Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] apparmor: fix refcount leak in aa_get_newest_profile()
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 21:11:52 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111021132.584038-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107063050-failed-5.10-33ed50716251@kernel.org>
From: John Johansen <john.johansen@canonical.com>
[ Upstream commit 33ed50716251d5b2875706c40d0c8082d46be0b1 ]
The labels_profile() macro is evaluating its argument twice
#define labels_profile(X) ((X)->vec[(X)->size - 1])
unfortunately aa_get_newest_profile() passes
aa_get_newest_label(&p->label)
so every call to aa_get_newest_profile results in 2 refcounts
being taken with one being leaked.
There is no need for labels_profile() to be a macro. Convert it to
an inline fn, which ensures all uses are passing the correct struct
and removes the double evaluation.
Fixes: 637f688dc3dc ("apparmor: switch from profiles to using labels on contexts")
