    landlock: Don't lose track of restrictions on cred_transfer · 39705a6c
    Jann Horn authored
    When a process' cred struct is replaced, this _almost_ always invokes
    the cred_prepare LSM hook; but in one special case (when
    KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT updates the parent's credentials), the
    cred_transfer LSM hook is used instead.  Landlock only implements the
    cred_prepare hook, not cred_transfer, so KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT causes
    all information on Landlock restrictions to be lost.
    
    This basically means that a process with the ability to use the fork()
    and keyctl() syscalls can get rid of all Landlock restrictions on
    itself.
    
    Fix it by adding a cred_transfer hook that does the same thing as the
    existing cred_prepare hook. (Implemented by having hook_cred_prepare()
    call hook_cred_transfer() so that the two functions are less likely to
    accidentally diverge in the future.)
