Subject: [PATCH] landlock: Require LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG for whiteout
 creation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Whiteout objects are used in the upper layer of an OverlayFS to
indicate that the file with this name does not exist in the unified
view, even if it is present in one of the lower layer file systems.

For the userspace implementations of OverlayFS (fuse-overlayfs),
whiteout objects can be created from userspace as well:

* mknod(2) with S_IFCHR and makedev(0, 0)
* renameat2(2) with RENAME_WHITEOUT,
  creating the whiteout in the old place of the moved file.

This commit guards whiteout creation in both of these cases with
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG.  Whiteout objects are *not* considered
character devices and are not bound to a driver.

LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG describes the same permission class as a
whiteout object: creating one is the only S_IFCHR creation that the VFS
exempts from CAP_MKNOD, so it is as unprivileged as creating a regular
file, while LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_CHAR and
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_BLOCK keep meaning the creation of devices that
expose a kernel interface [1].

For the mknod(2) case, introduce a Landlock erratum.  The creation of
whiteout objects through mknod(2) was previously guarded using
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_CHAR, and it is now guarded using
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG.

For the renameat2(2) case, fix a bug: Before this commit, renameat2(2)
with RENAME_WHITEOUT would create a directory entry even when all
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_* rights were denied.

This does not affect normal renames within layered OverlayFS mounts:
When doing a regular rename() on a mounted fuse-overlayfs, it is the
fuse-overlayfs daemon that exercises renameat2() with RENAME_WHITEOUT,
and only the Landlock domain of that daemon is checked there.

Queued for 6.1, thanks. Note: 6.1 is missing 49c9e09d9610 ("landlock: Fix
handling of disconnected directories"), one of the two prerequisites this
commit's own message names -- 6.12 and 6.6 already carry it. The whiteout
check itself is still correct and worth having, but if a disconnected/
bind-mounted directory is involved on 6.1 specifically the enforcement may
not be reliable yet. Could you send 49c9e09d9610 as a follow-up for 6.1.y?

Hi Sasha,

These dependencies are indeed required to properly apply the patch, and
they are in fact fixes too (that failed to apply without changes).  I'm
preparing a few backported patches (including these dependencies) that
I'll send this week.

[ Upstream commit 49c9e09d961025b22e61ef9ad56aa1c21b6ce2f1 ]

Disconnected files or directories can appear when they are visible and
opened from a bind mount, but have been renamed or moved from the source
of the bind mount in a way that makes them inaccessible from the mount
point (i.e. out of scope).

Previously, access rights tied to files or directories opened through a
disconnected directory were collected by walking the related hierarchy
down to the root of the filesystem, without taking into account the
mount point because it couldn't be found. This could lead to
inconsistent access results, potential access right widening, and
hard-to-debug renames, especially since such paths cannot be printed.

For a sandboxed task to create a disconnected directory, it needs to
have write access (i.e. FS_MAKE_REG, FS_REMOVE_FILE, and FS_REFER) to
the underlying source of the bind mount, and read access to the related
mount point.   Because a sandboxed task cannot acquire more access
rights than those defined by its Landlock domain, this could lead to
inconsistent access rights due to missing permissions that should be
inherited from the mount point hierarchy, while inheriting permissions
from the filesystem hierarchy hidden by this mount point instead.

Landlock now handles files and directories opened from disconnected
directories by taking into account the filesystem hierarchy when the
mount point is not found in the hierarchy walk, and also always taking
into account the mount point from which these disconnected directories
were opened.  This ensures that a rename is not allowed if it would
widen access rights [1].

The rationale is that, even if disconnected hierarchies might not be
visible or accessible to a sandboxed task, relying on the collected
access rights from them improves the guarantee that access rights will
not be widened during a rename because of the access right comparison
between the source and the destination (see LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER).
It may look like this would grant more access on disconnected files and
directories, but the security policies are always enforced for all the
evaluated hierarchies.  This new behavior should be less surprising to
users and safer from an access control perspective.

Remove a wrong WARN_ON_ONCE() canary in collect_domain_accesses() and
fix the related comment.

Because opened files have their access rights stored in the related file
security properties, there is no impact for disconnected or unlinked
files.

[ Upstream commit a18ee3f31fd714173a62515d049d77e76ab55649 ]

This adds tests for the edge case discussed in [1], with specific ones
for rename and link operations when the operands are through
disconnected paths, as that go through a separate code path in Landlock.

This has resulted in a warning, due to collect_domain_accesses() not
expecting to reach a different root from path->mnt:

  #            OK  layout1_bind.path_disconnected

Move the const char definitions a bit above so that we can use the path
for s4d1 in cleanup code.

[ Upstream commit 54f9baf537b0a091adad860ec92e3e18e0a0754c ]

Test disconnected directories with two test suites
(layout4_disconnected_leafs and layout5_disconnected_branch) and 43
variants to cover the main corner cases.

These tests are complementary to the previous commit.

Add test_renameat() and test_exchangeat() helpers.

Test coverage for security/landlock is 92.1% of 1927 lines according to
LLVM 20.

[ Upstream commit ee890889b30b22f9a21636061def7a04e4f89380 ]

Add tests to check that whiteout object creation is guarded by
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG, in the cases where these are created from
userspace:

* Conventional creation with mknod()
* Linking or renaming an existing whiteout object
* renameat2() with RENAME_WHITEOUT,
  which creates a new whiteout object in the source location
* renameat2() with RENAME_EXCHANGE,
  with one of the renamed objects being a whiteout object

Queued for 6.1, thanks. It also closes the gap where 6.1 shipped erratum
4 without erratum 3.

From: Günther Noack <gnoack@google.com>

[ Upstream commit ee890889b30b22f9a21636061def7a04e4f89380 ]

Add tests to check that whiteout object creation is guarded by
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG, in the cases where these are created from
userspace:

* Conventional creation with mknod()
* Linking or renaming an existing whiteout object
* renameat2() with RENAME_WHITEOUT,
  which creates a new whiteout object in the source location
* renameat2() with RENAME_EXCHANGE,
  with one of the renamed objects being a whiteout object
