capabilities: fix potential memleak on error path from vfs_getxattr_alloc()

2022-11-10T16:46:55+00:00

commit 8cf0a1bc12870d148ae830a4ba88cfdf0e879cee upstream. In cap_inode_getsecurity(), we will use vfs_getxattr_alloc() to complete the memory allocation of tmpbuf, if we have completed the memory allocation of tmpbuf, but failed to call handler->get(...), there will be a memleak in below logic: |-- ret = (int)vfs_getxattr_alloc(mnt_userns, ...) | /* ^^^ alloc for tmpbuf */ |-- value = krealloc(*xattr_value, error + 1, flags) | /* ^^^ alloc memory */ |-- error = handler->get(handler, ...) | /* error! */ |-- *xattr_value = value | /* xattr_value is &tmpbuf (memory leak!) */ So we will try to free(tmpbuf) after vfs_getxattr_alloc() fails to fix it.

security: commoncap: fix -Wstringop-overread warning

2021-05-22T08:59:21+00:00

commit 82e5d8cc768b0c7b03c551a9ab1f8f3f68d5f83f upstream. gcc-11 introdces a harmless warning for cap_inode_getsecurity: security/commoncap.c: In function ‘cap_inode_getsecurity’: security/commoncap.c:440:33: error: ‘memcpy’ reading 16 bytes from a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread] 440 | memcpy(&nscap->data, &cap->data, sizeof(__le32) * 2 * VFS_CAP_U32); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The problem here is that tmpbuf is initialized to NULL, so gcc assumes it is not accessible unless it gets set by vfs_getxattr_alloc(). This is a legitimate warning as far as I can tell, but the code is correct since it correctly handles the error when that function fails. Add a separate NULL check to tell gcc about it as well.

Revert 95ebabde382c ("capabilities: Don't allow writing ambiguous v3 file capabilities")

commit 3b0c2d3eaa83da259d7726192cf55a137769012f upstream. It turns out that there are in fact userspace implementations that care and this recent change caused a regression. https://github.com/containers/buildah/issues/3071 As the motivation for the original change was future development, and the impact is existing real world code just revert this change and allow the ambiguity in v3 file caps.

capabilities: Don't allow writing ambiguous v3 file capabilities

2021-03-04T08:39:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit 95ebabde382c371572297915b104e55403674e73 ] The v3 file capabilities have a uid field that records the filesystem uid of the root user of the user namespace the file capabilities are valid in. When someone is silly enough to have the same underlying uid as the root uid of multiple nested containers a v3 filesystem capability can be ambiguous. In the spirit of don't do that then, forbid writing a v3 filesystem capability if it is ambiguous. Fixes: 8db6c34f1dbc ("Introduce v3 namespaced file capabilities") Reviewed-by: Andrew G.

cap: fix conversions on getxattr

2021-02-23T14:00:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit f2b00be488730522d0fb7a8a5de663febdcefe0a ] If a capability is stored on disk in v2 format cap_inode_getsecurity() will currently return in v2 format unconditionally. This is wrong: v2 cap should be equivalent to a v3 cap with zero rootid, and so the same conversions performed on it. If the rootid cannot be mapped, v3 is returned unconverted. Fix this so that both v2 and v3 return -EOVERFLOW if the rootid (or the owner of the fs user namespace in case of v2) cannot be mapped into the current user namespace.

exec: Always set cap_ambient in cap_bprm_set_creds

2020-06-03T06:19:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit a4ae32c71fe90794127b32d26d7ad795813b502e ] An invariant of cap_bprm_set_creds is that every field in the new cred structure that cap_bprm_set_creds might set, needs to be set every time to ensure the fields does not get a stale value. The field cap_ambient is not set every time cap_bprm_set_creds is called, which means that if there is a suid or sgid script with an interpreter that has neither the suid nor the sgid bits set the interpreter should be able to accept ambient credentials. Unfortuantely because cap_ambient is not reset to it's original value the interpreter can not accept ambient credentials. Given that the ambient capability set is expected to be controlled by the caller, I don't think this is particularly serious. But it is definitely worth fixing so the code works correctly. I have tested to verify my reading of the code is correct and the interpreter of a sgid can receive ambient capabilities with this change and cannot receive ambient capabilities without this change.

LSM: generalize flag passing to security_capable

2020-01-23T07:21:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit c1a85a00ea66cb6f0bd0f14e47c28c2b0999799f ] This patch provides a general mechanism for passing flags to the security_capable LSM hook. It replaces the specific 'audit' flag that is used to tell security_capable whether it should log an audit message for the given capability check. The reason for generalizing this flag passing is so we can add an additional flag that signifies whether security_capable is being called by a setid syscall (which is needed by the proposed SafeSetID LSM).

cap_inode_getsecurity: use d_find_any_alias() instead of d_find_alias()

2018-08-11T07:05:53+00:00

The code in cap_inode_getsecurity(), introduced by commit 8db6c34f1dbc ("Introduce v3 namespaced file capabilities"), should use d_find_any_alias() instead of d_find_alias() do handle unhashed dentry correctly. This is needed, for example, if execveat() is called with an open but unlinked overlayfs file, because overlayfs unhashes dentry on unlink. This is a regression of real life application, first reported at https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-unionfs/msg05363.html Below reproducer and setup can reproduce the case. const char* exec="echo"; const char *newargv[] = { "echo", "hello", NULL}; const char *newenviron[] = { NULL }; int fd, err; fd = open(exec, O_PATH); unlink(exec); err = syscall(322/*SYS_execveat*/, fd, "", newargv, newenviron, AT_EMPTY_PATH); if(err<0) fprintf(stderr, "execveat: %s\n", strerror(errno)); gcc compile into ~/test/a.out mount -t overlay -orw,lowerdir=/mnt/l,upperdir=/mnt/u,workdir=/mnt/w none /mnt/m cd /mnt/m cp /bin/echo . ~/test/a.out Expected result: hello Actually result: execveat: Invalid argument dmesg: Invalid argument reading file caps for /dev/fd/3 The 2nd reproducer and setup emulates similar case but for regular filesystem: const char* exec="echo"; int fd, err; char buf[256]; fd = open(exec, O_RDONLY); unlink(exec); err = fgetxattr(fd, "security.capability", buf, 256); if(err<0) fprintf(stderr, "fgetxattr: %s\n", strerror(errno)); gcc compile into ~/test_fgetxattr cd /tmp cp /bin/echo . ~/test_fgetxattr Result: fgetxattr: Invalid argument On regular filesystem, for example, ext4 read xattr from disk and return to execveat(), will not trigger this issue, however, the overlay attr handler pass real dentry to vfs_getxattr() will. This reproducer calls fgetxattr() with an unlinked fd, involkes vfs_getxattr() then reproduced the case that d_find_alias() in cap_inode_getsecurity() can't find the unlinked dentry.

capabilities: Allow privileged user in s_user_ns to set security.* xattrs

2018-05-24T17:03:31+00:00

A privileged user in s_user_ns will generally have the ability to manipulate the backing store and insert security.* xattrs into the filesystem directly. Therefore the kernel must be prepared to handle these xattrs from unprivileged mounts, and it makes little sense for commoncap to prevent writing these xattrs to the filesystem. The capability and LSM code have already been updated to appropriately handle xattrs from unprivileged mounts, so it is safe to loosen this restriction on setting xattrs. The exception to this logic is that writing xattrs to a mounted filesystem may also cause the LSM inode_post_setxattr or inode_setsecurity callbacks to be invoked. SELinux will deny the xattr update by virtue of applying mountpoint labeling to unprivileged userns mounts, and Smack will deny the writes for any user without global CAP_MAC_ADMIN, so loosening the capability check in commoncap is safe in this respect as well.
