[PATCH] security: fix the logic in security_inode_getsecctx()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The inode_getsecctx LSM hook has previously been corrected to have
-EOPNOTSUPP instead of 0 as the default return value to fix BPF LSM
behavior. However, the call_int_hook()-generated loop in
security_inode_getsecctx() was left treating 0 as the neutral value, so
after an LSM returns 0, the loop continues to try other LSMs, and if one
of them returns a non-zero value, the function immediately returns with
said value. So in a situation where SELinux and the BPF LSMs registered
this hook, -EOPNOTSUPP would be incorrectly returned whenever SELinux
returned 0.

Fix this by open-coding the call_int_hook() loop and making it use the
correct LSM_RET_DEFAULT() value as the neutral one, similar to what
other hooks do.

I ran 'tools/nfs.sh' on the patch and even though it fixes the most
serious issue that Stephen reported, some of the tests are still
failing under NFS (but I will presume that these are pre-existing issues
not caused by the patch).

I can also see an opportunity to clean up the hook implementations in
security/security.c - I plan to have a go at it and send it as a
separate patch later.
