apparmor: refactory mount to use check_perms

2026-08-11T05:49:42+00:00

Move the mount permissions check to use the common backend aa_check_perms() to check permissions. This will make it so caching, audit, complain, logic can be handled consistently in a single place. Signed-off-by: John Johansen

apparmor: add audit mode to provide a mechanism to silence complain messages

2026-08-11T05:49:42+00:00

Complain messages can be very noisy and fill the logs quickly. Allow complain (allow) messages to be silenced separate from denied messages. Signed-off-by: John Johansen

apparmor: make table entry count last enum for static tables

2026-08-11T05:49:42+00:00

Instead of keeping an external define for the various tables indexed by an enum, make the size the last entry of the enum so the table size will get updated correctly with changes to the enum. Reviewed-by: Georgia Garcia Signed-off-by: John Johansen

apparmor: add support loading per permission tagging

2026-01-29T09:27:47+00:00

Add support for the per permission tag index for a given permission set. This will be used by both meta-data tagging, to allow annotating accept states with context and debug information. As well as by rule tainting and triggers to specify the taint or trigger to be applied. Since these are low frequency ancillary data items they are stored in a tighter packed format to that allows for sharing and reuse of the strings between permissions and accept states. Reducing the amount of kernel memory use at the cost of having to go through a couple if index based indirections. The tags are just strings that has no meaning with out context. When used as meta-data for auditing and debugging its entirely information for userspace, but triggers, and tainting can be used to affect the domain. However they all exist in the same packed data set and can be shared between different uses. Signed-off-by: John Johansen

apparmor: fix af_unix auditing to include all address information

2025-07-16T05:39:43+00:00

The auditing of addresses currently doesn't include the source address and mixes source and foreign/peer under the same audit name. Fix this so source is always addr, and the foreign/peer is peer_addr. Fixes: c05e705812d1 ("apparmor: add fine grained af_unix mediation") Signed-off-by: John Johansen

apparmor: Remove use of the double lock

2025-07-16T05:39:43+00:00

The use of the double lock is not necessary and problematic. Instead pull the bits that need locks into their own sections and grab the needed references. Fixes: c05e705812d1 ("apparmor: add fine grained af_unix mediation") Signed-off-by: John Johansen

lsm: use lsm_prop in security_audit_rule_match

2024-10-11T18:34:12+00:00

Change the secid parameter of security_audit_rule_match to a lsm_prop structure pointer. Pass the entry from the lsm_prop structure for the approprite slot to the LSM hook. Change the users of security_audit_rule_match to use the lsm_prop instead of a u32. The scaffolding function lsmprop_init() fills the structure with the value of the old secid, ensuring that it is available to the appropriate module hook. The sources of the secid, security_task_getsecid() and security_inode_getsecid(), will be converted to use the lsm_prop structure later in the series. At that point the use of lsmprop_init() is dropped. Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler [PM: subject line tweak] Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

This implies a possible sleep and violates limitations of RCU read-side critical sections on non-PREEMPT systems. Sleeping within RCU read-side critical section might cause synchronize_rcu() returning early and break RCU protection, allowing a UAF to happen. The root cause of this issue could be described as follows: | Thread A | Thread B | | |ima_match_policy | | | rcu_read_lock | |ima_lsm_update_rule | | | synchronize_rcu | | | | kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)| | | sleep | ==> synchronize_rcu returns early | kfree(entry) | | | | entry = entry->next| ==> UAF happens and entry now becomes NULL (or could be anything). | | entry->action | ==> Accessing entry might cause panic. To fix this issue, we are converting all kmalloc that is called within RCU read-side critical section to use GFP_ATOMIC.

apparmor: add user namespace creation mediation

2023-10-18T22:49:02+00:00

Unprivileged user namespace creation is often used as a first step in privilege escalation attacks. Instead of disabling it at the sysrq level, which blocks its legitimate use as for setting up a sandbox, allow control on a per domain basis. This allows an admin to quickly lock down a system while also still allowing legitimate use. Reviewed-by: Georgia Garcia Signed-off-by: John Johansen
