2026-04-28selinux: fix avdcache auditingStephen Smalley
The per-task avdcache was incorrectly saving and reusing the audited vector computed by avc_audit_required() rather than recomputing based on the currently requested permissions and distinguishing the denied versus allowed cases. As a result, some permission checks were not being audited, e.g. directory write checks after a previously cached directory search check.

2026-04-03selinux: fix overlayfs mmap() and mprotect() access checksPaul Moore
The existing SELinux security model for overlayfs is to allow access if the current task is able to access the top level file (the "user" file) and the mounter's credentials are sufficient to access the lower level file (the "backing" file). Unfortunately, the current code does not properly enforce these access controls for both mmap() and mprotect() operations on overlayfs filesystems. This patch makes use of the newly created security_mmap_backing_file() LSM hook to provide the missing backing file enforcement for mmap() operations, and leverages the backing file API and new LSM blob to provide the necessary information to properly enforce the mprotect() access controls.

2026-01-13selinux: add support for BPF token access controlEric Suen
BPF token support was introduced to allow a privileged process to delegate limited BPF functionality—such as map creation and program loading—to an unprivileged process: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/20231130185229.2688956-1-andrii@kernel.org/ This patch adds SELinux support for controlling BPF token access. With this change, SELinux policies can now enforce constraints on BPF token usage based on both the delegating (privileged) process and the recipient (unprivileged) process. Supported operations currently include: - map_create - prog_load High-level workflow: 1. An unprivileged process creates a VFS context via `fsopen()` and obtains a file descriptor. 2. This descriptor is passed to a privileged process, which configures BPF token delegation options and mounts a BPF filesystem. 3. SELinux records the `creator_sid` of the privileged process during mount setup. 4. The unprivileged process then uses this BPF fs mount to create a token and attach it to subsequent BPF syscalls. 5. During verification of `map_create` and `prog_load`, SELinux uses `creator_sid` and the current SID to check policy permissions via: avc_has_perm(creator_sid, current_sid, SECCLASS_BPF, BPF__MAP_CREATE, NULL); The implementation introduces two new permissions: - map_create_as - prog_load_as At token creation time, SELinux verifies that the current process has the appropriate `*_as` permission (depending on the `allowed_cmds` value in the bpf_token) to act on behalf of the `creator_sid`. Example SELinux policy: allow test_bpf_t self:bpf { map_create map_read map_write prog_load prog_run map_create_as prog_load_as }; Additionally, a new policy capability bpf_token_perms is added to ensure backward compatibility. If disabled, previous behavior ((checks based on current process SID)) is preserved.

2025-06-19selinux: optimize selinux_inode_getattr/permission() based on ↵Stephen Smalley
neveraudit|permissive Extend the task avdcache to also cache whether the task SID is both permissive and neveraudit, and return immediately if so in both selinux_inode_getattr() and selinux_inode_permission(). The same approach could be applied to many of the hook functions although the avdcache would need to be updated for more than directory search checks in order for this optimization to be beneficial for checks on objects other than directories. To test, apply https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/pull/473 to your selinux userspace, build and install libsepol, and use the following CIL policy module: $ cat neverauditpermissive.cil (typeneveraudit unconfined_t) (typepermissive unconfined_t) Without this module inserted, running the following commands: perf record make -jN # on an already built allmodconfig tree perf report --sort=symbol,dso yields the following percentages (only showing __d_lookup_rcu for reference and only showing relevant SELinux functions): 1.65% [k] __d_lookup_rcu 0.53% [k] selinux_inode_permission 0.40% [k] selinux_inode_getattr 0.15% [k] avc_lookup 0.05% [k] avc_has_perm 0.05% [k] avc_has_perm_noaudit 0.02% [k] avc_policy_seqno 0.02% [k] selinux_file_permission 0.01% [k] selinux_inode_alloc_security 0.01% [k] selinux_file_alloc_security for a total of 1.24% for SELinux compared to 1.65% for __d_lookup_rcu(). After running the following command to insert this module: semodule -i neverauditpermissive.cil and then re-running the same perf commands from above yields the following non-zero percentages: 1.74% [k] __d_lookup_rcu 0.31% [k] selinux_inode_permission 0.03% [k] selinux_inode_getattr 0.03% [k] avc_policy_seqno 0.01% [k] avc_lookup 0.01% [k] selinux_file_permission 0.01% [k] selinux_file_open for a total of 0.40% for SELinux compared to 1.74% for __d_lookup_rcu().

2025-04-11selinux: reduce path walk overheadPaul Moore
Reduce the SELinux performance overhead during path walks through the use of a per-task directory access cache and some minor code optimizations. The directory access cache is per-task because it allows for a lockless cache while also fitting well with a common application pattern of heavily accessing a relatively small number of SELinux directory labels. The cache is inherited by child processes when the child runs with the same SELinux domain as the parent, and invalidated on changes to the task's SELinux domain or the loaded SELinux policy. A cache of four entries was chosen based on testing with the Fedora "targeted" policy, a SELinux Reference Policy variant, and 'make allmodconfig' on Linux v6.14. Code optimizations include better use of inline functions to reduce function calls in the common case, especially in the inode revalidation code paths, and elimination of redundant checks between the LSM and SELinux layers. As mentioned briefly above, aside from general use and regression testing with the selinux-testsuite, performance was measured using 'make allmodconfig' with Linux v6.14 as a base reference. As expected, there were variations from one test run to another, but the measurements below are a good representation of the test results seen on my test system. * Linux v6.14 REF 1.26% [k] __d_lookup_rcu SELINUX (1.31%) 0.58% [k] selinux_inode_permission 0.29% [k] avc_lookup 0.25% [k] avc_has_perm_noaudit 0.19% [k] __inode_security_revalidate * Linux v6.14 + patch REF 1.41% [k] __d_lookup_rcu SELINUX (0.89%) 0.65% [k] selinux_inode_permission 0.15% [k] avc_lookup 0.05% [k] avc_has_perm_noaudit 0.04% [k] avc_policy_seqno X.XX% [k] __inode_security_revalidate (now inline) In both cases the __d_lookup_rcu() function was used as a reference point to establish a context for the SELinux related functions. On a unpatched Linux v6.14 system we see the time spent in the combined SELinux functions exceeded that of __d_lookup_rcu(), 1.31% compared to 1.26%. However, with this patch applied the time spent in the combined SELinux functions dropped to roughly 65% of the time spent in __d_lookup_rcu(), 0.89% compared to 1.41%. Aside from the significant decrease in time spent in the SELinux AVC, it appears that any additional time spent searching and updating the cache is offset by other code improvements, e.g. time spent in selinux_inode_permission() + __inode_security_revalidate() + avc_policy_seqno() is less on the patched kernel than the unpatched kernel. It is worth noting that in this patch the use of the per-task cache is limited to the security_inode_permission() LSM callback, selinux_inode_permission(), but future work could expand the cache into inode_has_perm(), likely through consolidation of the two functions. While this would likely have little to no impact on path walks, it may benefit other operations.

2019-10-17perf_event: Add support for LSM and SELinux checksJoel Fernandes (Google)
In current mainline, the degree of access to perf_event_open(2) system call depends on the perf_event_paranoid sysctl. This has a number of limitations: 1. The sysctl is only a single value. Many types of accesses are controlled based on the single value thus making the control very limited and coarse grained. 2. The sysctl is global, so if the sysctl is changed, then that means all processes get access to perf_event_open(2) opening the door to security issues. This patch adds LSM and SELinux access checking which will be used in Android to access perf_event_open(2) for the purposes of attaching BPF programs to tracepoints, perf profiling and other operations from userspace. These operations are intended for production systems. 5 new LSM hooks are added: 1. perf_event_open: This controls access during the perf_event_open(2) syscall itself. The hook is called from all the places that the perf_event_paranoid sysctl is checked to keep it consistent with the systctl. The hook gets passed a 'type' argument which controls CPU, kernel and tracepoint accesses (in this context, CPU, kernel and tracepoint have the same semantics as the perf_event_paranoid sysctl). Additionally, I added an 'open' type which is similar to perf_event_paranoid sysctl == 3 patch carried in Android and several other distros but was rejected in mainline [1] in 2016. 2. perf_event_alloc: This allocates a new security object for the event which stores the current SID within the event. It will be useful when the perf event's FD is passed through IPC to another process which may try to read the FD. Appropriate security checks will limit access. 3. perf_event_free: Called when the event is closed. 4. perf_event_read: Called from the read(2) and mmap(2) syscalls for the event. 5. perf_event_write: Called from the ioctl(2) syscalls for the event. [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/696240/ Since Peter had suggest LSM hooks in 2016 [1], I am adding his Suggested-by tag below. To use this patch, we set the perf_event_paranoid sysctl to -1 and then apply selinux checking as appropriate (default deny everything, and then add policy rules to give access to domains that need it). In the future we can remove the perf_event_paranoid sysctl altogether.

2019-09-04selinux: fix residual uses of current_security() for the SELinux blobStephen Smalley
We need to use selinux_cred() to fetch the SELinux cred blob instead of directly using current->security or current_security(). There were a couple of lingering uses of current_security() in the SELinux code that were apparently missed during the earlier conversions. IIUC, this would only manifest as a bug if multiple security modules including SELinux are enabled and SELinux is not first in the lsm order. After this change, there appear to be no other users of current_security() in-tree; perhaps we should remove it altogether.

2018-03-01selinux: wrap global selinux stateStephen Smalley
Define a selinux state structure (struct selinux_state) for global SELinux state and pass it explicitly to all security server functions. The public portion of the structure contains state that is used throughout the SELinux code, such as the enforcing mode. The structure also contains a pointer to a selinux_ss structure whose definition is private to the security server and contains security server specific state such as the policy database and SID table. This change should have no effect on SELinux behavior or APIs (userspace or LSM). It merely wraps SELinux state and passes it explicitly as needed.

Implement the actual checks introduced to eBPF related syscalls. This implementation use the security field inside bpf object to store a sid that identify the bpf object. And when processes try to access the object, selinux will check if processes have the right privileges. The creation of eBPF object are also checked at the general bpf check hook and new cmd introduced to eBPF domain can also be checked there.

2017-01-09selinux: clean up cred usage and simplifyStephen Smalley
SELinux was sometimes using the task "objective" credentials when it could/should use the "subjective" credentials. This was sometimes hidden by the fact that we were unnecessarily passing around pointers to the current task, making it appear as if the task could be something other than current, so eliminate all such passing of current. Inline various permission checking helper functions that can be reduced to a single avc_has_perm() call. Since the credentials infrastructure only allows a task to alter its own credentials, we can always assume that current must be the same as the target task in selinux_setprocattr after the check. We likely should move this check from selinux_setprocattr() to proc_pid_attr_write() and drop the task argument to the security hook altogether; it can only serve to confuse things.

2016-11-22selinux: Convert isec->lock into a spinlockAndreas Gruenbacher
Convert isec->lock from a mutex into a spinlock. Instead of holding the lock while sleeping in inode_doinit_with_dentry, set isec->initialized to LABEL_PENDING and release the lock. Then, when the sid has been determined, re-acquire the lock. If isec->initialized is still set to LABEL_PENDING, set isec->sid; otherwise, the sid has been set by another task (LABEL_INITIALIZED) or invalidated (LABEL_INVALID) in the meantime. This fixes a deadlock on gfs2 where * one task is in inode_doinit_with_dentry -> gfs2_getxattr, holds isec->lock, and tries to acquire the inode's glock, and * another task is in do_xmote -> inode_go_inval -> selinux_inode_invalidate_secctx, holds the inode's glock, and tries to acquire isec->lock.

2014-09-10selinux: make the netif cache namespace awarePaul Moore
While SELinux largely ignores namespaces, for good reason, there are some places where it needs to at least be aware of namespaces in order to function correctly. Network namespaces are one example. Basic awareness of network namespaces are necessary in order to match a network interface's index number to an actual network device. This patch corrects a problem with network interfaces added to a non-init namespace, and can be reproduced with the following commands: [NOTE: the NetLabel configuration is here only to active the dynamic networking controls ] # netlabelctl unlbl add default address:0.0.0.0/0 \ label:system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 # netlabelctl unlbl add default address:::/0 \ label:system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 # netlabelctl cipsov4 add pass doi:100 tags:1 # netlabelctl map add domain:lspp_test_netlabel_t \ protocol:cipsov4,100 # ip link add type veth # ip netns add myns # ip link set veth1 netns myns # ip a add dev veth0 10.250.13.100/24 # ip netns exec myns ip a add dev veth1 10.250.13.101/24 # ip l set veth0 up # ip netns exec myns ip l set veth1 up # ping -c 1 10.250.13.101 # ip netns exec myns ping -c 1 10.250.13.100 Reported-by: Jiri Jaburek <jjaburek@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com>

I was not able to recreate this via normal files. But I'm not sure they are safe. It may just be that the race window is much harder to hit. What seems to have happened (and what I have traced), is the file is being opened at the same time the file or directory is being deleted. As the dentry and inode locks are not held during the path walk, nor is the inodes ref counts being incremented, there is nothing saving these structures from being discarded except for an rcu_read_lock(). The rcu_read_lock() protects against freeing of the inode, but it does not protect freeing of the inode_security_struct. Now if the freeing of the i_security happens with a call_rcu(), and the i_security field of the inode is not changed (it gets freed as the inode gets freed) then there will be no issue here. (Linus Torvalds suggested not setting the field to NULL such that we do not need to check if it is NULL in the permission check). Note, this is a hack, but it fixes the problem at hand. A real fix is to restructure the destroy_inode() to call all the destructor handlers from the RCU callback. But that is a major job to do, and requires a lot of work. For now, we just band-aid this bug with this fix (it works), and work on a more maintainable solution in the future.

2013-01-14tun: fix LSM/SELinux labeling of tun/tap devicesPaul Moore
This patch corrects some problems with LSM/SELinux that were introduced with the multiqueue patchset. The problem stems from the fact that the multiqueue work changed the relationship between the tun device and its associated socket; before the socket persisted for the life of the device, however after the multiqueue changes the socket only persisted for the life of the userspace connection (fd open). For non-persistent devices this is not an issue, but for persistent devices this can cause the tun device to lose its SELinux label. We correct this problem by adding an opaque LSM security blob to the tun device struct which allows us to have the LSM security state, e.g. SELinux labeling information, persist for the lifetime of the tun device. In the process we tweak the LSM hooks to work with this new approach to TUN device/socket labeling and introduce a new LSM hook, security_tun_dev_attach_queue(), to approve requests to attach to a TUN queue via TUNSETQUEUE. The SELinux code has been adjusted to match the new LSM hooks, the other LSMs do not make use of the LSM TUN controls. This patch makes use of the recently added "tun_socket:attach_queue" permission to restrict access to the TUNSETQUEUE operation. On older SELinux policies which do not define the "tun_socket:attach_queue" permission the access control decision for TUNSETQUEUE will be handled according to the SELinux policy's unknown permission setting.

code. The super block security structure currently has three fields for what are essentially flags. The flags field is used for mount options while two other char fields are used for initialization and proc flags. These latter two fields are essentially bit fields since the only used values are 0 and 1. These fields have been collapsed into the flags field and new bit masks have been added for them. The code is also fixed to work with these new flags. Signed-off-by: David P.
