Hello Al Viro,
The patch e3489f8974e1: "selinux: kill selinux_sb_get_mnt_opts()"
from Dec 13, 2018, leads to the following static checker warning:
security/selinux/hooks.c:1075 show_sid()
error: we previously assumed 'context' could be null (see line 1070)
security/selinux/hooks.c
1061 static int show_sid(struct seq_file *m, u32 sid)
1062 {
1063 char *context = NULL;
1064 u32 len;
1065 int rc;
1066
1067 rc = security_sid_to_context(&selinux_state, sid,
1068 &context, &len);
1069 if (!rc) {
1070 bool has_comma = context && strchr(context, ',');
^^^^^^^
Can context be NULL?
1071
1072 seq_putc(m, '=');
1073 if (has_comma)
1074 seq_putc(m, '\"');
--> 1075 seq_escape(m, context, "\"\n\\");
^^^^^^^
Because if it is, then we're toasted when we pass it to seq_escape().
1076 if (has_comma)
1077 seq_putc(m, '\"');
1078 }
1079 kfree(context);
1080 return rc;
1081 }
regards,
dan carpenter
