------------------ From: Christian Brauner <christ...@brauner.io> 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 <errno.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <attr/xattr.h> /* 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 < 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 < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "%s - Failed to retrieve " "\"system.posix_acl_access\" " "from \"%s\"\n", strerror(errno), file); _exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } ret2 = getxattr(file, "system.posix_acl_access", buf2, sizeof(buf2)); if (ret2 < 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 " "between two successive calls\n", file); _exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } for (ssize_t i = 0; i < 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 Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 2f6f0654ab61 ("userns: Convert vfs posix_acl support to use kuids and kgids") Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199945 Reported-by: Colin Watson <cjwat...@ubuntu.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christ...@brauner.io> Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <se...@hallyn.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.
