[ Upstream commit 6cce0cc3861337b3ad8d4ac131d6e47efa0954ec ]

Since inception [1], SMACK initializes ipv* child socket security
for connection-oriented communications (tcp/sctp/dccp)
during accept() syscall, in the security_sock_graft() hook:

| void smack_sock_graft(struct sock *sk, ...)
| {
|     // only ipv4 and ipv6 are eligible here
|     // ...
|     ssp = sk-&gt;sk_security; // socket security
|     ssp-&gt;smk_in = skp;     // process label: smk_of_current()
|     ssp-&gt;smk_out = skp;    // process label: smk_of_current()
| }

This approach is incorrect for two reasons:

A) initialization occurs too late for child socket security:

   The child socket is created by the kernel once the handshake
   completes (e.g., for tcp: after receiving ack for syn+ack).

   Data can legitimately start arriving to the child socket
   immediately, long before the application calls accept()
   on the socket.

   Those data are (currently — were) processed by SMACK using
   incorrect child socket security attributes.

B) Incoming connection requests are handled using the listening
   socket's security, hence, the child socket must inherit the
   listening socket's security attributes.

   smack_sock_graft() initilizes the child socket's security with
   a process label, as is done for a new socket()

   But ... the process label is not necessarily the same as the
   listening socket label. A privileged application may legitimately
   set other in/out labels for a listening socket.

   When this happens, SMACK processes incoming packets using
   incorrect socket security attributes.

In [2] Michael Lontke noticed (A) and fixed it in [3] by adding
socket initialization into security_sk_clone_security() hook like

| void smack_sk_clone_security(struct sock *oldsk, struct sock *newsk)
| {
|    *(struct socket_smack *)newsk-&gt;sk_security =
|    *(struct socket_smack *)oldsk-&gt;sk_security;
| }

This initializes the child socket security with the parent (listening)
socket security at the appropriate time.

I was forced to revisit this old story because

smack_sock_graft() was left in place by [3] and continues overwriting
the child socket's labels with the process label,
and there might be a reason for this, so I undertook a study.

If the process label differs from the listening socket's labels,
the following occurs for ipv4:

assigning the smk_out is not accompanied by netlbl_sock_setattr,
so the outgoing packet's cipso label does not change.

So, the only effect of this assignment for interhost communications
is a divergence between the program-visible “out” socket label and
the cipso network label. For intrahost communications this label,
however, becomes visible via secmark netfilter marking, and is
checked for access rights by the client, receiving side.

Assigning the smk_in affects both interhost and intrahost
communications: the server begins to check access rights against
an wrong label.

Access check against wrong label (smk_in or smk_out),
unsurprisingly fails, breaking the connection.

The above affects protocols that calls security_sock_graft()
during accept(), namely: {tcp,dccp,sctp}/{ipv4,ipv6}
One extra security_sock_graft() caller, crypto/af_alg.c`af_alg_accept
is not affected, because smack_sock_graft() does nothing for PF_ALG.

To reproduce, assign non-default in/out labels to a listening socket,
setup rules between these labels and client label, attempt to connect
and send some data.

Ipv6 specific: ipv6 packets do not convey SMACK labels. To reproduce
the issue in interhost communications set opposite labels in
/smack/ipv6host on both hosts.
Ipv6 intrahost communications do not require tricking, because SMACK
labels are conveyed via secmark netfilter marking.

So, currently smack_sock_graft() is not useful, but harmful,
therefore, I have removed it.

This fixes the issue for {tcp,dccp}/{ipv4,ipv6},
but not sctp/{ipv4,ipv6}.

Although this change is necessary for sctp+smack to function
correctly, it is not sufficient because:
sctp/ipv4 does not call security_sk_clone() and
sctp/ipv6 ignores SMACK completely.

These are separate issues, belong to other subsystem,
and should be addressed separately.

[ Upstream commit bfcf4004bcbce2cb674b4e8dbd31ce0891766bac ]

I want to be sure that ipv6-specific code
is not compiled in kernel binaries
if ipv6 is not configured.

[1] was getting rid of "unused variable" warning, but,
with that, it also mandated compilation of a handful ipv6-
specific functions in ipv4-only kernel configurations:

smk_ipv6_localhost, smack_ipv6host_label, smk_ipv6_check.

Their compiled bodies are likely to be removed by compiler
from the resulting binary, but, to be on the safe side,
I remove them from the compiler view.

<title>keys: Fix UAF in key_put()</title>

Once a key's reference count has been reduced to 0, the garbage collector
thread may destroy it at any time and so key_put() is not allowed to touch
the key after that point.  The most key_put() is normally allowed to do is
to touch key_gc_work as that's a static global variable.

However, in an effort to speed up the reclamation of quota, this is now
done in key_put() once the key's usage is reduced to 0 - but now the code
is looking at the key after the deadline, which is forbidden.

Fix this by using a flag to indicate that a key can be gc'd now rather than
looking at the key's refcount in the garbage collector.

Use sk_is_tcp() to check if socket is TCP in bind(2) and connect(2)
hooks.

SMC, MPTCP, SCTP protocols are currently restricted by TCP access
rights.  The purpose of TCP access rights is to provide control over
ports that can be used by userland to establish a TCP connection.
Therefore, it is incorrect to deny bind(2) and connect(2) requests for a
socket of another protocol.

However, SMC, MPTCP and RDS implementations use TCP internal sockets to
establish communication or even to exchange packets over a TCP
connection [1]. Landlock rules that configure bind(2) and connect(2)
usage for TCP sockets should not cover requests for sockets of such
protocols. These protocols have different set of security issues and
security properties, therefore, it is necessary to provide the userland
with the ability to distinguish between them (eg. [2]).

Control over TCP connection used by other protocols can be achieved with
upcoming support of socket creation control [3].

<title>ima: Reset IMA_NONACTION_RULE_FLAGS after post_setattr</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 0d73a55208e9 ("ima: re-introduce own integrity cache lock")
mistakenly reverted the performance improvement introduced in commit
42a4c603198f0 ("ima: fix ima_inode_post_setattr"). The unused bit mask was
subsequently removed by commit 11c60f23ed13 ("integrity: Remove unused
macro IMA_ACTION_RULE_FLAGS").

Restore the performance improvement by introducing the new mask
IMA_NONACTION_RULE_FLAGS, equal to IMA_NONACTION_FLAGS without
IMA_NEW_FILE, which is not a rule-specific flag.

Finally, reset IMA_NONACTION_RULE_FLAGS instead of IMA_NONACTION_FLAGS in
process_measurement(), if the IMA_CHANGE_ATTR atomic flag is set (after
file metadata modification).

With this patch, new files for which metadata were modified while they are
still open, can be reopened before the last file close (when security.ima
is written), since the IMA_NEW_FILE flag is not cleared anymore. Otherwise,
appraisal fails because security.ima is missing (files with IMA_NEW_FILE
set are an exception).
