selinux: should execmem disable shmat(..., SHM_EXEC)?

[Topi Miettinen <toiwoton@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Maybe this is a stupid question and I didn't test this with SELinux, but
it looks to me that SELinux execmem does not prevent process from
getting writable and executable memory mappings by using shmat(...,
SHM_EXEC). Shouldn't this be blocked by execmem, I suppose it is there
to prevent this kind of memory access?

Here's a test program:
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>

int main(void) {
        int shmid;
        char *execmem;
        void (*fn)(void);

        shmid = shmget(IPC_PRIVATE, 4096, IPC_CREAT | 0777);
        execmem = shmat(shmid, 0, SHM_EXEC);
        shmctl(shmid, IPC_RMID, 0);
        *execmem = 0xc3; // retq
        fn = (void (*)(void))execmem;
        fn();
        shmdt(execmem);
}
