Subject: [PATCH] selinux: stricter parsing in mls_context_to_sid()
Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2018 11:36:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180803093604.38254-1-jannh@google.com> (raw)
mls_context_to_sid incorrectly accepted MLS context strings that are
followed by a dash and trailing garbage.
Before this change, the following command works:
# mount -t tmpfs -o 'context=system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0-s0:c0-BLAH' \
none mount
After this change, it fails with the following error message in dmesg:
SELinux: security_context_str_to_sid(system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0-s0:c0-BLAH)
failed for (dev tmpfs, type tmpfs) errno=-22
This is not an important bug; but it is a small quirk that was useful for
exploiting a vulnerability in fusermount.
This patch does not change the behavior when the policy does not have MLS
enabled.
