commit 62cd5d480b9762ce70d720a81fa5b373052ae05f upstream.

'tpm2_load_cmd' allocates a tempoary blob indirectly via 'tpm2_key_decode'
but it is not freed in the failure paths. Address this by wrapping the blob
into with a cleanup helper.

<title>ima: Handle error code returned by ima_filter_rule_match()</title>

[ Upstream commit 738c9738e690f5cea24a3ad6fd2d9a323cf614f6 ]

In ima_match_rules(), if ima_filter_rule_match() returns -ENOENT due to
the rule being NULL, the function incorrectly skips the 'if (!rc)' check
and sets 'result = true'. The LSM rule is considered a match, causing
extra files to be measured by IMA.

This issue can be reproduced in the following scenario:
After unloading the SELinux policy module via 'semodule -d', if an IMA
measurement is triggered before ima_lsm_rules is updated,
in ima_match_rules(), the first call to ima_filter_rule_match() returns
-ESTALE. This causes the code to enter the 'if (rc == -ESTALE &amp;&amp;
!rule_reinitialized)' block, perform ima_lsm_copy_rule() and retry. In
ima_lsm_copy_rule(), since the SELinux module has been removed, the rule
becomes NULL, and the second call to ima_filter_rule_match() returns
-ENOENT. This bypasses the 'if (!rc)' check and results in a false match.

<title>smack: fix bug: setting task label silently ignores input garbage</title>

[ Upstream commit 674e2b24791cbe8fd5dc8a0aed4cb4404fcd2028 ]

This command:
    # echo foo/bar &gt;/proc/$$/attr/smack/current

gives the task a label 'foo' w/o indication
that label does not match input.
Setting the label with lsm_set_self_attr() syscall
behaves identically.

This occures because:

1) smk_parse_smack() is used to convert input to a label
2) smk_parse_smack() takes only that part from the
   beginning of the input that looks like a label.
3) `/' is prohibited in labels, so only "foo" is taken.

(2) is by design, because smk_parse_smack() is used
for parsing strings which are more than just a label.

Silent failure is not a good thing, and there are two
indicators that this was not done intentionally:

    (size &gt;= SMK_LONGLABEL) ~&gt; invalid

clause at the beginning of the do_setattr() and the
"Returns the length of the smack label" claim
in the do_setattr() description.

So I fixed this by adding one tiny check:
the taken label length == input length.

Since input length is now strictly controlled,
I changed the two ways of setting label

   smack_setselfattr(): lsm_set_self_attr() syscall
   smack_setprocattr(): &gt; /proc/.../current

to accommodate the divergence in
what they understand by "input length":

  smack_setselfattr counts mandatory \0 into input length,
  smack_setprocattr does not.

  smack_setprocattr allows various trailers after label

Related changes:

* fixed description for smk_parse_smack

* allow unprivileged tasks validate label syntax.

* extract smk_parse_label_len() from smk_parse_smack()
  so parsing may be done w/o string allocation.

* extract smk_import_valid_label() from smk_import_entry()
  to avoid repeated parsing.

* smk_parse_smack(): scan null-terminated strings
  for no more than SMK_LONGLABEL(256) characters

* smack_setselfattr(): require struct lsm_ctx . flags == 0
  to reserve them for future.

[ Upstream commit c147e13ea7fe9f118f8c9ba5e96cbd644b00d6b3 ]

If an unprivileged task is allowed to relabel itself
(/smack/relabel-self is not empty),
it can freely create new labels by writing their
names into own /proc/PID/attr/smack/current

This occurs because do_setattr() imports
the provided label in advance,
before checking "relabel-self" list.

This change ensures that the "relabel-self" list
is checked before importing the label.

[ Upstream commit 78fc6a94be252b27bb73e4926eed70b5e302a8e0 ]

According to [1], the label of a UNIX domain socket (UDS)
file (i.e., the filesystem object representing the socket)
is not supposed to participate in Smack security.

To achieve this, [1] labels UDS files with "*"
in smack_d_instantiate().

Before [2], smack_d_instantiate() was responsible
for initializing Smack security for all inodes,
except ones under /proc

[2] imposed the sole responsibility for initializing
inode security for newly created filesystem objects
on smack_inode_init_security().

However, smack_inode_init_security() lacks some logic
present in smack_d_instantiate().
In particular, it does not label UDS files with "*".

This patch adds the missing labeling of UDS files
with "*" to smack_inode_init_security().

Labeling UDS files with "*" in smack_d_instantiate()
still works for stale UDS files that already exist on
disk. Stale UDS files are useless, but I keep labeling
them for consistency and maybe to make easier for user
to delete them.

Compared to [1], this version introduces the following
improvements:

  * UDS file label is held inside inode only
    and not saved to xattrs.

  * relabeling UDS files (setxattr, removexattr, etc.)
    is blocked.

[ Upstream commit 195da3ff244deff119c3f5244b464b2236ea1725 ]

When a new file system object is created
and the conditions for label transmutation are met,
the SMACK64TRANSMUTE extended attribute is set
on the object regardless of its type:
file, pipe, socket, symlink, or directory.

However,
SMACK64TRANSMUTE may only be set on directories.

This bug is a combined effect of the commits [1] and [2]
which both transfer functionality
from smack_d_instantiate() to smack_inode_init_security(),
but only in part.

Commit [1] set blank  SMACK64TRANSMUTE on improper object types.
Commit [2] set "TRUE" SMACK64TRANSMUTE on improper object types.

<title>ima: don't clear IMA_DIGSIG flag when setting or removing non-IMA xattr</title>

[ Upstream commit 88b4cbcf6b041ae0f2fc8a34554a5b6a83a2b7cd ]

Currently when both IMA and EVM are in fix mode, the IMA signature will
be reset to IMA hash if a program first stores IMA signature in
security.ima and then writes/removes some other security xattr for the
file.

For example, on Fedora, after booting the kernel with "ima_appraise=fix
evm=fix ima_policy=appraise_tcb" and installing rpm-plugin-ima,
installing/reinstalling a package will not make good reference IMA
signature generated. Instead IMA hash is generated,

    # getfattr -m - -d -e hex /usr/bin/bash
    # file: usr/bin/bash
    security.ima=0x0404...

This happens because when setting security.selinux, the IMA_DIGSIG flag
that had been set early was cleared. As a result, IMA hash is generated
when the file is closed.

Similarly, IMA signature can be cleared on file close after removing
security xattr like security.evm or setting/removing ACL.

Prevent replacing the IMA file signature with a file hash, by preventing
the IMA_DIGSIG flag from being reset.

Here's a minimal C reproducer which sets security.selinux as the last
step which can also replaced by removing security.evm or setting ACL,

    #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/xattr.h&gt;
    #include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
    #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
    #include &lt;string.h&gt;
    #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;

    int main() {
        const char* file_path = "/usr/sbin/test_binary";
        const char* hex_string = "030204d33204490066306402304";
        int length = strlen(hex_string);
        char* ima_attr_value;
        int fd;

        fd = open(file_path, O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0644);
        if (fd == -1) {
            perror("Error opening file");
            return 1;
        }

        ima_attr_value = (char*)malloc(length / 2 );
        for (int i = 0, j = 0; i &lt; length; i += 2, j++) {
            sscanf(hex_string + i, "%2hhx", &amp;ima_attr_value[j]);
        }

        if (fsetxattr(fd, "security.ima", ima_attr_value, length/2, 0) == -1) {
            perror("Error setting extended attribute");
            close(fd);
            return 1;
        }

        const char* selinux_value= "system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0";
        if (fsetxattr(fd, "security.selinux", selinux_value, strlen(selinux_value), 0) == -1) {
            perror("Error setting extended attribute");
            close(fd);
            return 1;
        }

        close(fd);

        return 0;
    }
