mainlining shenanigans
82c9a927bc
When running in a container with a user namespace, if you call getxattr
with name = "system.posix_acl_access" and size % 8 != 4, then getxattr
silently skips the user namespace fixup that it normally does resulting in
un-fixed-up data being returned.
This is caused by posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user() being passed the total
buffer size and not the actual size of the xattr as returned by
vfs_getxattr().
This commit passes the actual length of the xattr as returned by
vfs_getxattr() down.
A reproducer for the issue is:
touch acl_posix
setfacl -m user:0:rwx acl_posix
and the compile:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <attr/xattr.h>
/* Run in user namespace with nsuid 0 mapped to uid != 0 on the host. */
int main(int argc, void **argv)
{
ssize_t ret1, ret2;
char buf1[128], buf2[132];
int fret = EXIT_SUCCESS;
char *file;
if (argc < 2) {
fprintf(stderr,
"Please specify a file with "
"\"system.posix_acl_access\" permissions set\n");
_exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
file = argv[1];
ret1 = getxattr(file, "system.posix_acl_access",
buf1, sizeof(buf1));
if (ret1 < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s - Failed to retrieve "
"\"system.posix_acl_access\" "
"from \"%s\"\n", strerror(errno), file);
_exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
ret2 = getxattr(file, "system.posix_acl_access",
buf2, sizeof(buf2));
if (ret2 < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s - Failed to retrieve "
"\"system.posix_acl_access\" "
"from \"%s\"\n", strerror(errno), file);
_exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
if (ret1 != ret2) {
fprintf(stderr, "The value of \"system.posix_acl_"
"access\" for file \"%s\" changed "
"between two successive calls\n", file);
_exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
for (ssize_t i = 0; i < ret2; i++) {
if (buf1[i] == buf2[i])
continue;
fprintf(stderr,
"Unexpected different in byte %zd: "
"%02x != %02x\n", i, buf1[i], buf2[i]);
fret = EXIT_FAILURE;
}
if (fret == EXIT_SUCCESS)
fprintf(stderr, "Test passed\n");
else
fprintf(stderr, "Test failed\n");
_exit(fret);
}
and run:
./tester acl_posix
On a non-fixed up kernel this should return something like:
root@c1:/# ./t
Unexpected different in byte 16: ffffffa0 != 00
Unexpected different in byte 17: ffffff86 != 00
Unexpected different in byte 18: 01 != 00
and on a fixed kernel:
root@c1:~# ./t
Test passed

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
