[RFC] [PATCH] Stacking support for inode_init_security

From: hallyn@private
Date: Fri Aug 19 2005 - 13:47:12 PDT


The following patch changes the (new to -mm) inode_init_security
function to support multiple LSMs.  It does this by placing the
three passed arguments (name, value, len) into a structure, and
passing in a list_head, onto which the structure can be appended.
The callers (filesystems) call their <fs>_xattr_set functions
on each returned (name, value, len) set.

This is useful both for the stacker LSM, and for any two (or more)
LSMs which might want to cooperate even without stacker.

I've tested it under a plain selinux-enabled 2.6.13-rc6-mm1 using
Stephen Smalley's sample exploit originally motivating
inode_init_security, as well as with a simple 'touch ab; ls -Z ab'.

I've also tested it with a corresponding stacker patch, with
selinux stacked with two test LSMs which simply define
inode_init_security.  Again, this passed the sample exploit, and
manually inspecting the .security xattrs gave the expected results.


thanks,
-serge
