2026-01-09security: Add KUnit tests for kuid_root_in_ns and vfsuid_root_in_currentnsRyan Foster1-0/+4
Add comprehensive KUnit tests for the namespace-related capability functions that Serge Hallyn refactored in commit 9891d2f79a9f ("Clarify the rootid_owns_currentns"). The tests verify: - Basic functionality: UID 0 in init namespace, invalid vfsuid, non-zero UIDs - Actual namespace traversal: Creating user namespaces with different UID mappings where uid 0 maps to different kuids (e.g., 1000, 2000, 3000) - Hierarchy traversal: Testing multiple nested namespaces to verify correct namespace hierarchy traversal This addresses the feedback to "test the actual functionality" by creating real user namespaces with different values for the namespace's uid 0, rather than just basic input validation. The test file is included at the end of commoncap.c when CONFIG_SECURITY_COMMONCAP_KUNIT_TEST is enabled, following the standard kernel pattern (e.g., scsi_lib.c, ext4/mballoc.c). This allows tests to access static functions in the same compilation unit without modifying production code based on test configuration. The tests require CONFIG_USER_NS to be enabled since they rely on user namespace mapping functionality. The Kconfig dependency ensures the tests only build when this requirement is met. All 7 tests pass: - test_vfsuid_root_in_currentns_init_ns - test_vfsuid_root_in_currentns_invalid - test_vfsuid_root_in_currentns_nonzero - test_kuid_root_in_ns_init_ns_uid0 - test_kuid_root_in_ns_init_ns_nonzero - test_kuid_root_in_ns_with_mapping - test_kuid_root_in_ns_with_different_mappings Updated MAINTAINER capabilities to include commoncap test Signed-off-by: Ryan Foster <foster.ryan.r@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn <sergeh@kernel.org>

2025-10-22lsm: replace the name field with a pointer to the lsm_id structPaul Moore1-1/+1
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.

2025-06-23exec: Correct the permission check for unsafe execEric W. Biederman1-12/+8
Max Kellerman recently experienced a problem[1] when calling exec with differing uid and euid's and he triggered the logic that is supposed to only handle setuid executables. When exec isn't changing anything in struct cred it doesn't make sense to go into the code that is there to handle the case when the credentials change. When looking into the history of the code I discovered that this issue was not present in Linux-2.4.0-test12 and was introduced in Linux-2.4.0-prerelease when the logic for handling this case was moved from prepare_binprm to compute_creds in fs/exec.c. The bug introdused was to comparing euid in the new credentials with uid instead of euid in the old credentials, when testing if setuid had changed the euid. Since triggering the keep ptrace limping along case for setuid executables makes no sense when it was not a setuid exec revert back to the logic present in Linux-2.4.0-test12. This removes the confusingly named and subtlety incorrect helpers is_setuid and is_setgid, that helped this bug to persist. The varaiable is_setid is renamed to id_changed (it's Linux-2.4.0-test12) as the old name describes what matters rather than it's cause. The code removed in Linux-2.4.0-prerelease was: - /* Set-uid? */ - if (mode & S_ISUID) { - bprm->e_uid = inode->i_uid; - if (bprm->e_uid != current->euid) - id_change = 1; - } - - /* Set-gid? */ - /* - * If setgid is set but no group execute bit then this - * is a candidate for mandatory locking, not a setgid - * executable. - */ - if ((mode & (S_ISGID | S_IXGRP)) == (S_ISGID | S_IXGRP)) { - bprm->e_gid = inode->i_gid; - if (!in_group_p(bprm->e_gid)) - id_change = 1; Linux-2.4.0-prerelease added the current logic as: + if (bprm->e_uid != current->uid || bprm->e_gid != current->gid || + !cap_issubset(new_permitted, current->cap_permitted)) { + current->dumpable = 0; + + lock_kernel(); + if (must_not_trace_exec(current) + || atomic_read(&current->fs->count) > 1 + || atomic_read(&current->files->count) > 1 + || atomic_read(&current->sig->count) > 1) { + if(!capable(CAP_SETUID)) { + bprm->e_uid = current->uid; + bprm->e_gid = current->gid; + } + if(!capable(CAP_SETPCAP)) { + new_permitted = cap_intersect(new_permitted, + current->cap_permitted); + } + } + do_unlock = 1; + } I have condenced the logic from Linux-2.4.0-test12 to just: id_changed = !uid_eq(new->euid, old->euid) || !in_group_p(new->egid); This change is userspace visible, but I don't expect anyone to care. For the bug that is being fixed to trigger bprm->unsafe has to be set. The variable bprm->unsafe is set when ptracing an executable, when sharing a working directory, or when no_new_privs is set. Properly testing for cases that are safe even in those conditions and doing nothing special should not affect anyone. Especially if they were previously ok with their credentials getting munged To minimize behavioural changes the code continues to set secureexec when euid != uid or when egid != gid.

2024-12-18security: Add EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE and EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE securebitsMickaël Salaün1-6/+23
The new SECBIT_EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE, SECBIT_EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE, and their *_LOCKED counterparts are designed to be set by processes setting up an execution environment, such as a user session, a container, or a security sandbox. Unlike other securebits, these ones can be set by unprivileged processes. Like seccomp filters or Landlock domains, the securebits are inherited across processes. When SECBIT_EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE is set, programs interpreting code should control executable resources according to execveat(2) + AT_EXECVE_CHECK (see previous commit). When SECBIT_EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE is set, a process should deny execution of user interactive commands (which excludes executable regular files). Being able to configure each of these securebits enables system administrators or owner of image containers to gradually validate the related changes and to identify potential issues (e.g. with interpreter or audit logs). It should be noted that unlike other security bits, the SECBIT_EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE and SECBIT_EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE bits are dedicated to user space willing to restrict itself. Because of that, they only make sense in the context of a trusted environment (e.g. sandbox, container, user session, full system) where the process changing its behavior (according to these bits) and all its parent processes are trusted. Otherwise, any parent process could just execute its own malicious code (interpreting a script or not), or even enforce a seccomp filter to mask these bits. Such a secure environment can be achieved with an appropriate access control (e.g. mount's noexec option, file access rights, LSM policy) and an enlighten ld.so checking that libraries are allowed for execution e.g., to protect against illegitimate use of LD_PRELOAD. Ptrace restrictions according to these securebits would not make sense because of the processes' trust assumption. Scripts may need some changes to deal with untrusted data (e.g. stdin, environment variables), but that is outside the scope of the kernel.

2023-11-12LSM: Identify modules by more than nameCasey Schaufler1-1/+7
Create a struct lsm_id to contain identifying information about Linux Security Modules (LSMs). At inception this contains the name of the module and an identifier associated with the security module. Change the security_add_hooks() interface to use this structure. Change the individual modules to maintain their own struct lsm_id and pass it to security_add_hooks(). The values are for LSM identifiers are defined in a new UAPI header file linux/lsm.h. Each existing LSM has been updated to include it's LSMID in the lsm_id. The LSM ID values are sequential, with the oldest module LSM_ID_CAPABILITY being the lowest value and the existing modules numbered in the order they were included in the main line kernel. This is an arbitrary convention for assigning the values, but none better presents itself. The value 0 is defined as being invalid. The values 1-99 are reserved for any special case uses which may arise in the future. This may include attributes of the LSM infrastructure itself, possibly related to namespacing or network attribute management. A special range is identified for such attributes to help reduce confusion for developers unfamiliar with LSMs. LSM attribute values are defined for the attributes presented by modules that are available today. As with the LSM IDs, The value 0 is defined as being invalid. The values 1-99 are reserved for any special case uses which may arise in the future.

2023-03-20selinux: remove the runtime disable functionalityPaul Moore1-1/+1
After working with the larger SELinux-based distros for several years, we're finally at a place where we can disable the SELinux runtime disable functionality. The existing kernel deprecation notice explains the functionality and why we want to remove it: The selinuxfs "disable" node allows SELinux to be disabled at runtime prior to a policy being loaded into the kernel. If disabled via this mechanism, SELinux will remain disabled until the system is rebooted. The preferred method of disabling SELinux is via the "selinux=0" boot parameter, but the selinuxfs "disable" node was created to make it easier for systems with primitive bootloaders that did not allow for easy modification of the kernel command line. Unfortunately, allowing for SELinux to be disabled at runtime makes it difficult to secure the kernel's LSM hooks using the "__ro_after_init" feature. It is that last sentence, mentioning the '__ro_after_init' hardening, which is the real motivation for this change, and if you look at the diffstat you'll see that the impact of this patch reaches across all the different LSMs, helping prevent tampering at the LSM hook level. From a SELinux perspective, it is important to note that if you continue to disable SELinux via "/etc/selinux/config" it may appear that SELinux is disabled, but it is simply in an uninitialized state. If you load a policy with `load_policy -i`, you will see SELinux come alive just as if you had loaded the policy during early-boot. It is also worth noting that the "/sys/fs/selinux/disable" file is always writable now, regardless of the Kconfig settings, but writing to the file has no effect on the system, other than to display an error on the console if a non-zero/true value is written. Finally, in the several years where we have been working on deprecating this functionality, there has only been one instance of someone mentioning any user visible breakage. In this particular case it was an individual's kernel test system, and the workaround documented in the deprecation notice ("selinux=0" on the kernel command line) resolved the issue without problem.

2023-03-01capability: just use a 'u64' instead of a 'u32[2]' arrayLinus Torvalds1-27/+22
Back in 2008 we extended the capability bits from 32 to 64, and we did it by extending the single 32-bit capability word from one word to an array of two words. It was then obfuscated by hiding the "2" behind two macro expansions, with the reasoning being that maybe it gets extended further some day. That reasoning may have been valid at the time, but the last thing we want to do is to extend the capability set any more. And the array of values not only causes source code oddities (with loops to deal with it), but also results in worse code generation. It's a lose-lose situation. So just change the 'u32[2]' into a 'u64' and be done with it. We still have to deal with the fact that the user space interface is designed around an array of these 32-bit values, but that was the case before too, since the array layouts were different (ie user space doesn't use an array of 32-bit values for individual capability masks, but an array of 32-bit slices of multiple masks). So that marshalling of data is actually simplified too, even if it does remain somewhat obscure and odd. This was all triggered by my reaction to the new "cap_isidentical()" introduced recently. By just using a saner data structure, it went from unsigned __capi; CAP_FOR_EACH_U32(__capi) { if (a.cap[__capi] != b.cap[__capi]) return false; } return true; to just being return a.val == b.val; instead. Which is rather more obvious both to humans and to compilers.

2022-11-18lsm,fs: fix vfs_getxattr_alloc() return type and caller error pathsPaul Moore1-12/+10
The vfs_getxattr_alloc() function currently returns a ssize_t value despite the fact that it only uses int values internally for return values. Fix this by converting vfs_getxattr_alloc() to return an int type and adjust the callers as necessary. As part of these caller modifications, some of the callers are fixed to properly free the xattr value buffer on both success and failure to ensure that memory is not leaked in the failure case.

2022-10-28capabilities: fix potential memleak on error path from vfs_getxattr_alloc()Gaosheng Cui1-2/+4
In cap_inode_getsecurity(), we will use vfs_getxattr_alloc() to complete the memory allocation of tmpbuf, if we have completed the memory allocation of tmpbuf, but failed to call handler->get(...), there will be a memleak in below logic: |-- ret = (int)vfs_getxattr_alloc(mnt_userns, ...) | /* ^^^ alloc for tmpbuf */ |-- value = krealloc(*xattr_value, error + 1, flags) | /* ^^^ alloc memory */ |-- error = handler->get(handler, ...) | /* error! */ |-- *xattr_value = value | /* xattr_value is &tmpbuf (memory leak!) */ So we will try to free(tmpbuf) after vfs_getxattr_alloc() fails to fix it.

2021-12-05fs: support mapped mounts of mapped filesystemsChristian Brauner1-5/+4
In previous patches we added new and modified existing helpers to handle idmapped mounts of filesystems mounted with an idmapping. In this final patch we convert all relevant places in the vfs to actually pass the filesystem's idmapping into these helpers. With this the vfs is in shape to handle idmapped mounts of filesystems mounted with an idmapping. Note that this is just the generic infrastructure. Actually adding support for idmapped mounts to a filesystem mountable with an idmapping is follow-up work. In this patch we extend the definition of an idmapped mount from a mount that that has the initial idmapping attached to it to a mount that has an idmapping attached to it which is not the same as the idmapping the filesystem was mounted with. As before we do not allow the initial idmapping to be attached to a mount. In addition this patch prevents that the idmapping the filesystem was mounted with can be attached to a mount created based on this filesystem. This has multiple reasons and advantages. First, attaching the initial idmapping or the filesystem's idmapping doesn't make much sense as in both cases the values of the i_{g,u}id and other places where k{g,u}ids are used do not change. Second, a user that really wants to do this for whatever reason can just create a separate dedicated identical idmapping to attach to the mount. Third, we can continue to use the initial idmapping as an indicator that a mount is not idmapped allowing us to continue to keep passing the initial idmapping into the mapping helpers to tell them that something isn't an idmapped mount even if the filesystem is mounted with an idmapping.

2021-12-03fs: use low-level mapping helpersChristian Brauner1-5/+8
In a few places the vfs needs to interact with bare k{g,u}ids directly instead of struct inode. These are just a few. In previous patches we introduced low-level mapping helpers that are able to support filesystems mounted an idmapping. This patch simply converts the places to use these new helpers.

2021-12-03fs: move mapping helpersChristian Brauner1-0/+1
The low-level mapping helpers were so far crammed into fs.h. They are out of place there. The fs.h header should just contain the higher-level mapping helpers that interact directly with vfs objects such as struct super_block or struct inode and not the bare mapping helpers. Similarly, only vfs and specific fs code shall interact with low-level mapping helpers. And so they won't be made accessible automatically through regular {g,u}id helpers.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux Pull idmapped mounts from Christian Brauner: "This introduces idmapped mounts which has been in the making for some time. Simply put, different mounts can expose the same file or directory with different ownership. This initial implementation comes with ports for fat, ext4 and with Christoph's port for xfs with more filesystems being actively worked on by independent people and maintainers. Idmapping mounts handle a wide range of long standing use-cases. Here are just a few: - Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the implementation of portable home directories in systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple computers where they are assigned different uids and gids. This effectively makes it possible to assign random uids and gids at login time. - It is possible to share files from the host with unprivileged containers without having to change ownership permanently through chown(2). - It is possible to idmap a container's rootfs and without having to mangle every file. For example, Chromebooks use it to share the user's Download folder with their unprivileged containers in their Linux subsystem. - It is possible to share files between containers with non-overlapping idmappings. - Filesystem that lack a proper concept of ownership such as fat can use idmapped mounts to implement discretionary access (DAC) permission checking. - They allow users to efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount basis without having to (recursively) chown(2) all files. In contrast to chown (2) changing ownership of large sets of files is instantenous with idmapped mounts. This is especially useful when ownership of a whole root filesystem of a virtual machine or container is changed. With idmapped mounts a single syscall mount_setattr syscall will be sufficient to change the ownership of all files. - Idmapped mounts always take the current ownership into account as idmappings specify what a given uid or gid is supposed to be mapped to. This contrasts with the chown(2) syscall which cannot by itself take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. It simply changes the ownership to the specified uid and gid. This is especially problematic when recursively chown(2)ing a large set of files which is commong with the aforementioned portable home directory and container and vm scenario. - Idmapped mounts allow to change ownership locally, restricting it to specific mounts, and temporarily as the ownership changes only apply as long as the mount exists. Several userspace projects have either already put up patches and pull-requests for this feature or will do so should you decide to pull this: - systemd: In a wide variety of scenarios but especially right away in their implementation of portable home directories. https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/ - container runtimes: containerd, runC, LXD:To share data between host and unprivileged containers, unprivileged and privileged containers, etc. The pull request for idmapped mounts support in containerd, the default Kubernetes runtime is already up for quite a while now: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/4734 - The virtio-fs developers and several users have expressed interest in using this feature with virtual machines once virtio-fs is ported. - ChromeOS: Sharing host-directories with unprivileged containers. I've tightly synced with all those projects and all of those listed here have also expressed their need/desire for this feature on the mailing list. For more info on how people use this there's a bunch of talks about this too. Here's just two recent ones: https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Rootless-Containers-in-Gitpod.pdf https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/containers_idmap/ This comes with an extensive xfstests suite covering both ext4 and xfs: https://git.kernel.org/brauner/xfstests-dev/h/idmapped_mounts It covers truncation, creation, opening, xattrs, vfscaps, setid execution, setgid inheritance and more both with idmapped and non-idmapped mounts. It already helped to discover an unrelated xfs setgid inheritance bug which has since been fixed in mainline. It will be sent for inclusion with the xfstests project should you decide to merge this. In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount. By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace. The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not idmapped. All operations behave as before and this is verified in the testsuite. Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is currently marked with. The user namespace the mount will be marked with can be specified by passing a file descriptor refering to the user namespace as an argument to the new mount_setattr() syscall together with the new MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag. The system call follows the openat2() pattern of extensibility. The following conditions must be met in order to create an idmapped mount: - The caller must currently have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the user namespace the underlying filesystem has been mounted in. - The underlying filesystem must support idmapped mounts. - The mount must not already be idmapped. This also implies that the idmapping of a mount cannot be altered once it has been idmapped. - The mount must be a detached/anonymous mount, i.e. it must have been created by calling open_tree() with the OPEN_TREE_CLONE flag and it must not already have been visible in the filesystem. The last two points guarantee easier semantics for userspace and the kernel and make the implementation significantly simpler. By default vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace and no behavioral or performance changes are observed. The manpage with a detailed description can be found here: https://git.kernel.org/brauner/man-pages/c/1d7b902e2875a1ff342e036a9f866a995640aea8 In order to support idmapped mounts, filesystems need to be changed and mark themselves with the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in fs_flags. The patches to convert individual filesystem are not very large or complicated overall as can be seen from the included fat, ext4, and xfs ports. Patches for other filesystems are actively worked on and will be sent out separately. The xfstestsuite can be used to verify that port has been done correctly. The mount_setattr() syscall is motivated independent of the idmapped mounts patches and it's been around since July 2019. One of the most valuable features of the new mount api is the ability to perform mounts based on file descriptors only. Together with the lookup restrictions available in the openat2() RESOLVE_* flag namespace which we added in v5.6 this is the first time we are close to hardened
