Subject: [PATCH 6.12 53/77] selinux: require a classs permission values to cover its permission count
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 15:26:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825132543.640796184@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825132541.580275153@linuxfoundation.org>
6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Bryam Vargas <hexlabsecurity@proton.me>
[ Upstream commit b98a8ac50775540f3804397ed08f61ef9910bcab ]
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.
