From f696a3659fc4b3a3bf4bc83d9dbec5e5a2ffd929 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:41:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] move executable checking into ->permission() For execute permission on a regular files we need to check if file has any execute bits at all, regardless of capabilites. This check is normally performed by generic_permission() but was also added to the case when the filesystem defines its own ->permission() method. In the latter case the filesystem should be responsible for performing this check. Move the check from inode_permission() inside filesystems which are not calling generic_permission(). Create a helper function execute_ok() that returns true if the inode is a directory or if any execute bits are present in i_mode. Also fix up the following code: - coda control file is never executable - sysctl files are never executable - hfs_permission seems broken on MAY_EXEC, remove - hfsplus_permission is eqivalent to generic_permission(), remove Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi --- fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c | 10 ++++++++-- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c') diff --git a/fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c b/fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c index 5fe210c09171..7b997754a25e 100644 --- a/fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c +++ b/fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c @@ -298,13 +298,19 @@ static int proc_sys_permission(struct inode *inode, int mask) * sysctl entries that are not writeable, * are _NOT_ writeable, capabilities or not. */ - struct ctl_table_header *head = grab_header(inode); - struct ctl_table *table = PROC_I(inode)->sysctl_entry; + struct ctl_table_header *head; + struct ctl_table *table; int error; + /* Executable files are not allowed under /proc/sys/ */ + if ((mask & MAY_EXEC) && S_ISREG(inode->i_mode)) + return -EACCES; + + head = grab_header(inode); if (IS_ERR(head)) return PTR_ERR(head); + table = PROC_I(inode)->sysctl_entry; if (!table) /* global root - r-xr-xr-x */ error = mask & MAY_WRITE ? -EACCES : 0; else /* Use the permissions on the sysctl table entry */ -- cgit v1.2.3
