From: Bryam Vargas <[email protected]> security_get_permissions() sizes an array by the class's permissions.nprim and fills it at value - 1, from the inherited common's permission table and then the class's own. A value no permission defines leaves a NULL that sel_make_perm_files() passes to d_alloc_name(), an oops inside sel_write_load() that strands selinux_state.policy_mutex and leaves every later load in uninterruptible sleep; two permissions sharing a value overwrite the first kstrdup(). Bounding each value by nprim catches neither, and neither would a count: the symbol table is keyed on the permission name, so duplicates pass. Track the values each permission table claims and require them to cover exactly what its count declares, rejecting a count no value can reach. Conforming policies 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/policydb.c | 51 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 46 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/security/selinux/ss/policydb.c b/security/selinux/ss/policydb.c index 69777e885ae7..d358200817bd 100644 --- a/security/selinux/ss/policydb.c +++ b/security/selinux/ss/policydb.c @@ -1154,7 +1154,18 @@ int str_read(char **strp, gfp_t flags, struct policy_file *fp, u32 len) return 0; } -static int perm_read(struct policydb *p, struct symtab *s, struct policy_file *fp) +/* + * Bitmap of the permission values a symtab has claimed.
