Subject: [PATCH 1/1] getxattr: use correct xattr length
Date:   Thu,  7 Jun 2018 13:43:48 +0200

When running in a container with a user namespace, if you call getxattr
with name = "system.posix_acl_access" and size % 8 != 4, then getxattr
silently skips the user namespace fixup that it normally does resulting in
un-fixed-up data being returned.
This is caused by posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user() being passed the total
buffer size and not the actual size of the xattr as returned by
vfs_getxattr().
This commit passes the actual length of the xattr as returned by
vfs_getxattr() down.

A reproducer for the issue is:

  touch acl_posix

  setfacl -m user:0:rwx acl_posix

and the compile:

  #define _GNU_SOURCE
  #include <errno.h>
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include <string.h>
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <attr/xattr.h>

  /* Run in user namespace with nsuid 0 mapped to uid != 0 on the host. */
  int main(int argc, void **argv)
  {
          ssize_t ret1, ret2;
          char buf1[128], buf2[132];
          int fret = EXIT_SUCCESS;
          char *file;

          if (argc < 2) {
                  fprintf(stderr,
                          "Please specify a file with "
                          "\"system.posix_acl_access\" permissions set\n");
                  _exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
          }
          file = argv[1];

          ret1 = getxattr(file, "system.posix_acl_access",
                          buf1, sizeof(buf1));
          if (ret1 < 0) {
                  fprintf(stderr, "%s - Failed to retrieve "
                                  "\"system.posix_acl_access\" "
                                  "from \"%s\"\n", strerror(errno), file);
                  _exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
          }

          ret2 = getxattr(file, "system.posix_acl_access",
                          buf2, sizeof(buf2));
          if (ret2 < 0) {
                  fprintf(stderr, "%s - Failed to retrieve "
                                  "\"system.posix_acl_access\" "
                                  "from \"%s\"\n", strerror(errno), file);
                  _exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
          }

          if (ret1 != ret2) {
                  fprintf(stderr, "The value of \"system.posix_acl_"
                                  "access\" for file \"%s\" changed "
                                  "between two successive calls\n", file);
                  _exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
          }

          for (ssize_t i = 0; i < ret2; i++) {
                  if (buf1[i] == buf2[i])
                          continue;

                  fprintf(stderr,
                          "Unexpected different in byte %zd: "
                          "%02x != %02x\n", i, buf1[i], buf2[i]);
                  fret = EXIT_FAILURE;
          }

          if (fret == EXIT_SUCCESS)
                  fprintf(stderr, "Test passed\n");
          else
                  fprintf(stderr, "Test failed\n");

          _exit(fret);
  }
and run:

  ./tester acl_posix

On a non-fixed up kernel this should return something like:

  root@c1:/# ./t
  Unexpected different in byte 16: ffffffa0 != 00
  Unexpected different in byte 17: ffffff86 != 00
  Unexpected different in byte 18: 01 != 00

and on a fixed kernel:

  root@c1:~# ./t
  Test passed
