apparmor: fix NULL sock in aa_sock_file_perm

2026-02-26T22:59:41+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: 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: fix af_unix auditing to include all address information

2025-07-16T05:39:43+00:00

The auditing of addresses currently doesn't include the source address and mixes source and foreign/peer under the same audit name. Fix this so source is always addr, and the foreign/peer is peer_addr. Fixes: c05e705812d1 ("apparmor: add fine grained af_unix mediation") Signed-off-by: John Johansen

apparmor: Remove use of the double lock

2025-07-16T05:39:43+00:00

The use of the double lock is not necessary and problematic. Instead pull the bits that need locks into their own sections and grab the needed references. Fixes: c05e705812d1 ("apparmor: add fine grained af_unix mediation") Signed-off-by: John Johansen

apparmor: add fine grained af_unix mediation

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

Extend af_unix mediation to support fine grained controls based on the type (abstract, anonymous, fs), the address, and the labeling on the socket. This allows for using socket addresses to label and the socket and control which subjects can communicate. The unix rule format follows standard apparmor rules except that fs based unix sockets can be mediated by existing file rules. None fs unix sockets can be mediated by a unix socket rule. Where The address of an abstract unix domain socket begins with the @ character, similar to how they are reported (as paths) by netstat -x. The address then follows and may contain pattern matching and any characters including the null character. In apparmor null characters must be specified by using an escape sequence \000 or \x00. The pattern matching is the same as is used by file path matching so * will not match / even though it has no special meaning with in an abstract socket name. Eg. allow unix addr=@*, Autobound unix domain sockets have a unix sun_path assigned to them by the kernel, as such specifying a policy based address is not possible. The autobinding of sockets can be controlled by specifying the special auto keyword. Eg. allow unix addr=auto, To indicate that the rule only applies to auto binding of unix domain sockets. It is important to note this only applies to the bind permission as once the socket is bound to an address it is indistinguishable from a socket that have an addr bound with a specified name. When the auto keyword is used with other permissions or as part of a peer addr it will be replaced with a pattern that can match an autobound socket. Eg. For some kernels allow unix rw addr=auto, It is important to note, this pattern may match abstract sockets that were not autobound but have an addr that fits what is generated by the kernel when autobinding a socket. Anonymous unix domain sockets have no sun_path associated with the socket address, however it can be specified with the special none keyword to indicate the rule only applies to anonymous unix domain sockets. Eg. allow unix addr=none, If the address component of a rule is not specified then the rule applies to autobind, abstract and anonymous sockets. The label on the socket can be compared using the standard label= rule conditional. Eg. allow unix addr=@foo peer=(label=bar), see man apparmor.d for full syntax description.

apparmor: in preparation for finer networking rules rework match_prot

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

Rework match_prot into a common fn that can be shared by all the networking rules. This will provide compatibility with current socket mediation, via the early bailout permission encoding. Signed-off-by: John Johansen

apparmor: remove redundant unconfined check.

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

profile_af_perm and profile_af_sk_perm are only ever called after checking that the profile is not unconfined. So we can drop these redundant checks. Signed-off-by: John Johansen

Move management of the sock->sk_security blob out of the individual security modules and into the security infrastructure. Instead of allocating the blobs from within the modules the modules tell the infrastructure how much space is required, and the space is allocated there.

apparmor: refcount the pdb

2023-10-18T22:30:47+00:00

With the move to permission tables the dfa is no longer a stand alone entity when used, needing a minimum of a permission table. However it still could be shared among different pdbs each using a different permission table. Instead of duping the permission table when sharing a pdb, add a refcount to the pdb so it can be easily shared. Reviewed-by: Georgia Garcia Signed-off-by: John Johansen
