apparmor: fix race between freeing data and fs accessing it

2026-03-13T16:20:48+00:00

commit 8e135b8aee5a06c52a4347a5a6d51223c6f36ba3 upstream.

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.

apparmor: use the condition in AA_BUG_FMT even with debug disabled

2025-08-20T16:30:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit 67e370aa7f968f6a4f3573ed61a77b36d1b26475 ]

This follows the established practice and fixes a build failure for me:
security/apparmor/file.c: In function ‘__file_sock_perm’:
security/apparmor/file.c:544:24: error: unused variable ‘sock’ [-Werror=unused-variable]
  544 |         struct socket *sock = (struct socket *) file->private_data;
      |                        ^~~~

apparmor: refcount the pdb

2023-10-18T22:30:47+00:00

With the move to permission tables the dfa is no longer a stand
alone entity when used, needing a minimum of a permission table.
However it still could be shared among different pdbs each using
a different permission table.

Instead of duping the permission table when sharing a pdb, add a
refcount to the pdb so it can be easily shared.

apparmor: Free up __cleanup() name

In order to use __cleanup for __attribute__((__cleanup__(func))) the
name must not be used for anything else. Avoid the conflict.

apparmor: preparse for state being more than just an integer

2022-10-03T21:49:03+00:00

Convert from an unsigned int to a state_t for state position. This is
a step in prepping for the state position carrying some additional
flags, and a limited form of backtracking to support variables.

apparmor: fix absroot causing audited secids to begin with =

2022-07-09T22:13:58+00:00

AppArmor is prefixing secids that are converted to secctx with the =
to indicate the secctx should only be parsed from an absolute root
POV. This allows catching errors where secctx are reparsed back into
internal labels.

Unfortunately because audit is using secid to secctx conversion this
means that subject and object labels can result in a very unfortunate
== that can break audit parsing.

eg. the subj==unconfined term in the below audit message

type=USER_LOGIN msg=audit(1639443365.233:160): pid=1633 uid=0 auid=1000
ses=3 subj==unconfined msg='op=login id=1000 exe="/usr/sbin/sshd"
hostname=192.168.122.1 addr=192.168.122.1 terminal=/dev/pts/1 res=success'

Fix this by switch the prepending of = to a _. This still works as a
special character to flag this case without breaking audit. Also move
this check behind debug as it should not be needed during normal
operqation.

apparmor: fix zero-length compiler warning in AA_BUG()

2021-11-03T08:08:15+00:00

Uses of AA_BUG() without a message can result in the compiler warning

  warning: zero-length gnu_printf format string [-Wformat-zero-length]

Fix this with a pragma for now. A larger rework of AA_BUG() will
follow.

apparmor: avoid -Wempty-body warning

2021-11-03T07:46:12+00:00

Building with 'make W=1' shows a warning for an empty macro:

security/apparmor/label.c: In function '__label_update':
security/apparmor/label.c:2096:59: error: suggest braces around empty body in an 'else' statement [-Werror=empty-body]
 2096 |                 AA_BUG(labels_ns(label) != labels_ns(new));

Change the macro definition to use no_printk(), which improves
format string checking and avoids the warning.
