OSS-Fuzz found a Null-dereference READ in the CIL compiler when trying to compile the following policy: (optional o (validatetrans x (eq t3 (a ())))) With some logs, secilc reports: Invalid syntax Destroying Parse Tree Resolving AST Failed to resolve validatetrans statement at fuzz:1 Disabling optional 'o' at tmp.cil:1 So there is an "Invalid syntax" error, but the compilation continues. Fix this issue by stopping the compilation when cil_fill_list() reports an error: Invalid syntax Bad expression tree for constraint Bad validatetrans declaration at tmp.cil:1 Fixes: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/detail?id=29061 Signed-off-by: Nicolas Iooss <nicolas.iooss@xxxxxxx> --- libsepol/cil/src/cil_build_ast.c | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/libsepol/cil/src/cil_build_ast.c b/libsepol/cil/src/cil_build_ast.c index 4caff3cb3c98..0ea90cf92186 100644 --- a/libsepol/cil/src/cil_build_ast.c +++ b/libsepol/cil/src/cil_build_ast.c @@ -2713,7 +2713,11 @@ static int __cil_fill_constraint_leaf_expr(struct cil_tree_node *current, enum c cil_list_append(*leaf_expr, CIL_STRING, current->next->next->data); } else if (r_flavor == CIL_LIST) { struct cil_list *sub_list; - cil_fill_list(current->next->next->cl_head, leaf_expr_flavor, &sub_list); + rc = cil_fill_list(current->next->next->cl_head, leaf_expr_flavor, &sub_list); + if (rc != SEPOL_OK) { + cil_list_destroy(leaf_expr, CIL_TRUE); + goto exit; + } cil_list_append(*leaf_expr, CIL_LIST, sub_list); } else { cil_list_append(*leaf_expr, CIL_CONS_OPERAND, (void *)r_flavor); -- 2.29.2
