Bryam Vargas 20383429b5 apparmor: mediate the implicit connect of TCP fast open sendmsg
[ Upstream commit 4d587cd8a7 ]

sendmsg()/sendto() with MSG_FASTOPEN is a combination of connect(2) and
write(2): it opens the connection in the SYN. apparmor_socket_sendmsg()
only checks AA_MAY_SEND, so a profile that grants send but denies connect
lets a confined task open an outbound TCP/MPTCP connection that connect(2)
would have refused, bypassing connect mediation.

Mediate the implicit connect when MSG_FASTOPEN is set and a destination
is supplied. Add it to apparmor_socket_sendmsg() (not the shared
aa_sock_msg_perm() helper, which recvmsg also uses) and call aa_sk_perm()
directly, mirroring the selinux and tomoyo fixes. sk_is_tcp() does not
cover MPTCP fast open, so the SOCK_STREAM/IPPROTO_MPTCP arm is explicit.

Fixes: cf60af03ca ("net-tcp: Fast Open client - sendmsg(MSG_FASTOPEN)")
