Since userfaultfd doesn't implement a write operation, it is more appropriate to open it read-only. When userfaultfds are opened read-write like it is now, and such fd is passed from one process to another, SELinux will check both read and write permissions for the target process, even though it can't actually do any write operation on the fd later. Inspired by the following bug report, which has hit the SELinux scenario described above: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1974559 Reported-by: Robert O'Callahan <roc@ocallahan.org> Fixes: 86039bd3b4e6 ("userfaultfd: add new syscall to provide memory externalization") Signed-off-by: Ondrej Mosnacek <omosnace@redhat.com> --- Resending as the last submission was ignored for over a year... https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210624152515.1844133-1-omosnace@redhat.com/T/ I marked this as RFC, because I'm not sure if this has any unwanted side effects. I only ran this patch through selinux-testsuite, which has a simple userfaultfd subtest, and a reproducer from the Bugzilla report. Please tell me whether this makes sense and/or if it passes any userfaultfd tests you guys might have. fs/userfaultfd.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
