From 659c0ce1cb9efc7f58d380ca4bb2a51ae9e30553 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ondrej Mosnacek omosnace@redhat.com Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2023 17:21:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] kernel/sys.c: fix and improve control flow in __sys_setres[ug]id()
Linux Security Modules (LSMs) that implement the "capable" hook will usually emit an access denial message to the audit log whenever they "block" the current task from using the given capability based on their security policy.
The occurrence of a denial is used as an indication that the given task has attempted an operation that requires the given access permission, so the callers of functions that perform LSM permission checks must take care to avoid calling them too early (before it is decided if the permission is actually needed to perform the requested operation).
The __sys_setres[ug]id() functions violate this convention by first calling ns_capable_setid() and only then checking if the operation requires the capability or not. It means that any caller that has the capability granted by DAC (task's capability set) but not by MAC (LSMs) will generate a "denied" audit record, even if is doing an operation for which the capability is not required.
Fix this by reordering the checks such that ns_capable_setid() is checked last and -EPERM is returned immediately if it returns false.
While there, also do two small optimizations: * move the capability check before prepare_creds() and * bail out early in case of a no-op.
