commit e2598077dc6a26c9644393e5c21f22a90dbdccdb upstream.

Intermittently security.ima is not being written for new files.  This
patch re-initializes the new slab iint-&gt;atomic_flags field before
freeing it.

commit 0d73a55208e94fc9fb6deaeea61438cd3280d4c0 upstream.

Before IMA appraisal was introduced, IMA was using own integrity cache
lock along with i_mutex. process_measurement and ima_file_free took
the iint-&gt;mutex first and then the i_mutex, while setxattr, chmod and
chown took the locks in reverse order. To resolve the potential deadlock,
i_mutex was moved to protect entire IMA functionality and the redundant
iint-&gt;mutex was eliminated.

Solution was based on the assumption that filesystem code does not take
i_mutex further. But when file is opened with O_DIRECT flag, direct-io
implementation takes i_mutex and produces deadlock. Furthermore, certain
other filesystem operations, such as llseek, also take i_mutex.

More recently some filesystems have replaced their filesystem specific
lock with the global i_rwsem to read a file.  As a result, when IMA
attempts to calculate the file hash, reading the file attempts to take
the i_rwsem again.

To resolve O_DIRECT related deadlock problem, this patch re-introduces
iint-&gt;mutex. But to eliminate the original chmod() related deadlock
problem, this patch eliminates the requirement for chmod hooks to take
the iint-&gt;mutex by introducing additional atomic iint-&gt;attr_flags to
indicate calling of the hooks. The allowed locking order is to take
the iint-&gt;mutex first and then the i_rwsem.

Original flags were cleared in chmod(), setxattr() or removwxattr()
hooks and tested when file was closed or opened again. New atomic flags
are set or cleared in those hooks and tested to clear iint-&gt;flags on
close or on open.

Atomic flags are following:
* IMA_CHANGE_ATTR - indicates that chATTR() was called (chmod, chown,
  chgrp) and file attributes have changed. On file open, it causes IMA
  to clear iint-&gt;flags to re-evaluate policy and perform IMA functions
  again.
* IMA_CHANGE_XATTR - indicates that setxattr or removexattr was called
  and extended attributes have changed. On file open, it causes IMA to
  clear iint-&gt;flags IMA_DONE_MASK to re-appraise.
* IMA_UPDATE_XATTR - indicates that security.ima needs to be updated.
  It is cleared if file policy changes and no update is needed.
* IMA_DIGSIG - indicates that file security.ima has signature and file
  security.ima must not update to file has on file close.
* IMA_MUST_MEASURE - indicates the file is in the measurement policy.

Fixes: Commit 6552321831dc ("xfs: remove i_iolock and use i_rwsem in
the VFS inode instead")

<title>EVM: Add support for portable signature format</title>

commit 50b977481fce90aa5fbda55e330b9d722733e358 upstream.

The EVM signature includes the inode number and (optionally) the
filesystem UUID, making it impractical to ship EVM signatures in
packages. This patch adds a new portable format intended to allow
distributions to include EVM signatures. It is identical to the existing
format but hardcodes the inode and generation numbers to 0 and does not
include the filesystem UUID even if the kernel is configured to do so.

Removing the inode means that the metadata and signature from one file
could be copied to another file without invalidating it. This is avoided
by ensuring that an IMA xattr is present during EVM validation.

Portable signatures are intended to be immutable - ie, they will never
be transformed into HMACs.

Based on earlier work by Dmitry Kasatkin and Mikhail Kurinnoi.

<title>ima: always measure and audit files in policy</title>

commit f3cc6b25dcc5616f0d5c720009b2ac66f97df2ff upstream.

All files matching a "measure" rule must be included in the IMA
measurement list, even when the file hash cannot be calculated.
Similarly, all files matching an "audit" rule must be audited, even when
the file hash can not be calculated.

The file data hash field contained in the IMA measurement list template
data will contain 0's instead of the actual file hash digest.

Note:
In general, adding, deleting or in anyway changing which files are
included in the IMA measurement list is not a good idea, as it might
result in not being able to unseal trusted keys sealed to a specific
TPM PCR value.  This patch not only adds file measurements that were
not previously measured, but specifies that the file hash value for
these files will be 0's.

As the IMA measurement list ordering is not consistent from one boot
to the next, it is unlikely that anyone is sealing keys based on the
IMA measurement list.  Remote attestation servers should be able to
process these new measurement records, but might complain about
these unknown records.

commit 19339c251607a3defc7f089511ce8561936fee45 upstream.

This reverts commit 0b3c9761d1e405514a551ed24d3ea89aea26ce14.

Seth Forshee &lt;seth.forshee@canonical.com&gt; writes:
&gt; All right, I think 0b3c9761d1e405514a551ed24d3ea89aea26ce14 should be
&gt; reverted then. EVM is a machine-local integrity mechanism, and so it
&gt; makes sense that the signature would be based on the kernel's notion of
&gt; the uid and not the filesystem's.

I added a commment explaining why the EVM hmac needs to be in the
kernel's notion of uid and gid, not the filesystems to prevent
remounting the filesystem and gaining unwaranted trust in files.

commit f18fa5de5ba7f1d6650951502bb96a6e4715a948 upstream.

This patch initialize stack variables which are used in
frag_lowpan_compare_key to zero. In my case there are padding bytes in the
structures ieee802154_addr as well in frag_lowpan_compare_key. Otherwise
the key variable contains random bytes. The result is that a compare of
two keys by memcmp works incorrect.

Userspace could have munmapped the area before doing unmapping from

from which we would try to zap memory.

commit 760db29bdc97b73ff60b091315ad787b1deb5cf5 upstream.

There is a standard mechanism for locating and using a MAC address from
the Device Tree. Use this facility in the lan78xx driver to support
applications without programmed EEPROM or OTP. At the same time,
regularise the handling of the different address sources.

commit 30aba6656f61ed44cba445a3c0d38b296fa9e8f5 upstream.

Disallows open of FIFOs or regular files not owned by the user in world
writable sticky directories, unless the owner is the same as that of the
directory or the file is opened without the O_CREAT flag.  The purpose
is to make data spoofing attacks harder.  This protection can be turned
on and off separately for FIFOs and regular files via sysctl, just like
the symlinks/hardlinks protection.  This patch is based on Openwall's
"HARDEN_FIFO" feature by Solar Designer.

This is a brief list of old vulnerabilities that could have been prevented
by this feature, some of them even allow for privilege escalation:

CVE-2000-1134
CVE-2007-3852
CVE-2008-0525
CVE-2009-0416
CVE-2011-4834
CVE-2015-1838
CVE-2015-7442
CVE-2016-7489

This list is not meant to be complete.  It's difficult to track down all
vulnerabilities of this kind because they were often reported without any
mention of this particular attack vector.  In fact, before
hardlinks/symlinks restrictions, fifos/regular files weren't the favorite
vehicle to exploit them.
