From a280b89982f48e9a32c6410a37419b12ca88af6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Morris Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2006 20:46:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [SECURITY] secmark: nul-terminate secdata The patch below fixes a problem in the iptables SECMARK target, where the user-supplied 'selctx' string may not be nul-terminated. From initial analysis, it seems that the strlen() called from selinux_string_to_sid() could run until it arbitrarily finds a zero, and possibly cause a kernel oops before then. The impact of this appears limited because the operation requires CAP_NET_ADMIN, which is essentially always root. Also, the module is not yet in wide use.
