Subject: [PATCH] libsepol: Fix potential use of an uninitialized value in link.c
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 13:52:43 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260122185243.86209-1-jwcart2@gmail.com> (raw)

The fields in struct missing_requirement are not assigned a value
in the case where a class is required but not in scope for an
optional block. This results in the use of an uninitialized value
in  print_missing_requirements(). The fields of the struct are
assigned correctly when the permission of a class is not in scope.

Assign values to the fields of the struct missing_requirement when
exiting early because the class is not in scope. Use 0 for the
permission index and only print the class name in
print_missing_requirements() if the permission index is 0.
