<content type='text'>
commit 15383a0d63dbcd63dc7e8d9ec1bf3a0f7ebf64ac upstream.

Some fixes may require user space to check if they are applied on the
running kernel before using a specific feature.  For instance, this
applies when a restriction was previously too restrictive and is now
getting relaxed (e.g. for compatibility reasons).  However, non-visible
changes for legitimate use (e.g. security fixes) do not require an
erratum.

Because fixes are backported down to a specific Landlock ABI, we need a
way to avoid cherry-pick conflicts.  The solution is to only update a
file related to the lower ABI impacted by this issue.  All the ABI files
are then used to create a bitmask of fixes.

The new errata interface is similar to the one used to get the supported
Landlock ABI version, but it returns a bitmask instead because the order
of fixes may not match the order of versions, and not all fixes may
apply to all versions.

The actual errata will come with dedicated commits.  The description is
not actually used in the code but serves as documentation.

Create the landlock_abi_version symbol and use its value to check errata
consistency.

Update test_base's create_ruleset_checks_ordering tests and add errata
tests.

This commit is backportable down to the first version of Landlock.

A corrupted filesystem (e.g. bcachefs) might return weird files.
Instead of throwing a warning and allowing access to such file, treat
them as regular files.

commit 39705a6c29f8a2b93cf5b99528a55366c50014d1 upstream.

When a process' cred struct is replaced, this _almost_ always invokes
the cred_prepare LSM hook; but in one special case (when
KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT updates the parent's credentials), the
cred_transfer LSM hook is used instead.  Landlock only implements the
cred_prepare hook, not cred_transfer, so KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT causes
all information on Landlock restrictions to be lost.

This basically means that a process with the ability to use the fork()
and keyctl() syscalls can get rid of all Landlock restrictions on
itself.

Fix it by adding a cred_transfer hook that does the same thing as the
existing cred_prepare hook. (Implemented by having hook_cred_prepare()
call hook_cred_transfer() so that the two functions are less likely to
accidentally diverge in the future.)

Because sandboxing can be used as an opportunistic security measure,
user space may not log unsupported features.  Let the system
administrator know if an application tries to use Landlock but failed
because it isn't enabled at boot time.  This may be caused by boot
loader configurations with outdated "lsm" kernel's command-line
parameter.

<title>landlock: Fix same-layer rule unions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f55f9e7ce63bbc92efd83134d5876bdcd16f725f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8ba0005ff418ec356e176b26eaa04a6ac755d05b upstream.

The original behavior was to check if the full set of requested accesses
was allowed by at least a rule of every relevant layer.  This didn't
take into account requests for multiple accesses and same-layer rules
allowing the union of these accesses in a complementary way.  As a
result, multiple accesses requested on a file hierarchy matching rules
that, together, allowed these accesses, but without a unique rule
allowing all of them, was illegitimately denied.  This case should be
rare in practice and it can only be triggered by the path_rename or
file_open hook implementations.

For instance, if, for the same layer, a rule allows execution
beneath /a/b and another rule allows read beneath /a, requesting access
to read and execute at the same time for /a/b should be allowed for this
layer.

This was an inconsistency because the union of same-layer rule accesses
was already allowed if requested once at a time anyway.

This fix changes the way allowed accesses are gathered over a path walk.
To take into account all these rule accesses, we store in a matrix all
layer granting the set of requested accesses, according to the handled
accesses.  To avoid heap allocation, we use an array on the stack which
is 2*13 bytes.  A following commit bringing the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER
access right will increase this size to reach 112 bytes (2*14*4) in case
of link or rename actions.

Add a new layout1.layer_rule_unions test to check that accesses from
different rules pertaining to the same layer are ORed in a file
hierarchy.  Also test that it is not the case for rules from different
layers.

commit 75c542d6c6cc48720376862d5496d51509160dfd upstream.

The maximum number of nested Landlock domains is currently 64.  Because
of the following fix and to help reduce the stack size, let's reduce it
to 16.  This seems large enough for a lot of use cases (e.g. sandboxed
init service, spawning a sandboxed SSH service, in nested sandboxed
containers).  Reducing the number of nested domains may also help to
discover misuse of Landlock (e.g. creating a domain per rule).

Add and use a dedicated layer_mask_t typedef to fit with the number of
layers.  This might be useful when changing it and to keep it consistent
with the maximum number of layers.

commit eba39ca4b155c54adf471a69e91799cc1727873f upstream.

According to the Landlock goal to be a security feature available to
unprivileges processes, it makes more sense to first check for
no_new_privs before checking anything else (i.e. syscall arguments).

Merge inval_fd_enforce and unpriv_enforce_without_no_new_privs tests
into the new restrict_self_checks_ordering.  This is similar to the
previous commit checking other syscalls.
