commit fedc88e38ce979a720cd2de042578cb5df3dc8de upstream.

When inspecting the credentials of another task, objective credentials
(-&gt;real_cred, accessed with __task_cred()) must always be used.

Accessing -&gt;cred on a non-current task is forbidden unless that task is
being created or destroyed; a task is allowed to change its own -&gt;cred
pointer with no synchronization, and changing -&gt;cred should only affect the
current syscall.

smack_file_send_sigiotask() was accessing both sets of credentials: First
tsk-&gt;cred, then __task_cred(tsk).

Fix it, always access the objective credentials here.

I have tested that this bug can lead to a KASAN-reported UAF of struct cred
in smack_file_send_sigiotask(), and that this fix prevents the race.

<title>apparmor: fix out-of-bounds write when null terminating a label vec</title>

commit 9f1e40193eef7f047e6b77cfb4b4cafdecd7a123 upstream.

aa_vec_unique() null terminates at vec[n - dups] when VEC_FLAG_TERMINATE
is passed. If the components are all distinct no duplicates are dropped,
dups is 0 and the terminator goes to vec[n], so the caller has to provide
room for n + 1 entries.

aa_label_strn_parse() sets up its vector with vec_setup(profile, vec, len,
gfp) and then calls aa_vec_unique(vec, len, VEC_FLAG_TERMINATE), but
vec_setup() does not reserve the terminator entry. Up to LOCAL_VEC_ENTRIES
it uses the local array of LOCAL_VEC_ENTRIES pointers, above that it
allocates exactly len pointers. The terminator therefore lands one entry
past the end of the local array when len is LOCAL_VEC_ENTRIES, and one
entry past the end of the allocation when len is larger.

len comes from the number of "//&amp;" separated components in the label name
and label_count_strn_entries() does not bound it. An unprivileged task
reaches the parse by writing to /proc/self/attr/apparmor/current or through
lsm_set_self_attr(2), both of which go through do_setattr(), and the name
is parsed before the change_profile permission is checked.
The query_label() path behind the securityfs .access file, which is
mode 0666, performs no permission check at all. Every component has to
resolve to a loaded profile, so a system with policy loaded is required.

The other two VEC_FLAG_TERMINATE users work on a label vec that
aa_label_alloc() has already sized with "+ 1 for null terminator entry on
vec". Reserve the same entry in vec_setup() and DEFINE_VEC(). Passing
len + 1 from the caller instead would move len == LOCAL_VEC_ENTRIES out of
the local array and into kzalloc().

<title>apparmor: fix cred UAF caused by begin_current_label_crit_section()</title>

<id>361488984d668235438faac28635f3632351407f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3f4ae5fab613dca01d6a2a8210dd832e009fcf47 upstream.

AppArmor's begin_current_label_crit_section() is a scary function called
from lots of LSM hooks (in particular VFS/socket-related ones) that checks
if the label referenced by the current creds is marked FLAG_STALE, and if
so, attempts to use aa_replace_current_label() to replace the creds with an
updated version that uses a new label.

The first problem with this is that it would directly lead to UAF of
`struct cred` if anything in the kernel takes a pointer to the current
creds and accesses these past a security hook invocation that replaces
creds, like so:
```
const struct cred *cred = current_cred();
alloc_file_pseudo(...);
uid_t uid = cred-&gt;euid;
```
I don't know if anything in the kernel actually does this, but I think it
is very surprising that this pattern could lead to UAF.

The second problem is that things go wrong when aa_replace_current_label()
runs with overridden credentials. aa_replace_current_label() bails out if
`current_cred() != current_real_cred()` (mirroring the check in
proc_pid_attr_write()), but this check can't actually reliably detect
overridden credentials because the overridden creds can be the same as the
objective creds.

So in approximately the following scenario, things go wrong:

1. task begins with &lt;creds A&gt; (as both objective and subjective creds),
   with refcount=2
2. task grabs an extra reference on &lt;creds A&gt; for overriding
3. task calls override_creds(&lt;creds A&gt;), which returns a pointer to the old
   subjective creds (&lt;creds A&gt;)
4. task enters AppArmor LSM hook
5. AppArmor checks that objective/subjective creds are equal
6. AppArmor replaces both cred pointers with &lt;creds B&gt; and drops 2 refs on
   &lt;creds A&gt;
7. task leaves AppArmor LSM hook
8. task calls revert_creds(&lt;creds A&gt;)
9. now task-&gt;cred is &lt;creds A&gt; while task-&gt;real_cred is &lt;creds B&gt;, but the
   task_struct logically holds two references to &lt;creds B&gt;
10. another task drops the extra reference on &lt;creds A&gt; that was used for
    overriding, refcount drops to 0
11. now task-&gt;real_cred points to freed creds

At this point, any access to current_cred() will be UAF.

I have a test case where I run aa-disable on a profile while a process
using that profile is blocked on splice() from a FUSE passthrough file into
a full pipe; after the profile update, the pipe becomes empty, splice()
resumes, the credentials go out of sync, and a subsequent getuid() syscall
results in a KASAN UAF splat.

To fix this, instead of directly replacing creds, do it via task_work that
will run at the end of the current syscall. (The point in time at which the
cred replacement happens should have no correctness impact; it is just a
performance optimization to avoid unnecessarily touching the refcount of
the new label.)

Note that AppArmor still performs direct cred replacements in the
sb_pivotroot LSM hook after this change, and that direct cred replacements
can still happen in VFS -&gt;write() callbacks via proc_pid_attr_write().

There are two options for what to do with aa_dup_task_ctx(): Either
explicitly reset new-&gt;label_replacement_pending after the entire
aa_task_ctx has been copied, or switch to manually copying members over.
I am switching to manually copying members over because that should make
bugs more obvious.

security_get_permissions() sizes an array by the class's permissions.nprim
and fills it at value - 1, from the inherited common's permission table and
then the class's own. A value no permission defines leaves a NULL that
sel_make_perm_files() passes to d_alloc_name(), an oops inside
sel_write_load() that strands selinux_state.policy_mutex and leaves every
later load in uninterruptible sleep; two permissions sharing a value
overwrite the first kstrdup(). Bounding each value by nprim catches
neither, and neither would a count: the symbol table is keyed on the
permission name, so duplicates pass.

Track the values each permission table claims and require them to cover
exactly what its count declares, rejecting a count no value can reach.
Conforming policies are unaffected.

[ Upstream commit 18fa21f10d008a0fc22565109c7d38f304295912 ]

Be more strict during parsing of policies and reject invalid values.

Add some error messages in the case of policy parse failures, to
enhance debugging, either on a malformed policy or a too strict check.

type u16 consistently.
