fs: Check for invalid i_uid in may_follow_link()

2016-09-15T06:27:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2d7f9e2ad35e4e7a3086231f19bfab33c6a8a64a ]

Filesystem uids which don't map into a user namespace may result
in inode->i_uid being INVALID_UID. A symlink and its parent
could have different owners in the filesystem can both get
mapped to INVALID_UID, which may result in following a symlink
when this would not have otherwise been permitted when protected
symlinks are enabled.

atomic_open(): fix the handling of create_error

2016-05-19T00:06:51+00:00

commit 10c64cea04d3c75c306b3f990586ffb343b63287 upstream.

* if we have a hashed negative dentry and either CREAT|EXCL on
r/o filesystem, or CREAT|TRUNC on r/o filesystem, or CREAT|EXCL
with failing may_o_create(), we should fail with EROFS or the
error may_o_create() has returned, but not ENOENT.  Which is what
the current code ends up returning.

* if we have CREAT|TRUNC hitting a regular file on a read-only
filesystem, we can't fail with EROFS here.  At the very least,
not until we'd done follow_managed() - we might have a writable
file (or a device, for that matter) bound on top of that one.
Moreover, the code downstream will see that O_TRUNC and attempt
to grab the write access (*after* following possible mount), so
if we really should fail with EROFS, it will happen.  No need
to do that inside atomic_open().

The real logics is much simpler than what the current code is
trying to do - if we decided to go for simple lookup, ended
up with a negative dentry *and* had create_error set, fail with
create_error.  No matter whether we'd got that negative dentry
from lookup_real() or had found it in dcache.

vfs: rename: check backing inode being equal

2016-05-19T00:06:49+00:00

commit 9409e22acdfc9153f88d9b1ed2bd2a5b34d2d3ca upstream.

If a file is renamed to a hardlink of itself POSIX specifies that rename(2)
should do nothing and return success.

This condition is checked in vfs_rename().  However it won't detect hard
links on overlayfs where these are given separate inodes on the overlayfs
layer.

Overlayfs itself detects this condition and returns success without doing
anything, but then vfs_rename() will proceed as if this was a successful
rename (detach_mounts(), d_move()).

The correct thing to do is to detect this condition before even calling
into overlayfs.  This patch does this by calling vfs_select_inode() to get
the underlying inodes.

do_last(): don't let a bogus return value from ->open() et.al. to confuse us

2016-03-03T23:07:29+00:00

commit c80567c82ae4814a41287618e315a60ecf513be6 upstream.

... into returning a positive to path_openat(), which would interpret that
as "symlink had been encountered" and proceed to corrupt memory, etc.
It can only happen due to a bug in some ->open() instance or in some LSM
hook, etc., so we report any such event *and* make sure it doesn't trick
us into further unpleasantness.

namei: ->d_inode of a pinned dentry is stable only for positives

2016-03-03T23:07:13+00:00

commit d4565649b6d6923369112758212b851adc407f0c upstream.

both do_last() and walk_component() risk picking a NULL inode out
of dentry about to become positive, *then* checking its flags and
seeing that it's not negative anymore and using (already stale by
then) value they'd fetched earlier.  Usually ends up oopsing soon
after that...

Don't reset ->total_link_count on nested calls of vfs_path_lookup()

2015-12-06T17:33:02+00:00

we already zero it on outermost set_nameidata(), so initialization in
path_init() is pointless and wrong.  The same DoS exists on pre-4.2
kernels, but there a slightly different fix will be needed.
