Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: fix export secctx error handling
Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2011 12:18:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1300015111-3673-1-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

In 1ae4de0cdf855305765592647025bde55e85e451, the secctx was exported
via the /proc/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack and ctnetlink interfaces
instead of the secmark.

That patch introduced the use of security_secid_to_secctx() which may
return a non-zero value on error.

In one of my setups, I have NF_CONNTRACK_SECMARK enabled but no
security modules. Thus, security_secid_to_secctx() returns a negative
value that results in the breakage of the /proc and `conntrack -L'
outputs. To fix this, we skip the inclusion of secctx if the
aforementioned function fails.

This patch also fixes the dynamic netlink message size calculation
if security_secid_to_secctx() returns an error, since its logic is
also wrong.

This problem exists in Linux kernel 2.6.37.3
