Subject: [PATCH 5.15] fscrypt: use the mount idmap for the owner check in fscrypt_ioctl_set_policy()
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 11:40:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818184052.80142-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Zhan Xusheng <zhanxusheng@xiaomi.com>
commit cf6c993c0feca7984797e634deba3c80342e199a upstream.
fscrypt_ioctl_set_policy() calls inode_owner_or_capable() with
&nop_mnt_idmap before allowing an encryption policy to be set, instead
of the idmap of the mount the ioctl was issued on.
fscrypt is used by filesystems that support idmapped mounts (e.g. ext4,
f2fs), so on such a mount this compares the caller's fsuid against the
unmapped on-disk owner rather than the mapped owner: the actual owner
can be wrongly denied with -EACCES and an unrelated caller wrongly
allowed. Use file_mnt_idmap(filp) instead.
Fixes: 14f3db5542e6 ("ext4: support idmapped mounts")
