[PATCH 4.4 064/190] selinux: do not check open permission on sockets

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Apr 11 2018 - 16:41:10 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit ccb544781d34afdb73a9a73ae53035d824d193bf ]

open permission is currently only defined for files in the kernel
(COMMON_FILE_PERMS rather than COMMON_FILE_SOCK_PERMS). Construction of
an artificial test case that tries to open a socket via /proc/pid/fd will
generate a recvfrom avc denial because recvfrom and open happen to map to
the same permission bit in socket vs file classes.

open of a socket via /proc/pid/fd is not supported by the kernel regardless
and will ultimately return ENXIO. But we hit the permission check first and
can thus produce these odd/misleading denials. Omit the open check when
operating on a socket.
