commits 37863b0b1444c85a1ddc6c333c8bfea0c678c592 (libsepol/cil:
Improve degenerate inheritance check) and
74d00a8decebf940d95064ff60042dcb2cbcc2c0 (libsepol/cil: Detect
degenerate inheritance and exit with an error) attempted to detect
and exit with an error when compiling policies that have degenerate
inheritances. These policies result in the exponential growth of memory
usage while copying the blocks that are inherited.
There were two problems with the previous attempts to detect this
bad inheritance problem. The first is that the quick check using
cil_possible_degenerate_inheritance() did not detect all patterns
of degenerate inheritance. The second problem is that the detection
of inheritance loops during the CIL_PASS_BLKIN_LINK pass did not
detect all inheritance loops which made it possible for the full
degenerate inheritance checking done with
cil_check_for_degenerate_inheritance() to have a stack overflow
when encountering the inheritance loops. Both the degenerate and
loop inheritance checks need to be done at the same time and done
after the CIL_PASS_BLKIN_LINK pass. Otherwise, if loops are being
detected first, then a degenerate policy can cause the consumption
of all system memory and if degenerate policy is being detected
first, then an inheritance loop can cause a stack overflow.
With the new approach, the quick check is eliminated and the full
check is always done after the CIL_PASS_BLKIN_LINK pass. Because
of this the "inheritance_check" field in struct cil_resolve_args
is not needed and removed and the functions
cil_print_recursive_blockinherit(), cil_check_recursive_blockinherit(),
and cil_possible_degenerate_inheritance() have been deleted. The
function cil_count_potential() is renamed cil_check_inheritances()
and has checks for both degenerate inheritance and inheritance loops.
The inheritance checking is improved and uses an approach similar
to commit c28525a26fa145cb5fd911fd2a3b9125a275677f (libsepol/cil:
Properly check for loops in sets). Most importantly, the call to
cil_check
As has been the case with these degenerate inheritance patches,
these issues were discovered by the secilc-fuzzer.
