Its filename was selinux-reject-writable-opens-of-policy-file-drop-mmap-shared-write-check.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)" Subject: selinux: reject writable opens of policy file, drop mmap shared/write check Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 17:22:21 +0100 The policy file has no write method and is exposed read-only (S_IRUGO in selinux_files[]), yet sel_open_policy() performs no open mode check, so a CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE caller can open it O_RDWR. Reject FMODE_WRITE at open, as kernfs does. The file can then never be mapped with FMODE_WRITE, so do_mmap() always clears VM_MAYWRITE and VM_SHARED for MAP_SHARED mappings and the VM_SHARED check in sel_mmap_policy() cannot be reached. Remove it. This also stops sel_mmap_policy() clearing VM_MAYWRITE on a mapping that is neither a PFN map nor a mixed map, ahead of the core enforcing that only such mappings may do so.
