This patch series adds scoping mechanism for abstract unix sockets. Closes: https://github.com/landlock-lsm/linux/issues/7 Problem ======= Abstract unix sockets are used for local inter-process communications independent of the filesystem. Currently, a sandboxed process can connect to a socket outside of the sandboxed environment, since Landlock has no restriction for connecting to an abstract socket address(see more details in [1,2]). Access to such sockets for a sandboxed process should be scoped the same way ptrace is limited. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231023.ahphah4Wii4v@digikod.net/ (local) [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231102.MaeWaepav8nu@digikod.net/ (local) Solution ======== To solve this issue, we extend the user space interface by adding a new "scoped" field to Landlock ruleset attribute structure. This field can contains different rights to restrict different functionalities. For abstract unix sockets, we introduce "LANDLOCK_SCOPED_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET" field to specify that a ruleset will deny any connection from within the sandbox domain to its parent (i.e. any parent sandbox or non-sandbox processes). Example ======= Starting a listening socket with socat(1): socat abstract-listen:mysocket - Starting a sandboxed shell from $HOME with samples/landlock/sandboxer: LL_FS_RO=/ LL_FS_RW=. LL_SCOPED="a" ./sandboxer /bin/bash If we try to connect to the listening socket, the connection would be refused. socat - abstract-connect:mysocket --> fails Notes of Implementation ======================= * Using the "scoped" field provides enough compatibility and flexibility to extend the scoping mechanism for other IPCs(e.g. signals). * To access the domain of a socket, we use its credentials of the file's FD which point to the credentials of the process that created the socket. (see more details in [3]). Cases where the process using the socket has a different domain than the process created it are covered in the unix_sock_special_cases test.
