Title
selinux: fix overlayfs mmap() and mprotect() access checks
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: fix overlayfs mmap() and mprotect() access checks
The existing SELinux security model for overlayfs is to allow access if
the current task is able to access the top level file (the "user" file)
and the mounter's credentials are sufficient to access the lower
level file (the "backing" file). Unfortunately, the current code does
not properly enforce these access controls for both mmap() and mprotect()
operations on overlayfs filesystems.
This patch makes use of the newly created security_mmap_backing_file()
LSM hook to provide the missing backing file enforcement for mmap()
operations, and leverages the backing file API and new LSM blob to
provide the necessary information to properly enforce the mprotect()
access controls.

The existing security model for overlayfs does not properly enforce access controls for `mmap()` and `mprotect()` operations. This oversight could allow a local attacker to bypass intended security policies, potentially leading to unauthorized access to files within an overlayfs filesystem. The vulnerability is resolved by enhancing backing file enforcement for `mmap()` and leveraging new LSM (Linux Security Module) capabilities for `mprotect()` access controls."

"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nselinux: fix overlayfs mmap() and mprotect() access checks\n\nThe existing SELinux security model for overlayfs is to allow access if\nthe current task is able to access the top level file (the \"user\" file)\nand the mounter\u0027s credentials are sufficient to access the lower\nlevel file (the \"backing\" file). Unfortunately, the current code does\nnot properly enforce these access controls for both mmap() and mprotect()\noperations on overlayfs filesystems.\n\nThis patch makes use of the newly created security_mmap_backing_file()\nLSM hook to provide the missing backing file enforcement for mmap()\noperations, and leverages the backing file API and new LSM blob to\nprovide the necessary information to properly enforce the mprotect()\naccess controls."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
