2025-04-20landlock: Always allow signals between threads of the same processMickaël Salaün
commit 18eb75f3af40be1f0fc2025d4ff821711222a2fd upstream. Because Linux credentials are managed per thread, user space relies on some hack to synchronize credential update across threads from the same process. This is required by the Native POSIX Threads Library and implemented by set*id(2) wrappers and libcap(3) to use tgkill(2) to synchronize threads. See nptl(7) and libpsx(3). Furthermore, some runtimes like Go do not enable developers to have control over threads [1]. To avoid potential issues, and because threads are not security boundaries, let's relax the Landlock (optional) signal scoping to always allow signals sent between threads of the same process. This exception is similar to the __ptrace_may_access() one. hook_file_set_fowner() now checks if the target task is part of the same process as the caller. If this is the case, then the related signal triggered by the socket will always be allowed. Scoping of abstract UNIX sockets is not changed because kernel objects (e.g. sockets) should be tied to their creator's domain at creation time. Note that creating one Landlock domain per thread puts each of these threads (and their future children) in their own scope, which is probably not what users expect, especially in Go where we do not control threads. However, being able to drop permissions on all threads should not be restricted by signal scoping. We are working on a way to make it possible to atomically restrict all threads of a process with the same domain [2]. Add erratum for signal scoping.

2024-11-09landlock: Optimize scope enforcementMickaël Salaün
Do not walk through the domain hierarchy when the required scope is not supported by this domain. This is the same approach as for filesystem and network restrictions.

2024-09-16landlock: Add signal scopingTahera Fahimi
Currently, a sandbox process is not restricted to sending a signal (e.g. SIGKILL) to a process outside the sandbox environment. The ability to send a signal for a sandboxed process should be scoped the same way abstract UNIX sockets are scoped. Therefore, we extend the "scoped" field in a ruleset with LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL to specify that a ruleset will deny sending any signal from within a sandbox process to its parent (i.e. any parent sandbox or non-sandboxed processes). This patch adds file_set_fowner and file_free_security hooks to set and release a pointer to the file owner's domain. This pointer, fown_domain in landlock_file_security will be used in file_send_sigiotask to check if the process can send a signal. The ruleset_with_unknown_scope test is updated to support LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL. This depends on two new changes: - commit 1934b212615d ("file: reclaim 24 bytes from f_owner"): replace container_of(fown, struct file, f_owner) with fown->file . - commit 26f204380a3c ("fs: Fix file_set_fowner LSM hook inconsistencies"): lock before calling the hook.

2024-09-16landlock: Add abstract UNIX socket scopingTahera Fahimi
Introduce a new "scoped" member to landlock_ruleset_attr that can specify LANDLOCK_SCOPE_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET to restrict connection to abstract UNIX sockets from a process outside of the socket's domain. Two hooks are implemented to enforce these restrictions: unix_stream_connect and unix_may_send.

2024-03-08landlock: Rename "ptrace" files to "task"Mickaël Salaün
ptrace.[ch] are currently only used for the ptrace LSM hooks but their scope will expand with IPCs and audit support. Rename ptrace.[ch] to task.[ch], which better reflect their content. Similarly, rename landlock_add_ptrace_hooks() to landlock_add_task_hooks(). Keep header files for now.
