Hello, Al.

Q1: Do you agree that we should fix TOMOYO side rather than SOCKET_I()->sk
    management.
You do realize that sockets are not unique in that respect, right?
All kinds of interesting stuff can be accessed via /proc/*/fd/*, and
it _can_ be closed under you.  So I'd suggest checking how your code
copes with similar for pipes, FIFOs, epoll, etc., accessed that way...
I know all kinds of interesting stuff can be accessed via /proc/*/fd/*,
and it _can_ be closed under me.

Regarding sockets, I was accessing "struct socket" memory and
"struct sock" memory which are outside of "struct inode" memory.

But regarding other objects, I am accessing "struct dentry" memory,
"struct super_block" memory and "struct inode" memory. I'm expecting
that these memory can't be kfree()d as long as "struct path" holds
a reference. Is my expectation correct?

We are _not_ going to be checking that in fs/open.c - the stuff found
via /proc/*/fd/* can have the associated file closed by the time
we get to calling ->open() and we won't know that until said call.
OK. Then, fixing TOMOYO side is the correct way.

Q2: Do you see any problem with using f->f_path.dentry->d_inode ?
    Do we need to use d_backing_inode() or d_inode() ?
Huh?  What's wrong with file_inode(f), in the first place?  And
just when can that be NULL, while we are at it?
Oh, I was not aware of file_inode(). Thanks.

Can that be called for a negative?
I check for NULL when I'm not sure it is guaranteed to hold a valid pointer.
You meant "we are sure that path->dentry->d_inode is valid", don't you?

By the way, "negative" associates with IS_ERR() range. I guess that
"NULL" is the better name...

Anyway, here is V2 patch.

Subject: [PATCH v2] tomoyo: Don't check open/getattr permission on sockets.

syzbot is reporting that use of SOCKET_I()->sk from open() can result in
use after free problem [1], for socket's inode is still reachable via
/proc/pid/fd/n despite destruction of SOCKET_I()->sk already completed.

But there is no point with calling security_file_open() on sockets
because open("/proc/pid/fd/n", !O_PATH) on sockets fails with -ENXIO.

There is some point with calling security_inode_getattr() on sockets
because stat("/proc/pid/fd/n") and fstat(open("/proc/pid/fd/n", O_PATH))
are valid. If we want to access "struct sock"->sk_{family,type,protocol}
fields, we will need to use security_socket_post_create() hook and
security_inode_free() hook in order to remember these fields because
security_sk_free() hook is called before the inode is destructed. But
since information which can be protected by checking
security_inode_getattr() on sockets is trivial, let's not be bothered by
"struct inode"->i_security management.

There is point with calling security_file_ioctl() on sockets. Since
ioctl(open("/proc/pid/fd/n", O_PATH)) is invalid, security_file_ioctl()
on sockets should remain safe.

What happened to this patch?

Also, isn't the same bug in other places too?:

	- tomoyo_path_chmod()
	- tomoyo_path_chown()
	- smack_inode_getsecurity()
	- smack_inode_setsecurity()
