Subject: [PATCH 2/2] SELinux: Do not apply MMAP_ZERO check to PROT_NONE mappings
Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2011 14:39:55 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111021213955.7A46F2C0BF@topped-with-meat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: Roland McGrath's message of  Friday, 21 October 2011 14:39:16 -0700 <20111021213916.914462C0A5@topped-with-meat.com>

An mmap with PROT_NONE is done specifically to ensure that an address
will fault.  So doing this on addresses below CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
is not seeking a "dangerous" operation.  Conversely, it's an attempt
to ensure robustness in case CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR or vm.mmap_min_addr
is less restrictive than the user wants to be.

Since we might let a low mapping exist at all without a check, we
add another check to prevent mprotect from granting access to such
a mapping without passing an MMAP_ZERO security check.
