[ Upstream commit 00720f0e7f288d29681d265c23b22bb0f0f4e5b4 ]

The mix of IS_ENABLED() and #ifdef checks has left a combination
that causes a warning about an unused variable:

security/smack/smack_lsm.c: In function 'smack_socket_connect':
security/smack/smack_lsm.c:2838:24: error: unused variable 'sip' [-Werror=unused-variable]
 2838 |   struct sockaddr_in6 *sip = (struct sockaddr_in6 *)sap;

Change the code to use C-style checks consistently so the compiler
can handle it correctly.

<title>mm: add kvfree_sensitive() for freeing sensitive data objects</title>

[ Upstream commit d4eaa2837851db2bfed572898bfc17f9a9f9151e ]

For kvmalloc'ed data object that contains sensitive information like
cryptographic keys, we need to make sure that the buffer is always cleared
before freeing it.  Using memset() alone for buffer clearing may not
provide certainty as the compiler may compile it away.  To be sure, the
special memzero_explicit() has to be used.

This patch introduces a new kvfree_sensitive() for freeing those sensitive
data objects allocated by kvmalloc().  The relevant places where
kvfree_sensitive() can be used are modified to use it.

[ Upstream commit 770f60586d2af0590be263f55fd079226313922c ]

This patch fixes the following warning and few other instances of
traversal of evm_config_xattrnames list:

[   32.848432] =============================
[   32.848707] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

[   32.849308] -----------------------------
[   32.849567] security/integrity/evm/evm_main.c:231 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

Since entries are only added to the list and never deleted, use
list_for_each_entry_lockless() instead of list_for_each_entry_rcu for
traversing the list.  Also, add a relevant comment in evm_secfs.c to
indicate this fact.

<title>exec: Always set cap_ambient in cap_bprm_set_creds</title>

[ Upstream commit a4ae32c71fe90794127b32d26d7ad795813b502e ]

An invariant of cap_bprm_set_creds is that every field in the new cred
structure that cap_bprm_set_creds might set, needs to be set every
time to ensure the fields does not get a stale value.

The field cap_ambient is not set every time cap_bprm_set_creds is
called, which means that if there is a suid or sgid script with an
interpreter that has neither the suid nor the sgid bits set the
interpreter should be able to accept ambient credentials.
Unfortuantely because cap_ambient is not reset to it's original value
the interpreter can not accept ambient credentials.

Given that the ambient capability set is expected to be controlled by
the caller, I don't think this is particularly serious.  But it is
definitely worth fixing so the code works correctly.

I have tested to verify my reading of the code is correct and the
interpreter of a sgid can receive ambient capabilities with this
change and cannot receive ambient capabilities without this change.

commit c6b39f070722ea9963ffe756bfe94e89218c5e63 upstream.

policy_update() invokes begin_current_label_crit_section(), which
returns a reference of the updated aa_label object to "label" with
increased refcount.

When policy_update() returns, "label" becomes invalid, so the refcount
should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.

The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of
policy_update(). When aa_may_manage_policy() returns not NULL, the
refcnt increased by begin_current_label_crit_section() is not decreased,
causing a refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by jumping to "end_section" label when
aa_may_manage_policy() returns not NULL.

commit a0b845ffa0d91855532b50fc040aeb2d8338dca4 upstream.

aa_change_profile() invokes aa_get_current_label(), which returns
a reference of the current task's label.

According to the comment of aa_get_current_label(), the returned
reference must be put with aa_put_label().
However, when the original object pointed by "label" becomes
unreachable because aa_change_profile() returns or a new object
is assigned to "label", reference count increased by
aa_get_current_label() is not decreased, causing a refcnt leak.

Fix this by calling aa_put_label() before aa_change_profile() return
and dropping unnecessary aa_get_current_label().

commit c54d481d71c6849e044690d3960aaebc730224cc upstream.

In the implementation of aa_audit_rule_init(), when aa_label_parse()
fails the allocated memory for rule is released using
aa_audit_rule_free(). But after this release, the return statement
tries to access the label field of the rule which results in
use-after-free. Before releasing the rule, copy errNo and return it
after release.

[ Upstream commit 8433856947217ebb5697a8ff9c4c9cad4639a2cf ]

The IS_ERR_OR_NULL() function has two conditions and if we got really
unlucky we could hit a race where "ptr" started as an error pointer and
then was set to NULL.  Both conditions would be false even though the
pointer at the end was NULL.

This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that "*tfm" can only be NULL
or valid.  I have introduced a "tmp_tfm" variable to make that work.  I
also reversed a condition and pulled the code in one tab.

[ Upstream commit 2e3a34e9f409ebe83d1af7cd2f49fca7af97dfac ]

This patch fixes the return value of ima_write_policy() when a new policy
is directly passed to IMA and the current policy requires appraisal of the
file containing the policy. Currently, if appraisal is not in ENFORCE mode,
ima_write_policy() returns 0 and leads user space applications to an
endless loop. Fix this issue by denying the operation regardless of the
appraisal mode.

Fixes: 19f8a84713edc ("ima: measure and appraise the IMA policy itself")
