Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 18/26] af_unix: use scoped_with_init_fs() for coredump socket lookup
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2026 22:44:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260311-work-kthread-nullfs-v3-18-3dd2cbe92ad0@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260311-work-kthread-nullfs-v3-0-3dd2cbe92ad0@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.
