Subject: [RFC PATCH v14 00/10] Landlock LSM
Hi,
This new version of Landlock is a major revamp of the previous series
[1], hence the RFC tag. The three main changes are the replacement of
eBPF with a dedicated safe management of access rules, the replacement
of the use of seccomp(2) with a dedicated syscall, and the management of
filesystem access-control (back from the v10).
As discussed in [2], eBPF may be too powerful and dangerous to be put in
the hand of unprivileged and potentially malicious processes, especially
because of side-channel attacks against access-controls or other parts
of the kernel.
Thanks to this new implementation (1540 SLOC), designed from the ground
to be used by unprivileged processes, this series enables a process to
sandbox itself without requiring CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but only the
no_new_privs constraint (like seccomp). Not relying on eBPF also
enables to improve performances, especially for stacked security
policies thanks to mergeable rulesets.
The compiled documentation is available here:
https://landlock.io/linux-doc/landlock-v14/security/landlock/index.html
This series can be applied on top of v5.6-rc3. 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-v14
I would really appreciate constructive comments on the design and the code.
# 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 [3], 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 empower 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.
# Current limitations
## Path walk
Landlock need to use dentries to identify a file hierarchy, which is
needed for composable and unprivileged access-controls. This means that
path resolution/walking (handled with inode_permission()) is not
supported, yet. This could be filled with a future extension first of
the LSM framework. The Landlock userspace ABI can handle such change
with new option (e.g. to the struct landlock_ruleset).
## UnionFS
An UnionFS super-block use a set of upper and lower directories. An
access request to a file in one of these hierarchy trigger a call to
ovl_path_real() which generate another access request according to the
matching hierarchy. Because such super-block is not aware of its current
mount point, OverlayFS can't create a dedicated mnt_parent for each of
the upper and lower directories mount clones. It is then not currently
possible to track the source of such indirect access-request, and then
not possible to identify a unified OverlayFS hierarchy.
## Syscall
Because it is only tested on x86_64, the syscall is only wired up for
this architecture. The whole x86 family (and probably all the others)
will be supported in the next patch series.
## Memory limits
There is currently no limit on the memory usage. Any idea to leverage
an existing mechanism (e.g. rlimit)?
# Changes since v13
* Revamp of the LSM: remove the need for eBPF and seccomp(2).
* Implement a full filesystem access-control.
* Take care of the backward compatibility issues, especially for
this security features.
