From: Bryam Vargas <[email protected]> security_get_classes() sizes an array by p_classes.nprim and fills it at value - 1, so a class value the policy never defines leaves a NULL. sel_make_classes() passes every entry to sel_make_dir(), reaching the same d_alloc_name() dereference as the permission array. The class symbol table is allowed to be sparse (policydb_class_isvalid() exists to absorb that), but this getter builds its own array straight from the hash table and has no such predicate. Fail the lookup when a value went unclaimed instead of handing out the NULL. Conforming policies define every class they declare and are unaffected. Fixes: 55fcf09b3fe4 ("selinux: add support for querying object classes and permissions from the running policy") Cc: [email protected] Signed-off-by: Bryam Vargas <[email protected]> --- security/selinux/ss/services.c | 24 +++++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/security/selinux/ss/services.c b/security/selinux/ss/services.c index 90e81186cb2e..7afce975436e 100644 --- a/security/selinux/ss/services.c +++ b/security/selinux/ss/services.c @@ -3304,6 +3304,7 @@ int security_get_classes(struct selinux_policy *policy, char ***classes, u32 *nclasses) { struct policydb *policydb; + u32 i; int rc; policydb = &policy->policydb; @@ -3316,16 +3317,29 @@ int security_get_classes(struct selinux_policy *policy, rc = hashtab_map(&policydb->p_classes.table, get_classes_callback, *classes); - if (rc) { - u32 i; + if (rc) + goto err; - for (i = 0; i < *nclasses; i++) - kfree((*classes)[i]); - kfree(*classes); + /* + * The class symtab may be sparse, which policydb_class_isvalid() exists + * to absorb; the callback fills this array by value, so an unclaimed + * one leaves a NULL that sel_make_classes() hands to sel_make_dir(). + */ + for (i = 0; i < *nclasses; i++) { + if (!(*classes)[i]) { + rc = -EINVAL; + goto err; + } } out: return rc; + +err: + for (i = 0; i < *nclasses; i++) + kfree((*classes)[i]); + kfree(*classes); + return rc; } static int get_permissions_callback(void *k, void *d, void *args) -- 2.55.0
