If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Konstantin Andreev [ Upstream commit a7c44fd9f80e37763acf9cd3c87a58058d206427 ] Both smackfs/direct and smackfs/mapped incorrectly accept the full range of integer values. For example: # cd /sys/fs/smackfs/ # cat direct ; echo 250 # cat cipso2 @ 250/2 _ 250/2,4,5,6,7,8 * 250/3,5,7 ^ 250/2,4,5,6,7 ? 250/3,4,5,6,7,8 # echo -1234 >direct ; cat direct ; echo -1234 # cat cipso2 @ -1234/2 _ -1234/2,4,5,6,7,8 * -1234/3,5,7 ^ -1234/2,4,5,6,7 ? -1234/3,4,5,6,7,8 # I noticed two things regarding this: 1) sensitivity levels are truncated to 8 bits when labeling outgoing packets (0x2e = 46 for the -1234 example above) 2) the reverse process fails: incoming packets with sensitivity level 46 do not match these smackfs/cipso2 entries. Even observation (1) on its own warrants a fix. This patch restricts smackfs/direct and smackfs/mapped accepted values to the 0-255 range.
