Title
selinux,smack: don't bypass permissions check in inode_setsecctx hook
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: selinux,smack: don't bypass permissions check in inode_setsecctx hook Marek Gresko reports that the root user on an NFS client is able to change the security labels on files on an NFS filesystem that is exported with root squashing enabled. The end of the kerneldoc comment for __vfs_setxattr_noperm() states: * This function requires the caller to lock the inode's i_mutex before it * is executed. It also assumes that the caller will make the appropriate * permission checks. nfsd_setattr() does do permissions checking via fh_verify() and nfsd_permission(), but those don't do all the same permissions checks that are done by security_inode_setxattr() and its related LSM hooks do. Since nfsd_setattr() is the only consumer of security_inode_setsecctx(), simplest solution appears to be to replace the call to __vfs_setxattr_noperm() with a call to __vfs_setxattr_locked(). This fixes the above issue and has the added benefit of causing nfsd to recall conflicting delegations on a file when a client tries to change its security label.

Tambi\u00e9n supone que el llamador realizar\u00e1 las comprobaciones de permisos * apropiadas. nfsd_setattr() realiza comprobaciones de permisos a trav\u00e9s de fh_verify() y nfsd_permission(), pero estos no realizan todas las mismas comprobaciones de permisos que realizan security_inode_setxattr() y sus ganchos LSM relacionados. Dado que nfsd_setattr() es el \u00fanico consumidor de security_inode_setsecctx(), la soluci\u00f3n m\u00e1s sencilla parece ser reemplazar la llamada a __vfs_setxattr_noperm() con una llamada a __vfs_setxattr_locked(). Esto soluciona el problema anterior y tiene el beneficio adicional de hacer que nfsd recupere las delegaciones conflictivas en un archivo cuando un cliente intenta cambiar su etiqueta de seguridad.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N\",\"baseScore\":4.4,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"HIGH\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"NONE\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":0.8,\"impactScore\":3.6}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-276\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.6.49\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"38247147-5175-4559-99A6-B52AFFA284EA\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.7\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.10.8\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"1B5D46C3-56A4-4380-9309-27BF73DF29A7\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.11:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"8B3CE743-2126-47A3-8B7C-822B502CF119\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.11:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"4DEB27E7-30AA-45CC-8934-B89263EF3551\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.11:rc3:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"E0005AEF-856E-47EB-BFE4-90C46899394D\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.11:rc4:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"39889A68-6D34-47A6-82FC-CD0BF23D6754\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.11:rc5:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"B8383ABF-1457-401F-9B61-EE50F4C61F4F\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2dbc4b7bac60b02cc6e70d05bf6a7dfd551f9dda\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/459584258d47ec3cc6245a82e8a49c9d08eb8b57\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/76a0e79bc84f466999fa501fce5bf7a07641b8a7\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/eebec98791d0137e455cc006411bb92a54250924\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f71ec019257ba4f7ab198bd948c5902a207bad96\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fe0cd53791119f6287b6532af8ce41576d664930\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/01/msg00001.html\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/03/msg00002.html\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"}]}}",
