Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] landlock: Control pathname UNIX domain socket resolution by path
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2026 21:34:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260119203457.97676-5-gnoack3000@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260119203457.97676-2-gnoack3000@gmail.com>
* Add a new access right LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX, which
controls the look up operations for named UNIX domain sockets. The
resolution happens during connect() and sendmsg() (depending on
socket type).
* Hook into the path lookup in unix_find_bsd() in af_unix.c, using a
LSM hook. Make policy decisions based on the new access rights
* Increment the Landlock ABI version.
* Minor test adaptions to keep the tests working.
In case of a denial, connect() and sendmsg() return EACCES, which is
the same error as it is returned if the user does not have the write
bit in the traditional Unix file system permissions of that file.
