Hello John Johansen,
Commit 3d28e2397af7 ("apparmor: add support loading per permission
tagging") from Apr 1, 2025 (linux-next), leads to the following
Smatch static checker warning:
security/apparmor/policy_unpack.c:966 unpack_pdb()
warn: unsigned 'unpack_tags(e, &pdb->tags, info)' is never less than zero.
security/apparmor/policy_unpack.c
951 static int unpack_pdb(struct aa_ext *e, struct aa_policydb **policy,
952 bool required_dfa, bool required_trans,
953 const char **info)
954 {
955 struct aa_policydb *pdb;
956 void *pos = e->pos;
957 int i, flags, error = -EPROTO;
958 ssize_t size;
959 u32 version = 0;
960
961 pdb = aa_alloc_pdb(GFP_KERNEL);
962 if (!pdb)
963 return -ENOMEM;
964
965 AA_DEBUG(DEBUG_UNPACK, "unpacking tags");
--> 966 if (unpack_tags(e, &pdb->tags, info) < 0)
^^^^^^^^^^^
Signedness bug. unpack_tags() is unsigned.
967 goto fail;
968 AA_DEBUG(DEBUG_UNPACK, "done unpacking tags");
969
970 size = unpack_perms_table(e, &pdb->perms);
971 if (size < 0) {
972 error = size;
973 pdb->perms = NULL;
regards,
dan carpenter
