2.6.19.2 Oops

2.6.19.2 Oops

[Antoine Martin]

Hi,

I tried to upgrade a system which had been running very smoothly for 
quite some time (enforcing=1), but it just Oopsed with 2.6.19.2, even in 
non-enforcing mode, I had to use selinux=0 to get anywhere (otherwise 
the Oops below just scrolled on the console)

CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM_VALUE=1
# CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE is not set
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_AVC_STATS=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE=1
# CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_ENABLE_SECMARK_DEFAULT is not set
# CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_POLICYDB_VERSION_MAX is not set

Any help much appreciated.
Antoine

Looks like the patch below introduced a bug in the !mls_enabled case for
mls_export_cat(), where it unconditionally sets *high and *high_len but
selinux_netlbl_socket_setsid() calls it with NULL arguments there:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git-commits-head&m=116101502503654&w=2

Seems to be obsoleted by:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git-commits-head&m=116516927321105&w=2

Unless you need NetLabel (i.e. CIPSO labeling of packets, MLS only), you
can workaround it by disabling CONFIG_NETLABEL (under Networking
options) in your kernel config.

I don't use Netlabel atm, so I'll disable it and report back.
(it will take a while as the reboot needs to be scheduled)

Thanks!

Disabling Netlabel did the trick.
Shouldn't that be sent to stable for 2.6.19.3? (it is a oops after all)

Thanks

Right, and to clarify - the patch is to fix the bug, not to disable
NetLabel.

This patch should solve the problem.  Before I send this off for the stable 
tree does anyone have any comments?

(I'd like to try and send this off by the end of the day today)

This looks to be related to NetLabel as the Oops is happening in 
mls_export_cat().  Could you do the following in gdb and report the results 
so that we can get a better idea of what instruction is causing the NULL 
dereference:

 (gdb) list *mls_export_cat+0x33

Also, can you tell us what distribution and SELinux policy you are using?

Thanks for reporting this.

Not sure how to do this on a running kernel, where do I get the symbols 
from? assuming they were compiled in (also the running kernel's cmdline 
has selinux=0)

Gentoo 2005.1/x86:
libselinux 1.30
libsemanage 1.6
libsepol 1.12-r1
