Subject: [apparmor][PATCH] apparmor: fix signedness bug in unpack_tags()
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2026 18:15:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260210171538.534950-1-mpellizzer.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <aYmsYRgv3VClpkjX@stanley.mountain>
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.
unpack_tags() is declared with return type size_t (unsigned) but returns
negative errno values on failure. The caller in unpack_pdb() tests the
return with `< 0`, which is always false for an unsigned type, making
error handling dead code. Malformed tag data would be silently accepted
instead of causing a load failure.
Change return type of unpack_tags() from size_t to int to match the
functions's actual semantic.
Fixes: 3d28e2397af7 ("apparmor: add support loading per permission tagging")
