Hi, While looking at the code paths for the proposed O_MAYEXEC flag, I saw some things that looked like they should be fixed up. exec: Change uselib(2) IS_SREG() failure to EACCES This just regularizes the return code on uselib(2). exec: Relocate S_ISREG() check This moves the S_ISREG() check even earlier than it was already. exec: Relocate path_noexec() check This adds the path_noexec() check to the same place as the S_ISREG() check. fs: Include FMODE_EXEC when converting flags to f_mode This seemed like an oversight, but I suspect there is some reason I couldn't find for why FMODE_EXEC doesn't get set in f_mode and just stays in f_flags. Thanks! -Kees Kees Cook (4): exec: Change uselib(2) IS_SREG() failure to EACCES exec: Relocate S_ISREG() check exec: Relocate path_noexec() check fs: Include FMODE_EXEC when converting flags to f_mode fs/exec.c | 13 +++++++++---- fs/namei.c | 5 +++++ fs/open.c | 6 ------ include/linux/fs.h | 3 ++- include/linux/fsnotify.h | 4 ++-- 5 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) -- 2.20.1
