Ok, I noticed that current policy in tests gives exec permission to
mounter for ro_t file and that's why inode_permission(MAY_EXEC) does
not fail.
can_exec(test_overlay_mounter_t, test_overlay_files_ro_t)
Talked to Dan and he mentioned that he was trying to test entrypoint
failure (and not exec failure) and that's whey he might have allowed exec
to mounter.
I think that current entrypoint test's expectations are wrong.
User process sees overlay inode lablel which is rwx_t and that means
overlay layer will allow entrypoint into that executable. This will be the
behavior on a normal file system where underlying file's label will be
completely overridden by context=.
So in my opinion, we should modify testsuite and not run this test with
context= mounts.
Only little thing to argue is that should we check if mounter has the
permission for this entrypoint. And currently SELinux checks are not
two level checks. So this can be implemented once SELinux is made
aware of multiple levels (if we ever do that).
Thanks

Vivek and I talked, and I believe the SELinux check on Entrypoint is
wrong.? We should be checking on the overlay context not on the lower
level label for entrypoint.
A little back ground.? Entrypoint check is looking at the target domain
whether it can be entered via the executable.
For example we might have a label like apache_t and apache_exec_t, we
would write a rules like:
allow apache_t apache_exec_t:file entrypoint.
allow user_t apache_t:process transition
allow user_t apache_file_t:file execute
allow user_t bin_t:file execute
These rules say a process running as user_t can execute files labeles
apache_exec_t and bin_t.? It also says that the user_t type can
transition or start a process as apache_t, BUT since we have the
entrypoint rule, the only type that user_t can transition to apache_t is
the apache_exec_t type.
This would prevent user_t from executing something like
runcon -t apache_t /bin/sh
In the case of these tests currently SELinux is verifying that the
mounter is able to mount a directory with a different label rwx_t, and
then providing the user with content via this label. So the entrypoint
check should happen on the new context label, not on the lower label.?
We need to fix the SELinux test suite to reflect the new behaviour.? I
think the current test and current code is actually a bug.
would say that the apache_t process type can be entered via
