Update the file labeling backend to support specifying multiple SELABEL_OPT_PATH options in selabel_open(). All provided paths are stored in rec->spec_files and processed during initialization. Derived files, such as substitutions (.subs, .subs_dist) and auxiliary contexts (.homedirs, .local), continue to be based on the first path (or default selinux_file_context_path()) when enabled. Duplicate checking is only performed within each context file. The current behavior expects the ability for a later file to overwrite a previous declaration (e.g., .local). Signed-off-by: ThiƩbaud Weksteen <[email protected]> --- Changes since v2: - Add optional paths (homedirs, local) to spec_files. Since these might be referenced, let's keep track of them as any other spec files. spec_files now contains the required files followed by the optional files. - Strictly validate that, at most, 255 options are provided to init(). - Remove the intermediate `path` variable. - Note: the 2rd argument of process_file is now always NULL. This can be cleaned in a follow up commit. Changes since v1: - Restore nodups_spec_node, ignore duplicates across files. - Change num_paths type to uint8_t and check for overflow. - Check for NULL before strdup any path. - Use num_paths and num_paths+1 for homedirs and local. libselinux/src/label_file.c | 154 ++++++++++++++++++++++---------- libselinux/src/label_internal.h | 3 +- 2 files changed, 107 insertions(+), 50 deletions(-) diff --git a/libselinux/src/label_file.c b/libselinux/src/label_file.c index d91e1462..c955216b 100644 --- a/libselinux/src/label_file.c +++ b/libselinux/src/label_file.c @@ -106,7 +106,8 @@ void sort_spec_node(struct spec_node *node, struct spec_node *parent) /* * Warn about duplicate specifications. */ -static int nodups_spec_node(const struct spec_node *node, const char *path) +static int nodups_spec_node(const struct selabel_handle *rec, + const struct spec_node *node) { int rc = 0;
