Because of the overlayfs getxattr recursion, the incoming inode fails to update the selinux sid resulting in avc denials being reported against a target context of u:object_r:unlabeled:s0. Solution is to respond to the XATTR_NOSECURITY flag in get xattr method that calls the __vfs_getxattr handler instead so that the context can be read in, rather than being denied with an -EACCES when vfs_getxattr handler is called. For the use case where access is to be blocked by the security layer. The path then would be security(dentry) -> __vfs_getxattr({dentry...XATTR_NOSECURITY}) -> handler->get({dentry...XATTR_NOSECURITY}) -> __vfs_getxattr({realdentry...XATTR_NOSECURITY}) -> lower_handler->get({realdentry...XATTR_NOSECURITY}) which would report back through the chain data and success as expected, the logging security layer at the top would have the data to determine the access permissions and report back to the logs and the caller that the target context was blocked. For selinux this would solve the cosmetic issue of the selinux log and allow audit2allow to correctly report the rule needed to address the access problem. Check impure, opaque, origin & meta xattr with no sepolicy audit (using __vfs_getxattr) since these operations are internal to overlayfs operations and do not disclose any data. This became an issue for credential override off since sys_admin would have been required by the caller; whereas would have been inherently present for the creator since it performed the mount. This is a change in operations since we do not check in the new ovl_do_getxattr function if the credential override is off or not. Reasoning is that the sepolicy check is unnecessary overhead, especially since the check can be expensive. Because for override credentials off, this affects _everyone_ that underneath performs private xattr calls without the appropriate sepolicy permissions and sys_admin capability. Providing blanket support for sys_admin would be bad for all possible callers. For the override credentials on, this will affect only the mounter, should it lack sepolicy permissions. Not considered a security problem since mounting by definition has sys_admin capabilities, but sepolicy contexts would still need to be crafted. It should be noted that there is precedence, __vfs_getxattr is used in other filesystems for their own internal trusted xattr management.
