[RFC PATCH v2 8/9] selinux: add support for the io_uring access controls
WARNING - This is a work in progress, this patch, including the
description, may be incomplete or even incorrect. You have been
warned.
This patch implements two new io_uring access controls, specifically
support for controlling the io_uring "personalities" and
IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL. Controlling the sharing of io_urings themselves
is handled via the normal file/inode labeling and sharing mechanisms.
The io_uring { override_creds } permission restricts which domains
the subject domain can use to override it's own credentials.
Granting a domain the io_uring { override_creds } permission allows
it to impersonate another domain in io_uring operations.
The io_uring { sqpoll } permission restricts which domains can create
asynchronous io_uring polling threads. This is important from a
security perspective as operations queued by this asynchronous thread
inherit the credentials of the thread creator by default; if an
io_uring is shared across process/domain boundaries this could result
in one domain impersonating another. Controlling the creation of
sqpoll threads, and the sharing of io_urings across processes, allow
policy authors to restrict the ability of one domain to impersonate
another via io_uring.
As a quick summary, this patch adds a new object class with two
permissions:
io_uring { override_creds sqpoll }
These permissions can be seen in the two simple policy statements
below:
allow domA_t domB_t : io_uring { override_creds };
allow domA_t self : io_uring { sqpoll };
