Userspace goes through vfs_getxattr() -> xattr_getsecurity() -> cap_inode_getsecurity(), which does the conversion to the value userspace sees. __vfs_getxattr() just gives the raw disk data. I'm also currently working on changes to my fscaps series that will make it so that __vfs_getxattr() also cannot be used to read fscaps xattrs. I'll fix this and other code in EVM which will be broken by that change as part of the next version too. > > Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.14.x > Cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org > Cc: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> > Cc: Seth Forshee (DigitalOcean) <sforshee@kernel.org> > Fixes: 907a399de7b0 ("evm: Check xattr size discrepancy between kernel and user") > Signed-off-by: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@huawei.com> > --- > security/integrity/evm/evm_crypto.c | 4 ++-- > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/security/integrity/evm/evm_crypto.c b/security/integrity/evm/evm_crypto.c > index b1ffd4cc0b44..168d98c63513 100644 > --- a/security/integrity/evm/evm_crypto.c > +++ b/security/integrity/evm/evm_crypto.c > @@ -278,8 +278,8 @@ static int evm_calc_hmac_or_hash(struct dentry *dentry, > if (size < 0) > continue; > > - user_space_size = vfs_getxattr(&nop_mnt_idmap, dentry, > - xattr->name, NULL, 0); > + user_space_size = __vfs_getxattr(dentry, inode, xattr->name, > + NULL, 0); > if (user_space_size != size) > pr_debug("file %s: xattr %s size mismatch (kernel: %d, user: %d)\n", > dentry->d_name.name, xattr->name, size, > -- > 2.34.1 >
