Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 14/23] af_unix: use scoped_with_init_fs() for coredump socket lookup
Date: Fri, 06 Mar 2026 00:30:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306-work-kthread-nullfs-v2-14-ad1b4bed7d3e@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260306-work-kthread-nullfs-v2-0-ad1b4bed7d3e@kernel.org>
Use scoped_with_init_fs() to temporarily override current->fs for the
coredump unix socket path resolution. This replaces the init_root() +
vfs_path_lookup() pattern with scoped_with_init_fs() + kern_path().
The old code used LOOKUP_BENEATH to confine the lookup beneath init's
root. This is dropped because the coredump socket path is absolute and
resolved from root (where ".." is a no-op), and LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS
already blocks any symlink-based escape. LOOKUP_BENEATH was redundant
in this context.
unix_find_bsd(SOCK_COREDUMP) ← coredump_sock_connect() ← do_coredump() —
same crashing userspace process
Same security rationale as coredump.
