2024-05-13landlock: Add IOCTL access right for character and block devicesGravatar Günther Noack 3-5/+224
Introduces the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_IOCTL_DEV right and increments the Landlock ABI version to 5. This access right applies to device-custom IOCTL commands when they are invoked on block or character device files. Like the truncate right, this right is associated with a file descriptor at the time of open(2), and gets respected even when the file descriptor is used outside of the thread which it was originally opened in. Therefore, a newly enabled Landlock policy does not apply to file descriptors which are already open. If the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_IOCTL_DEV right is handled, only a small number of safe IOCTL commands will be permitted on newly opened device files. These include FIOCLEX, FIONCLEX, FIONBIO and FIOASYNC, as well as other IOCTL commands for regular files which are implemented in fs/ioctl.c. Noteworthy scenarios which require special attention: TTY devices are often passed into a process from the parent process, and so a newly enabled Landlock policy does not retroactively apply to them automatically. In the past, TTY devices have often supported IOCTL commands like TIOCSTI and some TIOCLINUX subcommands, which were letting callers control the TTY input buffer (and simulate keypresses). This should be restricted to CAP_SYS_ADMIN programs on modern kernels though. Known limitations: The LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_IOCTL_DEV access right is a coarse-grained control over IOCTL commands. Landlock users may use path-based restrictions in combination with their knowledge about the file system layout to control what IOCTLs can be done.

2024-03-08landlock: Use f_cred in security_file_open() hookGravatar Mickaël Salaün 1-7/+11
Use landlock_cred(file->f_cred)->domain instead of landlock_get_current_domain() in security_file_open() hook implementation. This should not change the current behavior but could avoid potential race conditions in case of current task's credentials change. This will also ensure consistency with upcoming audit support relying on file->f_cred. Add and use a new get_fs_domain() helper to mask non-filesystem domains. file->f_cred is set by path_openat()/alloc_empty_file()/init_file() just before calling security_file_alloc().

Because sandboxing can be used as an opportunistic security measure, user space may not log unsupported features. Let the system administrator know if an application tries to use Landlock but failed because it isn't enabled at boot time. This may be caused by boot loader configurations with outdated "lsm" kernel's command-line parameter.

2024-02-27landlock: Add support for KUnit testsGravatar Mickaël Salaün 4-0/+255
Add the SECURITY_LANDLOCK_KUNIT_TEST option to enable KUnit tests for Landlock. The minimal required configuration is listed in the security/landlock/.kunitconfig file. Add an initial landlock_fs KUnit test suite with 7 test cases for filesystem helpers. These are related to the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER right. There is one KUnit test case per: * mutated state (e.g. test_scope_to_request_*) or, * shared state between tests (e.g. test_is_eaccess_*). Add macros to improve readability of tests (i.e. one per line). Test cases are collocated with the tested functions to help maintenance and improve documentation. This is why SECURITY_LANDLOCK_KUNIT_TEST cannot be set as module. This is a nice complement to Landlock's user space kselftests. We expect new Landlock features to come with KUnit tests as well.

2024-02-26landlock: Fix asymmetric private inodes referringGravatar Mickaël Salaün 1-2/+2
When linking or renaming a file, if only one of the source or destination directory is backed by an S_PRIVATE inode, then the related set of layer masks would be used as uninitialized by is_access_to_paths_allowed(). This would result to indeterministic access for one side instead of always being allowed. This bug could only be triggered with a mounted filesystem containing both S_PRIVATE and !S_PRIVATE inodes, which doesn't seem possible. The collect_domain_accesses() calls return early if is_nouser_or_private() returns false, which means that the directory's superblock has SB_NOUSER or its inode has S_PRIVATE. Because rename or link actions are only allowed on the same mounted filesystem, the superblock is always the same for both source and destination directories. However, it might be possible in theory to have an S_PRIVATE parent source inode with an !S_PRIVATE parent destination inode, or vice versa. To make sure this case is not an issue, explicitly initialized both set of layer masks to 0, which means to allow all actions on the related side. If at least on side has !S_PRIVATE, then collect_domain_accesses() and is_access_to_paths_allowed() check for the required access rights.

2023-11-12LSM: Identify modules by more than nameGravatar Casey Schaufler 6-4/+11
Create a struct lsm_id to contain identifying information about Linux Security Modules (LSMs). At inception this contains the name of the module and an identifier associated with the security module. Change the security_add_hooks() interface to use this structure. Change the individual modules to maintain their own struct lsm_id and pass it to security_add_hooks(). The values are for LSM identifiers are defined in a new UAPI header file linux/lsm.h. Each existing LSM has been updated to include it's LSMID in the lsm_id. The LSM ID values are sequential, with the oldest module LSM_ID_CAPABILITY being the lowest value and the existing modules numbered in the order they were included in the main line kernel. This is an arbitrary convention for assigning the values, but none better presents itself. The value 0 is defined as being invalid. The values 1-99 are reserved for any special case uses which may arise in the future. This may include attributes of the LSM infrastructure itself, possibly related to namespacing or network attribute management. A special range is identified for such attributes to help reduce confusion for developers unfamiliar with LSMs. LSM attribute values are defined for the attributes presented by modules that are available today. As with the LSM IDs, The value 0 is defined as being invalid. The values 1-99 are reserved for any special case uses which may arise in the future.

2023-10-26landlock: Support network rules with TCP bind and connectGravatar Konstantin Meskhidze 9-24/+414
Add network rules support in the ruleset management helpers and the landlock_create_ruleset() syscall. Extend user space API to support network actions: * Add new network access rights: LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_BIND_TCP and LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_CONNECT_TCP. * Add a new network rule type: LANDLOCK_RULE_NET_PORT tied to struct landlock_net_port_attr. The allowed_access field contains the network access rights, and the port field contains the port value according to the controlled protocol. This field can take up to a 64-bit value but the maximum value depends on the related protocol (e.g. 16-bit value for TCP). Network port is in host endianness [1]. * Add a new handled_access_net field to struct landlock_ruleset_attr that contains network access rights. * Increment the Landlock ABI version to 4. Implement socket_bind() and socket_connect() LSM hooks, which enable to control TCP socket binding and connection to specific ports. Expand access_masks_t from u16 to u32 to be able to store network access rights alongside filesystem access rights for rulesets' handled access rights. Access rights are not tied to socket file descriptors but checked at bind() or connect() call time against the caller's Landlock domain. For the filesystem, a file descriptor is a direct access to a file/data. However, for network sockets, we cannot identify for which data or peer a newly created socket will give access to. Indeed, we need to wait for a connect or bind request to identify the use case for this socket. Likewise a directory file descriptor may enable to open another file (i.e. a new data item), but this opening is also restricted by the caller's domain, not the file descriptor's access rights [2].

2023-06-12hostfs: Fix ephemeral inodesGravatar Mickaël Salaün 1-1/+1
hostfs creates a new inode for each opened or created file, which created useless inode allocations and forbade identifying a host file with a kernel inode. Fix this uncommon filesystem behavior by tying kernel inodes to host file's inode and device IDs. Even if the host filesystem inodes may be recycled, this cannot happen while a file referencing it is opened, which is the case with hostfs. It should be noted that hostfs inode IDs may not be unique for the same hostfs superblock because multiple host's (backed) superblocks may be used. Delete inodes when dropping them to force backed host's file descriptors closing. This enables to entirely remove ARCH_EPHEMERAL_INODES, and then makes Landlock fully supported by UML. This is very useful for testing changes. These changes also factor out and simplify some helpers thanks to the new hostfs_inode_update() and the hostfs_iget() revamp: read_name(), hostfs_create(), hostfs_lookup(), hostfs_mknod(), and hostfs_fill_sb_common(). A following commit with new Landlock tests check this new hostfs inode consistency.

2023-03-20selinux: remove the runtime disable functionalityGravatar Paul Moore 4-5/+5
After working with the larger SELinux-based distros for several years, we're finally at a place where we can disable the SELinux runtime disable functionality. The existing kernel deprecation notice explains the functionality and why we want to remove it: The selinuxfs "disable" node allows SELinux to be disabled at runtime prior to a policy being loaded into the kernel. If disabled via this mechanism, SELinux will remain disabled until the system is rebooted. The preferred method of disabling SELinux is via the "selinux=0" boot parameter, but the selinuxfs "disable" node was created to make it easier for systems with primitive bootloaders that did not allow for easy modification of the kernel command line. Unfortunately, allowing for SELinux to be disabled at runtime makes it difficult to secure the kernel's LSM hooks using the "__ro_after_init" feature. It is that last sentence, mentioning the '__ro_after_init' hardening, which is the real motivation for this change, and if you look at the diffstat you'll see that the impact of this patch reaches across all the different LSMs, helping prevent tampering at the LSM hook level. From a SELinux perspective, it is important to note that if you continue to disable SELinux via "/etc/selinux/config" it may appear that SELinux is disabled, but it is simply in an uninitialized state. If you load a policy with `load_policy -i`, you will see SELinux come alive just as if you had loaded the policy during early-boot. It is also worth noting that the "/sys/fs/selinux/disable" file is always writable now, regardless of the Kconfig settings, but writing to the file has no effect on the system, other than to display an error on the console if a non-zero/true value is written. Finally, in the several years where we have been working on deprecating this functionality, there has only been one instance of someone mentioning any user visible breakage. In this particular case it was an individual's kernel test system, and the workaround documented in the deprecation notice ("selinux=0" on the kernel command line) resolved the issue without problem.

2022-10-19landlock: Support file truncationGravatar Günther Noack 5-7/+126
Introduce the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE flag for file truncation. This flag hooks into the path_truncate, file_truncate and file_alloc_security LSM hooks and covers file truncation using truncate(2), ftruncate(2), open(2) with O_TRUNC, as well as creat(). This change also increments the Landlock ABI version, updates corresponding selftests, and updates code documentation to document the flag. In security/security.c, allocate security blobs at pointer-aligned offsets. This fixes the problem where one LSM's security blob can shift another LSM's security blob to an unaligned address (reported by Nathan Chancellor). The following operations are restricted: open(2): requires the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE right if a file gets implicitly truncated as part of the open() (e.g. using O_TRUNC). Notable special cases: * open(..., O_RDONLY|O_TRUNC) can truncate files as well in Linux * open() with O_TRUNC does *not* need the TRUNCATE right when it creates a new file. truncate(2) (on a path): requires the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE right. ftruncate(2) (on a file): requires that the file had the TRUNCATE right when it was previously opened. File descriptors acquired by other means than open(2) (e.g. memfd_create(2)) continue to support truncation with ftruncate(2).

2022-09-02landlock: Fix file reparenting without explicit LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFERGravatar Mickaël Salaün 1-23/+25
This change fixes a mis-handling of the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER right when multiple rulesets/domains are stacked. The expected behaviour was that an additional ruleset can only restrict the set of permitted operations, but in this particular case, it was potentially possible to re-gain the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER right. With the introduction of LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER, we added the first globally denied-by-default access right. Indeed, this lifted an initial Landlock limitation to rename and link files, which was initially always denied when the source or the destination were different directories. This led to an inconsistent backward compatibility behavior which was only taken into account if no domain layer were using the new LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER right. However, when restricting a thread with a new ruleset handling LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER, all inherited parent rulesets/layers not explicitly handling LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER would behave as if they were handling this access right and with all their rules allowing it. This means that renaming and linking files could became allowed by these parent layers, but all the other required accesses must also be granted: all layers must allow file removal or creation, and renaming and linking operations cannot lead to privilege escalation according to the Landlock policy. See detailed explanation in commit b91c3e4ea756 ("landlock: Add support for file reparenting with LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER"). To say it another way, this bug may lift the renaming and linking limitations of the initial Landlock version, and a same ruleset can enforce different restrictions depending on previous or next enforced ruleset (i.e. inconsistent behavior). The LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER right cannot give access to data not already allowed, but this doesn't follow the contract of the first Landlock ABI. This fix puts back the limitation for sandboxes that didn't opt-in for this additional right. For instance, if a first ruleset allows LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG on /dst and LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REMOVE_FILE on /src, renaming /src/file to /dst/file is denied. However, without this fix, stacking a new ruleset which allows LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER on / would now permit the sandboxed thread to rename /src/file to /dst/file . This change fixes the (absolute) rule access rights, which now always forbid LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER except when it is explicitly allowed when creating a rule. Making all domain handle LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER was an initial approach but there is two downsides: * it makes the code more complex because we still want to check that a rule allowing LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER is legitimate according to the ruleset's handled access rights (i.e. ABI v1 != ABI v2); * it would not allow to identify if the user created a ruleset explicitly handling LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER or not, which will be an issue to audit Landlock. Instead, this change adds an ACCESS_INITIALLY_DENIED list of denied-by-default rights, which (only) contains LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER. All domains are treated as if they are also handling this list, but without modifying their fs_access_masks field. A side effect is that the errno code returned by rename(2) or link(2) *may* be changed from EXDEV to EACCES according to the enforced restrictions. Indeed, we now have the mechanic to identify if an access is denied because of a required right (e.g. LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG, LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REMOVE_FILE) or if it is denied because of missing LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER rights. This may result in different errno codes than for the initial Landlock version, but this approach is more consistent and better for rename/link compatibility reasons, and it wasn't possible before (hence no backport to ABI v1). The layout1.rename_file test reflects this change. Add 4 layout1.refer_denied_by_default* test suites to check that the behavior of a ruleset not handling LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER (ABI v1) is unchanged even if another layer handles LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER (i.e. ABI v1 precedence). Make sure rule's absolute access rights are correct by testing with and without a matching path. Add test_rename() and test_exchange() helpers. Extend layout1.inval tests to check that a denied-by-default access right is not necessarily part of a domain's handled access rights. Test coverage for security/landlock is 95.3% of 599 lines according to gcc/gcov-11.

2022-05-23landlock: Add support for file reparenting with LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFERGravatar Mickaël Salaün 3-76/+528
Add a new LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER access right to enable policy writers to allow sandboxed processes to link and rename files from and to a specific set of file hierarchies. This access right should be composed with LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_* for the destination of a link or rename, and with LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REMOVE_* for a source of a rename. This lift a Landlock limitation that always denied changing the parent of an inode. Renaming or linking to the same directory is still always allowed, whatever LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER is used or not, because it is not considered a threat to user data. However, creating multiple links or renaming to a different parent directory may lead to privilege escalations if not handled properly. Indeed, we must be sure that the source doesn't gain more privileges by being accessible from the destination. This is handled by making sure that the source hierarchy (including the referenced file or directory itself) restricts at least as much the destination hierarchy. If it is not the case, an EXDEV error is returned, making it potentially possible for user space to copy the file hierarchy instead of moving or linking it. Instead of creating different access rights for the source and the destination, we choose to make it simple and consistent for users. Indeed, considering the previous constraint, it would be weird to require such destination access right to be also granted to the source (to make it a superset). Moreover, RENAME_EXCHANGE would also add to the confusion because of paths being both a source and a destination. See the provided documentation for additional details.

In order to be able to identify a file exchange with renameat2(2) and RENAME_EXCHANGE, which will be useful for Landlock [1], propagate the rename flags to LSMs. This may also improve performance because of the switch from two set of LSM hook calls to only one, and because LSMs using this hook may optimize the double check (e.g. only one lock, reduce the number of path walks). AppArmor, Landlock and Tomoyo are updated to leverage this change. This should not change the current behavior (same check order), except (different level of) speed boosts.

2022-05-23landlock: Fix same-layer rule unionsGravatar Mickaël Salaün 2-26/+54
The original behavior was to check if the full set of requested accesses was allowed by at least a rule of every relevant layer. This didn't take into account requests for multiple accesses and same-layer rules allowing the union of these accesses in a complementary way. As a result, multiple accesses requested on a file hierarchy matching rules that, together, allowed these accesses, but without a unique rule allowing all of them, was illegitimately denied. This case should be rare in practice and it can only be triggered by the path_rename or file_open hook implementations. For instance, if, for the same layer, a rule allows execution beneath /a/b and another rule allows read beneath /a, requesting access to read and execute at the same time for /a/b should be allowed for this layer. This was an inconsistency because the union of same-layer rule accesses was already allowed if requested once at a time anyway. This fix changes the way allowed accesses are gathered over a path walk. To take into account all these rule accesses, we store in a matrix all layer granting the set of requested accesses, according to the handled accesses. To avoid heap allocation, we use an array on the stack which is 2*13 bytes. A following commit bringing the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER access right will increase this size to reach 112 bytes (2*14*4) in case of link or rename actions. Add a new layout1.layer_rule_unions test to check that accesses from different rules pertaining to the same layer are ORed in a file hierarchy. Also test that it is not the case for rules from different layers.

Add a new flag LANDLOCK_CREATE_RULESET_VERSION to landlock_create_ruleset(2). This enables to retreive a Landlock ABI version that is useful to efficiently follow a best-effort security approach. Indeed, it would be a missed opportunity to abort the whole sandbox building, because some features are unavailable, instead of protecting users as much as possible with the subset of features provided by the running kernel. This new flag enables user space to identify the minimum set of Landlock features supported by the running kernel without relying on a filesystem interface (e.g. /proc/version, which might be inaccessible) nor testing multiple syscall argument combinations (i.e. syscall bisection). New Landlock features will be documented and tied to a minimum version number (greater than 1). The current version will be incremented for each new kernel release supporting new Landlock features. User space libraries can leverage this information to seamlessly restrict processes as much as possible while being compatible with newer APIs. This is a much more lighter approach than the previous landlock_get_features(2): the complexity is pushed to user space libraries. This flag meets similar needs as securityfs versions: selinux/policyvers, apparmor/features/*/version* and tomoyo/version. Supporting this flag now will be convenient for backward compatibility.

These 3 system calls are designed to be used by unprivileged processes to sandbox themselves: * landlock_create_ruleset(2): Creates a ruleset and returns its file descriptor. * landlock_add_rule(2): Adds a rule (e.g. file hierarchy access) to a ruleset, identified by the dedicated file descriptor. * landlock_restrict_self(2): Enforces a ruleset on the calling thread and its future children (similar to seccomp). This syscall has the same usage restrictions as seccomp(2): the caller must have the no_new_privs attribute set or have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the current user namespace. All these syscalls have a "flags" argument (not currently used) to enable extensibility. Here are the motivations for these new syscalls: * A sandboxed process may not have access to file systems, including /dev, /sys or /proc, but it should still be able to add more restrictions to itself. * Neither prctl(2) nor seccomp(2) (which was used in a previous version) fit well with the current definition of a Landlock security policy. All passed structs (attributes) are checked at build time to ensure that they don't contain holes and that they are aligned the same way for each architecture.

2021-04-22landlock: Support filesystem access-controlGravatar Mickaël Salaün 8-2/+781
Using Landlock objects and ruleset, it is possible to tag inodes according to a process's domain. To enable an unprivileged process to express a file hierarchy, it first needs to open a directory (or a file) and pass this file descriptor to the kernel through landlock_add_rule(2). When checking if a file access request is allowed, we walk from the requested dentry to the real root, following the different mount layers. The access to each "tagged" inodes are collected according to their rule layer level, and ANDed to create access to the requested file hierarchy. This makes possible to identify a lot of files without tagging every inodes nor modifying the filesystem, while still following the view and understanding the user has from the filesystem. Add a new ARCH_EPHEMERAL_INODES for UML because it currently does not keep the same struct inodes for the same inodes whereas these inodes are in use. This commit adds a minimal set of supported filesystem access-control which doesn't enable to restrict all file-related actions. This is the result of multiple discussions to minimize the code of Landlock to ease review. Thanks to the Landlock design, extending this access-control without breaking user space will not be a problem. Moreover, seccomp filters can be used to restrict the use of syscall families which may not be currently handled by Landlock.

Using ptrace(2) and related debug features on a target process can lead to a privilege escalation. Indeed, ptrace(2) can be used by an attacker to impersonate another task and to remain undetected while performing malicious activities. Thanks to ptrace_may_access(), various part of the kernel can check if a tracer is more privileged than a tracee. A landlocked process has fewer privileges than a non-landlocked process and must then be subject to additional restrictions when manipulating processes. To be allowed to use ptrace(2) and related syscalls on a target process, a landlocked process must have a subset of the target process's rules (i.e. the tracee must be in a sub-domain of the tracer).

A Landlock ruleset is mainly a red-black tree with Landlock rules as nodes. This enables quick update and lookup to match a requested access, e.g. to a file. A ruleset is usable through a dedicated file descriptor (cf. following commit implementing syscalls) which enables a process to create and populate a ruleset with new rules. A domain is a ruleset tied to a set of processes. This group of rules defines the security policy enforced on these processes and their future children. A domain can transition to a new domain which is the intersection of all its constraints and those of a ruleset provided by the current process. This modification only impact the current process. This means that a process can only gain more constraints (i.e. lose accesses) over time.

2021-04-22landlock: Add object managementGravatar Mickaël Salaün 4-0/+182
A Landlock object enables to identify a kernel object (e.g. an inode). A Landlock rule is a set of access rights allowed on an object. Rules are grouped in rulesets that may be tied to a set of processes (i.e. subjects) to enforce a scoped access-control (i.e. a domain). Because Landlock's goal is to empower any process (especially unprivileged ones) to sandbox themselves, we cannot rely on a system-wide object identification such as file extended attributes. Indeed, we need innocuous, composable and modular access-controls. The main challenge with these constraints is to identify kernel objects while this identification is useful (i.e. when a security policy makes use of this object). But this identification data should be freed once no policy is using it. This ephemeral tagging should not and may not be written in the filesystem. We then need to manage the lifetime of a rule according to the lifetime of its objects. To avoid a global lock, this implementation make use of RCU and counters to safely reference objects. A following commit uses this generic object management for inodes.
