Commit Message

Ondrej Mosnacek March 26, 2019, 12:12 p.m. UTC
The implementation of kernfs_security_xattr_*() helpers reuses the
kernfs_node_xattr_*() functions, which take the suffix of the xattr name
and extract full xattr name from it using xattr_full_name(). However,
this function relies on the fact that the suffix passed to xattr
handlers from VFS is always constructed from the full name by just
incerementing the pointer. This doesn't necessarily hold for the callers
of kernfs_security_xattr_*(), so their usage will easily lead to
out-of-bounds access.

Fix this by converting the helpers to take the full xattr name instead
of just the suffix and moving the reconstruction to the xattr handlers.
We now need to check if the prefix is correct in the helpers, but it
saves us the difficulty of reconstructing the full name from just the
plain suffix.

Thanks for diagnosing this and providing a patch.  I haven't seen any
objections, but I do have some questions (below).

I think it is reasonable to ask if we even need
kernfs_security_xattr_{set|get}()?  Can we just call the respective
kernfs_node_xattr*() functions instead?  I can't imagine the
WARN_ON_ONCE check being that important.

Indeed, it is now much more natural to just expose all xattrs in those
helpers... I concur that the encapsulation doesn't seem to be worth it
any more. Let me do a simplified respin...
