Mickaël Salaün Dec. 12, 2024, 5:42 p.m. UTC
Test that checks performed by execveat(..., AT_EXECVE_CHECK) are
consistent with noexec mount points and file execute permissions.

Test that SECBIT_EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE and SECBIT_EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE are
inherited by child processes and that they can be pinned with the
appropriate SECBIT_EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE_LOCKED and
SECBIT_EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE_LOCKED bits.

---

Changes since v21:
* Fix test's variants formatting.

Changes since v20:
* Rename AT_CHECK to AT_EXECVE_CHECK.

Changes since v19:
* Rename securebits.
* Rename test file.

Changes since v18:
* Rewrite tests with the new design: execveat/AT_CHECK and securebits.
* Simplify the capability dropping and improve it with the NOROOT
  securebits.
* Replace most ASSERT with EXPECT.
* Fix NULL execve's argv to avoid kernel warning.
* Move tests to exec/
* Build a "false" static binary to test full execution path.

Changes since v14:
* Add Reviewed-by Kees Cook.

Changes since v13:
* Move -I to CFLAGS (suggested by Kees Cook).
* Update sysctl name.

Changes since v12:
* Fix Makefile's license.

Changes since v10:
* Update selftest Makefile.

Changes since v9:
* Rename the syscall and the sysctl.
* Update tests for enum trusted_for_usage

Changes since v8:
* Update with the dedicated syscall introspect_access(2) and the renamed
  fs.introspection_policy sysctl.
* Remove check symlink which can't be use as is anymore.
* Use socketpair(2) to test UNIX socket.

Changes since v7:
* Update tests with faccessat2/AT_INTERPRETED, including new ones to
  check that setting R_OK or W_OK returns EINVAL.
* Add tests for memfd, pipefs and nsfs.
* Rename and move back tests to a standalone directory.

Changes since v6:
* Add full combination tests for all file types, including block
  devices, character devices, fifos, sockets and symlinks.
* Properly save and restore initial sysctl value for all tests.

Changes since v5:
* Refactor with FIXTURE_VARIANT, which make the tests much more easy to
  read and maintain.
* Save and restore initial sysctl value (suggested by Kees Cook).
* Test with a sysctl value of 0.
* Check errno in sysctl_access_write test.
* Update tests for the CAP_SYS_ADMIN switch.
* Update tests to check -EISDIR (replacing -EACCES).
* Replace FIXTURE_DATA() with FIXTURE() (spotted by Kees Cook).
* Use global const strings.

Changes since v3:
* Replace RESOLVE_MAYEXEC with O_MAYEXEC.
* Add tests to check that O_MAYEXEC is ignored by open(2) and openat(2).

Changes since v2:
* Move tests from exec/ to openat2/ .
* Replace O_MAYEXEC with RESOLVE_MAYEXEC from openat2(2).
* Cleanup tests.

Changes since v1:
* Move tests from yama/ to exec/ .
* Fix _GNU_SOURCE in kselftest_harness.h .
* Add a new test sysctl_access_write to check if CAP_MAC_ADMIN is taken
  into account.
* Test directory execution which is always forbidden since commit
  73601ea5b7b1 ("fs/open.c: allow opening only regular files during
  execve()"), and also check that even the root user can not bypass file
  execution checks.
* Make sure delete_workspace() always as enough right to succeed.
* Cosmetic cleanup.
