(Reminder: this patch description line length is a bit short. According to Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst, the patch description line length should be line wrapped at 75 columns.) > > Signed-off-by: Lakshmi Ramasubramanian <nramas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Fixes: e9085e0ad38a ("IMA: Add support to limit measuring keys") > --- > @@ -1120,8 +1117,17 @@ static int ima_parse_rule(char *rule, struct ima_rule_entry *entry) > result = -EINVAL; > break; > } > + > + ima_keyrings = kstrdup(args[0].from, GFP_KERNEL); > + if (!ima_keyrings) { > + result = -ENOMEM; > + break; > + } This would work for a single "key" measurement rule, but not for multiple rules, where the last "keyrings" string is shorter than the previous ones. For example, in addition to the builtin trusted keyrings, another rule could measure a keyring owned by a user. measure func=KEY_CHECK template=ima-buf keyrings=.ima|.builtin_trusted_keys measure func=KEY_CHECK uid=1000 template=ima-buf keyrings=_foo Mimi > entry->keyrings = kstrdup(args[0].from, GFP_KERNEL); > if (!entry->keyrings) { > + kfree(ima_keyrings); > + ima_keyrings = NULL; > result = -ENOMEM; > break; > }
