Subject: Re: [PATCH -next v2 3/6] landlock: add chmod and chown support

Hello!

the mapping between Landlock rights to LSM hooks is now as follows in
your patch set:

* LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_CHMOD controls hook_path_chmod
* LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_CHGRP controls hook_path_chown
  (this hook can restrict both the chown(2) and chgrp(2) syscalls)

Is this the desired mapping?

The previous discussion I found on the topic was in

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/5873455f-fff9-618c-25b1-8b6a4ec94368@digikod.net/
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/b1d69dfa-6d93-2034-7854-e2bc4017d20e@schaufler-ca.com/
[3] https://lore.kernel.org/all/c369c45d-5aa8-3e39-c7d6-b08b165495fd@digikod.net/

In my understanding the main arguments were the ones in [2] and [3].

There were no further responses to [3], so I was under the impression
that we were gravitating towards an approach where the
file-metadata-modification operations were grouped more coarsely?

For example with the approach suggested in [3], which would be to
group the operations coarsely into (a) one Landlock right for
modifying file metadata that is used in security contexts, and (b) one
Landlock right for modifying metadata that was used in non-security
contexts. That would mean that there would be:

(a) LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MODIFY_SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES to control the
following operations:
  * chmod(2)-variants through hook_path_chmod,
  * chown(2)-variants and chgrp(2)-variants through hook_path_chown,
  * setxattr(2)-variants and removexattr(2)-variants for extended
    attributes that are not "user extended attributes" as described in
    xattr(7) through hook_inode_setxattr and hook_inode_removexattr

(b) LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MODIFY_NON_SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES to control the
following operations:
  * utimes(2) and other operations for setting other non-security
    sensitive attributes, probably through hook_inode_setattr(?)
  * xattr modifications like above, but for the "user extended
    attributes", though hook_inode_setxattr and hook_inode_removexattr

In my mind, this would be a sensible grouping, and it would also help
to decouple the userspace-exposed API from the underlying
implementation, as Casey suggested to do in [2].

Specifically for this patch set, if you want to use this grouping, you
would only need to add one new Landlock right
(LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MODIFY_SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES) as described above
under (a) (and maybe we can find a shorter name for it... :))?

Did I miss any operations here that would be necessary to restrict?

Would that make sense to you? Xiu, what is your opinion on how this
should be grouped? Do you have use cases in mind where a more
fine-grained grouping would be required?

—Günther

P.S.: Regarding utimes: The hook_inode_setattr hook *also* gets called
on a variety on attribute changes including file ownership, file size
and file mode, so it might potentially interact with a bunch of other
existing Landlock rights. Maybe that is not the right approach. In any
case, it seems like it might require more thinking and it might be
sensible to do that in a separate patch set IMHO.
