commit 5b0db51215e895a361bc63132caa7cca36a53d6a upstream. There is a wrong case of link() on overlay: $ mkdir /lower /fuse /merge $ mount -t fuse /fuse $ mkdir /fuse/upper /fuse/work $ mount -t overlay /merge -o lowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/fuse/upper,\ workdir=work $ touch /merge/file $ chown bin.bin /merge/file // the file's caller becomes "bin" $ ln /merge/file /merge/lnkfile Then we will get an error(EACCES) because fuse daemon checks the link()'s caller is "bin", it denied this request. In the changing history of ovl_link(), there are two key commits: The first is commit bb0d2b8ad296 ("ovl: fix sgid on directory") which overrides the cred's fsuid/fsgid using the new inode. The new inode's owner is initialized by inode_init_owner(), and inode->fsuid is assigned to the current user. So the override fsuid becomes the current user. We know link() is actually modifying the directory, so the caller must have the MAY_WRITE permission on the directory. The current caller may should have this permission. This is acceptable to use the caller's fsuid. The second is commit 51f7e52dc943 ("ovl: share inode for hard link") which removed the inode creation in ovl_link(). This commit move inode_init_owner() into ovl_create_object(), so the ovl_link() just give the old inode to ovl_create_or_link(). Then the override fsuid becomes the old inode's fsuid, neither the caller nor the overlay's mounter! So this is incorrect. Fix this bug by using ovl mounter's fsuid/fsgid to do underlying fs's link().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
