As of now, setting watches on filesystem objects has, at most, applied a
check for read access to the inode, and in the case of fanotify, requires
CAP_SYS_ADMIN. No specific security hook or permission check has been
provided to control the setting of watches. Using any of inotify, dnotify,
or fanotify, it is possible to observe, not only write-like operations, but
even read access to a file. Modeling the watch as being merely a read from
the file is insufficient for the needs of SELinux. This is due to the fact
that read access should not necessarily imply access to information about
when another process reads from a file. Furthermore, fanotify watches grant
more power to an application in the form of permission events. While
notification events are solely, unidirectional (i.e. they only pass
information to the receiving application), permission events are blocking.
Permission events make a request to the receiving application which will
then reply with a decision as to whether or not that action may be
completed. This causes the issue of the watching application having the
ability to exercise control over the triggering process. Without drawing a
distinction within the permission check, the ability to read would imply
the greater ability to control an application. Additionally, mount and
superblock watches apply to all files within the same mount or superblock.
Read access to one file should not necessarily imply the ability to watch
all files accessed within a given mount or superblock.
In order to solve these issues, a new LSM hook is implemented and has been
placed within the system calls for marking filesystem objects with inotify,
fanotify, and dnotify watches. These calls to the hook are placed at the
point at which the target path has been resolved and are provided with the
path struct, the mask of requested notification events, and the type of
object on which the mark is being set (inode, superblock, or mount). The
mask and obj_type have already been translated into common FS_* values
shared by the entirety of the fs notification infrastructure. The path
struct is passed rather than just the inode so that the mount is available,
particularly for mount watches. This also allows for use of the hook by
pathname-based security modules. However, since the hook is intended for
use even by inode based security modules, it is not placed under the
CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH conditional. Otherwise, the inode-based security
modules would need to enable all of the path hooks, even though they do not
use any of them.
This only provides a hook at the point of setting a watch, and presumes
that permission to set a particular watch implies the ability to receive
all notification about that object which match the mask. This is all that
is required for SELinux. If other security modules require additional hooks
or infrastructure to control delivery of notification, these can be added
by them. It does not make sense for us to propose hooks for which we have
no implementation. The understanding that all notifications received by the
requesting application are all strictly of a type for which the application
has been granted permission shows that this implementation is sufficient in
its coverage.
Security modules wishing to provide complete control over fanotify must
also implement a security_file_open hook that validates that the access
requested by the watching application is authorized. Fanotify has the issue
that it returns a file descriptor with the file mode specified during
fanotify_init() to the watching process on event. This is already covered
by the LSM security_file_open hook if the security module implements
checking of the requested file mode there. Otherwise, a watching process
can obtain escalated access to a file for which it has not been authorized.
The selinux_path_notify hook implementation works by adding five new file
permissions: watch, watch_mount, watch_sb, watch_reads, and watch_with_perm
(descriptions about which will follow), and one new filesystem permission:
watch (which is applied to superblock checks). The hook then decides which
subset of these permissions must be held by the requesting application
based on the contents of the provided mask and the obj_type. The
selinux_file_open hook already checks the requested file mode and therefore
ensures that a watching process cannot escalate its access through
fanotify.
The watch, watch_mount, and watch_sb permissions are the baseline
permissions for setting a watch on an object and each are a requirement for
any watch to be set on a file, mount, or superblock respectively. It should
be noted that having either of the other two permissions (watch_reads and
watch_with_perm) does not imply the watch, watch_mount, or watch_sb
permission. Superblock watches further require the filesystem watch
permission to the superblock. As there is no labeled object in view for
mounts, there is no specific check for mount watches beyond watch_mount to
the inode. Such a check could be added in the future, if a suitable labeled
object existed representing the mount.
The watch_reads permission is required to receive notifications from
read-exclusive events on filesystem objects. These events include accessing
a file for the purpose of reading and closing a file which has been opened
read-only. This distinction has been drawn in order to provide a direct
indication in the policy for this otherwise not obvious capability. Read
access to a file should not necessarily imply the ability to observe read
events on a file.
Finally, watch_with_perm only applies to fanotify masks since it is the
only way to set a mask which allows for the blocking, permission event.
This permission is needed for any watch which is of this type. Though
fanotify requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, this is insufficient as it gives implicit
trust to root, which we do not do, and does not support least privilege.

I can't say that I accept your arguments that this is sufficient,
but as you point out, the SELinux team does, and if I want more
for Smack that's my fish to fry.

Thanks Aaron. Thanks Casey.
I think we also want an ACK from the other LSMs, what say all of you?
Can you live with the new security_path_notify() hook?
Aaron, you'll also need to put together a test for the
selinux-testsuite to exercise this code. If you already sent it to
the list, my apologies but I don't see it anywhere. If you get stuck
on the test, let me know and I'll try to help out.
Oh, one more thing ...

Don't respin the patch just for this, but if you have to do it for
some other reason please fix the C++ style comments. Thanks.

This was discussed during the earlier RFC series but ultimately someone
pointed to:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/7/8/625
where Linus blessed the use of C++/C99 style comments. And checkpatch
accepts them these days.
Obviously if you truly don't want them in the SELinux code, that's your
call. But note that all files now have at least one such comment as a
result of the mass SPDX license headers that were added throughout the
tree using that style.

Yep, I'm aware of both, it is simply a personal preference of mine.
I'm not going to reject patches with C++ style comments, but I would
ask people to stick to the good ol' fashioned comments for patches
they submit.

FYI, the sky is blue.
It isn't just the license headers either, Al dropped one into hooks.c
:). Just like I don't plan to reject patches due only to the comment
style, you don't see me pushing patches to change the C++ comments.

Other than Casey's comments, and ACK, I'm not seeing much commentary
on this patch so FS and LSM folks consider this your last chance - if
I don't hear any objections by the end of this week I'll plan on
merging this into selinux/next next week.

Please consider it is summer time so people may be on vacation like I was...
First a suggestion, take it or leave it.
The name of the hook _notify() seems misleading to me.
naming the hook security_path_watch() seems much more
appropriate and matching the name of the constants FILE__WATCH
used by selinux.

Sorry, I just can't stand this extra switch statement here.
Please initialize obj_type at the very first switch statement in
do_fanotify_mark() and pass it to fanotify_find_path().
Preferably also make it a helper that returns either
valid obj_type or <0 for error.

It is probably best to mask out FANOTIFY_EVENT_FLAGS
when calling the hook. Although FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD
and FAN_ONDIR do map to corresponding FS_ constants,
the security hooks from dnotify and inotify do not pass these
flags, so the security module cannot use them as reliable
information, so it will have to assume that they have been
requested anyway.
Alternatively, make sure that dnotify/inotify security hooks
always set these two flags, by fixing up and using the
dnotify/inotify arg_to_mask conversion helpers before calling
the security hook.

Please use (mask & IN_ALL_EVENTS) for converting to common FS_ flags
or use the inotify_arg_to_mask() conversion helper, which contains more
details irrelevant for the security hook.
Otherwise mask may contain flags like IN_MASK_CREATE, which mean
different things on different backends and the security module cannot tell
the difference.
Also note that at this point, before inotify_arg_to_mask(), the mask does
not yet contain FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD, which could be interesting for
the security hook (fanotify users can opt-in with FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD).
Not a big deal though as security hook can assume the worse
(that events on child are requested).
Thanks,
Amir.

I guess I'm not too bothered by either name, Aaron? FWIW, if I was
writing this hook, I would probably name it
security_fsnotify_path(...).

While I'm not necessarily attached to the name, I feel as though
"misleading" is too strong a word here. Notify seems to be an
appropriate enough term to me as every call to the hook, and thus all
the logic to which the hook adds security, lives in the notify/ subtree.

I have no problem moving the initialization of obj_type up one level to
do_fanotify_mark(). I don't think that a helper is necessary at this
juncture as this logic seems to only exist in one place. Should this
change, then there would be merit to having a separate function.

I think that at this point either approach you mentioned makes just as
much sense. If it's all the same to you, Amir, I'll just change the

I can implement the changes in the ways I mentioned above. I don't see a
need for anything more in the cases you brought up since none of them
change the logic of the hook itself or would make a substantive
difference to the operation of the hook given its current implementation.

Agree. It is not misleading, but I should note that you yourself
named the security class "watch", so why the inconsistency?

Well, if nobody cares about the name, it's fine by me.
I wanted to point your attention to this proposal by David Howells:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/155991706847.15579.4702772917586301113.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk/
His proposal adds new types of watches, for keyring changes,
mount changes, etc and he proposed security hooks for setting
new watches named "watch_XXX" and for posting notifications
called "post_notification". The latter was later rejected by
Stephen Smalley:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/[email protected]/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/[email protected]/
Just to have a perspective why the hook name "notify_path" may end up
being a bit ambiguous down the road.

On second look, let's go with (mask & ALL_FSNOTIFY_EVENTS)
It seems simpler and more appropriate way to convert to FS_ flags.

Jan is fsnotify maintainer, so I think you should wait for an explicit ACK
from Jan or just merge the hook definition and ask Jan to merge to
fsnotify security hooks.

Aaron posted his first patch a month ago in the beginning of July and I don't recall seeing any comments from Jan on any of the patch revisions. I would feel much better with an ACK/Reviewed-by from Jan, or you - which is why I sent that email - but I'm not going to wait forever and I'd like to get this into -next soon so we can get some testing.

Yeah, sorry for the delays. I'm aware of the patch but I was also on
vacation and pretty busy at work so Amir always beat me in commenting on
the patch and I didn't have much to add. Once Aaron fixes the latest
comments from Amir, I'll give the patch the final look and give my ack.
