Currently, SELinux doesn't allow distinguishing between kernel threads
and userspace processes that are started before the policy is first
loaded - both get the label corresponding to the kernel SID. The only
way a process that persists from early boot can get a meaningful label
is by doing a voluntary dyntransition or re-executing itself.
Reusing the kernel label for userspace processes is problematic for
several reasons:
1. The kernel is considered to be a privileged domain and generally
needs to have a wide range of permissions allowed to work correctly,
which prevents the policy writer from effectively hardening against
early boot processes that might remain running unintentionally after
the policy is loaded (they represent a potential extra attack surface
that should be mitigated).
2. Despite the kernel being treated as a privileged domain, the policy
writer may want to impose certain special limitations on kernel
threads that may conflict with the requirements of intentional early
boot processes. For example, it is a good hardening practice to limit
what executables the kernel can execute as usermode helpers and to
confine the resulting usermode helper processes. However, a
(legitimate) process surviving from early boot may need to execute a
different set of executables.
3. As currently implemented, overlayfs remembers the security context of
the process that created an overlayfs mount and uses it to bound
subsequent operations on files using this context. If an overlayfs
mount is created before the SELinux policy is loaded, these "mounter"
checks are made against the kernel context, which may clash with
restrictions on the kernel domain (see 2.).
To resolve this, introduce a new initial SID (reusing the slot of the
former "init" initial SID) that will be assigned to any userspace
process started before the policy is first loaded. This is easy to do,
as we can simply label any process that goes through the
bprm_creds_for_exec LSM hook with the new init-SID instead of
propagating the kernel SID from the parent.
To provide backwards compatibility for existing policies that are
unaware of this new semantic of the "init" initial SID, introduce a new
policy capability "userspace_initial_context" and set the "init" SID to
the same context as the "kernel" SID unless this capability is set by
the policy.
Another small backwards compatibility measure is needed in
security_sid_to_context_core() for before the initial SELinux policy
load - see the code comment for explanation.

In the process of reverting back to directly accessing the global

Currently, when an NFS filesystem that supports passing LSM/SELinux
labels is mounted during early boot (before the SELinux policy is
loaded), it ends up mounted without the labeling support (i.e. with
Fedora policy all files get the generic NFS label
system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0).
This is because the information that the NFS mount supports passing
labels (communicated to the LSM layer via the kern_flags argument of
security_set_mnt_opts()) gets lost and when the policy is loaded the
mount is initialized as if the passing is not supported.
Fix this by noting the "native labeling" in newsbsec->flags (using a new
SE_SBNATIVE flag) on the pre-policy-loaded call of
selinux_set_mnt_opts() and then making sure it is respected on the
second call from delayed_superblock_init().
Additionally, make inode_doinit_with_dentry() initialize the inode's
label from its extended attributes whenever it doesn't find it already
intitialized by the filesystem. This is needed to properly initialize
pre-existing inodes when delayed_superblock_init() is called. It should
not trigger in any other cases (and if it does, it's still better to
initialize the correct label instead of leaving the inode unlabeled).

After working with the larger SELinux-based distros for several
years, we're finally at a place where we can disable the SELinux
runtime disable functionality. The existing kernel deprecation
notice explains the functionality and why we want to remove it:
The selinuxfs "disable" node allows SELinux to be disabled at
runtime prior to a policy being loaded into the kernel. If
disabled via this mechanism, SELinux will remain disabled until
the system is rebooted.
The preferred method of disabling SELinux is via the "selinux=0"
boot parameter, but the selinuxfs "disable" node was created to
make it easier for systems with primitive bootloaders that did not
allow for easy modification of the kernel command line.
Unfortunately, allowing for SELinux to be disabled at runtime makes
it difficult to secure the kernel's LSM hooks using the
"__ro_after_init" feature.
It is that last sentence, mentioning the '__ro_after_init' hardening,
which is the real motivation for this change, and if you look at the
diffstat you'll see that the impact of this patch reaches across all
the different LSMs, helping prevent tampering at the LSM hook level.
From a SELinux perspective, it is important to note that if you
continue to disable SELinux via "/etc/selinux/config" it may appear
that SELinux is disabled, but it is simply in an uninitialized state.
If you load a policy with `load_policy -i`, you will see SELinux
come alive just as if you had loaded the policy during early-boot.
It is also worth noting that the "/sys/fs/selinux/disable" file is
always writable now, regardless of the Kconfig settings, but writing
to the file has no effect on the system, other than to display an
error on the console if a non-zero/true value is written.
Finally, in the several years where we have been working on
deprecating this functionality, there has only been one instance of
someone mentioning any user visible breakage. In this particular
case it was an individual's kernel test system, and the workaround
documented in the deprecation notice ("selinux=0" on the kernel
command line) resolved the issue without problem.

We originally promised that the SELinux 'checkreqprot' functionality
would be removed no sooner than June 2021, and now that it is March
2023 it seems like it is a good time to do the final removal. The
deprecation notice in the kernel provides plenty of detail on why
'checkreqprot' is not desirable, with the key point repeated below:
This was a compatibility mechanism for legacy userspace and
for the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. However, if set to
1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be made executable
without authorization by policy. The default value of checkreqprot
at boot was changed starting in Linux v4.4 to 0 (i.e. check the
actual protection), and Android and Linux distributions have been
explicitly writing a "0" to /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot during
initialization for some time.
Along with the official deprecation notice, we have been discussing
this on-list and directly with several of the larger SELinux-based
distros and everyone is happy to see this feature finally removed.
In an attempt to catch all of the smaller, and DIY, Linux systems
we have been writing a deprecation notice URL into the kernel log,
along with a growing ssleep() penalty, when admins enabled
checkreqprot at runtime or via the kernel command line. We have
yet to have anyone come to us and raise an objection to the
deprecation or planned removal.
It is worth noting that while this patch removes the checkreqprot
functionality, it leaves the user visible interfaces (kernel command
line and selinuxfs file) intact, just inert. This should help
prevent breakages with existing userspace tools that correctly, but
unnecessarily, disable checkreqprot at boot or runtime. Admins
that attempt to enable checkreqprot will be met with a removal
message in the kernel log.

Linus observed that the pervasive passing of selinux_state pointers
introduced by me in commit aa8e712cee ("selinux: wrap global selinux
state") adds overhead and complexity without providing any
benefit. The original idea was to pave the way for SELinux namespaces
but those have not yet been implemented and there isn't currently
a concrete plan to do so. Remove the passing of the selinux_state
pointers, reverting to direct use of the single global selinux_state,
and likewise remove passing of child pointers like the selinux_avc.
The selinux_policy pointer remains as it is needed for atomic switching
of policies.

Pull LSM updates from Paul Moore:
"Seven patches for the LSM layer and we've got a mix of trivial and
significant patches. Highlights below, starting with the smaller bits
first so they don't get lost in the discussion of the larger items:
- Remove some redundant NULL pointer checks in the common LSM audit
code.
- Ratelimit the lockdown LSM's access denial messages.
With this change there is a chance that the last visible lockdown
message on the console is outdated/old, but it does help preserve
the initial series of lockdown denials that started the denial
message flood and my gut feeling is that these might be the more
valuable messages.
- Open userfaultfds as readonly instead of read/write.
While this code obviously lives outside the LSM, it does have a
noticeable impact on the LSMs with Ondrej explaining the situation
in the commit description. It is worth noting that this patch
languished on the VFS list for over a year without any comments
(objections or otherwise) so I took the liberty of pulling it into
the LSM tree after giving fair notice. It has been in linux-next
since the end of August without any noticeable problems.
- Add a LSM hook for user namespace creation, with implementations
for both the BPF LSM and SELinux.
Even though the changes are fairly small, this is the bulk of the
diffstat as we are also including BPF LSM selftests for the new
hook.
It's also the most contentious of the changes in this pull request
with Eric Biederman NACK'ing the LSM hook multiple times during its
development and discussion upstream. While I've never taken NACK's
lightly, I'm sending these patches to you because it is my belief
that they are of good quality, satisfy a long-standing need of
users and distros, and are in keeping with the existing nature of
the LSM layer and the Linux Kernel as a whole.
The patches in implement a LSM hook for user namespace creation
that allows for a granular approach, configurable at runtime, which
enables both monitoring and control of user namespaces. The general
consensus has been that this is far preferable to the other
solutions that have been adopted downstream including outright
removal from the kernel, disabling via system wide sysctls, or
various other out-of-tree mechanisms that users have been forced to
adopt since we haven't been able to provide them an upstream
solution for their requests. Eric has been steadfast in his
objections to this LSM hook, explaining that any restrictions on
the user namespace could have significant impact on userspace.
While there is the possibility of impacting userspace, it is
important to note that this solution only impacts userspace when it
is requested based on the runtime configuration supplied by the
distro/admin/user. Frederick (the pathset author), the LSM/security
community, and myself have tried to work with Eric during
development of this patchset to find a mutually acceptable
solution, but Eric's approach and unwillingness to engage in a
meaningful way have made this impossible. I have CC'd Eric directly
on this pull request so he has a chance to provide his side of the
story; there have been no objections outside of Eric's"

permission to restrict which domains allow or deny user namespace
creation. This is necessary for system administrators to quickly protect

This permission can be used in the following way:

Unfortunately commit 81200b0265 ("selinux: checkreqprot is
deprecated, add some ssleep() discomfort") added a five second sleep
during early kernel boot, e.g. start_kernel(), which could cause a
"scheduling while atomic" panic. This patch fixes this problem by
moving the sleep out of checkreqprot_set() and into
sel_write_checkreqprot() so that we only sleep when the checkreqprot
setting is set during runtime, after the kernel has booted. The
error message remains the same in both cases.

The checkreqprot functionality was disabled by default back in
Linux v4.4 (2015) with commit 2a35d196c1 ("selinux: change
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE default") and it was
officially marked as deprecated in Linux v5.7. It was always a
bit of a hack to workaround very old userspace and to the best of
our knowledge, the checkreqprot functionality has been disabled by
Linux distributions for quite some time.
This patch moves the deprecation messages from KERN_WARNING to
KERN_ERR and adds a five second sleep to anyone using it to help
draw their attention to the deprecation and provide a URL which
helps explain things in more detail.

The SELinux policy capability enum names are rather long and follow
the "POLICYDB_CAPABILITY_XXX format". While the "POLICYDB_" prefix
is helpful in tying the enums to other SELinux policy constants,
macros, etc. there is no reason why we need to spell out
"CAPABILITY" completely. Shorten "CAPABILITY" to "CAP" in order to
make things a bit shorter and cleaner.
Moving forward, the SELinux policy capability enum names should
follow the "POLICYDB_CAP_XXX" format.

These ioctls are equivalent to fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, flags), which SELinux
always allows too. Furthermore, a failed FIOCLEX could result in a file
descriptor being leaked to a process that should not have access to it.
As this patch removes access controls, a policy capability needs to be
enabled in policy to always allow these ioctls.

Enclose the macro arguments in parenthesis to avoid potential evaluation
order issues.
Note the xperm and ebitmap macros are still not side-effect safe due to
double evaluation.

This patch is to move secid and peer_secid from endpoint to association,
and pass asoc to sctp_assoc_request and sctp_sk_clone instead of ep. As
ep is the local endpoint and asoc represents a connection, and in SCTP
one sk/ep could have multiple asoc/connection, saving secid/peer_secid
for new asoc will overwrite the old asoc's.
Note that since asoc can be passed as NULL, security_sctp_assoc_request()
is moved to the place right after the new_asoc is created in
sctp_sf_do_5_1B_init() and sctp_sf_do_unexpected_init().
v1->v2:
- fix the description of selinux_netlbl_skbuff_setsid(), as Jakub noticed.
- fix the annotation in selinux_sctp_assoc_request(), as Richard Noticed.

NOTE: This patch intentionally omits any "Fixes:" metadata or stable
tagging since it removes a SELinux access control check; while
removing the control point is the right thing to do moving forward,
removing it in stable kernels could be seen as a regression.
The original SELinux lockdown implementation in 59438b4647
("security,lockdown,selinux: implement SELinux lockdown") used the
current task's credentials as both the subject and object in the
SELinux lockdown hook, selinux_lockdown(). Unfortunately that
proved to be incorrect in a number of cases as the core kernel was
calling the LSM lockdown hook in places where the credentials from
the "current" task_struct were not the correct credentials to use
in the SELinux access check.
Attempts were made to resolve this by adding a credential pointer
to the LSM lockdown hook as well as suggesting that the single hook
be split into two: one for user tasks, one for kernel tasks; however
neither approach was deemed acceptable by Linus. Faced with the
prospect of either changing the subj/obj in the access check to a
constant context (likely the kernel's label) or removing the SELinux
lockdown check entirely, the SELinux community decided that removing
the lockdown check was preferable.
The supporting changes to the general LSM layer are left intact, this
patch only removes the SELinux implementation.

This patch implements two new io_uring access controls, specifically
support for controlling the io_uring "personalities" and
IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL. Controlling the sharing of io_urings themselves
is handled via the normal file/inode labeling and sharing mechanisms.
The io_uring { override_creds } permission restricts which domains
the subject domain can use to override it's own credentials.
Granting a domain the io_uring { override_creds } permission allows
it to impersonate another domain in io_uring operations.
The io_uring { sqpoll } permission restricts which domains can create
asynchronous io_uring polling threads. This is important from a
security perspective as operations queued by this asynchronous thread
inherit the credentials of the thread creator by default; if an
io_uring is shared across process/domain boundaries this could result
in one domain impersonating another. Controlling the creation of
sqpoll threads, and the sharing of io_urings across processes, allow
policy authors to restrict the ability of one domain to impersonate
another via io_uring.
As a quick summary, this patch adds a new object class with two
permissions:
io_uring { override_creds sqpoll }
These permissions can be seen in the two simple policy statements
below:
allow domA_t domB_t : io_uring { override_creds };
allow domA_t self : io_uring { sqpoll };
