Linux kernel source tree
d9818b3e90
When linking or renaming a file, if only one of the source or
destination directory is backed by an S_PRIVATE inode, then the related
set of layer masks would be used as uninitialized by
is_access_to_paths_allowed(). This would result to indeterministic
access for one side instead of always being allowed.
This bug could only be triggered with a mounted filesystem containing
both S_PRIVATE and !S_PRIVATE inodes, which doesn't seem possible.
The collect_domain_accesses() calls return early if
is_nouser_or_private() returns false, which means that the directory's
superblock has SB_NOUSER or its inode has S_PRIVATE. Because rename or
link actions are only allowed on the same mounted filesystem, the
superblock is always the same for both source and destination
directories. However, it might be possible in theory to have an
S_PRIVATE parent source inode with an !S_PRIVATE parent destination
inode, or vice versa.
To make sure this case is not an issue, explicitly initialized both set
of layer masks to 0, which means to allow all actions on the related
side. If at least on side has !S_PRIVATE, then
collect_domain_accesses() and is_access_to_paths_allowed() check for the
required access rights.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
