kernfs: initialize security of newly created nodes
Use the new security_kernfs_init_security() hook to allow LSMs to possibly assign a non-default security context to a newly created kernfs node based on the attributes of the new node and also its parent node. This fixes an issue with cgroupfs under SELinux, where newly created cgroup subdirectories/files would not inherit its parent's context if it had been set explicitly to a non-default value (other than the genfs context specified by the policy). This can be reproduced as follows (on Fedora/RHEL): # mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test # # Need permissive to change the label under Fedora policy: # setenforce 0 # chcon -t container_file_t /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test # ls -lZ /sys/fs/cgroup/unified total 0 -r--r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Jan 29 03:06 cgroup.controllers -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Jan 29 03:06 cgroup.max.depth -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Jan 29 03:06 cgroup.max.descendants -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Jan 29 03:06 cgroup.procs -r--r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Jan 29 03:06 cgroup.stat -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Jan 29 03:06 cgroup.subtree_control -rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Jan 29 03:06 cgroup.threads drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Jan 29 03:06 init.scope drwxr-xr-x. 26 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Jan 29 03:21 system.slice drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root system_u:object_r:container_file_t:s0 0 Jan 29 03:15 test drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Jan 29 03:06 user.slice # mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test/subdir Actual result: # ls -ldZ /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test/subdir drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 0 Jan 29 03:15 /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test/subdir Expected result: # ls -ldZ /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test/subdir drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root unconfined_u:object_r:container_file_t:s0 0 Jan 29 03:15 /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test/subdir Link: https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux-kernel/issues/39Signed-off-by: Ondrej Mosnacek <omosnace@redhat.com> Acked-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com>
