Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] selinux: use socket SID for SCTP ASCONF permission checks
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 20:18:33 +0000 [thread overview]

> __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.
