Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] selinux: use socket SID for SCTP ASCONF permission checks
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 20:18:33 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260830201833.B0F751F000E9@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260830201157.2084730-1-tristmd@gmail.com>

> From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>
> 
> __selinux_socket_bind() and selinux_socket_connect_helper() call
> sock_has_perm() which uses current_sid() as the AVC subject.  When
> selinux_sctp_bind_connect() is invoked from the ASCONF processing
> path (sctp_process_asconf), current refers to whichever task was
> interrupted, so the permission check evaluates an unrelated subject.
> 
> Fix by extracting the sock_has_perm() call out of
> __selinux_socket_bind() and selinux_socket_connect_helper() into
> their callers.  The process-context wrappers (selinux_socket_bind,
> selinux_socket_connect) call sock_has_perm() directly.
> 
> For selinux_sctp_bind_connect(), determine the caller SID based on
> the optname: SCTP_PARAM_SET_PRIMARY and SCTP_PARAM_ADD_IP are ASCONF
> chunk parameter types only passed from the softirq processing path,
> so use the socket own SID (sksec->sid), consistent with other
> softirq-context hooks such as selinux_socket_sock_rcv_skb() and
> selinux_sctp_assoc_request().  All other optnames originate from
> process-context syscalls and use current_sid().
> 
> Factor out __sock_has_perm() with an explicit subject SID parameter
> so that sock_has_perm() remains unchanged for all other callers.
