selinux: check connect-related permissions on TCP Fast Open

2026-07-24T13:55:00+00:00

commit 44c74d27d1b9aaa99fa8a83640c1223575262b80 upstream. Similar to Landlock, SELinux was not updated when TCP Fast Open support was introduced to ensure connect-related permissions are checked when using TCP Fast Open. Update its socket_sendmsg() hook to call selinux_socket_connect() when MSG_FASTOPEN is passed.

apparmor: put secmark label after secid lookup

[ 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: aa_getprocattr free procattr leak on format failure

[ Upstream commit fea23bf73f0cae8ccb1d0684e4a3003874771f41 ] aa_getprocattr() allocates the output string before rendering the label into it. If the second aa_label_snxprint() call fails, the function returned without freeing that allocation. Free and clear the output pointer on the uncommon formatting failure path before dropping the namespace reference.

[ Upstream commit 7b42f95813dc9ceb6bda35afcf914630909a19f9 ] The function aa_replace_profiles was accessing udata->size after calling aa_put_loaddata(udata), causing a potential UAF.

apparmor: grab ns lock and refresh when looking up changehat child profiles

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

[ Upstream commit 32e92764d6f8d251c1bca62be33793287b453a81 ] There was a race condition involving change_hat and profile replacement in which replacement of the parent profile during a changehat operation could result in the list of children becoming empty and the changehat operation failing. To prevent this: - grab the namespace lock until we've built the hat transition, and - use aa_get_newest_profile to avoid using stale profile objects.

apparmor: aa_label_alloc use aa_label_free on alloc failure

[ Upstream commit 654fe7505dc6889724d4094fa64f89991afabfc3 ] aa_label_alloc() allocates a secid before allocating or taking the label proxy. If the later proxy step fails, the error path only freed the label memory, leaking any resources initialized by aa_label_init(). Use aa_label_free() on the failure path so partially initialized labels release their secid and other label resources before the backing memory is freed.

apparmor: check label build before no_new_privs test

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

[ Upstream commit a58cafd38b46fb1a2220e2fbbcfe291ea75fa147 ] aa_change_profile() builds a replacement label with fn_label_build_in_scope() before the no_new_privs subset check. The build helper can fail and return NULL or an ERR_PTR, but the result was passed to aa_label_is_unconfined_subset() before the existing IS_ERR_OR_NULL() check. Reuse the existing target-label build failure handling immediately after the build. This preserves the current audit handling while preventing the subset helper from dereferencing an invalid label.

KEYS: Use acquire when reading state in keyring search

2026-07-24T13:54:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit c1201b37f666f6466ab1fd3a381c2b7a4b7e9fee ] The negative-key race fix added release/acquire ordering for key use. Publish payload before state; read state before payload. keyring_search_iterator() still uses READ_ONCE() before match callbacks. An asymmetric match callback calls asymmetric_key_ids(), which reads key->payload.data[asym_key_ids]. Use key_read_state() there to complete that ordering.
