Subject: [PATCH v3] pci: use security_capable() when checking capablities during config space read
Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 17:21:49 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110215012149.GM9869@sequoia.sous-sol.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.LRH.2.00.1102141203430.12055@tundra.namei.org>

This reintroduces commit 47970b1b which was subsequently reverted
as f00eaeea.  The original change was broken and caused X startup
failures and generally made privileged processes incapable of reading
device dependent config space.  The normal capable() interface returns
true on success, but the LSM interface returns 0 on success.  This thinko
is now fixed in this patch, and has been confirmed to work properly.

So, once again...Eric Paris noted that commit de139a3 ("pci: check caps
from sysfs file open to read device dependent config space") caused the
capability check to bypass security modules and potentially auditing.
Rectify this by calling security_capable() when checking the open file's
capabilities for config space reads.
