It is correct, but the long-term fix is to lift the conditional part out
of vfs_get_tree() into the callers (as discussed a couple of weeks ago).
I have it in a local branch, need to ripple it into the current main series...

linux-next: manual merge of the selinux tree with the vfs tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi Paul,

Today's linux-next merge of the selinux tree got a conflict in:

  security/selinux/hooks.c

between commit:

  2b8073b14c19 ("LSM: split ->sb_set_mnt_opts() out of ->sb_kern_mount()")

from the vfs tree and commit:

  2cbdcb882f97 ("selinux: always allow mounting submounts")

from the selinux tree.

I fixed it up (I used the vfs tree version, plus added the following
patch but I am not sure if it is correct as the latter patch only affected
selinux) and can carry the fix as necessary. This is now fixed as far as
linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial conflicts should be mentioned
to your upstream maintainer when your tree is submitted for merging.
You may also want to consider cooperating with the maintainer of the
conflicting tree to minimise any particularly complex conflicts.

From: Stephen Rothwell 
Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2018 14:44:13 +1100
Subject: [PATCH] update for "selinux: always allow mounting submounts"

The check moved.

FWIW, I'm none too happy about the fix.  Observations:
* sb_get_tree (and sb_kern_mount past the "LSM: lift parsing
LSM options into the caller of ->sb_kern_mount()" in this series)
is equivalent to sb_set_mnt_opts() + (for userland mounts) an selinux-only
MAC check.  IOW, application of options (for LSMs that have those
in the first place) + actual "are we permitted to mount that?" check.
* the second part should be done only for userland mounts -
not automounting, not kernel-internal ones, etc.
* a very common pattern is "vfs_get_tree, vfs_create_mount if we
hadn't failed that, then unconditional put_fs_context".  So much that it
clearly deserves a helper - too much boilerplate as it is.
* look at the callers of vfs_get_tree():
1) afs_mntpt_do_automount(): submount, helper fodder.  No MAC.
2) nfs_do_submount(): submount, standalone, but caller will very shortly follow
with the rest of the helper.  No MAC.
3) btrfs_mount_root(): helper fodder, cloned context, probably no point
in the actual MAC - we are in ->get_tree(), the caller will decide if
it wants to bother.
4) do_nfs4_mount(): NFS counterpart of the above.
5) mount_one_hugetlbfs(): kernel-internal, helper fodder, no MAC.
6) pid_ns_prepare_proc(): kernel-internal, helper fodder, no MAC.
7) mq_create_mount(): kernel-internal, helper fodder, no MAC.

8) do_new_mount(): almost a helper fodder, wants MAC (mount(2) guts)
9) fsopen(2): standalone, wants MAC (it's mount(2)-equivalent)
10) vfs_kern_mount(): that's a bit more complicated.  It is, again,
a helper fodder.  The need of MAC depends upon the caller, in theory.
Callers:
simple_pin_fs() - kernel-internal, no MAC
init_mount_tree() - no MAC, that's the absolute root and that, by
definition, is much too early in the boot (before initramfs, etc.) for
any LSM shite to be applicable.  In any case, it's done by the kernel.
kern_mount() - kernel-internal, no MAC
cpuset_get_tree() - part of ->get_tree(), caller will decide if they
want the damn MAC.
vfs_submount() - automounts, presumably no MAC.

Conclusion: fuck the MAC in vfs_get_tree().  Let's just lift it into
do_new_mount()/fsopen().  The only thing we really need there is to
keep ->s_umount held (exclusive) until after the MAC.  So let vfs_get_tree()
return with fc->root->d_sb->s_umount locked and have mount_create_mount()
(which is _always_ preceded by successful vfs_get_tree()), unlock the
sucker.  In vfs_get_tree() we need to do sb_set_mnt_opts(), with the
rest of it (selinux-only) called by do_new_mount()/fsopen(2).  All there
is to it...

I just tested the Q28 branch rebased onto a recent Fedora rawhide
kernel (4.20.0-0.rc5.git0.1) and that code seems to be working fine.
The submount test failed with Q28 and succeeds with Q28+fix, as
expected. Also, the overlay tests failures are gone now (except for
the 4 known failures from GH issue #43, since I had to rebase onto
4.20-rcX).

This is the commit that I used as the SELinux submount fix:

I just tested the Q28 branch rebased onto a recent Fedora rawhide
kernel (4.20.0-0.rc5.git0.1) and that code seems to be working fine.
The submount test failed with Q28 and succeeds with Q28+fix, as
expected. Also, the overlay tests failures are gone now (except for
the 4 known failures from GH issue #43, since I had to rebase onto
4.20-rcX).

This is the commit that I used as the SELinux submount fix:

Could you take a look at vfs.git#Q28?  There's still a massive reshuffling
going on, so there will be more branches; this one is the latest at the
moment.

I really hate the situation around sb_clone_mnt_opts/sb_set_mnt_opts and
I'm none too fond of the way fs_context_validate is done, so there will
be quite a bit of LSM tweaking.  If we are doing that, let's do it
right...

I think I figured out what's the problem. NFS still creates the
submount via the old vfs_submount() call, which calls
vfs_kern_mount(), which creates an fs_context with
FS_CONTEXT_FOR_USER_MOUNT because FS_CONTEXT_FOR_SUBMOUNT needs the
mountpoint dentry reference and there is currently no way to pass that
to vfs_kern_mount(). This is further complicated by the fact that
vfs_submount() accepts only a const reference to the mountpoint, while
vfs_new_fs_context() expects a non-const one...

I think all users of the old vfs_submount call should be converted to
the new API before the VFS changes are merged into mainline, otherwise
they will break the SELinux submount fix. We could work around it in
the SELinux hook by checking the fc->sb_flags[_mask] for SB_SUBMOUNT,
but I guess that would be a hack.

I think I figured out what's the problem. NFS still creates the
submount via the old vfs_submount() call, which calls
vfs_kern_mount(), which creates an fs_context with
FS_CONTEXT_FOR_USER_MOUNT because FS_CONTEXT_FOR_SUBMOUNT needs the
mountpoint dentry reference and there is currently no way to pass that
to vfs_kern_mount(). This is further complicated by the fact that
vfs_submount() accepts only a const reference to the mountpoint, while
vfs_new_fs_context() expects a non-const one...

I think all users of the old vfs_submount call should be converted to
the new API before the VFS changes are merged into mainline, otherwise
they will break the SELinux submount fix. We could work around it in
the SELinux hook by checking the fc->sb_flags[_mask] for SB_SUBMOUNT,
but I guess that would be a hack.

Unfortunately, even with FS_CONTEXT_FOR_ROOT_MOUNT the submount test
is still failing. (Actually, re-reading the description for
FS_CONTEXT_FOR_ROOT_MOUNT it seems it is not actually related to
submounts, although we should probably still skip the check for it,
too.) I will need to dig deeper into this on Monday...

FWIW, the generated AVC denial is still the same so it must be failing
the check in that particular hook (the FILESYSTEM__MOUNT permission is
checked only in that single place):

type=AVC msg=audit(02.12.2018 01:55:03.626:604) : avc:  denied  {
mount } for  pid=4036 comm=cat name=/ dev="0:48" ino=2

Unfortunately, even with FS_CONTEXT_FOR_ROOT_MOUNT the submount test
is still failing. (Actually, re-reading the description for
FS_CONTEXT_FOR_ROOT_MOUNT it seems it is not actually related to
submounts, although we should probably still skip the check for it,
too.) I will need to dig deeper into this on Monday...

I tested the proposed patch ([1]; fixed as per correction from David
Howells) applied on top of patches v4.19-rc3..vfs/work.mount applied
on top of the 4.19.5-300 Fedora 29 kernel.

However, the submount test was still failing, so I looked again at the
list of the possible 'purpose' values and it turns out the value used
by NFS et al. is actually FS_CONTEXT_FOR_ROOT_MOUNT (it is actually
documented nicely in Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt). So I'll
need to build a new test kernel with updated patch ([2]) and retest...

BTW, the vfs/work.mount changes alone seem to cause some overlay test
failures (I didn't test a clean 4.19.5 so it may be due to some stable
patch as well):

Test Summary Report
---
overlay/test  (Wstat: 3072 Tests: 119 Failed: 12)

   117
 Non-zero exit status: 12

The failing tests are all in the context mount section, but I don't
think this is (directly) related to [3] because there are much more
tests failing and the kernel I was testing didn't include the
problematic OverlayFS patch. Perhaps the VFS patches somehow broke the
parsing of the context= mount option?

The failing tests are all in the context mount section, but I don't
think this is (directly) related to [3] because there are much more
tests failing and the kernel I was testing didn't include the
problematic OverlayFS patch. Perhaps the VFS patches somehow broke the
parsing of the context= mount option?

It's not a bitmask, so you can't do that.  You'd need to do:

if (fc->purpose == FS_CONTEXT_FOR_KERNEL_MOUNT ||
fc->purpose == FS_CONTEXT_FOR_SUBMOUNT)

or use a switch.

PS: the 3rd one (in selinux) is, AFAICS, TOCTOU-free, because

of course, but judging by the in-tree sample...

Transferring the Linux S options when crossing into a submount.

Frankly, the set of mount-related hooks is atrocious - way too much
duplication between them (sb_kern_mount vs. sb_set_mnt_opts vs.
sb_parse_opts_str vs. sb_clone_mnt_opts) and that, actually, is the
worst part of safely untangling the mount-API series ;-/

And then there's sb_mount, with 3 instances and arseloads of
races in 2 out of 3.  Consider e.g. this:
if (need_dev) {
/* Get mount point or device file. */
if (!dev_name || kern_path(dev_name, LOOKUP_FOLLOW, )) {
error = -ENOENT;
goto out;
}
obj.path1 = path;
requested_dev_name = tomoyo_realpath_from_path();
if (!requested_dev_name) {
error = -ENOENT;
goto out;
}
in tomoyo.  OK, so we do a pathname resolution of dev_name (including
the source in mount --bind case).  Then we apply checks to it...
and proceed to...
if (obj.path1.dentry)
path_put();
... discard the result of lookup.  Then the caller proceeds to do
the work, including (at various locations, depending upon the
mount(2) flags, fs type, etc.) looking dev_name up.  Could you spell TOCTOU?

Or, for example, this:
if (!dev_name || !*dev_name)
return -EINVAL;

flags &= MS_REC | MS_BIND;

error = kern_path(dev_name, LOOKUP_FOLLOW|LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT, _path);
if (error)
return error;

get_buffers(buffer, old_buffer);
error = fn_for_each_confined(label, profile,
match_mnt(profile, path, buffer, _path, old_buffer,
  NULL, flags, NULL, false));
put_buffers(buffer, old_buffer);
path_put(_path);
Same story, same TOCTOU race, this time in apparmour...

FWIW, the whole thing is getting massaged/reordered/etc. and I would
like some input from you guys at some point - assuming that I recover
the ability to talk about LSM without obscenities...

Question: what *should* happen if we try to cross into a submount and find
that the thing on the other side is already mounted elsewhere, with incompatible
LSM options?  Ditto for referrals, with an extra twist - what if we are given
3 alternatives, the first two already mounted elsewhere with incompatible
options, the third one not mounted anywhere yet?

OK, I will verify that the SELinux submount fix rebased on top of
vfs/work.mount in the way I suggested above passes the same testing
(seliinux-testsuite + NFS crossmnt reproducer). I am now building two
kernels (vfs/work.mount with and without the fix) to test. Let me know
if there is anything more to do.

I will, or at least I'll do my best to remember; since we only have a
few more week until the merge window I like my odds.  FWIW, I
typically do a test merge on top of Linus' tree before sending the
SELinux PR just to verify that everything is relatively clean and
there are no surprises.

Ondrej, please work with David Howells to ensure that submounts are
handled correctly in his mount rework.

OK, so from tomorrow I will use that merge resolution.  Someone needs
to remember to tell Linus about this when the latter of the vfs and
selinux trees reach him.

Thanks for the better resolution.

Hm... seems that there was some massive overhaul in the VFS code right
at the wrong moment... There are new hooks for mounting now and the
code that our commit changes is now here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git/tree/security/selinux/hooks.c?h=for-next#n3131

It seems that the logic is still the same, just now our patch (or the
VFS one) needs to be updated to change the above line as such
(untested pseudo-patch):

- if (fc->purpose == FS_CONTEXT_FOR_KERNEL_MOUNT)
+ if (fc->purpose == (FS_CONTEXT_FOR_KERNEL_MOUNT|FS_CONTEXT_FOR_SUBMOUNT))

Thanks for the heads up, Stephen!

linux-next: manual merge of the selinux tree with the vfs tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi Paul,

Today's linux-next merge of the selinux tree got a conflict in:

  security/selinux/hooks.c

between commit:

  0472421f47a9 ("vfs: Remove unused code after filesystem context changes")

from the vfs tree and commit:

  2cbdcb882f97 ("selinux: always allow mounting submounts")

from the selinux tree.

I fixed it up (the former removed the function updated by the latter -
I am not sure if there are further changes necessary) and can carry the
fix as necessary. This is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned,
but any non trivial conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream
maintainer when your tree is submitted for merging.  You may also want
to consider cooperating with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to
minimise any particularly complex conflicts.
