2026-06-22smack: show msgrcv() subject task in auditKonstantin Andreev
When a task msgrcv()'es some message the SMACK audit log message looks like: fn=smk_tskacc_msq action=denied subject="bar" object="foo" requested=rw pid=456 comm="mrcv" ipc_key=2 fn=smk_tskacc_msq action=granted subject="bar" object="foo" requested=rw pid=519 comm="mrcv" ipc_key=2 where pid= is a pid of a “current” task which calls smk_tskacc_msq(). Usually, the caller of smk_tskacc_msq() is also a subject task which determines its own permission. In the example above the 'mrcv' process has label 'bar' and wants "rw" for label "foo". However, when sender task delivers message using ipc/msg.c`pipelined_send(): ` security_msg_queue_msgrcv(,, msr->r_tsk,,) ` smp_store_release(&msr->r_msg, msg) “current” task and “subject” task differ, and the “subject” task is missed from the audit message. This patch adds two fields, subj_pid and subj_comm, into the audit message: fn=smk_tskacc_msq action=granted subject="bar" object="foo" requested=rw subj_pid=564 subj_comm="mrcv" pid=577 comm="msnd" ipc_key=2 Signed-off-by: Konstantin Andreev <andreev@swemel.ru> Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>
2026-06-22smack: fix incorrect task context in smack_msg_queue_msgrcvKonstantin Andreev
The smack_msg_queue_msgrcv() function incorrectly checks the permissions of the 'current' task instead of the 'target' task. In the msgsnd() syscall path, if a receiver is already waiting, the pipelined_send() optimization is used to push the message directly to the receiver task: ipc/msg.c`pipelined_send(): ` smp_store_release(&msr->r_msg, msg) In this case, the 'sender' (current) task performs the check on behalf of the 'receiver' task (msr->r_tsk, passed as the 'target' parameter): ipc/msg.c`pipelined_send(): ` security_msg_queue_msgrcv(,, target := msr->r_tsk,,) However, smack_msg_queue_msgrcv() ignores the 'target' and checks 'current': smack_msg_queue_msgrcv(…) ` smk_curacc_msq(isp, MAY_READWRITE); // current task 'current' MAY satisfy smack_msg_queue_msgrcv r/w requirement, but 'target' (the receiver task) might NOT; as a result, an unauthorized receiver gets the message, violating MAC policy. Test: 1) create a sysv message queue with label “foo” 2) echo "bar foo r" >/smack/load2 3) msgrcv(,,,0,MSG_NOERROR) in "bar"-labeled task. The task is waiting for the messages ... 4) msgsnd() from a "foo"-labeled task: "bar"-labeled task gets the message. This patch fixes the issue by checking permission on the 'target' task instead of 'current'.

2026-03-06treewide: change inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64Jeff Layton
On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems. Change the type of inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to %llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable types. This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for better struct packing on 32-bit.

2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>

Reduce the duplication between the lsm_id struct and the DEFINE_LSM() definition by linking the lsm_id struct directly into the individual LSM's DEFINE_LSM() instance. Linking the lsm_id into the LSM definition also allows us to simplify the security_add_hooks() function by removing the code which populates the lsm_idlist[] array and moving it into the normal LSM startup code where the LSM list is parsed and the individual LSMs are enabled, making for a cleaner implementation with less overhead at boot.

2025-06-24smack: fix bug: setting task label silently ignores input garbageKonstantin Andreev
This command: # echo foo/bar >/proc/$$/attr/smack/current gives the task a label 'foo' w/o indication that label does not match input. Setting the label with lsm_set_self_attr() syscall behaves identically. This occures because: 1) smk_parse_smack() is used to convert input to a label 2) smk_parse_smack() takes only that part from the beginning of the input that looks like a label. 3) `/' is prohibited in labels, so only "foo" is taken. (2) is by design, because smk_parse_smack() is used for parsing strings which are more than just a label. Silent failure is not a good thing, and there are two indicators that this was not done intentionally: (size >= SMK_LONGLABEL) ~> invalid clause at the beginning of the do_setattr() and the "Returns the length of the smack label" claim in the do_setattr() description. So I fixed this by adding one tiny check: the taken label length == input length. Since input length is now strictly controlled, I changed the two ways of setting label smack_setselfattr(): lsm_set_self_attr() syscall smack_setprocattr(): > /proc/.../current to accommodate the divergence in what they understand by "input length": smack_setselfattr counts mandatory \0 into input length, smack_setprocattr does not. smack_setprocattr allows various trailers after label Related changes: * fixed description for smk_parse_smack * allow unprivileged tasks validate label syntax. * extract smk_parse_label_len() from smk_parse_smack() so parsing may be done w/o string allocation. * extract smk_import_valid_label() from smk_import_entry() to avoid repeated parsing. * smk_parse_smack(): scan null-terminated strings for no more than SMK_LONGLABEL(256) characters * smack_setselfattr(): require struct lsm_ctx . flags == 0 to reserve them for future.

2025-06-22smack: fix bug: invalid label of unix socket fileKonstantin Andreev
According to [1], the label of a UNIX domain socket (UDS) file (i.e., the filesystem object representing the socket) is not supposed to participate in Smack security. To achieve this, [1] labels UDS files with "*" in smack_d_instantiate(). Before [2], smack_d_instantiate() was responsible for initializing Smack security for all inodes, except ones under /proc [2] imposed the sole responsibility for initializing inode security for newly created filesystem objects on smack_inode_init_security(). However, smack_inode_init_security() lacks some logic present in smack_d_instantiate(). In particular, it does not label UDS files with "*". This patch adds the missing labeling of UDS files with "*" to smack_inode_init_security(). Labeling UDS files with "*" in smack_d_instantiate() still works for stale UDS files that already exist on disk. Stale UDS files are useless, but I keep labeling them for consistency and maybe to make easier for user to delete them. Compared to [1], this version introduces the following improvements: * UDS file label is held inside inode only and not saved to xattrs. * relabeling UDS files (setxattr, removexattr, etc.) is blocked.

2025-04-11net: Retire DCCP socket.Kuniyuki Iwashima
DCCP was orphaned in 2021 by commit 054c4610bd05 ("MAINTAINERS: dccp: move Gerrit Renker to CREDITS"), which noted that the last maintainer had been inactive for five years. In recent years, it has become a playground for syzbot, and most changes to DCCP have been odd bug fixes triggered by syzbot. Apart from that, the only changes have been driven by treewide or networking API updates or adjustments related to TCP. Thus, in 2023, we announced we would remove DCCP in 2025 via commit b144fcaf46d4 ("dccp: Print deprecation notice."). Since then, only one individual has contacted the netdev mailing list. [0] There is ongoing research for Multipath DCCP. The repository is hosted on GitHub [1], and development is not taking place through the upstream community.

2025-02-13smack: ipv4/ipv6: tcp/dccp/sctp: fix incorrect child socket labelKonstantin Andreev
Since inception [1], SMACK initializes ipv* child socket security for connection-oriented communications (tcp/sctp/dccp) during accept() syscall, in the security_sock_graft() hook: | void smack_sock_graft(struct sock *sk, ...) | { | // only ipv4 and ipv6 are eligible here | // ... | ssp = sk->sk_security; // socket security | ssp->smk_in = skp; // process label: smk_of_current() | ssp->smk_out = skp; // process label: smk_of_current() | } This approach is incorrect for two reasons: A) initialization occurs too late for child socket security: The child socket is created by the kernel once the handshake completes (e.g., for tcp: after receiving ack for syn+ack). Data can legitimately start arriving to the child socket immediately, long before the application calls accept() on the socket. Those data are (currently — were) processed by SMACK using incorrect child socket security attributes. B) Incoming connection requests are handled using the listening socket's security, hence, the child socket must inherit the listening socket's security attributes. smack_sock_graft() initilizes the child socket's security with a process label, as is done for a new socket() But ... the process label is not necessarily the same as the listening socket label. A privileged application may legitimately set other in/out labels for a listening socket. When this happens, SMACK processes incoming packets using incorrect socket security attributes. In [2] Michael Lontke noticed (A) and fixed it in [3] by adding socket initialization into security_sk_clone_security() hook like | void smack_sk_clone_security(struct sock *oldsk, struct sock *newsk) | { | *(struct socket_smack *)newsk->sk_security = | *(struct socket_smack *)oldsk->sk_security; | } This initializes the child socket security with the parent (listening) socket security at the appropriate time. I was forced to revisit this old story because smack_sock_graft() was left in place by [3] and continues overwriting the child socket's labels with the process label, and there might be a reason for this, so I undertook a study. If the process label differs from the listening socket's labels, the following occurs for ipv4: assigning the smk_out is not accompanied by netlbl_sock_setattr, so the outgoing packet's cipso label does not change. So, the only effect of this assignment for interhost communications is a divergence between the program-visible “out” socket label and the cipso network label. For intrahost communications this label, however, becomes visible via secmark netfilter marking, and is checked for access rights by the client, receiving side. Assigning the smk_in affects both interhost and intrahost communications: the server begins to check access rights against an wrong label. Access check against wrong label (smk_in or smk_out), unsurprisingly fails, breaking the connection. The above affects protocols that calls security_sock_graft() during accept(), namely: {tcp,dccp,sctp}/{ipv4,ipv6} One extra security_sock_graft() caller, crypto/af_alg.c`af_alg_accept is not affected, because smack_sock_graft() does nothing for PF_ALG. To reproduce, assign non-default in/out labels to a listening socket, setup rules between these labels and client label, attempt to connect and send some data. Ipv6 specific: ipv6 packets do not convey SMACK labels. To reproduce the issue in interhost communications set opposite labels in /smack/ipv6host on both hosts. Ipv6 intrahost communications do not require tricking, because SMACK labels are conveyed via secmark netfilter marking. So, currently smack_sock_graft() is not useful, but harmful, therefore, I have removed it. This fixes the issue for {tcp,dccp}/{ipv4,ipv6}, but not sctp/{ipv4,ipv6}. Although this change is necessary for sctp+smack to function correctly, it is not sufficient because: sctp/ipv4 does not call security_sk_clone() and sctp/ipv6 ignores SMACK completely. These are separate issues, belong to other subsystem, and should be addressed separately.

Their compiled bodies are likely to be removed by compiler from the resulting binary, but, to be on the safe side, I remove them from the compiler view.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore: - Move the LSM framework to static calls This transitions the vast majority of the LSM callbacks into static calls. Those callbacks which haven't been converted were left as-is due to the general ugliness of the changes required to support the static call conversion; we can revisit those callbacks at a future date. - Add the Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE) LSM This adds a new LSM, Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE). There is plenty of documentation about IPE in this patches, so I'll refrain from going into too much detail here, but the basic motivation behind IPE is to provide a mechanism such that administrators can restrict execution to only those binaries which come from integrity protected storage, e.g. a dm-verity protected filesystem. You will notice that IPE requires additional LSM hooks in the initramfs, dm-verity, and fs-verity code, with the associated patches carrying ACK/review tags from the associated maintainers. We couldn't find an obvious maintainer for the initramfs code, but the IPE patchset has been widely posted over several years. Both Deven Bowers and Fan Wu have contributed to IPE's development over the past several years, with Fan Wu agreeing to serve as the IPE maintainer moving forward. Once IPE is accepted into your tree, I'll start working with Fan to ensure he has the necessary accounts, keys, etc. so that he can start submitting IPE pull requests to you directly during the next merge window. - Move the lifecycle management of the LSM blobs to the LSM framework Management of the LSM blobs (the LSM state buffers attached to various kernel structs, typically via a void pointer named "security" or similar) has been mixed, some blobs were allocated/managed by individual LSMs, others were managed by the LSM framework itself. Starting with this pull we move management of all the LSM blobs, minus the XFRM blob, into the framework itself, improving consistency across LSMs, and reducing the amount of duplicated code across LSMs. Due to some additional work required to migrate the XFRM blob, it has been left as a todo item for a later date; from a practical standpoint this omission should have little impact as only SELinux provides a XFRM LSM implementation. - Fix problems with the LSM's handling of F_SETOWN The LSM hook for the fcntl(F_SETOWN) operation had a couple of problems: it was racy with itself, and it was disconnected from the associated DAC related logic in such a way that the LSM state could be updated in cases where the DAC state would not. We fix both of these problems by moving the security_file_set_fowner() hook into the same section of code where the DAC attributes are updated. Not only does this resolve the DAC/LSM synchronization issue, but as that code block is protected by a lock, it also resolve the race condition. - Fix potential problems with the security_inode_free() LSM hook Due to use of RCU to protect inodes and the placement of the LSM hook associated with freeing the inode, there is a bit of a challenge when it comes to managing any LSM state associated with an inode. The VFS folks are not open to relocating the LSM hook so we have to get creative when it comes to releasing an inode's LSM state. Traditionally we have used a single LSM callback within the hook that is triggered when the inode is "marked for death", but not actually released due to RCU. Unfortunately, this causes problems for LSMs which want to take an action when the inode's associated LSM state is actually released; so we add an additional LSM callback, inode_free_security_rcu(), that is called when the inode's LSM state is released in the RCU free callback. - Refactor two LSM hooks to better fit the LSM return value patterns The vast majority of the LSM hooks follow the "return 0 on success, negative values on failure" pattern, however, there are a small handful that have unique return value behaviors which has caused confusion in the past and makes it difficult for the BPF verifier to properly vet BPF LSM programs. This includes patches to convert two of these"special" LSM hooks to the common 0/-ERRNO pattern. - Various cleanups and improvements A handful of patches to remove redundant code, better leverage the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() helper, add missing "static" markings, and do some minor style fixups. * tag 'lsm-pr-20240911' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm: (40 commits) security: Update file_set_fowner documentation fs: Fix file_set_fowner LSM hook inconsistencies lsm: Use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() helper function lsm: remove LSM_COUNT and LSM_CONFIG_COUNT ipe: Remove duplicated include in ipe.c lsm: replace indirect LSM hook calls with static calls lsm: count the LSMs enabled at compile time kernel: Add helper macros for loop unrolling init/main.c: Initialize early LSMs after arch code, static keys and calls.

Right now, (focusing on x86) struct file is 232 bytes. After this series struct file will be 184 bytes aka 3 cacheline and a spare 8 bytes for future extensions at the end of the struct. With struct file being as ubiquitous as it is this should make a difference for file heavy workloads and allow further optimizations in the future. - struct fown_struct was embedded into struct file letting it take up 32 bytes in total when really it shouldn't even be embedded in struct file in the first place. Instead, actual users of struct fown_struct now allocate the struct on demand. This frees up 24 bytes. - Move struct file_ra_state into the union containg the cleanup hooks and move f_iocb_flags out of the union. This closes a 4 byte hole we created earlier and brings struct file to 192 bytes. Which means struct file is 3 cachelines and we managed to shrink it by 40 bytes. - Reorder struct file so that nothing crosses a cacheline. I suspect that in the future we will end up reordering some members to mitigate false sharing issues or just because someone does actually provide really good perf data. - Shrinking struct file to 192 bytes is only part of the work. Files use a slab that is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and when a kmem cache is created with SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU the free pointer must be located outside of the object because the cache doesn't know what part of the memory can safely be overwritten as it may be needed to prevent object recycling. That has the consequence that SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU may end up adding a new cacheline. So this also contains work to add a new kmem_cache_create_rcu() function that allows the caller to specify an offset where the freelist pointer is supposed to be placed. Thus avoiding the implicit addition of a fourth cacheline. - And finally this removes the f_version member in struct file. The f_version member isn't particularly well-defined. It is mainly used as a cookie to detect concurrent seeks when iterating directories. But it is also abused by some subsystems for completely unrelated things. It is mostly a directory and filesystem specific thing that doesn't really need to live in struct file and with its wonky semantics it really lacks a specific function. For pipes, f_version is (ab)used to defer poll notifications until a write has happened. And struct pipe_inode_info is used by multiple struct files in their ->private_data so there's no chance of pushing that down into file->private_data without introducing another pointer indirection. But pipes don't rely on f_pos_lock so this adds a union into struct file encompassing f_pos_lock and a pipe specific f_pipe member that pipes can use.

2024-08-28selinux,smack: don't bypass permissions check in inode_setsecctx hookScott Mayhew
Marek Gresko reports that the root user on an NFS client is able to change the security labels on files on an NFS filesystem that is exported with root squashing enabled. The end of the kerneldoc comment for __vfs_setxattr_noperm() states: * This function requires the caller to lock the inode's i_mutex before it * is executed. It also assumes that the caller will make the appropriate * permission checks. nfsd_setattr() does do permissions checking via fh_verify() and nfsd_permission(), but those don't do all the same permissions checks that are done by security_inode_setxattr() and its related LSM hooks do. Since nfsd_setattr() is the only consumer of security_inode_setsecctx(), simplest solution appears to be to replace the call to __vfs_setxattr_noperm() with a call to __vfs_setxattr_locked(). This fixes the above issue and has the added benefit of causing nfsd to recall conflicting delegations on a file when a client tries to change its security label.

2024-08-28file: reclaim 24 bytes from f_ownerChristian Brauner
We do embedd struct fown_struct into struct file letting it take up 32 bytes in total. We could tweak struct fown_struct to be more compact but really it shouldn't even be embedded in struct file in the first place. Instead, actual users of struct fown_struct should allocate the struct on demand. This frees up 24 bytes in struct file. That will have some potentially user-visible changes for the ownership fcntl()s. Some of them can now fail due to allocation failures. Practically, that probably will almost never happen as the allocations are small and they only happen once per file. The fown_struct is used during kill_fasync() which is used by e.g., pipes to generate a SIGIO signal. Sending of such signals is conditional on userspace having set an owner for the file using one of the F_OWNER fcntl()s. Such users will be unaffected if struct fown_struct is allocated during the fcntl() call. There are a few subsystems that call __f_setown() expecting file->f_owner to be allocated: (1) tun devices file->f_op->fasync::tun_chr_fasync() -> __f_setown() There are no callers of tun_chr_fasync(). (2) tty devices file->f_op->fasync::tty_fasync() -> __tty_fasync() -> __f_setown() tty_fasync() has no additional callers but __tty_fasync() has. Note that __tty_fasync() only calls __f_setown() if the @on argument is true. It's called from: file->f_op->release::tty_release() -> tty_release() -> __tty_fasync() -> __f_setown() tty_release() calls __tty_fasync() with @on false => __f_setown() is never called from tty_release(). => All callers of tty_release() are safe as well. file->f_op->release::tty_open() -> tty_release() -> __tty_fasync() -> __f_setown() __tty_hangup() calls __tty_fasync() with @on false => __f_setown() is never called from tty_release(). => All callers of __tty_hangup() are safe as well. From the callchains it's obvious that (1) and (2) end up getting called via file->f_op->fasync(). That can happen either through the F_SETFL fcntl() with the FASYNC flag raised or via the FIOASYNC ioctl(). If FASYNC is requested and the file isn't already FASYNC then file->f_op->fasync() is called with @on true which ends up causing both (1) and (2) to call __f_setown(). (1) and (2) are the only subsystems that call __f_setown() from the file->f_op->fasync() handler. So both (1) and (2) have been updated to allocate a struct fown_struct prior to calling fasync_helper() to register with the fasync infrastructure. That's safe as they both call fasync_helper() which also does allocations if @on is true. The other interesting case are file leases: (3) file leases lease_manager_ops->lm_setup::lease_setup() -> __f_setown() Which in turn is called from: generic_add_lease() -> lease_manager_ops->lm_setup::lease_setup() -> __f_setown() So here again we can simply make generic_add_lease() allocate struct fown_struct prior to the lease_manager_ops->lm_setup::lease_setup() which happens under a spinlock. With that the two remaining subsystems that call __f_setown() are: (4) dnotify (5) sockets Both have their own custom ioctls to set struct fown_struct and both have been converted to allocate a struct fown_struct on demand from their respective ioctls. Interactions with O_PATH are fine as well e.g., when opening a /dev/tty as O_PATH then no file->f_op->open() happens thus no file->f_owner is allocated. That's fine as no file operation will be set for those and the device has never been opened. fcntl()s called on such things will just allocate a ->f_owner on demand. Although I have zero idea why'd you care about f_owner on an O_PATH fd.

2024-07-31lsm: Refactor return value of LSM hook inode_copy_up_xattrXu Kuohai
To be consistent with most LSM hooks, convert the return value of hook inode_copy_up_xattr to 0 or a negative error code. Before: - Hook inode_copy_up_xattr returns 0 when accepting xattr, 1 when discarding xattr, -EOPNOTSUPP if it does not know xattr, or any other negative error code otherwise. After: - Hook inode_copy_up_xattr returns 0 when accepting xattr, *-ECANCELED* when discarding xattr, -EOPNOTSUPP if it does not know xattr, or any other negative error code otherwise.

2024-07-29lsm: infrastructure management of the key security blobCasey Schaufler
Move management of the key->security blob out of the individual security modules and into the security infrastructure. Instead of allocating the blobs from within the modules the modules tell the infrastructure how much space is required, and the space is allocated there. There are no existing modules that require a key_free hook, so the call to it and the definition for it have been removed.
