[ Upstream commit 2749749afa071f8a0e405605de9da615e771a7ce ]

In the `smk_set_cipso` function, the `skp-&gt;smk_netlabel.attr.mls.cat`
field is directly assigned to a new value without using the appropriate
RCU pointer assignment functions. According to RCU usage rules, this is
illegal and can lead to unpredictable behavior, including data
inconsistencies and impossible-to-diagnose memory corruption issues.

This possible bug was identified using a static analysis tool developed
by myself, specifically designed to detect RCU-related issues.

To address this, the assignment is now done using rcu_assign_pointer(),
which ensures that the pointer assignment is done safely, with the
necessary memory barriers and synchronization. This change prevents
potential RCU dereference issues by ensuring that the `cat` field is
safely updated while still adhering to RCU's requirements.

<title>smack: unix sockets: fix accept()ed socket label</title>

[ Upstream commit e86cac0acdb1a74f608bacefe702f2034133a047 ]

When a process accept()s connection from a unix socket
(either stream or seqpacket)
it gets the socket with the label of the connecting process.

For example, if a connecting process has a label 'foo',
the accept()ed socket will also have 'in' and 'out' labels 'foo',
regardless of the label of the listener process.

This is because kernel creates unix child sockets
in the context of the connecting process.

I do not see any obvious way for the listener to abuse
alien labels coming with the new socket, but,
to be on the safe side, it's better fix new socket labels.

<title>smack: tcp: ipv4, fix incorrect labeling</title>

[ Upstream commit 2fe209d0ad2e2729f7e22b9b31a86cc3ff0db550 ]

Currently, Smack mirrors the label of incoming tcp/ipv4 connections:
when a label 'foo' connects to a label 'bar' with tcp/ipv4,
'foo' always gets 'foo' in returned ipv4 packets. So,
1) returned packets are incorrectly labeled ('foo' instead of 'bar')
2) 'bar' can write to 'foo' without being authorized to write.

Here is a scenario how to see this:

* Take two machines, let's call them C and S,
   with active Smack in the default state
   (no settings, no rules, no labeled hosts, only builtin labels)

* At S, add Smack rule 'foo bar w'
   (labels 'foo' and 'bar' are instantiated at S at this moment)

* At S, at label 'bar', launch a program
   that listens for incoming tcp/ipv4 connections

* From C, at label 'foo', connect to the listener at S.
   (label 'foo' is instantiated at C at this moment)
   Connection succeedes and works.

* Send some data in both directions.
* Collect network traffic of this connection.

All packets in both directions are labeled with the CIPSO
of the label 'foo'. Hence, label 'bar' writes to 'foo' without
being authorized, and even without ever being known at C.

If anybody cares: exactly the same happens with DCCP.

This behavior 1st manifested in release 2.6.29.4 (see Fixes below)
and it looks unintentional. At least, no explanation was provided.

I changed returned packes label into the 'bar',
to bring it into line with the Smack documentation claims.

commit 76a0e79bc84f466999fa501fce5bf7a07641b8a7 upstream.

Marek Gresko reports that the root user on an NFS client is able to
change the security labels on files on an NFS filesystem that is
exported with root squashing enabled.

The end of the kerneldoc comment for __vfs_setxattr_noperm() states:

 *  This function requires the caller to lock the inode's i_mutex before it
 *  is executed. It also assumes that the caller will make the appropriate
 *  permission checks.

nfsd_setattr() does do permissions checking via fh_verify() and
nfsd_permission(), but those don't do all the same permissions checks
that are done by security_inode_setxattr() and its related LSM hooks do.

Since nfsd_setattr() is the only consumer of security_inode_setsecctx(),
simplest solution appears to be to replace the call to
__vfs_setxattr_noperm() with a call to __vfs_setxattr_locked().  This
fixes the above issue and has the added benefit of causing nfsd to
recall conflicting delegations on a file when a client tries to change
its security label.

Commit c7423dbdbc9e ("ima: Handle -ESTALE returned by
ima_filter_rule_match()") introduced call to ima_lsm_copy_rule within a
RCU read-side critical section which contains kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL.
This implies a possible sleep and violates limitations of RCU read-side
critical sections on non-PREEMPT systems.

Sleeping within RCU read-side critical section might cause
synchronize_rcu() returning early and break RCU protection, allowing a
UAF to happen.

The root cause of this issue could be described as follows:
|	Thread A	|	Thread B	|
|			|ima_match_policy	|
|			|  rcu_read_lock	|
|ima_lsm_update_rule	|			|
|  synchronize_rcu	|			|
|			|    kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)|
|			|      sleep		|
==&gt; synchronize_rcu returns early
|  kfree(entry)		|			|
|			|    entry = entry-&gt;next|
==&gt; UAF happens and entry now becomes NULL (or could be anything).
|			|    entry-&gt;action	|
==&gt; Accessing entry might cause panic.

To fix this issue, we are converting all kmalloc that is called within
RCU read-side critical section to use GFP_ATOMIC.

commit f1bb47a31dff6d4b34fb14e99850860ee74bb003 upstream.

Some ioctl commands do not require ioctl permission, but are routed to
other permissions such as FILE_GETATTR or FILE_SETATTR. This routing is
done by comparing the ioctl cmd to a set of 64-bit flags (FS_IOC_*).

However, if a 32-bit process is running on a 64-bit kernel, it emits
32-bit flags (FS_IOC32_*) for certain ioctl operations. These flags are
being checked erroneously, which leads to these ioctl operations being
routed to the ioctl permission, rather than the correct file
permissions.

This was also noted in a RED-PEN finding from a while back -
"/* RED-PEN how should LSM module know it's handling 32bit? */".

This patch introduces a new hook, security_file_ioctl_compat(), that is
called from the compat ioctl syscall. All current LSMs have been changed
to support this hook.

Reviewing the three places where we are currently using
security_file_ioctl(), it appears that only SELinux needs a dedicated
compat change; TOMOYO and SMACK appear to be functional without any
change.

Pull LSM updates from Paul Moore:

 - Add proper multi-LSM support for xattrs in the
   security_inode_init_security() hook

   Historically the LSM layer has only allowed a single LSM to add an
   xattr to an inode, with IMA/EVM measuring that and adding its own as
   well. As we work towards promoting IMA/EVM to a "proper LSM" instead
   of the special case that it is now, we need to better support the
   case of multiple LSMs each adding xattrs to an inode and after
   several attempts we now appear to have something that is working
   well. It is worth noting that in the process of making this change we
   uncovered a problem with Smack's SMACK64TRANSMUTE xattr which is also
   fixed in this pull request.

 - Additional LSM hook constification

   Two patches to constify parameters to security_capget() and
   security_binder_transfer_file(). While I generally don't make a
   special note of who submitted these patches, these were the work of
   an Outreachy intern, Khadija Kamran, and that makes me happy;
   hopefully it does the same for all of you reading this.

 - LSM hook comment header fixes

   One patch to add a missing hook comment header, one to fix a minor
   typo.

 - Remove an old, unused credential function declaration

   It wasn't clear to me who should pick this up, but it was trivial,
   obviously correct, and arguably the LSM layer has a vested interest
   in credentials so I merged it. Sadly I'm now noticing that despite my
   subject line cleanup I didn't cleanup the "unsued" misspelling, sigh
