Subject: [PATCH 1/2] AppArmor: Fix reference to rcu protected pointer outside of rcu_read_lock
Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 02:44:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1309311874-23262-2-git-send-email-john.johansen@canonical.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1309311874-23262-1-git-send-email-john.johansen@canonical.com>

The pointer returned from tracehook_tracer_task() is only valid inside
the rcu_read_lock.  However the tracer pointer obtained is being passed
to aa_may_ptrace outside of the rcu_read_lock critical section.

Mover the aa_may_ptrace test into the rcu_read_lock critical section, to
fix this.

Kernels affected: 2.6.36 - 3.0
