9f1e40193e apparmor: fix out-of-bounds write when null terminating a label vec
aa_vec_unique() null terminates at vec[n - dups] when VEC_FLAG_TERMINATE
is passed. If the components are all distinct no duplicates are dropped,
dups is 0 and the terminator goes to vec[n], so the caller has to provide
room for n + 1 entries.

aa_label_strn_parse() sets up its vector with vec_setup(profile, vec, len,
gfp) and then calls aa_vec_unique(vec, len, VEC_FLAG_TERMINATE), but
vec_setup() does not reserve the terminator entry. Up to LOCAL_VEC_ENTRIES
it uses the local array of LOCAL_VEC_ENTRIES pointers, above that it
allocates exactly len pointers. The terminator therefore lands one entry
past the end of the local array when len is LOCAL_VEC_ENTRIES, and one
entry past the end of the allocation when len is larger.

len comes from the number of "//&" separated components in the label name
and label_count_strn_entries() does not bound it. An unprivileged task
reaches the parse by writing to /proc/self/attr/apparmor/current or through
lsm_set_self_attr(2), both of which go through do_setattr(), and the name
is parsed before the change_profile permission is checked.
The query_label() path behind the securityfs .access file, which is
mode 0666, performs no permission check at all. Every component has to
resolve to a loaded profile, so a system with policy loaded is required.

The other two VEC_FLAG_TERMINATE users work on a label vec that
aa_label_alloc() has already sized with "+ 1 for null terminator entry on
vec". Reserve the same entry in vec_setup() and DEFINE_VEC(). Passing
len + 1 from the caller instead would move len == LOCAL_VEC_ENTRIES out of
the local array and into kzalloc().

1555a0e2a1 apparmor: optimize current_label_crit_section() with needput
The {begin,end}_current_label_crit_section() has the same issue as the
{__begin,__end} version. That is the check to see if the label has
been updated in the end check forces an unnecessary memory barrier.
We can optimize this the same way we do with the {__begin,__end}
variant by passing in a local variable that carries the state
information from the begin check into the end check.

No functional change.

3f4ae5fab6 apparmor: fix cred UAF caused by begin_current_label_crit_section()
AppArmor's begin_current_label_crit_section() is a scary function called
from lots of LSM hooks (in particular VFS/socket-related ones) that checks
if the label referenced by the current creds is marked FLAG_STALE, and if
so, attempts to use aa_replace_current_label() to replace the creds with an
updated version that uses a new label.

The first problem with this is that it would directly lead to UAF of
`struct cred` if anything in the kernel takes a pointer to the current
creds and accesses these past a security hook invocation that replaces
creds, like so:
```
const struct cred *cred = current_cred();
alloc_file_pseudo(...);
uid_t uid = cred->euid;
```
I don't know if anything in the kernel actually does this, but I think it
is very surprising that this pattern could lead to UAF.

The second problem is that things go wrong when aa_replace_current_label()
runs with overridden credentials. aa_replace_current_label() bails out if
`current_cred() != current_real_cred()` (mirroring the check in
proc_pid_attr_write()), but this check can't actually reliably detect
overridden credentials because the overridden creds can be the same as the
objective creds.

So in approximately the following scenario, things go wrong:

1. task begins with <creds A> (as both objective and subjective creds),
   with refcount=2
2. task grabs an extra reference on <creds A> for overriding
3. task calls override_creds(<creds A>), which returns a pointer to the old
   subjective creds (<creds A>)
4. task enters AppArmor LSM hook
5. AppArmor checks that objective/subjective creds are equal
6. AppArmor replaces both cred pointers with <creds B> and drops 2 refs on
   <creds A>
7. task leaves AppArmor LSM hook
8. task calls revert_creds(<creds A>)
9. now task->cred is <creds A> while task->real_cred is <creds B>, but the
   task_struct logically holds two references to <creds B>
10. another task drops the extra reference on <creds A> that was used for
    overriding, refcount drops to 0
11. now task->real_cred points to freed creds

At this point, any access to current_cred() will be UAF.

I have a test case where I run aa-disable on a profile while a process
using that profile is blocked on splice() from a FUSE passthrough file into
a full pipe; after the profile update, the pipe becomes empty, splice()
resumes, the credentials go out of sync, and a subsequent getuid() syscall
results in a KASAN UAF splat.

To fix this, instead of directly replacing creds, do it via task_work that
will run at the end of the current syscall. (The point in time at which the
cred replacement happens should have no correctness impact; it is just a
performance optimization to avoid unnecessarily touching the refcount of
the new label.)

Note that AppArmor still performs direct cred replacements in the
sb_pivotroot LSM hook after this change, and that direct cred replacements
can still happen in VFS ->write() callbacks via proc_pid_attr_write().

There are two options for what to do with aa_dup_task_ctx(): Either
explicitly reset new->label_replacement_pending after the entire
aa_task_ctx has been copied, or switch to manually copying members over.
I am switching to manually copying members over because that should make
bugs more obvious.

17b5758bf3 apparmor: Initial support for compressed policies
This patch allows policies to be compressed in userspace and be sent to
the kernel through the existing ".load" and ".replace" kernel interfaces.

The benefits of this approach are:
 - Save kernel time when loading policies
 - Allow userspace to provide a higher level of compression than the one
   provided by the kernel (ZSTD_CLEVEL_DEFAULT), thus saving space.
 - Allow small embedded systems to only store the compressed version of
   policies in userspace, saving memory.

Userspace-compressed policies improve system time by up to ~30% for big
profiles.

6f060496d0 apparmor: fix use-after-free in rawdata dedup loop
aa_replace_profiles() walks ns->rawdata_list to dedup the incoming
policy blob against entries already attached to existing profiles.
Per the kernel-doc on struct aa_loaddata, list membership does not
hold a reference: profiles hold pcount, and when the last pcount
drops, do_ploaddata_rmfs() is queued on a workqueue that takes
ns->lock and removes the entry. Between dropping the last pcount
and the workqueue running, an entry remains on the list with
pcount == 0.

aa_get_profile_loaddata() is an unconditional kref_get() on
pcount, so when the dedup loop hits such an entry, refcount
hardening reports

  refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

inside aa_replace_profiles(), and the poisoned counter then
trips "saturated" and "underflow" warnings on the subsequent
uses of the same loaddata.

Before commit a0b7091c4d ("apparmor: fix race on rawdata
dereference") the dedup path used a get_unless_zero-style helper
on a single counter, so the existing "if (tmp)" guard was
meaningful. The split-refcount refactor introduced
aa_get_profile_loaddata(), which has plain kref_get() semantics,
and the guard quietly became a no-op.

Introduce aa_get_profile_loaddata_not0(), matching the existing
_not0 convention used by aa_get_profile_not0(), and use it for
the rawdata_list dedup lookup so dying entries are skipped.

Reproduced on x86_64 with v7.1-rc5 in QEMU+KVM running Ubuntu
24.04 + stress-ng 0.17.06:

  stress-ng --apparmor 1 --klog-check --timeout 60s

Without this patch the three refcount_t warnings fire within a
few seconds. With it the same 60 s run is clean. Coverage is a
smoke-test only; a longer soak with CONFIG_KASAN, CONFIG_KCSAN
and CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING would be welcome from anyone with the
cycles.

59fe6fbc4c apparmor: remove or add symlinks to rawdata according to export_binary
When the export_binary parameter is set, then rawdata is available and
there should be a symbolic link for the rawdata in the profile
directory in apparmorfs. If the parameter is unset, then the symlinks
should not exist.

The issue arises when changing the value of export_binary on runtime
and replacing profiles. If export_binary was set when the profile was
originally loaded, then changed to 0 and the profile was reloaded,
then the symbolic links would still exist but would return ENOENT
because the rawdata no longer exists.

On the opposite side, if export_binary was unset when the profile was
originally loaded, then changed to 1 and the profile was reloaded,
then the symbolic links would not exist, even though the rawdata does.

Currently fn_label_build() callback fns must provide a transition or
failure. Change this so that a callback can indicate it should be

This will be useful when building object labels based on mediation
flags, as to whether the label should be set.

none of those callback fns support skipping, but instead of the old
error handling replace with AA_BUG.

8e135b8aee apparmor: fix race between freeing data and fs accessing it
AppArmor was putting the reference to i_private data on its end after
removing the original entry from the file system. However the inode
can aand does live beyond that point and it is possible that some of
the fs call back functions will be invoked after the reference has
been put, which results in a race between freeing the data and
accessing it through the fs.

While the rawdata/loaddata is the most likely candidate to fail the
race, as it has the fewest references. If properly crafted it might be
possible to trigger a race for the other types stored in i_private.

Fix this by moving the put of i_private referenced data to the correct
place which is during inode eviction.

a0b7091c4d apparmor: fix race on rawdata dereference
There is a race condition that leads to a use-after-free situation:
because the rawdata inodes are not refcounted, an attacker can start
open()ing one of the rawdata files, and at the same time remove the
last reference to this rawdata (by removing the corresponding profile,
for example), which frees its struct aa_loaddata; as a result, when
seq_rawdata_open() is reached, i_private is a dangling pointer and
freed memory is accessed.

The rawdata inodes weren't refcounted to avoid a circular refcount and
were supposed to be held by the profile rawdata reference.  However
during profile removal there is a window where the vfs and profile
destruction race, resulting in the use after free.

Fix this by moving to a double refcount scheme. Where the profile
refcount on rawdata is used to break the circular dependency. Allowing
for freeing of the rawdata once all inode references to the rawdata
are put.

39440b1375 apparmor: fix differential encoding verification
Differential encoding allows loops to be created if it is abused. To
prevent this the unpack should verify that a diff-encode chain
terminates.

Unfortunately the differential encode verification had two bugs.

1. it conflated states that had gone through check and already been
   marked, with states that were currently being checked and marked.
   This means that loops in the current chain being verified are treated
   as a chain that has already been verified.

2. the order bailout on already checked states compared current chain
   check iterators j,k instead of using the outer loop iterator i.
   Meaning a step backwards in states in the current chain verification
   was being mistaken for moving to an already verified state.

Move to a double mark scheme where already verified states get a
different mark, than the current chain being kept. This enables us
to also drop the backwards verification check that was the cause of
the second error as any already verified state is already marked.

6601e13e82 apparmor: fix unprivileged local user can do privileged policy management
An unprivileged local user can load, replace, and remove profiles by
opening the apparmorfs interfaces, via a confused deputy attack, by
passing the opened fd to a privileged process, and getting the
privileged process to write to the interface.

This does require a privileged target that can be manipulated to do
the write for the unprivileged process, but once such access is
achieved full policy management is possible and all the possible
implications that implies: removing confinement, DoS of system or
target applications by denying all execution, by-passing the
unprivileged user namespace restriction, to exploiting kernel bugs for
a local privilege escalation.

The policy management interface can not have its permissions simply
changed from 0666 to 0600 because non-root processes need to be able
to load policy to different policy namespaces.

Instead ensure the task writing the interface has privileges that
are a subset of the task that opened the interface. This is already
done via policy for confined processes, but unconfined can delegate
access to the opened fd, by-passing the usual policy check.

796c146fa6 apparmor: split xxx_in_ns into its two separate semantic use cases
This patch doesn't change current functionality, it switches the two
uses of the in_ns fns and macros into the two semantically different
cases they are used for.

xxx_in_scope for checking mediation interaction between profiles
xxx_in_view to determine which profiles are visible.The scope will
always be a subset of the view as profiles that can not see each
other can not interact.

The split can not be completely done for label_match because it has to
distinct uses matching permission against label in scope, and checking
if a transition to a profile is allowed. The transition to a profile
can include profiles that are in view but not in scope, so retain this
distinction as a parameter.

While at the moment the two uses are very similar, in the future there
will be additional differences. So make sure the semantics differences
are present in the code.

9afdc6abb0 apparmor: transition from a list of rules to a vector of rules
The set of rules on a profile is not dynamically extended, instead
if a new ruleset is needed a new version of the profile is created.
This allows us to use a vector of rules instead of a list, slightly
reducing memory usage and simplifying the code.

6456ccbd2f apparmor: fix regression in fs based unix sockets when using old abi
Policy loaded using abi 7 socket mediation was not being applied
correctly in all cases. In some cases with fs based unix sockets a
subset of permissions where allowed when they should have been denied.

This was happening because the check for if the socket was an fs based
unix socket came before the abi check. But the abi check is where the
correct path is selected, so having the fs unix socket check occur
early would cause the wrong code path to be used.

Fix this by pushing the fs unix to be done after the abi check.

Same as aa_get_newest_cred_label_condref().

This avoids a bunch of work overall and allows the compiler to note when no
clean up is necessary, allowing for tail calls.

This in particular happens in apparmor_file_permission(), which manages to
tail call aa_file_perm() 105 bytes in (vs a regular call 112 bytes in
followed by branches to figure out if clean up is needed).

aff426f359 apparmor: mitigate parser generating large xtables
Some versions of the parser are generating an xtable transition per
state in the state machine, even when the state machine isn't using
the transition table.

The parser bug is triggered by
commit 2e12c5f060 ("apparmor: add additional flags to extended permission.")

In addition to fixing this in userspace, mitigate this in the kernel
as part of the policy verification checks by detecting this situation
and adjusting to what is actually used, or if not used at all freeing
it, so we are not wasting unneeded memory on policy.

The label struct is variable length. While its use in struct aa_profile
is fixed length at 2 entries the variable length member needs to be
the last member in the structure.

The code already does this but the comment has it in the wrong location.
Also add a comment to ensure it stays at the end of the structure.

a88db916b8 apparmor: fix loop detection used in conflicting attachment resolution
Conflicting attachment resolution is based on the number of states
traversed to reach an accepting state in the attachment DFA, accounting
for DFA loops traversed during the matching process. However, the loop
counting logic had multiple bugs:

 - The inc_wb_pos macro increments both position and length, but length
   is supposed to saturate upon hitting buffer capacity, instead of
   wrapping around.
 - If no revisited state is found when traversing the history, is_loop
   would still return true, as if there was a loop found the length of
   the history buffer, instead of returning false and signalling that
   no loop was found. As a result, the adjustment step of
   aa_dfa_leftmatch would sometimes produce negative counts with loop-
   free DFAs that traversed enough states.
 - The iteration in the is_loop for loop is supposed to stop before
   i = wb->len, so the conditional should be < instead of <=.

This patch fixes the above bugs as well as the following nits:
 - The count and size fields in struct match_workbuf were not used,
   so they can be removed.
 - The history buffer in match_workbuf semantically stores aa_state_t
   and not unsigned ints, even if aa_state_t is currently unsigned int.
 - The local variables in is_loop are counters, and thus should be
   unsigned ints instead of aa_state_t's.

dcd7a55941 apparmor: gate make fine grained unix mediation behind v9 abi
Fine grained unix mediation in Ubuntu used ABI v7, and policy using
this has propogated onto systems where fine grained unix mediation was
not supported. The userspace policy compiler supports downgrading
policy so the policy could be shared without changes.

Unfortunately this had the side effect that policy was not updated for
the none Ubuntu systems and enabling fine grained unix mediation on
those systems means that a new kernel can break a system with existing
policy that worked with the previous kernel. With fine grained af_unix
mediation this regression can easily break the system causing boot to
fail, as it affect unix socket files, non-file based unix sockets, and
dbus communication.

To aoid this regression move fine grained af_unix mediation behind
a new abi. This means that the system's userspace and policy must
be updated to support the new policy before it takes affect and
dropping a new kernel on existing system will not result in a
regression.

The abi bump is done in such a way as existing policy can be activated
on the system by changing the policy abi declaration and existing unix
policy rules will apply. Policy then only needs to be incrementally
updated, can even be backported to existing Ubuntu policy.

c05e705812 apparmor: add fine grained af_unix mediation
Extend af_unix mediation to support fine grained controls based on
the type (abstract, anonymous, fs), the address, and the labeling
on the socket.

This allows for using socket addresses to label and the socket and
control which subjects can communicate.

The unix rule format follows standard apparmor rules except that fs
based unix sockets can be mediated by existing file rules. None fs
unix sockets can be mediated by a unix socket rule. Where The address
of an abstract unix domain socket begins with the @ character, similar
to how they are reported (as paths) by netstat -x.  The address then
follows and may contain pattern matching and any characters including
the null character. In apparmor null characters must be specified by
using an escape sequence \000 or \x00. The pattern matching is the
same as is used by file path matching so * will not match / even
though it has no special meaning with in an abstract socket name. Eg.

     allow unix addr=@*,

Autobound unix domain sockets have a unix sun_path assigned to them by
the kernel, as such specifying a policy based address is not possible.
The autobinding of sockets can be controlled by specifying the special
auto keyword. Eg.

     allow unix addr=auto,

To indicate that the rule only applies to auto binding of unix domain
sockets.  It is important to note this only applies to the bind
permission as once the socket is bound to an address it is
indistinguishable from a socket that have an addr bound with a
specified name. When the auto keyword is used with other permissions
or as part of a peer addr it will be replaced with a pattern that can
match an autobound socket. Eg. For some kernels

    allow unix rw addr=auto,

It is important to note, this pattern may match abstract sockets that
were not autobound but have an addr that fits what is generated by the
kernel when autobinding a socket.

Anonymous unix domain sockets have no sun_path associated with the
socket address, however it can be specified with the special none
keyword to indicate the rule only applies to anonymous unix domain
sockets. Eg.

    allow unix addr=none,

If the address component of a rule is not specified then the rule
applies to autobind, abstract and anonymous sockets.

The label on the socket can be compared using the standard label=
rule conditional. Eg.

    allow unix addr=@foo peer=(label=bar),

ce9e3b3fa2 apparmor: add ability to mediate caps with policy state machine
Currently the caps encoding is very limited and can't be used with
conditionals. Allow capabilities to be mediated by the state
machine. This will allow us to add conditionals to capabilities that
aren't possible with the current encoding.

This patch only adds support for using the state machine and retains
the old encoding lookup as part of the runtime mediation code to
support older policy abis. A follow on patch will move backwards
compatibility to a mapping function done at policy load time.

2e12c5f060 apparmor: add additional flags to extended permission.
This is a step towards merging the file and policy state machines.

With the switch to extended permissions the state machine's ACCEPT2
table became unused freeing it up to store state specific flags. The
first flags to be stored are FLAG_OWNER and FLAG other which paves the
way towards merging the file and policydb perms into a single
permission table.

Currently Lookups based on the objects ownership conditional will
still need separate fns, this will be address in a following patch.
