[PATCH] selinux: check return value for receive node permission
From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This patch fixes a bug where the return value for a permission call is not checked. The bug was introduced when I added some code in the following changeset: <http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/diffs/security/selinux/hooks.c@1.19?nav=index.html|src/|src/security|src/security/selinux|hist/security/selinux/hooks.c> Code was added after this line: err = avc_has_perm(isec->sid, node_sid, SECCLASS_NODE, node_perm, NULL, &ad); without adding an explicit check of 'err', which was previously returned from the function rather than being checked. i.e. it would drop through to: out: return err; } With the new code added, err can (and typically would) be overwritten with a successful value, causing the permission check to not deny permission if needed. The intended denial would have been logged. The patch below fixes this problem.
