From: Mimi Zohar <zohar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 92063f3ca73aab794bd5408d3361fd5b5ea33079 upstream. The kernel may be built with multiple LSMs, but only a subset may be enabled on the boot command line by specifying "lsm=". Not including "integrity" on the ordered LSM list may result in a NULL deref. As reported by Dmitry Vyukov: in qemu: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -machine q35,nvdimm -cpu max,migratable=off -smp 4 -m 4G,slots=4,maxmem=16G -hda wheezy.img -kernel arch/x86/boot/bzImage -nographic -vga std -soundhw all -usb -usbdevice tablet -bt hci -bt device:keyboard -net user,host=10.0.2.10,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:22 -net nic,model=virtio-net-pci -object memory-backend-file,id=pmem1,share=off,mem-path=/dev/zero,size=64M -device nvdimm,id=nvdimm1,memdev=pmem1 -append "console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda earlyprintk=serial rodata=n oops=panic panic_on_warn=1 panic=86400 lsm=smack numa=fake=2 nopcid dummy_hcd.num=8" -pidfile vm_pid -m 2G -cpu host But it crashes on NULL deref in integrity_inode_get during boot: Run /sbin/init as init process BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000001c PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN CPU: 3 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.12.0-rc2+ #97 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.13.0-44-g88ab0c15525c-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:kmem_cache_alloc+0x2b/0x370 mm/slub.c:2920 Code: 57 41 56 41 55 41 54 41 89 f4 55 48 89 fd 53 48 83 ec 10 44 8b 3d d9 1f 90 0b 65 48 8b 04 25 28 00 00 00 48 89 44 24 08 31 c0 <8b> 5f 1c 4cf RSP: 0000:ffffc9000032f9d8 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff888017fc4f00 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: ffff888040220000 RSI: 0000000000000c40 RDI: 0000000000000000 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffff888019263627 R10: ffffffff83937cd1 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000c40 R13: ffff888019263538 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000ffffff FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88802d180000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 000000000000001c CR3: 000000000b48e000 CR4: 0000000000750ee0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 PKRU: 55555554 Call Trace: integrity_inode_get+0x47/0x260 security/integrity/iint.c:105 process_measurement+0x33d/0x17e0 security/integrity/ima/ima_main.c:237 ima_bprm_check+0xde/0x210 security/integrity/ima/ima_main.c:474 security_bprm_check+0x7d/0xa0 security/security.c:845 search_binary_handler fs/exec.c:1708 [inline] exec_binprm fs/exec.c:1761 [inline] bprm_execve fs/exec.c:1830 [inline] bprm_execve+0x764/0x19a0 fs/exec.c:1792 kernel_execve+0x370/0x460 fs/exec.c:1973 try_to_run_init_process+0x14/0x4e init/main.c:1366 kernel_init+0x11d/0x1b8 init/main.c:1477 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:294 Modules linked in: CR2: 000000000000001c ---[ end trace 22d601a500de7d79 ]--- Since LSMs and IMA may be configured at build time, but not enabled at run time, panic the system if "integrity" was not initialized before use.
