[PATCH 2/3] ima: Ensure lock is held when setting iint pointer in inode security blob

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@xxxxxxxxxx>

IMA stores a pointer of the ima_iint_cache structure, containing integrity
metadata, in the inode security blob. However, check and assignment of this
pointer is not atomic, and it might happen that two tasks both see that the
iint pointer is NULL and try to set it, causing a memory leak.

Ensure that the iint check and assignment is guarded, by adding a lockdep
assertion in ima_inode_get().

Consequently, guard the remaining ima_inode_get() calls, in
ima_post_create_tmpfile() and ima_post_path_mknod(), to avoid the lockdep
warnings.
