Subject: [PATCH 2/2] security.capability: fix conversions on getxattr

If a capability is stored on disk in v2 format cap_inode_getsecurity() will
currently return in v2 format unconditionally.

This is wrong: v2 cap should be equivalent to a v3 cap with zero rootid,
and so the same conversions performed on it.

If the rootid cannot be mapped v3 is returned unconverted. Fix this so
that both v2 and v3 return -EOVERFLOW if the rootid (or the owner of the fs
user namespace in case of v2) cannot be mapped in the current user
namespace.

This looks like a good cleanup.

I do wonder how well this works with stacking. In particular
ovl_xattr_set appears to call vfs_getxattr without overriding the creds.
What the purpose of that is I haven't quite figured out. It looks like
it is just a probe to see if an xattr is present so maybe it is ok.

Yeah, it's checking in the removexattr case whether copy-up is needed
or not (i.e. if trying to remove a non-existent xattr, then no need to
copy up).

But for consistency it should also be wrapped in override creds.
Adding fix to this series.

I'll also audit for any remaining omissions. One known and documented
case is vfs_ioctl(FS_IOC_{[SG]ETFLAGS,FS[SG]ETXATTR}), but that
shouldn't be affected by user namespaces.

Thanks,
Miklos

Sorry, I'm not following. Why is this a good cleanup? Why should
the xattr be shown as faked v3 in this case?

Why this change? Christian (cc:d) noticed that this is a user visible change.
Without this change, if you are in a userns which has different rootid, the
EOVERFLOW tells vfs_getxattr to vall back to __vfs_getxattr() and so you can
see the v3 capability with its rootid.

With this change, you instead just get EOVERFLOW.

If the reader is in &init_user_ns. If the filesystem was mounted in a
user namespace. Then the reader looses the information that the
capability xattr only applies to a subset of user namespaces.

A trivial place where this would be important is if userspace was to
copy the file and the associated capability xattr to another
filesystem, that is mounted differently.


<aside>
From our previous discussions I would also argue it would be good
if there was a bypass that skipped all conversions if the reader
and the filesystem are in the same user namespace.

Returning EOVERFLOW is the desired behavior when the rootid can not be
represented by the calling userspace.

Today when you execute such a file from such a namespace the file will
run without any file capabilities because get_vfs_caps_from_disk
returns -ENODATA.

However today if you copy the file will all of it's xattrs onto another
filesystem the new file will have a v3 cap that will grant capabilities
in some contexts. That mismatch is potentially a security problem.

Which means the only sane thing to do is to fail so userspace does not
think it can safely copy or comprehend all of the xattrs of the file.

That's however just an optimization (AFAICS) that only makes sense if
it helps a read world workload. I'm not convinced that that's the
case.

It is definitely a different issue.

From previous conversations with Serge, there is a concern with a
sysadmin wanting to see what is actually on disk. In case there are
bugs that care about the different layout. Just passing everything
through when no translation is necessary will allow that kind of
diagnosis.

As your patch demonstrates we already have had bugs in this area
so being able to get at the raw data may help people if they get into a
situation where bugs matter.

I think the filesystems current relevant are fuse,overlayfs,ramfs,tmpfs.

That is the case we that is being fixed in the patch.

No you got it.

But an error of -EOVERFLOW still indicates data is there.
You just don't get the data because it can not be represented.

Getting -EOVERFLOW when attempting to read the cap from inside
the user namespace will immediately tell you what is wrong. The rootid
does not map.

That is how all the non-mapping situations are handled. Either
-EOVERFLOW or returning INVALID_UID/the unmapped user id aka nobody.

The existing code is wrong because it returns a completely untranslated
uid, which is completely non-sense.

An argument could be made for returning a rootid of 0xffffffff aka
INVALID_UID in a v3 cap xattr when the rootid can not be mapped. I
think that is what we do with posix_acls that contain ids that don't
map. My sense is returning -EOVERFLOW inside the container and
returning the v3 cap xattr outside the container will most quickly get
the problem diagnosed, and will be the most likely to not cause
problems.

If there is a good case for returning a v3 cap with rootid of 0xffffffff
instead of -EOVERFLOW we can do that. Right now I don't see anything
that would be compelling in either direction.

Ok - and this happens *after* the check for whether the rootid to maps
into the current ns.

That sounds reasonable, thanks.

So then can we make faking a v3 gated on whether
sb->s_user_ns != &init_user_ns ?

Sort of.

What Miklos's patch implements is always treating a v2 cap xattr on disk
as v3 internally.

Then v3 is returned if:

> * this as a nscap. */
> mappedroot = from_kuid(current_user_ns(), kroot);
> if (mappedroot != (uid_t)-1 && mappedroot != (uid_t)0) {

After that we verify that the fs capability can be seen by the caller
as a v2 cap xattr with:

> > if (!rootid_owns_currentns(kroot)) {

> > goto out_free;

Anything that passes that test and does not encounter a memory
allocation error is returned as a v2.

...

Which in practice does mean that if sb->s_user_ns != &init_user_ns,
then mappedroot != 0, and is returned as a v3.

The rest of the logic takes care of all of the other crazy silly
combinations. Like a user namespace that identity maps uid 0,
and then mounts a filesystem.
