Whiteout objects are *not* considered\ncharacter devices and are not bound to a driver.\n\nLANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG describes the same permission class as a\nwhiteout object: creating one is the only S_IFCHR creation that the VFS\nexempts from CAP_MKNOD, so it is as unprivileged as creating a regular\nfile, while LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_CHAR and\nLANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_BLOCK keep meaning the creation of devices that\nexpose a kernel interface [1].\n\nFor the mknod(2) case, introduce a Landlock erratum. The creation of\nwhiteout objects through mknod(2) was previously guarded using\nLANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_CHAR, and it is now guarded using\nLANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG.\n\nFor the renameat2(2) case, fix a bug: Before this commit, renameat2(2)\nwith RENAME_WHITEOUT would create a directory entry even when all\nLANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_* rights were denied.\n\nThis does not affect normal renames within layered OverlayFS mounts:\nWhen doing a regular rename() on a mounted fuse-overlayfs, it is the\nfuse-overlayfs daemon that exercises renameat2() with RENAME_WHITEOUT,\nand only the Landlock domain of that daemon is checked there.\n\nDepends-on: 49c9e09d9610 (\"landlock: Fix handling of disconnected directories\")\nDepends-on: fe72ce6710cb (\"landlock: Add errata documentation section\")\n[mic: Record why LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG is the matching right, and\nadd link(2) to the user doc]", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "cb2c7d1a1776057c9a1f48ed1250d85e94d4850d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "39fc16597715125529df8f94e016fb00836ee3c1" }, { "version": "cb2c7d1a1776057c9a1f48ed1250d85e94d4850d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "d739e32318479086efb8a6bcf5d37cf341b51f8f" }, { "version": "cb2c7d1a1776057c9a1f48ed1250d85e94d4850d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "dfb10d989056181168ebc16781a8f39520e33200" }, { "version": "cb2c7d1a1776057c9a1f48ed1250d85e94d4850d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "efb4f24fc2b9bcef1c41ff3392894f1fa8fba2a0" }, { "version": "cb2c7d1a1776057c9a1f48ed1250d85e94d4850d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "627ce4902df1d737e99306daae5a87c68b876d16" }, { "version": "cb2c7d1a1776057c9a1f48ed1250d85e94d4850d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "0c3204aacbe8c07f9e87e3028f28ec6c166a1075" }, { "version": "cb2c7d1a1776057c9a1f48ed1250d85e94d4850d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "672fa082d48b21e1fb62cdb184fee41513e53421" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "5.13", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "5.13" }, { "version": "5.15.222", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*" }, { "version": "6.1.188", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*" }, { "version": "6.6.157", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*" }, { "version": "6.12.110", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*" }, { "version": "6.18.50", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*" }, { "version": "7.2.4", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*" }, { "version": "7.3", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
