Allow to pass the socket address structure with AF_UNSPEC family for
compatibility purposes. selinux_socket_bind() will further check it
for INADDR_ANY and selinux_socket_connect_helper() should return
EINVAL.

For a bad address family return EINVAL instead of AFNOSUPPORT error,
i.e. what is expected from SCTP protocol in such case.

Since sctp_bindx() and sctp_connectx() can have multiple addresses,
sk_family can differ from sa_family. Therefore, selinux_socket_bind()
and selinux_socket_connect_helper(), which process sockaddr structure
(address and port), should use the address family from that structure
too, and not from the socket one.

The initialization of the data for the audit record is moved above,
in selinux_socket_bind(), so that there is no duplicate changes and
code.

Commit d452930fd3b9 ("selinux: Add SCTP support") breaks compatibility
with the old programs that can pass sockaddr_in structure with AF_UNSPEC
and INADDR_ANY to bind(). As a result, bind() returns EAFNOSUPPORT error.
This was found with LTP/asapi_01 test.

Similar to commit 29c486df6a20 ("net: ipv4: relax AF_INET check in
bind()"), which relaxed AF_INET check for compatibility, add AF_UNSPEC
case to AF_INET and make sure that the address is INADDR_ANY.

<id>23c8cec8cf679b10997a512abb1e86f0cedc42ba</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a permission discrepancy when consulting msq ipc object
metadata between /proc/sysvipc/msg (0444) and the MSG_STAT shmctl
command.  The later does permission checks for the object vs S_IRUGO.
As such there can be cases where EACCESS is returned via syscall but the
info is displayed anyways in the procfs files.

While this might have security implications via info leaking (albeit no
writing to the msq metadata), this behavior goes way back and showing
all the objects regardless of the permissions was most likely an
overlook - so we are stuck with it.  Furthermore, modifying either the
syscall or the procfs file can cause userspace programs to break (ie
ipcs).  Some applications require getting the procfs info (without root
privileges) and can be rather slow in comparison with a syscall -- up to
500x in some reported cases for shm.

This patch introduces a new MSG_STAT_ANY command such that the msq ipc
object permissions are ignored, and only audited instead.  In addition,
I've left the lsm security hook checks in place, as if some policy can
block the call, then the user has no other choice than just parsing the
procfs file.

Patch series "sysvipc: introduce STAT_ANY commands", v2.

The following patches adds the discussed (see [1]) new command for shm
as well as for sems and msq as they are subject to the same
discrepancies for ipc object permission checks between the syscall and
via procfs.  These new commands are justified in that (1) we are stuck
with this semantics as changing syscall and procfs can break userland;
and (2) some users can benefit from performance (for large amounts of
shm segments, for example) from not having to parse the procfs
interface.

Once merged, I will submit the necesary manpage updates.  But I'm thinking
something like:

This patch (of 3):

There is a permission discrepancy when consulting shm ipc object metadata
between /proc/sysvipc/shm (0444) and the SHM_STAT shmctl command.  The
later does permission checks for the object vs S_IRUGO.  As such there can
be cases where EACCESS is returned via syscall but the info is displayed
anyways in the procfs files.

While this might have security implications via info leaking (albeit no
writing to the shm metadata), this behavior goes way back and showing all
the objects regardless of the permissions was most likely an overlook - so
we are stuck with it.  Furthermore, modifying either the syscall or the
procfs file can cause userspace programs to break (ie ipcs).  Some
applications require getting the procfs info (without root privileges) and
can be rather slow in comparison with a syscall -- up to 500x in some
reported cases.

This patch introduces a new SHM_STAT_ANY command such that the shm ipc
object permissions are ignored, and only audited instead.  In addition,
I've left the lsm security hook checks in place, as if some policy can
block the call, then the user has no other choice than just parsing the
procfs file.

syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at xattr_getsecurity() [1],
for cap_inode_getsecurity() is returning sizeof(struct vfs_cap_data) when
memory allocation failed. Return -ENOMEM if memory allocation failed.
