[PATCH -next] exec: Remove redundant check in do_open_execat/uselib

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

 



There is a false positive WARNON happening in execve(2)/uselib(2)
syscalls with concurrent noexec-remount.

       execveat                           remount
do_open_execat(path/bin)
  do_filp_open
    path_openat
      do_open
        may_open
          path_noexec() // PASS
	                            remount(path->mnt, MS_NOEXEC)
WARNON(path_noexec(&file->f_path)) // path_noexec() checks fail

Since may_open() has already checked the same conditions, fix it by
removing 'S_ISREG' and 'path_noexec' check in do_open_execat()/uselib(2).

Fixes: 0fd338b2d2cdf8 ("exec: move path_noexec() check earlier")
