Hi,
This new patch series brings some improvements while simplifying the code, fixes some bugs and adds more tests:
Use a bitfield of layers to properly manage superset and subset of access rights, whatever their order in the stack of layers [1].
Allow to open pipes and similar special files through /proc/self/fd, as well as internal filesystems such as nsfs through /proc/self/ns, because disconnected path cannot be evaluated. Such special filesystems could be handled with a future evolution.
For the sake of simplicity, forbid reparenting when linking or renaming to protect against possible privilege escalation. This could happen by changing the hierarchy of a file or directory in relation to an enforced access policy (from the set of layers). This will be relaxed in the future with more complex code.
Rename the unlink and rmdir access rights to a more generic ones: remove_dir and remove_file. Indeed it makes sense to also use them for the action of renaming a file or a directory, which may lead to the removal of the source file or directory. Replace the link_to, rename_from and rename_to access rights with remove_file, remove_dir and make_* .
Add multiple tests to check semantic, and improve test coverage for security/landlock to 94.1% of lines (best possible with deterministic user space tests).
Add current limitations to documentation: file renaming and linking, OverlayFS and special filesystems (e.g. nsfs).
The previously identified memory accounting limitation can already be solved with the (kernel) Memory Resource Controller from cgroup.
The SLOC count is 1267 for security/landlock/ and 1643 for tools/testing/selftest/landlock/ .
The compiled documentation is available here: https://landlock.io/linux-doc/landlock-v16/security/landlock/index.html
This series can be applied on top of v5.7-rc1. This can be tested with CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK and CONFIG_SAMPLE_LANDLOCK. This patch series can be found in a Git repository here: https://github.com/landlock-lsm/linux/commits/landlock-v16 I would really appreciate constructive comments on this patch series.
# Landlock LSM
The goal of Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g. global filesystem access) for a set of processes. Because Landlock is a stackable LSM [2], it makes possible to create safe security sandboxes as new security layers in addition to the existing system-wide access-controls. This kind of sandbox is expected to help mitigate the security impact of bugs or unexpected/malicious behaviors in user-space applications. Landlock empowers any process, including unprivileged ones, to securely restrict themselves.
Landlock is inspired by seccomp-bpf but instead of filtering syscalls and their raw arguments, a Landlock rule can restrict the use of kernel objects like file hierarchies, according to the kernel semantic. Landlock also takes inspiration from other OS sandbox mechanisms: XNU Sandbox, FreeBSD Capsicum or OpenBSD Pledge/Unveil.
