apparmor: fix race between freeing data and fs accessing it

2026-04-18T08:31:14+00:00

commit 8e135b8aee5a06c52a4347a5a6d51223c6f36ba3 upstream.

Backport for conflicts introdued by
- conversion from sha1 to sha256 introduced in
   e44a4dc4b36c ("apparmor: switch SECURITY_APPARMOR_HASH from sha1 to sha256
")

- adding of conditioanl that nests the conflicting code inside an if
  condition
  d61c57fde819 ("apparmor: make export of raw binary profile to userspace optional")

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 and 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.

apparmor: fix absroot causing audited secids to begin with =

2022-08-25T09:37:52+00:00

commit 511f7b5b835726e844a5fc7444c18e4b8672edfd upstream.

AppArmor is prefixing secids that are converted to secctx with the =
to indicate the secctx should only be parsed from an absolute root
POV. This allows catching errors where secctx are reparsed back into
internal labels.

Unfortunately because audit is using secid to secctx conversion this
means that subject and object labels can result in a very unfortunate
== that can break audit parsing.

eg. the subj==unconfined term in the below audit message

type=USER_LOGIN msg=audit(1639443365.233:160): pid=1633 uid=0 auid=1000
ses=3 subj==unconfined msg='op=login id=1000 exe="/usr/sbin/sshd"
hostname=192.168.122.1 addr=192.168.122.1 terminal=/dev/pts/1 res=success'

Fix this by switch the prepending of = to a _. This still works as a
special character to flag this case without breaking audit. Also move
this check behind debug as it should not be needed during normal
operqation.

Rename superblock flags (MS_xyz -> SB_xyz)

2017-11-27T21:05:09+00:00

This is a pure automated search-and-replace of the internal kernel
superblock flags.

The s_flags are now called SB_*, with the names and the values for the
moment mirroring the MS_* flags that they're equivalent to.

Note how the MS_xyz flags are the ones passed to the mount system call,
while the SB_xyz flags are what we then use in sb->s_flags.

The script to do this was:

    # places to look in; re security/*: it generally should *not* be
    # touched (that stuff parses mount(2) arguments directly), but
    # there are two places where we really deal with superblock flags.

locking/rwsem, security/apparmor: Replace homebrew use of write_can_lock() with lockdep

2017-10-10T09:50:17+00:00

The lockdep subsystem provides a robust way to assert that a lock is
held, so use that instead of write_can_lock, which can give incorrect
results for qrwlocks.

mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers

2017-05-09T00:15:12+00:00

Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.

There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
tree.  Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
fallback is available.

As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
subsystem proper.

Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
instead.  This is patch 6.  There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.

[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170130094940.13546-1-mhocko@kernel.org
[2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com

This patch (of 9):

Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
common pattern in the kernel code.  Yet we do not have any common helper
for that and so users have invented their own helpers.  Some of them are
really creative when doing so.  Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
it is implemented properly.  This implementation makes sure to not make
a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
to not warn about allocation failures.  This also rules out the OOM
killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
user visible action.

This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
are specific for them.  In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and
require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general
(note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL).  Those need to be
fixed separately.

While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp
mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.
kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not
superset) flags to catch new abusers.  Existing ones would have to die
slowly.
