From cac36f707119b792b2396aed371d6b5cdc194890 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Mahoney Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2010 13:17:37 -0400 Subject: reiserfs: fix permissions on .reiserfs_priv Commit 677c9b2e393a0cd203bd54e9c18b012b2c73305a ("reiserfs: remove privroot hiding in lookup") removed the magic from the lookup code to hide the .reiserfs_priv directory since it was getting loaded at mount-time instead. The intent was that the entry would be hidden from the user via a poisoned d_compare, but this was faulty. This introduced a security issue where unprivileged users could access and modify extended attributes or ACLs belonging to other users, including root. This patch resolves the issue by properly hiding .reiserfs_priv. This was the intent of the xattr poisoning code, but it appears to have never worked as expected. This is fixed by using d_revalidate instead of d_compare. This patch makes -oexpose_privroot a no-op. I'm fine leaving it this way. The effort involved in working out the corner cases wrt permissions and caching outweigh the benefit of the feature.
