340372688b apparmor: put secmark label after secid lookup
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.

fea23bf73f apparmor: aa_getprocattr free procattr leak on format failure
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.

7306c41672 apparmor: release exe file resources on path failure
get_current_exe_path() takes both an exe_file reference and a path
reference before resolving the path name. If aa_path_name() failed, it
returned immediately and leaked both references.

Route the failure through the common cleanup path so fput() and path_put()
always run after the references are acquired.

45cf568241 apparmor: fail policy unpack on accept2 allocation failure
unpack_pdb() may need to allocate a missing ACCEPT2 table for older policy

Return -ENOMEM through the normal failure path when the ACCEPT2 allocation
fails. Remove the now-unused out label.

59fe6fbc4c apparmor: remove or add symlinks to rawdata according to export_binary
When the export_binary parameter is set, then rawdata is available and
there should be a symbolic link for the rawdata in the profile
directory in apparmorfs. If the parameter is unset, then the symlinks
should not exist.

The issue arises when changing the value of export_binary on runtime
and replacing profiles. If export_binary was set when the profile was
originally loaded, then changed to 0 and the profile was reloaded,
then the symbolic links would still exist but would return ENOENT
because the rawdata no longer exists.

On the opposite side, if export_binary was unset when the profile was
originally loaded, then changed to 1 and the profile was reloaded,
then the symbolic links would not exist, even though the rawdata does.

716d384ac7 apparmor: make fn_label_build() capable of handling not supported
Currently fn_label_build() callback fns must provide a transition or
failure. Change this so that a callback can indicate it should be
skipped/not be involved in the label being built.

This will be useful when building object labels based on mediation
flags, as to whether the label should be set.

Existing callers can keep treating NULL return as an error because
none of those callback fns support skipping, but instead of the old
error handling replace with AA_BUG.

32e92764d6 apparmor: grab ns lock and refresh when looking up changehat child profiles
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.

This is masked by `aa_dfa_unpack` which interprets NULL as a -EPROTO,
leading to confusing error messages in `apparmor_parser` [1].

654fe7505d apparmor: aa_label_alloc use aa_label_free on alloc failure
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.

a58cafd38b apparmor: check label build before no_new_privs test
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.

b1aea2c196 apparmor: fix race in unix socket mediation when peer_path is used
The holding a reference to the peer_sk is not enough to ensure access
to the peer sk path. Accessing the path outside of the state lock
allows for a race with unix_release_sock(). Fix this by taking the
state lock and getting a reference to the path under lock.

Ideally for connected sockets we would cache this information so we
don't have to take the lock here. But for now just fix the race.

ef78fdc472 apparmor: Fix wrong dentry in RENAME_EXCHANGE uid check
In apparmor_path_rename(), when handling RENAME_EXCHANGE, the
cond_exchange structure is supposed to carry the attributes of the
*new* dentry (since it is used to authorize moving new_dentry to the
old location). However, line 412 reads:

    vfsuid = i_uid_into_vfsuid(idmap, d_backing_inode(old_dentry));

This fetches the uid of old_dentry instead of new_dentry. As a result,
the RENAME_EXCHANGE permission check uses the wrong file owner, which
can allow a rename that should be denied (if old_dentry's owner has
more privileges) or deny one that should be allowed.

Note that cond_exchange.mode on the line above correctly uses
new_dentry. Only the uid lookup is wrong.

Fix by changing old_dentry to new_dentry in the i_uid_into_vfsuid call.

Pull vfs i_ino updates from Christian Brauner:
 "For historical reasons, the inode->i_ino field is an unsigned long,
  which means that it's 32 bits on 32 bit architectures. This has caused
  a number of filesystems to implement hacks to hash a 64-bit identifier
  into a 32-bit field, and deprives us of a universal identifier field
  for an inode.

  This changes the inode->i_ino field from an unsigned long to a u64.
  This shouldn't make any material difference on 64-bit hosts, but
  32-bit hosts will see struct inode grow by at least 4 bytes. This
  could have effects on slabcache sizes and field alignment.

  The bulk of the changes are to format strings and tracepoints, since
  the kernel itself doesn't care that much about the i_ino field. The
  first patch changes some vfs function arguments, so check that one out
  carefully.

  With this change, we may be able to shrink some inode structures. For
  instance, struct nfs_inode has a fileid field that holds the 64-bit
  inode number. With this set of changes, that field could be
  eliminated. I'd rather leave that sort of cleanups for later just to
  keep this simple"

8e135b8aee apparmor: fix race between freeing data and fs accessing it
AppArmor was putting the reference to i_private data on its end after
removing the original entry from the file system. However the inode
can aand does live beyond that point and it is possible that some of
the fs call back functions will be invoked after the reference has
been put, which results in a race between freeing the data and
accessing it through the fs.

While the rawdata/loaddata is the most likely candidate to fail the
race, as it has the fewest references. If properly crafted it might be
possible to trigger a race for the other types stored in i_private.

Fix this by moving the put of i_private referenced data to the correct
place which is during inode eviction.

a0b7091c4d apparmor: fix race on rawdata dereference
There is a race condition that leads to a use-after-free situation:
because the rawdata inodes are not refcounted, an attacker can start
open()ing one of the rawdata files, and at the same time remove the
last reference to this rawdata (by removing the corresponding profile,
for example), which frees its struct aa_loaddata; as a result, when
seq_rawdata_open() is reached, i_private is a dangling pointer and
freed memory is accessed.

The rawdata inodes weren't refcounted to avoid a circular refcount and
were supposed to be held by the profile rawdata reference.  However
during profile removal there is a window where the vfs and profile
destruction race, resulting in the use after free.

Fix this by moving to a double refcount scheme. Where the profile
refcount on rawdata is used to break the circular dependency. Allowing
for freeing of the rawdata once all inode references to the rawdata
are put.

39440b1375 apparmor: fix differential encoding verification
Differential encoding allows loops to be created if it is abused. To
prevent this the unpack should verify that a diff-encode chain
terminates.

Unfortunately the differential encode verification had two bugs.

1. it conflated states that had gone through check and already been
   marked, with states that were currently being checked and marked.
   This means that loops in the current chain being verified are treated
   as a chain that has already been verified.

2. the order bailout on already checked states compared current chain
   check iterators j,k instead of using the outer loop iterator i.
   Meaning a step backwards in states in the current chain verification
   was being mistaken for moving to an already verified state.

Move to a double mark scheme where already verified states get a
different mark, than the current chain being kept. This enables us
to also drop the backwards verification check that was the cause of
the second error as any already verified state is already marked.

6601e13e82 apparmor: fix unprivileged local user can do privileged policy management
An unprivileged local user can load, replace, and remove profiles by
opening the apparmorfs interfaces, via a confused deputy attack, by
passing the opened fd to a privileged process, and getting the
privileged process to write to the interface.

This does require a privileged target that can be manipulated to do
the write for the unprivileged process, but once such access is
achieved full policy management is possible and all the possible
implications that implies: removing confinement, DoS of system or
target applications by denying all execution, by-passing the
unprivileged user namespace restriction, to exploiting kernel bugs for
a local privilege escalation.

The policy management interface can not have its permissions simply
changed from 0666 to 0600 because non-root processes need to be able
to load policy to different policy namespaces.

Instead ensure the task writing the interface has privileges that
are a subset of the task that opened the interface. This is already
done via policy for confined processes, but unconfined can delegate
access to the opened fd, by-passing the usual policy check.

d352873bbe apparmor: fix missing bounds check on DEFAULT table in verify_dfa()
The verify_dfa() function only checks DEFAULT_TABLE bounds when the state
is not differentially encoded.

When the verification loop traverses the differential encoding chain,
it reads k = DEFAULT_TABLE[j] and uses k as an array index without
validation. A malformed DFA with DEFAULT_TABLE[j] >= state_count,
therefore, causes both out-of-bounds reads and writes.

3060394149 apparmor: fix: limit the number of levels of policy namespaces
Currently the number of policy namespaces is not bounded relying on
the user namespace limit. However policy namespaces aren't strictly
tied to user namespaces and it is possible to create them and nest
them arbitrarily deep which can be used to exhaust system resource.

Hard cap policy namespaces to the same depth as user namespaces.

ab09264660 apparmor: replace recursive profile removal with iterative approach
The profile removal code uses recursion when removing nested profiles,
which can lead to kernel stack exhaustion and system crashes.

Reproducer:
  $ pf='a'; for ((i=0; i<1024; i++)); do
      echo -e "profile $pf { \n }" | apparmor_parser -K -a;
      pf="$pf//x";
  done
  $ echo -n a > /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/.remove

Replace the recursive __aa_profile_list_release() approach with an
iterative approach in __remove_profile(). The function repeatedly
finds and removes leaf profiles until the entire subtree is removed,
maintaining the same removal semantic without recursion.

treewide: change inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64
On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which
causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several
filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that
exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions
and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems.

Change the type of inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that
inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of
architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to
%llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable
types.

This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series
handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for
better struct packing on 32-bit.

32a92f8c89 Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

The buffer hold is a measure of contention, but it is tracked per cpu
where the lock is a globabl resource. On some systems (eg. real time)
there is no guarantee that the code will be on the same cpu pre, and
post spinlock acquisition, nor that the buffer will be put back to
the same percpu cache when we are done with it.

Because of this the hold value can move asynchronous to the buffers on
the cache, meaning it is possible to underflow, and potentially in really
pathelogical cases overflow.

decrements cache->hold. If hold reaches 0 while count is still non-zero,
the unsigned decrement wraps to UINT_MAX. This keeps hold non-zero for a

list, which can starve other CPUs and force repeated kmalloc(aa_g_path_max)
allocations.

Guard the decrement so hold never underflows.

cases they are used for.

xxx_in_scope for checking mediation interaction between profiles
xxx_in_view to determine which profiles are visible.The scope will
always be a subset of the view as profiles that can not see each
other can not interact.

The split can not be completely done for label_match because it has to
distinct uses matching permission against label in scope, and checking
if a transition to a profile is allowed. The transition to a profile
can include profiles that are in view but not in scope, so retain this
distinction as a parameter.

While at the moment the two uses are very similar, in the future there
will be additional differences. So make sure the semantics differences
are present in the code.

Since these are low frequency ancillary data items they are stored
in a tighter packed format to that allows for sharing and reuse of the
strings between permissions and accept states. Reducing the amount of
kernel memory use at the cost of having to go through a couple if
index based indirections.

The tags are just strings that has no meaning with out context. When
used as meta-data for auditing and debugging its entirely information
for userspace, but triggers, and tainting can be used to affect the
domain. However they all exist in the same packed data set and can

When receiving file descriptors via SCM_RIGHTS, both the socket pointer
and the socket's sk pointer can be NULL during socket setup or teardown,
causing NULL pointer dereferences in __unix_needs_revalidation().

This is a regression in AppArmor 5.0.0 (kernel 6.17+) where the new
__unix_needs_revalidation() function was added without proper NULL checks.

The crash manifests as:
  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0x0000000000000018
  RIP: aa_file_perm+0xb7/0x3b0 (or +0xbe/0x3b0, +0xc0/0x3e0)

The function dereferences sock->sk->sk_family without checking if either
sock or sock->sk is NULL first.

7cd122b552 Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to pin
dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing those).
 Reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually _stored_
 anywhere.  That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other
 things, we have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended
 to be an unpaired one.  Worse, on removal we need to decide whether
 the reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if
 that removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
 pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done.  Usually that is handled by using
 kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
 cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).
 
 Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag (DCACHE_PERSISTENT)
 marking those "leaked" dentries.  Having it set claims responsibility
 for +1 in refcount.
 
 The end result this series is aiming for:
 
 * get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives that
   would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear persistency flag.
 * instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the remaining
   "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't been removed
   prior to umount), have the regular shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip
   DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries, dropping the corresponding
   reference if it had been set.  After that kill_litter_super() becomes
   an equivalent of kill_anon_super().
 
 Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many places
 in too many filesystems.  It has to be split into a series.
 
 This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary pieces
 have already gone into mainline.  This chunk is finally getting to the
 meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions to it.
 
 Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of

Pull LSM updates from Paul Moore:

 - Rework the LSM initialization code

   What started as a "quick" patch to enable a notification event once
   all of the individual LSMs were initialized, snowballed a bit into a
   30+ patch patchset when everything was done. Most of the patches, and
   diffstat, is due to splitting out the initialization code into
   security/lsm_init.c and cleaning up some of the mess that was there.
   While not strictly necessary, it does cleanup the code signficantly,
   and hopefully makes the upkeep a bit easier in the future.

   Aside from the new LSM_STARTED_ALL notification, these changes also
   ensure that individual LSM initcalls are only called when the LSM is
   enabled at boot time. There should be a minor reduction in boot times
   for those who build multiple LSMs into their kernels, but only enable
   a subset at boot.

   It is worth mentioning that nothing at present makes use of the
   LSM_STARTED_ALL notification, but there is work in progress which is
   dependent upon LSM_STARTED_ALL.

eb028c3345 d_make_discardable(): warn if given a non-persistent dentry
At this point there are very few call chains that might lead to
d_make_discardable() on a dentry that hadn't been made persistent:
calls of simple_unlink() and simple_rmdir() in configfs and
apparmorfs.

Both filesystems do pin (part of) their contents in dcache, but
they are currently playing very unusual games with that.  Converting
them to more usual patterns might be possible, but it's definitely
going to be a long series of changes in both cases.

For now the easiest solution is to have both stop using simple_unlink()
and simple_rmdir() - that allows to make d_make_discardable() warn
when given a non-persistent dentry.

Rather than giving them full-blown private copies (with calls of
d_make_discardable() replaced with dput()), let's pull the parts of
simple_unlink() and simple_rmdir() that deal with timestamps and link
counts into separate helpers (__simple_unlink() and __simple_rmdir()
resp.) and have those used by configfs and apparmorfs.

VFS: introduce start_removing_dentry()
start_removing_dentry() is similar to start_removing() but instead of
providing a name for lookup, the target dentry is given.

start_removing_dentry() checks that the dentry is still hashed and in
the parent, and if so it locks and increases the refcount so that
end_removing() can be used to finish the operation.

This is used in cachefiles, overlayfs, smb/server, and apparmor.

There will be other users including ecryptfs.

As start_removing_dentry() takes an extra reference to the dentry (to be
put by end_removing()), there is no need to explicitly take an extra
reference to stop d_delete() from using dentry_unlink_inode() to negate
the dentry - as in cachefiles_delete_object(), and ksmbd_vfs_unlink().

cachefiles_bury_object() now gets an extra ref to the victim, which is
drops.  As it includes the needed end_removing() calls, the caller
doesn't need them.

9f9dc69e06 lsm: replace the name field with a pointer to the lsm_id struct
Reduce the duplication between the lsm_id struct and the DEFINE_LSM()
definition by linking the lsm_id struct directly into the individual
LSM's DEFINE_LSM() instance.

Linking the lsm_id into the LSM definition also allows us to simplify
the security_add_hooks() function by removing the code which populates
the lsm_idlist[] array and moving it into the normal LSM startup code
where the LSM list is parsed and the individual LSMs are enabled,
making for a cleaner implementation with less overhead at boot.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:

 - Proper audit support for multiple LSMs

   As the audit subsystem predated the work to enable multiple LSMs,
   some additional work was needed to support logging the different LSM
   labels for the subjects/tasks and objects on the system. Casey's
   patches add new auxillary records for subjects and objects that
   convey the additional labels.

 - Ensure fanotify audit events are always generated

   Generally speaking security relevant subsystems always generate audit
   events, unless explicitly ignored. However, up to this point fanotify
   events had been ignored by default, but starting with this pull
   request fanotify follows convention and generates audit events by
   default.

edd3cb05c0 copy_process: pass clone_flags as u64 across calltree
With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd3 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.

While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.

Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of callees to
sys_clone3/copy_process (excluding the architecture-specific
copy_thread) to consistently pass clone_flags as u64, so that
no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on 32-bit architectures.

eb59d494ee audit: add record for multiple task security contexts
Replace the single skb pointer in an audit_buffer with a list of
skb pointers. Add the audit_stamp information to the audit_buffer as
there's no guarantee that there will be an audit_context containing
the stamp associated with the event. At audit_log_end() time create
auxiliary records as have been added to the list. Functions are
created to manage the skb list in the audit_buffer.

Create a new audit record AUDIT_MAC_TASK_CONTEXTS.
An example of the MAC_TASK_CONTEXTS record is:

    type=MAC_TASK_CONTEXTS
      msg=audit(1600880931.832:113)
      subj_apparmor=unconfined
      subj_smack=_

When an audit event includes a AUDIT_MAC_TASK_CONTEXTS record the
"subj=" field in other records in the event will be "subj=?".
An AUDIT_MAC_TASK_CONTEXTS record is supplied when the system has
multiple security modules that may make access decisions based on a
subject security context.

Refactor audit_log_task_context(), creating a new audit_log_subj_ctx().
This is used in netlabel auditing to provide multiple subject security
contexts as necessary.
