When smack and CONFIG_BPF_LSM=y is selected the bpf LSM will register NOP handlers including bpf_lsm_fs_context_fs_param() for the fs_context_fs_param LSM hook. The bpf LSM runs last, i.e. after smack according to: CONFIG_LSM="landlock,lockdown,yama,safesetid,integrity,tomoyo,smack,bpf" in the appended config. The smack hook runs and sets param->string = NULL then the bpf NOP handler runs returning -ENOPARM indicating to the vfs parameter parser that this is not a security module option so it should proceed processing the parameter subsequently causing the crash because param->string is not allowed to be NULL (Which the vfs parameter parser verifies early in fsconfig().).The security_fs_context_parse_param() function is incorrectly implemented using the call_int_hook() macro. It should return zero if any of the modules return zero. It does not follow the usual failure model of LSM hooks. It could be argued that the code was fine before the addition of the BPF hook, but it was going to fail as soon as any two security modules provided mount options. Regardless, I will have a patch later today. Thank you for tracking this down.Here's my proposed patch. I'll tidy it up with a proper commit message if it looks alright to y'all. I've tested with Smack and with and without BPF.Looks good to me. On question, in contrast to smack, selinux returns 1 instead of 0 on success. So selinux would cause an early return preventing other hooks from running. Just making sure that this is intentional. Iirc, this would mean that selinux causes fsconfig() to return a positive value to userspace which I think is a bug; likely in selinux. So I think selinux should either return 0 or the security hook itself needs to overwrite a positive value with a sensible errno that can be seen by userspace.I think that I agree. The SELinux and Smack versions of the hook are almost identical except for setting rc to 1 in the SELinux case. And returning 1 makes no sense if you follow the callers back. David Howells wrote both the SELinux and Smack versions. David - why are they different? which is correct?
The documentation for fs_context_parse_param notes: * @fs_context_parse_param: * Userspace provided a parameter to configure a superblock. The LSM may * reject it with an error and may use it for itself, in which case it * should return 0; otherwise it should return -ENOPARAM to pass it on to * the filesystem. * @fc indicates the filesystem context. * @param The parameter So we should simply make selinux return 0 on top of your patch when it has consumed the option.
