If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stephen Smalley commit 442d27ff09a218b61020ab56387dbc508ad6bfa6 upstream. When security labeling is enabled, the client can pass a file security label as part of a create operation for the new file, similar to mode and other attributes. At present, the security label is received by nfsd and passed down to nfsd_create_setattr(), but nfsd_setattr() is never called and therefore the label is never set on the new file. This bug may have been introduced on or around commit d6a97d3f589a ("NFSD: add security label to struct nfsd_attrs"). Looking at nfsd_setattr() I am uncertain as to whether the same issue presents for file ACLs and therefore requires a similar fix for those. An alternative approach would be to introduce a new LSM hook to set the "create SID" of the current task prior to the actual file creation, which would atomically label the new inode at creation time. This would be better for SELinux and a similar approach has been used previously (see security_dentry_create_files_as) but perhaps not usable by other LSMs. Reproducer: 1. Install a Linux distro with SELinux - Fedora is easiest 2. git clone https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux-testsuite 3. Install the requisite dependencies per selinux-testsuite/README.md 4. Run something like the following script: MOUNT=$HOME/selinux-testsuite sudo systemctl start nfs-server sudo exportfs -o rw,no_root_squash,security_label localhost:$MOUNT sudo mkdir -p /mnt/selinux-testsuite sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=4.2 localhost:$MOUNT /mnt/selinux-testsuite pushd /mnt/selinux-testsuite/ sudo make -C policy load pushd tests/filesystem sudo runcon -t test_filesystem_t ./create_file -f trans_test_file \ -e test_filesystem_filetranscon_t -v sudo rm -f trans_test_file popd sudo make -C policy unload popd sudo umount /mnt/selinux-testsuite sudo exportfs -u localhost:$MOUNT sudo rmdir /mnt/selinux-testsuite sudo systemctl stop nfs-server Expected output: Process context: unconfined_u:unconfined_r:test_filesystem_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Created file: trans_test_file File context: unconfined_u:object_r:test_filesystem_filetranscon_t:s0 File context is correct Actual output: Process context: unconfined_u:unconfined_r:test_filesystem_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Created file: trans_test_file File context: system_u:object_r:test_file_t:s0 File context error, expected: test_filesystem_filetranscon_t got: test_file_t Signed-off-by: Stephen Smalley Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton Reviewed-by: NeilBrown Stable-dep-of: 913f7cf77bf1 ("NFSD: NFSv4 file creation neglects setting ACL") Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- fs/nfsd/vfs.c | 2 +- fs/nfsd/vfs.h | 8 ++++++++ 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/fs/nfsd/vfs.c +++ b/fs/nfsd/vfs.c @@ -1379,7 +1379,7 @@ nfsd_create_setattr(struct svc_rqst *rqs * Callers expect new file metadata to be committed even * if the attributes have not changed. */ - if (iap->ia_valid) + if (nfsd_attrs_valid(attrs)) status = nfsd_setattr(rqstp, resfhp, attrs, NULL); else status = nfserrno(commit_metadata(resfhp)); --- a/fs/nfsd/vfs.h +++ b/fs/nfsd/vfs.h @@ -60,6 +60,14 @@ static inline void nfsd_attrs_free(struc posix_acl_release(attrs->na_dpacl); } +static inline bool nfsd_attrs_valid(struct nfsd_attrs *attrs) +{ + struct iattr *iap = attrs->na_iattr; + + return (iap->ia_valid || (attrs->na_seclabel && + attrs->na_seclabel->len)); +} + __be32 nfserrno (int errno); int nfsd_cross_mnt(struct svc_rqst *rqstp, struct dentry **dpp, struct svc_export **expp);
