<id>urn:sha1:15ed746c6d50f0f84b2bcdf1219782e4bbdc7585</id>

commit 82c9a927bc5df6e06b72d206d24a9d10cced4eb5 upstream.

When running in a container with a user namespace, if you call getxattr
with name = "system.posix_acl_access" and size % 8 != 4, then getxattr
silently skips the user namespace fixup that it normally does resulting in
un-fixed-up data being returned.
This is caused by posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user() being passed the total
buffer size and not the actual size of the xattr as returned by
vfs_getxattr().
This commit passes the actual length of the xattr as returned by
vfs_getxattr() down.

A reproducer for the issue is:

  touch acl_posix

  setfacl -m user:0:rwx acl_posix

and the compile:

  #define _GNU_SOURCE
  #include &lt;errno.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
  #include &lt;string.h&gt;
  #include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
  #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
  #include &lt;attr/xattr.h&gt;

  /* Run in user namespace with nsuid 0 mapped to uid != 0 on the host. */
  int main(int argc, void **argv)
  {
          ssize_t ret1, ret2;
          char buf1[128], buf2[132];
          int fret = EXIT_SUCCESS;
          char *file;

          if (argc &lt; 2) {
                  fprintf(stderr,
                          "Please specify a file with "
                          "\"system.posix_acl_access\" permissions set\n");
                  _exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
          }
          file = argv[1];

          ret1 = getxattr(file, "system.posix_acl_access",
                          buf1, sizeof(buf1));
          if (ret1 &lt; 0) {
                  fprintf(stderr, "%s - Failed to retrieve "
                                  "\"system.posix_acl_access\" "

                                  "from \"%s\"\n", strerror(errno), file);
                  _exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
          }

          if (ret1 != ret2) {
                  fprintf(stderr, "The value of \"system.posix_acl_"
                                  "access\" for file \"%s\" changed "

          for (ssize_t i = 0; i &lt; ret2; i++) {
                  if (buf1[i] == buf2[i])
                          continue;

                  fprintf(stderr,
                          "Unexpected different in byte %zd: "
                          "%02x != %02x\n", i, buf1[i], buf2[i]);
                  fret = EXIT_FAILURE;
          }

          if (fret == EXIT_SUCCESS)
                  fprintf(stderr, "Test passed\n");
          else
                  fprintf(stderr, "Test failed\n");

          _exit(fret);
  }
and run:

  ./tester acl_posix

On a non-fixed up kernel this should return something like:

  root@c1:/# ./t
  Unexpected different in byte 16: ffffffa0 != 00
  Unexpected different in byte 17: ffffff86 != 00
  Unexpected different in byte 18: 01 != 00

and on a fixed kernel:

  root@c1:~# ./t
  Test passed

<id>urn:sha1:c3e0f30a8b1b82a60f54426844b3017c16b18b85</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 57e7ba04d422c3d41c8426380303ec9b7533ded9 upstream.

security_inode_getsecurity() provides the text string value
of a security attribute. It does not provide a "secctx".
The code in xattr_getsecurity() that calls security_inode_getsecurity()
and then calls security_release_secctx() happened to work because
SElinux and Smack treat the attribute and the secctx the same way.
It fails for cap_inode_getsecurity(), because that module has no
secctx that ever needs releasing. It turns out that Smack is the
one that's doing things wrong by not allocating memory when instructed
to do so by the "alloc" parameter.

The fix is simple enough. Change the security_release_secctx() to
kfree() because it isn't a secctx being returned by
security_inode_getsecurity(). Change Smack to allocate the string when
told to do so.

Note: this also fixes memory leaks for LSMs which implement
inode_getsecurity but not release_secctx, such as capabilities.

<title>fs/xattr.c: zero out memory copied to userspace in getxattr</title>

commit 81be3dee96346fbe08c31be5ef74f03f6b63cf68 upstream.

getxattr uses vmalloc to allocate memory if kzalloc fails.  This is
filled by vfs_getxattr and then copied to the userspace.  vmalloc,
however, doesn't zero out the memory so if the specific implementation
of the xattr handler is sloppy we can theoretically expose a kernel
memory.  There is no real sign this is really the case but let's make
sure this will not happen and use vzalloc instead.

<title>simple_xattr: permit 0-size extended attributes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4e66d445d0421a159135572a0ba44b75c7c4adfa</id>
<content type='text'>
If a filesystem uses simple_xattr to support user extended attributes,
LTP setxattr01 and xfstests generic/062 fail with "Cannot allocate
memory": simple_xattr_alloc()'s wrap-around test mistakenly excludes
values of zero size.  Fix that off-by-one (but apparently no filesystem
needs them yet).
