    selinux: Only apply bounds checking to source types · 7ea59202
    Stephen Smalley 提交于
    The current bounds checking of both source and target types
    requires allowing any domain that has access to the child
    domain to also have the same permissions to the parent, which
    is undesirable.  Drop the target bounds checking.
    
    KaiGai Kohei originally removed all use of target bounds in
    commit 7d52a155 ("selinux: remove dead code in
    type_attribute_bounds_av()") but this was reverted in
    commit 2ae3ba39 ("selinux: libsepol: remove dead code in
    check_avtab_hierarchy_callback()") because it would have
    required explicitly allowing the parent any permissions
    to the child that the child is allowed to itself.
    
    This change in contrast retains the logic for the case where both
    source and target types are bounded, thereby allowing access
    if the parent of the source is allowed the corresponding
    permissions to the parent of the target.  Further, this change
    reworks the logic such that we only perform a single computation
    for each case and there is no ambiguity as to how to resolve
    a bounds violation.
    
    Under the new logic, if the source type and target types are both
    bounded, then the parent of the source type must be allowed the same
    permissions to the parent of the target type.  If only the source
    type is bounded, then the parent of the source type must be allowed
    the same permissions to the target type.
    
    Examples of the new logic and comparisons with the old logic:
    1. If we have:
    	typebounds A B;
    then:
    	allow B self:process <permissions>;
    will satisfy the bounds constraint iff:
    	allow A self:process <permissions>;
    is also allowed in policy.
    
    Under the old logic, the allow rule on B satisfies the
    bounds constraint if any of the following three are allowed:
    	allow A B:process <permissions>; or
    	allow B A:process <permissions>; or
    	allow A self:process <permissions>;
    However, either of the first two ultimately require the third to
    satisfy the bounds constraint under the old logic, and therefore
    this degenerates to the same result (but is more efficient - we only
    need to perform one compute_av call).
    
    2. If we have:
    	typebounds A B;
    	typebounds A_exec B_exec;
    then:
    	allow B B_exec:file <permissions>;
    will satisfy the bounds constraint iff:
    	allow A A_exec:file <permissions>;
    is also allowed in policy.
    
    This is essentially the same as #1; it is merely included as
    an example of dealing with object types related to a bounded domain
    in a manner that satisfies the bounds relationship.  Note that
    this approach is preferable to leaving B_exec unbounded and having:
    	allow A B_exec:file <permissions>;
    in policy because that would allow B's entrypoints to be used to
    enter A.  Similarly for _tmp or other related types.
    
    3. If we have:
    	typebounds A B;
    and an unbounded type T, then:
    	allow B T:file <permissions>;
    will satisfy the bounds constraint iff:
    	allow A T:file <permissions>;
    is allowed in policy.
    
    The old logic would have been identical for this example.
    
    4. If we have:
    	typebounds A B;
    and an unbounded domain D, then:
    	allow D B:unix_stream_socket <permissions>;
    is not subject to any bounds constraints under the new logic
    because D is not bounded.  This is desirable so that we can
    allow a domain to e.g. connectto a child domain without having
    to allow it to do the same to its parent.
    
    The old logic would have required:
    	allow D A:unix_stream_socket <permissions>;
    to also be allowed in policy.
