When security labeling is enabled, the client can pass a file security
label as part of a create operation for the new file, similar to mode
and other attributes. At present, the security label is received by nfsd
and passed down to nfsd_create_setattr(), but nfsd_setattr() is never
called and therefore the label is never set on the new file. This bug
may have been introduced on or around commit d6a97d3f589a ("NFSD:
add security label to struct nfsd_attrs"). Looking at nfsd_setattr()
I am uncertain as to whether the same issue presents for
file ACLs and therefore requires a similar fix for those.
An alternative approach would be to introduce a new LSM hook to set the
"create SID" of the current task prior to the actual file creation, which
would atomically label the new inode at creation time. This would be better
for SELinux and a similar approach has been used previously
(see security_dentry_create_files_as) but perhaps not usable by other LSMs.
Reproducer:
1. Install a Linux distro with SELinux - Fedora is easiest
2. git clone https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux-testsuite
3. Install the requisite dependencies per selinux-testsuite/README.md
4. Run something like the following script:
MOUNT=$HOME/selinux-testsuite
sudo systemctl start nfs-server
sudo exportfs -o rw,no_root_squash,security_label localhost:$MOUNT
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/selinux-testsuite
sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=4.2 localhost:$MOUNT /mnt/selinux-testsuite
pushd /mnt/selinux-testsuite/
sudo make -C policy load
pushd tests/filesystem
sudo runcon -t test_filesystem_t ./create_file -f trans_test_file \
-e test_filesystem_filetranscon_t -v
sudo rm -f trans_test_file
popd
sudo make -C policy unload
popd
sudo umount /mnt/selinux-testsuite
sudo exportfs -u localhost:$MOUNT
sudo rmdir /mnt/selinux-testsuite
sudo systemctl stop nfs-server
Expected output:
<eliding noise from commands run prior to or after the test itself>
Process context:
unconfined_u:unconfined_r:test_filesystem_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
Created file: trans_test_file
File context: unconfined_u:object_r:test_filesystem_filetranscon_t:s0
File context is correct
Actual output:
<eliding noise from commands run prior to or after the test itself>
Process context:
unconfined_u:unconfined_r:test_filesystem_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
Created file: trans_test_file
File context: system_u:object_r:test_file_t:s0
File context error, expected:
test_filesystem_filetranscon_t
got:
test_file_t

v3 removes the erroneous and unnecessary change to NFSv2 and updates the
description to note the possible origin of the bug. I did not add a
Fixes tag however as I have not yet tried confirming that.

Thanks, Stephen! Applied to nfsd-next (for v6.10). Review comments
are still welcome.

I think this bug has always been present - since label support was
added.
Commit d6a97d3f589a ("NFSD: add security label to struct nfsd_attrs")
should have fixed it, but was missing the extra test that you provide.
So
Fixes: 0c71b7ed5de8 ("nfsd: introduce file_cache_mutex")
might be appropriate - it fixes the patch, though not a bug introduced
by the patch.
Thanks for this patch!

Thanks for confirming. Do we need to also check for the ACL case in
nfsd_attrs_valid() or is that covered in some other way?

Thanks a good question. I should have asked it myself!
No, ACLs aren't covered some other way. They have the same problem.
I'm tempted to suggest that we simple drop the guard and call
nfsd_setattr() unconditionally. The cost is primarily the we call
inode_lock() without needing to do anything.
Maybe moving the test inside nfsd_setattr() makes it a bit more obvious
what is needed:
