0.00%) 531.17 ( -5.73%) Min 128 1056.92 ( 0.00%) 999.44 ( -5.44%) Min 256 1945.95 ( 0.00%) 1867.97 ( -4.01%) Min 1024 6761.40 ( 0.00%) 6364.23 ( -5.87%) Min 2048 11110.53 ( 0.00%) 10606.20 ( -4.54%) Min 3312 13692.67 ( 0.00%) 13158.41 ( -3.90%) Min 4096 14926.29 ( 0.00%) 14457.46 ( -3.14%) Min 8192 18399.34 ( 0.00%) 18091.65 ( -1.67%) Min 16384 21384.13 ( 0.00%) 21158.05 ( -1.06%) Hmean 64 564.96 ( 0.00%) 534.38 ( -5.41%) Hmean 128 1064.42 ( 0.00%) 1010.12 ( -5.10%) Hmean 256 1965.85 ( 0.00%) 1879.16 ( -4.41%) Hmean 1024 6839.77 ( 0.00%) 6478.70 ( -5.28%) Hmean 2048 11154.80 ( 0.00%) 10671.13 ( -4.34%) Hmean 3312 13838.12 ( 0.00%) 13249.01 ( -4.26%) Hmean 4096 15009.99 ( 0.00%) 14561.36 ( -2.99%) Hmean 8192 18975.57 ( 0.00%) 18326.54 ( -3.42%) Hmean 16384 21440.44 ( 0.00%) 21324.59 ( -0.54%) Stddev 64 1.24 ( 0.00%) 2.85 (-130.64%) Stddev 128 4.51 ( 0.00%) 6.53 ( -44.84%) Stddev 256 11.67 ( 0.00%) 8.50 ( 27.16%) Stddev 1024 48.33 ( 0.00%) 75.07 ( -55.34%) Stddev 2048 54.82 ( 0.00%) 65.16 ( -18.86%) Stddev 3312 153.57 ( 0.00%) 56.29 ( 63.35%) Stddev 4096 100.25 ( 0.00%) 88.50 ( 11.72%) Stddev 8192 358.13 ( 0.00%) 169.99 ( 52.54%) Stddev 16384 43.99 ( 0.00%) 141.82 (-222.39%) Signed-off-by: Tony Jones Fixes: 56974a6fcfef ("apparmor: add base infastructure for socket mediation") Signed-off-by: John Johansen
